The Bronze Dilemma

BigMilkCows·9/3/2017, 6:19:13 PM·1 votes·246 views

So I'm not the kind of person who likes to say "I only lose because my team sucks and I don't" and I know I know what a horrible thought but what if it was true. I have bad games like everyone, I'm not denying that but I can't get out of Bronze. I play with my irl Gold/Plat Friends all the time and tend to do well(I don't carry or anything) yet I cant win in bronze. Whether or not I carry most of the time my team feeds or is toxic or there is an afk. My friends tell me I have to carry but I don't like many carry champs yet I end up carrying with champs that aren't even meant for it. Take this for example, I just lost an S- game with Bard. I started off the game building support then I picked up solo kills and starting getting more kills then my team. This is when y'all say "Maybe that's why you lost, you stole kills". But I didn't steal any they were solo kills or when my ADC would dive in at a bad time and wold die. So I started building AP and started carrying and ended the game with the most damage on the team and a score of 10/2/12. As a support. I lose all the time when I did good and I play for the team not for myself. I try not to be toxic as much as I can but like I can't win. I have 2 champs with good winrates and the rest are horrible. I bought Zed to try and carry with him but he isn't even fun to play. I like playing champs with more utility to help the team like Ivern and Bard yet people don't even understand how to play with champs like this. Any advice from anyone and not the advice saying "Maybe you should revaluate the way you play the game and see what your doing wrong" because I know what I'm doing wrong and I work to fix it. Yet most of my games are games where one team feeds like 10 kills in 10 minutes or a 50 minute long session where teams just lollygag around the map. I don't want to be a meta slave and I don't feel like being a one trick since I'm still playing for fun and not an endless grind where I want to kill myself. Does any wise person have some real tips that aren't just the generic YouTube "10 tips that most players don't know" video tips?

Yeah the problem is that you can't rely on your teammates at low elo. If you go in with a mindset that you'll get peeled or that you can go in and make plays expecting a followup you'll be left to dry and just keep losing.

That's why you gotta play carry champions, specially the ones with lots of self peel and survival, that way you can make plays without having to rely on anyone. Supports, tanks and immobile adcs are definitely a nono.

maybe you can find someone that plays well and likes playing carry champs. Then you can stay at botlane and make sure the enemy adc doesn´t go 10/0 at min 5 and support him later in teamfights. Things that may also help:

-picking late game champs ( because most people can´t end a game even when fed ) -picking a good splitpusher ( because most people don´t give a shit about objectives and react way too late )
