how to prevent this goddamn ranked system from holding you back

i have no problem with losing sometimes when the enemy team is better but it is NOT okay to make sure that all win streaks are always nullified by lose streaks. i've been trapped in this hell all the fucking season i climb from low bronze to high bronze (i once even was silver) and then i get uncarriables team that no matter how i fucking try my butt out i can't carry. I recently climbed from bronze 4 to bronze 1 in 4 days mostly duoing with my silver adc main friend, and even playing solo sometimes wasnt really stopping the streak, but now, it's fucking awful, it started with me having a team of 2 bronze II 1 bronze I 1 unranked 1 silver v vs a team of fucking 4 silver v and a bronze II and then i kept getting teams feeding all lines and rendering me unable to carry look at the gold differences in these games its litteraly disgusting it's supposed to be a competitive game where you prove your skilland improve, but no, its a litteral cold-hearted godlike system that dont acknowlede improvement and want you to stay where it predicted you belong forever forcing you on streaks of unbalanced teams to achieve a perfect 50% winrate. amazing. NOW, HOW THE FUCK CAN I BREAK THAT CURSE OF A SYSTEM???

The ranked system is flawed, imo it should be more like Pokémon Showdown’s true elo system: match with similar rank, no mmr, gain and lose LP based based on the people’s rank you beat.

Anyway, try one-tricking a snowballer or a split-pusher to get out of Bronze and Silver.

One-tricking makes it so you know a champ and its match ups so well that you will rarely be the reason you lose.

Snowballers and split-pushers are good because lower elo don’t play as well when behind and they struggle dealing with split pushing

On almost all of your champions you average more deaths than kills. You are consistently the lowest in terms of damage in you last games when you are on carry champs i see games that you are getting out damaged by players in the support role. you are a support main who builds incorrectly Coin>>>>spell thief on soraka the AP is not worth delaying your item power spikes. Also because you are bronze and main support you have 0 clue how to actually play lanes or know nothing about damage foresight. When you do play lane you average 4-5 CS which is really bad. Just by focusing on not dying and CSing alone would get you to silver. You are playing way too many champions across too many roles. You have games in ever position with random champions and some champions i know you are not mechanically capable of using such as talon J4 you don't actually play better than your team or your opponents you get lucky leads because no one at your MMR knows what they are doing.

Now how to get on the path of fixing this stuff is pretty simple.

  1. Stop playing support pick a solo lane don't pick jungle. You learn more about the game by playing lane and your mechanics will usually improve more through laning.
  2. Learn to CS focus entirely on CSing stop trying to kill the opponent and focus on surviving and CSing. 16 CS = 1 kill if you improve from 4 to 7 CS per minute by 5 minutes into the game you will accumulate enough gold for an entire kill. it makes no sense to try to force kills especially when you don't know when or how to properly push your champion.
  3. pick easy to play champs like Annie/Lissandra/swain take Flash and ignite in 95% of match ups exhaust is sometimes an okay option too. These champions have easy rotations fit into pretty much any team composition. Annie and Lissandra make CSing very easy to help you to learn how to farm.
  4. Work on mechanics you play champs with 0 mechanics that rely on your team doing all the work mechanics alone can carry yourself to pretty high MMRs

doing these things should fix your issues but you also need to get a hold of your emotions just by looking at this post i can tell you probably spend a good amount of the time typing in chat which ultimately does nothing for you or the team flaming someone doesn't do anything its just gonna tilt your team and hinder your performance and your teammates performance. If your response to any of this is that's not fun then you actually dont care about improving or about climbing you just want to play the game. If you're truly better than the other team you'll be able to carry yourself to higher MMRs. Every season i get put into bronze 1 to silver 4 and have easily been able to climb to my current MMR i get stuck at my current MMR because that's where my level of mechanics and understanding of the game have brought me and its up to me NOT MY TEAM to improve.

i think you misunderstood someting im not really a sup main when i play sup i usually duo with an adc main friend or it's because i picked fill since i don't really know what role to play, also csing is kinda hard in bronze because there is much fighting and team fights everywhere and to prevent your team from dying you need to join, i was god tiers champs recently and no i sometimes get mad but i never flame my team for this i try to keep the moral up. And well, mechanic is not the problem i have kind of good mechanics with most champs the problem is mostly i dont know what to do with the bronze chaos

  1. CSing is not "hard" in bronze its actually really easy. The enemy laner doesn't know proper trading because even in plat they don't know proper trading. If they have to walk up into the middle of the wave to hit you then you will win trades easily because minion aggro plus they are probably sacrificing CS to try and do damage to you.

  2. for the first 15 minutes of the game 99% of the time you don't need to worry about anything else except your lane /mute all at the start of them game and CS your roaming and "attempt" to save players is pointless. Obviously there are gonna be cases where helping is better but ultimately this comes to your decision making.

  3. Checked your op.gg again and you are playing a large variety of champs which means you don't actually gain any mechanical skills you are just pressing buttons ask anyone who actually climbs they will tell you they stick to 2-3 champs at most and don't play multiple roles unless they are below the elo that they are at.

  4. Your mechanics are not good period its easy to tell when you have a negative KDA. again you have too many games spread across too many champions you have 11 champions across EVERY lane in the game in your last 40 games how are you ever supposed to get consistent at anything in the game when you are constantly changing things.

  5. No one gets to their MMR because of luck everyone reaches their MMR based on their level of understanding the game you clearly have false beliefs that you refuse to accept that's not anyone else problem but your own

What i said before is true for pretty much everyone in bronze/silver your opgg says everything you need to know about how you play. Everything i've told you are things every diamond/master/challenger player i've ever talked to has told me. You should be able to compare your games side by side with a high elo player and clearly see a difference in skill.

Like i said pick mid/top annie lissandra swain mid and malphite swain annie lissandra for top learn to actually CS excuses don't get you anywhere go watch higher mmr players and streamers watch youtube videos about understanding lanes.

The reason you want to play these types of champions is because they are mechanically easy to play and allow you to focus on the rest of the game like CSing. play the game like you are the only human player on your team be selfish mute everyone on your team because they don't know what they are talking about either and its not worth

If you don't want to stick to 1 lane or a smaller champion pool that are within your skill level then you're probably not interested in actually climbing and getting higher MMR and you probably care more about having fun which is fine it's, a video game.

right now i try to pick champs according to team comp but i'm usually comfortable with all of them the point is, i play worse and become tilted if i lose a row with my main champ so i need to vary a little bit and actually sometimes i play worse with an easy champ that i would do with a medium/hard champ, maybe because i find them too boring to play and im not playing them at their full potential for some reason. ( i genuinely find annie cancerous to play) but i really want to climb and get diamond someday tbh, it's kinda also a reason why i try learning a good load of the champsfopr varied team comps and counters. Also, i know that my cs could be better but yea i feel like grouping is a better idea on my elo, i usually find them ok when i still have more than my laner. but yea thx for the tips i should also work on my tilt. Oh and also, just one question, may it be harder to climb rn because end of season is coming and boosters are roaming a lot in low elo?

counter picks and team comps dont matter at your MMR i could pick soraka mid or teemo jungle and probably have a 70%+ win rate the reason I can do that is no one is coordinated in low elo no one works together there is no communication between players and no one truly understands why something is considered a counter pick not to mention they don't have the mechanics to use difficult champs which is why i recommend certain champs for your MMR.

And yes i have picked random stuff in low MMR i've beaten numerous zeds with sona mid and soraka top and a number of other dumb picks not because they are good but because i'm just better than the players in Bronze/silver

not wanting to play something because its "boring" or "cancer" is just an excuse i also gave a number of champs (Lissandra, Swain for mid, and Malphite swain for top) if you REALLY don't wanna play annie which i dont understand why not. Her Q makes farming insanely easy and refunds 100% of the mana use on CS kill and reduces the CD. Flash tibbers can solo carry team fights. For a burst mage she can get quite tanky because of her E which has built in damage reduction and with RoA makes you hard to focus down. If you don't wanna play those champs that is up to you but the way you are approaching the game is not likely to give you the results you desire.

Don't learn champions Learn the game play easy champs to learn the game and once you get higher MMR and your skills improve you can take what you know about the game and apply it to other champions watch youtube videos watch streamers there is plenty of information out there that you should be able to get to at least gold if you put the effort into the game. You're playing close to 2k games so im sure you can invest some of that time to watching videos about the game.

Boosters/smurfs are not a problem in your elo end of season and start of the season are considered easier to climb if you know how to carry yourself. Anyway GL

well i would just say that annie doesnt fit my play style i have a lot more fun playing assassin like akali or diana (who i know is a fighter tho) i also found recently that i can carry pretty well with them anyway a plat 5 smurf is duoing with me rn so i can get my silver 5 for my silver border i wouldnt say i don't deserve it cause i already climbed to silver 5 earlier this season and i'm still working for it by duoing, i'm just struggling to repeat the process rn
