3 Tips to get you out quickly and painlessly- Be kind and don't argue with them, because they enjoy arguing more than playing. Trust. They hate grouping , figure out a way to make your team play together and you'll slowly realize that the team that groups more, wins more. Play assassin junglers. .. etc

Split pushing in Bronze is basically an instant GG, assuming you know how to split push correctly. Just play someone who can 1v1 or 1v2 with ease and you're solid. A fed Yi or Yasuo are good options.

Yasuo being the most difficult option. Play shit like Trynd/Yi/Jax/Garen, or any of the other brainless top laners that split effectively, can 1v2 or more (important part) and the MOST important part, have a reliable escape. Jax ward hop, hop to allied minions/trynd e over walls, e away from cc/garen q away, really tanky/ yi ult away or take ghost/ etc

Yasuo can split push really well, but is also caught out really easily and most aren't capable of outplaying to the extent needed to beat something like an amumu/darius or whatever. You also take a lot longer to hit the point where you can 1v2 AND Yasuo is much stronger in team scenarios where he can come in after the initial cc/ults are down and play cleanup crew.

last point, you shouldn't be playing shit like yasuo in low elo unless you're a plat smurf lol.. but then you wouldn't be on this board sooo? XD

I've said it before, Yasuo does not need to "outplay" anything to win. Yasuo brings so much damage and raw power with his kit alone that you can just right click and Q spam to win. I play Yasuo like Master Yi, a squishy hypercarry who's deathly allergic to CC and based primarily on auto attacks and Q spamming. If you play Yasuo like Yi and not try to be Faker, then you'll understand why some people call him braindead.

If you have your 3-item spike of IE, Shiv, and Bloodthirster, then you're un-1v1able. Period. You simply right click harder than any enemy can dream of. At that point, it's 1v2's and 1v3's that you have to worry about, and even then only if they have hard CC.

I agree with #1, but not sure about the rest.

What from I've seen, people in bronze actually group extensively in mid, failing to see any other strategy or possibility to play. The solution is actually to play some champion who can reliably split push, so either you can push to victory alone if they don't dedicate enough resources at you, or if they do, let your team to outpush their mid lane. People in bronze rarely know how to deal with a strong split pusher.

I disagree with you because half the time you're splitting and they don't know what to do. So now you have 3-4 people coming after you and your team won't be doing anything in the meantime. It's better to just get people grouped and pick off the enemy wanderers or face-checkers.

If they send 3-4 people after you, you've already succeeded. If you're smart, you can set up few wards and do exactly what you just said - pick off face-checkers and so on. Then just disengage, start some other objective (dragon/nashor..) or just switch to a different lane. It's a very situational decision, but I don't think that relying on 4 bronze players is a reliable way to climb. If that works for you though, great :)
