Just can't get out of Bronze

I don't know why Bronze is so full of trolls and afk'ers. It's like almost every game I'm stuck with one or the other, so of course it's impossible for me to ever get promoted out of it. I can't even make it from Bronze V to Bronze IV without being knocked back down in a handful of games. Unfortunately often 1 person can ruin the game for their entire time and it's the other 4 players that are being punished and lose LP's and can never rank up. I hope Riot can come up with a better system for the next season, because it takes the fun out of playing.

I would love to be in Bronze 5. No stress, no worries; you can't sink any lower in rank.

Matter of fact, I'm gonna go start rank right now!

There's really nothing you can do but go wit the flow. Call mid, next dude calls supp, but then instalocks zed and recalls mid anyway? normally you summon a hailstorm of vengeance on that guy, but in ranked its a guaranteed loss. just gotta suck it up and go supp for the sake of the team.

Said Zed will probably be a terrible shot caller and start a terrible team fight, but sometimes you got to go against your better judgment and save his sorry ass if possible.

Well it all depends how much better you are than the people @ your elo range. If you are waaay above Bronze level, just practice strong early game champions or duelist champions and stomp the shit out of your lane opponent ... then proceed to snowball the game before someone in your team starts trolling or going afk.

Just play Garen all day everyday. He's so broken OP, if you can't win a game playing him, then you belong in bronze.

The idea is to get better to a point where you stop getting paired up with trolls and noobs who are probably feeding every game. So, ideally, if you get better you will get paired up with less and less noobs/and trolls. AFKs and DCs will always be in a small minority of matches because internet problems.

I got out of bronze, and I happen to be climbing in Silver now.

Probably just your lack of skill. Obviously AFKers don't help, because I've had them in both of my promotions to Silver III, but if you're decent enough you'll climb eventually.

Here is how you get out.

Find a duo partner that you know is good enough for silver, This way you eliminate the chances of people afk by 1 player, Also instead of having 4 people you probably dont trust, you have 3. this makes the game alot easier, Also learn how to carry, Play some of those bs Champions like Riven or Fizz.

I started in bronze 5 on my old main. I got to bronze 1 within 4 days. It is possible.

These people are underestaiming how bad Bronze 5 and 4 are. It's far worse than these "other players" remember.
