A confused player... Why do I suck? How can I get better?

I am confused, see title. I don't like 1 v 5 carrying a game. I can be a shot caller, I can be the strongest champion, I can carry a game, but I am struggling with 1 v 5 carrying a game. Telling the team what they need to do, having to be the play maker, having to get fed, having to control the game, having to be the engager while also being the only champion worth killing, having to out play every thing the enemy throws at you. I can't do it. I wind up making a mistake trying to do too much and I lose us the game. If you have to 1 v 5 in order to win every game then fuck... I guess there is no other way. I keep getting to Bronze 1 then I fail. How did you get out of bronze?

You don't have to have a mindset of a "Solo Queue Hero", you have to have a mindset of someone who can improve.

You have to be someone who can ask himself: What did i do wrong? What can i do to prevent what i just did?

Never in a game have i been forced to 1v5 a game. It's impossible. Focus on not commiting mistakes at first. It's not hard to keep a winrate above 50%

Best idea. Stop carrying about whether you are good or not. Just play the game and have fun. You know what will help? Play Ranked for about a month. After that losing a normal game is nothing and will not frustrate you and reduce your enjoyment levels.

Teamwork carries.

Pick adc and afk farm until you get full build. Then it's just 1 teamfight to decide a game. Stay in a safe position and go pewpewpew.

Well I always do it as jungler.

I'm the most likely team caller anyway, I can decide the flow of the game just naturally and not as something extra. I can give up kills and decide who gets fed or take them myself and just burden the pain of have to carry it.

Bronze is a different world, don't try to get out of it with pro mindset. Teamwork and team movement is really bad in bronze, they usually have no idea what they are doing and what they are supposed to do.

People usually try to tell bronze players teamwork, because that's what matters in higher elos, but that's not true in bronze. You have to be the one who gives confidences to your teammates.

Try to play jg/mid, try to play champs that makes solo plays and are able to get out of bad situations like 2v1 alone.

Try to get 150+ minions at 20min.

Try to learn how to harass your lane opponents in lane to destroy their confidence.

When you're ahead, bring that advantage to your teammates. Buy a ward to go gank other lanes after you pushed your lane or killed your lane opponents.
