The Bronze Tier Struggle

I began playing League in Season 4 and I leveled myself up to level 30 pretty quickly because I really wanted to play ranked. Once I reached the 10 placement games I didn't do bad but I could've played better. Eventually II was placed in Bronze 2 or 3 and after playing for a short while I got knocked into Bronze 4 and I got frustrated immediately and stopped playing the game.

As the new season came around I played a little here and there(not ranked) but then ultimately stopped again. However as summer came around I started up again and by my mistake didnt really get myself really used to the new season as I should've and I went almost straight into my placement games. Here I believe I only won twice and lost the other 8 games(I can put half the blame on myself as I wasnt't completely associated with the game but the other part goes to my teams that couldn't communicate or fought with each other more than they fought the enemy team) . I was placed in Bronze 5, which NOW I realize should be everyones worst fear.

I played and won and then lost and then won and it kept going. Occasionally I went on some win streaks that were then broken by a stupid loss that set me back. I can say I'm not a bad player at all and if I have bad plays and games I dont blame others, I try to become better by the loss. However SO MANY players in Bronze are toxic and more focused on themselves getting fed than finishing a game for the victory.

When I see my team start arguing about the game (ex: "Ashe you're 0/2 **** off youre so ****" , "Jungler I asked for a gank **** you man you're worthless gg") I try to calm the chat the down because I've learned that internal fights lose you the game almost as easily as a fed team with actual objectives.

What inspired me to write this is my most recent game in which I was my teams jungler (reksai). Things were going good( we had more kills and had downed more turrets than the other team and we even had more drags than them too) until the trist on the other team and the orianna on my team (Both mid) started telling each other off and were both saying how they were just smurfs, trist was saying she was Gold 3 and ori was saying she was Plat 2. Ori was definetley winning the lane and we had the victory in the bag. We were winning every teamfight and I was doing very good ( Rampages, lots of assists, etc.). Then we slowly started losing the teamfights because Orianna was just so focused on the chat fight that was STILL going on like 40 minutes into the game. We ended up losing and I just put all my anger in these words. Did i forget to mention the Jinx we had with 20 deaths? Yes 20 deaths, our team had 40.

The point in writing all this was to tell my take of Bromze and just to try to inform others so they are aware of all this. I just want Bronze not to be such a stupid tier that actually rewards good players. I dont know how this would be done but I just want Riot to do something about this stuff. I hope many people feel the same way as I do.

P.S There are many good players in Bronze that are held back by the ones who can't change to the needs of the game, I wish you all luck
