Tauren Jesus··1 votes·365 views

Greetings! Recently with me playing awful promos with afk'ers and feeders, I was unfortunatly placed in bronze II as a result, which I thought I could possibly carry myself out of. I was silver II in S5 and I beileved I can get out of Bronze in no time. However I played more and more games with people who went afk, and people who fed, and my LP and division kept getting lower and lower. I tried queueing with multiple people but it was almost always the person who did not queue with us is the reason we lost. My question is, Why must I derank because of other peoples lack of stable internet or skill? I understand I am in bronze for a reason, and I want to get better at the game at a higher skill level, but I Don't see any way I myself could have played differently to change the outcome of most of my matches. Now my ratings w/l ratio is shit and It seems like I cant do anything about it. My question to you people of the league of legends forumers is how can I carry myself out of bronze or should I just give up now?

Yeah, unfortunately there's not much you can do about afks besides having 5 man or just turtling it out with the hope that the afk will return. If you get more than one afk in one day, you should probably take a break for the day. I've noticed that sometimes there are just really unlucky days for afk.

Looks like just an unlucky losing streak. I went from B1 to B3 in a few days from a bad streak but now I'm up to S5.

You just have to accept the loss of it's an afk. A feeder is basically your responsibility to learn to carry that scrub. I'm also bronze and my experience which yoy can look on my match history if you wanna see that I lose every game I do poorly in. I almost never get carried, and almost every game I win it's because I did well enough to carry.

I don't know what kind of champions you like to play but I suggest playing to your style regardless of the lane you get. being in bronze is rarely about team comp it's about playing to your strengths and taking advantages from your opponent when they make a bad move which we eventually all do.

If your opponent flashes to try to kill you and burns ignite in the process and gets nothing. You sure as hell better ping your jungler,buy some wards, freeze the lane and push that fool out of all the cs. Kills don't matter if you learn to cs, a Leblanc could waste all game killing bot but if you're ahead 200 cs she's not gonna be able to kill you
