trying to climb low elo is pointless

hi, bronze 3 player here. I've listened to every guide, to every youtuber to everything about getting out of bronze. i've played hundreds of games, and i cant climb. Now im gonna go into the stereotypical "I CARRY BUT MY TEAMS ALWAYS FEED" but stereotypes exist for a reason. I see people who are perfect at everything, csing lane matchups game knowledge mechanics, and then there are others who cant even farm correctly. It feels pointless to try and climb, i almost have no interest in trying anymore. Its so infuriating trying to climb then getting people who don't even try and scream "ITS JUST A GAME BRO" its a game i want to enjoy, and to enjoy it i have to not have everyone feeding at 5 mins. I don't expect a fix, after all this is problems to do with the player not riot. But these people really stop the people that want to get to higher elos from climbing, maybe if there was a lower division than bronze. I dont know it seems like most of these people haven't learned anything from playing from level 1 to 30

No you don't. If they were, they wouldn't be in bronze.

Your CS is generally low for the timeframes you're finishing games in.

There's an improvement point.

Stop looking for kills as much and look to deny resources more when you're jungling. Make something out of the kills. Take objectives after. Getting kills and doing nothing with it is little more than a wave of creeps.

There's another.

If you kill the enemy jungler or force him/her to back, take their jungle in the quadrant you're in before backing or going to your own jungle.

It doesn't matter how many kills you get if you aren't closing out the game.

dont play hundreds.

focus on each game and ask yourself "what is the best way to win this game"

usually its score a pick on a carry. but in bronze its 95% just giving yourself a gold lead, and thats directly tied in with last hitting minions.

the other 5% is hero selection. bam, already out of bronze. make sure the team has some type of initiation/front line. make sure it has enough damage or the capacity to set someone up to just whale on the enemy carry.

I'm in bronze 4 and winning a fair amount. Literally just get powerpicks and make good decisions. Carrying is also easy, just play champs with lots of roaming potential like Alistar, Kassadin, Talon, Sion, Twisted Fate, etc. I've secured my midlane so many free kills by just pressing R and Q on Sion. If you're stuck you probably belong there honestly, look at what you can improve, microplay goes a long way and may be your ticket out.

Yeah they really need to find away to separate the serial feeders into a lower division...

Anyway you can climb fairly consistently if you are duo queue with both duo lane or one jungle and one lane.
