How to climb elo

Cosmochris··1 votes·492 views

So I feel like I'm in an unusual spot with my mmr where I am high enough to be playing against other gold 3-4 players but i get teamed up with silvers. I am an adc main so carrying is not an option as adc's are heavily team reliant and i can play other roles too but I cant do anything in game either because my team is incredibly behind or they arent playing team player champions, not that i dont mind its just at least do a job of actually try to help other teams. My biggest issue with my elo (or I dont know what it is) is that my teammates refuse to help bot lane or just help at all Pretty much I want to climb out of this elo but with my elo being like this, no matter how good I am as a player, both solo and team oriented, I can't get my team to cooperate at all. This is pretty much the case within every game I have played Gold. I've been watching streamers climb and I can say plat-diamond elo looks easier and worse than Gold, which confuses me sometime. Does this get worse the higher you climb? So thats my struggle and was wondering how some of you guys climbed the elo ladder.

Focus on yourself and what YOU do wrong and miss. There's not a definite answer on how to climb. If you're good enough to be gold,you will be. Sure, bad teammates can cause you lose games, but not enough to make you lose a whole elo lower.

You die a lot and go negative most games. Also you usually end up in the 200 range for cs in 40 minute games, which is a little low

There are software issues that have nothing to do with the performance of the players on the field; specifically the rating system attempts to simulate expertise on top of the actual expertise of players, with disastrous results in terms of toxicity and preferential treatment.

I don't believe the current staff are psychologically capable of making necessary repairs, so without a change in personnel there isn't going to be a ranked experience for the bulk of people who came expecting it.
