PSA to Bronze

When you Ace the other team or kill a considerable amount of them, please do something with this advantage other than backing and buying. Too often my team Aces the other team and instead of taking that next turret, drag, or baron...they just back and piss the advantage away. Too oftn in Bronze your team is winning the kill game by like 10+ kills, but still easily lose the game because your teammates are WAY too concerned with their kda.

Bronzers = farm kills Higher elos = farm objectives.

See, this is why I play Sion, because even if my team doesn't want to do shit, I'm fucking Sion. I have Waveclear for days, and I have a zz'rot portal. Your Turret's ass is grass

Silly, that's not how you get objectives in Bronze.

When you want Baron you do it as a team of 4 while all 5 of the enemies are up and have vision.

Then you blame the person who just respawned at base for not being there to help and the reason as to why you guys wiped.

Always look at what objectives you can push when you get kills. Even one kill makes openings. Also, make sure you control your side lanes. Knowing how to set up a push can create openings as well

When this happens you ping an objective and take the initiative to do it yourself. Most of the time enough of the team will follow you, if it becomes obvious that they will not follow you, just forget it and hope you don't get aced during the next fight. My biggest frustration in lower Elo is when you clearly have a path towards taking an inhibitor and the team will instead go to baron or dragon. Well, that and fighting before our splitpusher draws enemy attention.

Honestly, this PSA should be directed at more than bronze, I have had plat players in my games making the same mistake.

Yeah, this is why I know I dont belong in bronze, but its why I have a hard time getting out.

I cant get my team to go objectives half the time, even if standing behind me and trying to kill steal me would be smart while I push turrets, my team wont do it.

Here is an example match, its not ranked... but its a clear example of a team refusing to close the match out.

Its like you said, we would get a kill on 3 of them... then instaed of helping me drive a lane... they would farm the jg, get a big group of minions, back and buy stuff. Just whatever to waste time and drag the match on long enough to throw it. Eventually 2 people started Baron, and 3rd joined in while they were all up, and against better judgment I stood guard, I didnt want to be in the baron pit when they attacked. They managed to wipe us out cause they jumped our ADC/Mid while I was trying to lock down Yi and Jax.

People backing CONSTANTLY to spend their gold to get a new toy are the biggest problem, just wasting time letting the enemy farm and get chances to catch back up. You have to start deciding if you want to finish off your item 3078 or you want to win, cause backing each time you have the gold for a component of it when its your 4th item is actually hurting your pressure, and making you more likely to lose.

Well that's the thing, some of us bronzies actually think like this (me being one of them) but the problem is I can't force a team full of idiots to do smart things like this. They'll just call me toxic and flame me the rest of the game..

I've seen games lost just because the team decided to Baron or Drag instead of bum rushing the open nexus turrets.

Not sure how I played adc and carried out of bronze in season 3. Tried playing adc on an alt account yesterday and got stomped. Now don't get me wrong.... i am not the best adc in the world but I have played it a time or two. I also had the most cs in lane, and in game. Problem is.... relying on a supp who doesn't know what he doing and on a team thinking their going to try and peel for you. So I guess after a few games I would say..

PSA: Unless your really really really only good at adc I would avoid it in bronze cuz f dat shiz.

or play Corki .

Dont get me wrong, you can carry yourself playing adc but its not worth the stress. Even playing just for "fun" and to relax by the end of the game I was stressed out. Play some jungle like Jax and have fun getting 20 kills and carrying while doing it.

On the other hand, when they're about to respawn and you're all still in their base at 30%, THEN you back and buy. And if you don't think your team knows this on their own, do some warn pings when the respawn timers hit 5 seconds or so.

And this is the problem I have with my teams, but no one listens to me.
