Ranked in silver and the thirst that comes with it( rant/Advice please?)

Okay so, I'm a silver 3 jungle Sion Main (Which i know isn't ideal but its been working 9/10 games) and I've noticed a major pattern among my teamates almost every loss that I can not comprehend to save my life. Why would you continue to 1v1 if you died 2 minutes in and are 2 levels down? or not have vision but still aggro past the jungle bushes when you know they have a roaming mid or top. I'm not perfect by any means but the amount of times I've been getting my first clears and the score is 0-5 or worse is getting ridiculous. Is there any reason that people dont know how to play safe, Or not go in 1v5 at end game trying to be the hero of the team only to lose the game for it.

Are there any junglers who can gank pre 3 with some consistence besides ezreal to prevent this? On another note, Why is it the higher i rank up, the worse my teams champ picks get there is a list of champs that i have never seen perform well on my team and its often after they hovered a much stronger champ all champ select ( Once again I play sion jungle so i know my pick isn't wonderful but at least its consistent).

Lee sin, xin zao, and jarvan can all gank early and snowball. But I feel you. I don't win lane every time, but at least I just farm safely the rest of the lane phase. I don't get how bot lane can 0/7 within 10 mins so often.

I have the same complaint with Bronze/Silver. There needs to be a flag set to non-support players that die that fast and continue to feed hard early. I frequently see randoms start 0-5, or lose matchup by double/triple CS, or lose 2 turrets way too soon. There needs to be a mechanism in the stats that somehow flags catastrophic performances that throw games, and quarantine that in Bronze V, so the rest of us can retain our sanity as we try to find fair games.

in bronze/silver/gold and even somewhat plat you should be capable of solo winning games. its not your teams fault when the amount that you can improve by is gigantic. learning Cheese is not the solution. learning the to play the game properly is.

Learn to ward properly, give your team as much information as possible learn enemy jungle routes learn to play objectives properly there are hundreds of gameplay and tutorial videos online that can help you with almost any aspect of the game its up to you if you actually wanna put in the time to get better. These cheese strats also have a tendency of back firing because if you level 2 gank and fail its pretty much gg.

By just being a better mechanical player alone you can easily climb the ladder but if you don't learn the game you're gonna hit a point where you can gain leads and still have a high % of throwing the game
