returning after a break

and im already realizing why i took the break. Three games in a row i was doomed by players who got autofilled and threw a temper tantrum. How do you all deal with this. Im currently waiting on a 20 minute dodge queue because the support declared he was going nasus top after i made my top pick and he just kept insulting me. I dont understand how to actually climb, i feel as though thats the dream forced on the community but is majorly luck based. I do strongly feel that after years of playing and practice and watching esports and streamers that im better than a bronze 5 player but somehow every single time i play i fall to bronze 5. I really want to give this game one final shot before i uninstall it for good so please give me any tips to help deal with immature players like that.

First, let's talk about YOUR play.

You haven't ranked played since Season 6 and (to be honest) a lot has changed. The first thing you need to do is get situated with the current state of the game (though LCS will have definitely helped with this to a degree). The next thing you need to do is follow the same advice I gave this guy so that you don't end this season with over 50 unique champs played.

Secondly there's a very simple solution to handle the toxicity of the community - the fullmute button. Does it screw up communication? Yes. Does that matter in Bronze 5 where players are so bad at the game that anything can happen (including your ability to 1v9 if you're decent)? No. Mute them all, ignore them in champ select & remember that since you're in Bronze that every game is winnable as long as you main a few champs and consistency look to improve. Ignore, play, improve.

Hmm. This is a difficult one tbh. If you're getting a ton of trolls in your game and you're stuck in B5, start a new account. Bronze has the trolliest players. Or if you want to avoid the MAJORITY of auto fill players, main support. Not a ton of options to help you with. Bronze supports aren't great, mostly because a ton of then are autofilled. Main support and get really good at it. Play carry supports like Brand.
