Get an easy carry champ that your good at. MasterYi Volibear Malzahar Warwick Fizz Garen Akali Jax /mute all to avoid getting tilted by your teams comments or enemiesb being salty. Play when you're in a good mood, if you lose a game and you feel angry take a break or play something else. Dont ban depending on annoyance ban depending on how hard a champ can carry, hence the champs i listed up there.

Duo queuing is really the best way to get out of bronze. Your partner doesn't have to be a plat smurf or anything, just someone who's decent enough, and is perhaps in the same situation i.e regularly getting four teammates that don't know how to tie their shoes.

My theroy is this:

Mid and Jungle are carry lanes. Bot is a total crap shoot based on skill and jungle camping. Therefore, you should assume 2 things:

  1. Bad players subconsciously know they aren't great and will defer to roles not capable of carrying in this meta (bot)

  2. You should Top.

You should top based on the assumption above which won't be correct every time, but should be correct most of the time. By taking top, you've done a few things

  • put the swing role in your own hands. Learn counters and build strats
  • you've reduced the variables. If the jungle sees you're not falling prey to ganks or stupid dives then he can focus on other lanes.
  • few top lanes truely roam. By playing top, you can change that.

I think the thing that matters in Bronze the most is this:

Getting a kill isn't worth living. So all player should be overly cautious. If someone get's away with 1 HP, that's not a kill you missed, it's a trap you dodged. Secondly, the less resources you take away from your jungler/mid, the more you're on the path to winning.

In short:

A. Don't feed the enemy B. Towers matter more than kills C. Handle your own business and let the carries deal with the deadweight without having to worry about you. I genuinely believe the less help top needs, the higher the change you can win will be.

Create a gold advantage over the enemy team. Die less, take towers early, cs well.

Okay I know this is going to sound super corny in all.. but in low elo... you really need to suck some D....

It's a figure of speach to just... roll over the play to their will..

Someone not grouping? Well stop what your doing and follow them. Praise people even though what they do is super Squiddy.. Ask them if they're a smurf.. make them feel good... because you don't help yourself when you put people down, you make them preform worse...

The thing about league is... you need them a lot more than they need you. It's all a big mind game.


You still need to concentrate on self-improvements as well but other than that if they don't listen you need to drop a bit of that ego and go with it..

Low ELO, don't try to play mindgames or anything: Until you get to a least Gold, your main focus should be beating the enemy team to death with your massive stat stick.

what do mean mindgames?

Teeana1 votes

WHHHHAT?! it's the perfect place to play mind games!

people on edge down here...

Me and a friend were against a team with a Garen who was struggling... and we said in all chat.. "Don't know what Garen is doing.. Sorry about that.."

THEY TURNED SOOO HARD ON THEIR GAREN!! THEY FLAMED HIM THE ENTIRE GAME! That one little itty bitty tick tack comment.. EXPLODED IN THEIR MINDS... We legit NINJA'D their brains to win us the game...

it also happened when an enemy team had a good Yi.... who was 4/0... but after one failed gank botlane.. I said "good call on the tower dive.. Don't know how you though that would work out..." THE BOTLANE EXPLODED ON THEIR JUNGLER. which make yi fall off hard.... who went from 4/0 to 4/5 quickly...

I know that sounds like an Ass move but.. hey... it worked...

Camp one motherfucker. Camp the your winning lane. The more they snowball, the better.

In every game, find one player who is "okay" at the game, friend them and play the next game with them -> repeat

How to win low elo.

Method 1. Play mid, get a champion that can snowball and get out of control. Method 2. Play top, get a split pushing champion and get all the way to the nexus. Method 3. Play JG. Get an early champion and do a gankfest until everyone is fed. Method 3.5. Play JG. Get a tank and pray you have at least a carry that now what he/she is doing and provide enough cover for him/her Method 4. Play Support. Get a kill dependant support and gamble, you either stomp your lane and get your carry super fed or you lose miserably and you move to the next game. method 5. Play ADC... honestly this is the hardest by far, avoid Teamfight and go for a late game carry, go for splitpush and pray that your team know how to defend

Here is my strategy. I play mainly adc and support. I encourage my team to get turrets over kills, becuase that will help them to move faster through the map. I realized that no matter how many kills an individual opponent or a teammate may have, if the whole team doesn't progress you will see your nexus destroyed. Now I know that Bronze is tough becuase everyone is either trolling or really bad, or doesn't care. Here is what you need to do. You need to find someone to play duo queue with you and you need to always be consistent with focusing on the map. Back in season 4 I played 1v1 against a Plat player when I was unranked. I actually won because I had a better use of mechanics. This can be one of many proofs to show that Bronze can beat diamond players. However Bronze players will often have much less game sense than a player of high elo. People in top ranks will work as a team and know their objectives. Even if you have a team of decent players, who don't work together and know their priorities, you will probably have a 10-20% win rate. I realised that, not long time ago. Before I was Silver, and being placed in Bronze 4 is kind of humiliating but at least you will often find humble teammates who don't trash talk. You need to show leadership just like in any other sport. When you team makes tiny mistakes like misses skillshots or doesn't get perfect items, don't say anything. When they die often and loose fights, try to find actual mistakes and tell them about it, nicely. Also watch your replays where you think you need imporvement and practice your cs. These helped me a lot. Btw you can play duo with me if you want, because I would rather have fun with serious players, and not trolls. Good luck man.
