Let's make a hypothetical situation , ok ? Let's say that , you are playing Xin Zhao jungle .... because is just xin , and it don't require any skill , anyways , let's say that you manage to get first blood , then proceed to have 2 successful ganks giving a kill to your fiora and get one kill yourself on the bot lane.

Then , hypothetically speaking , your jax top literally RUNS DOWN TOP, and manages to die 7 times in less than 8 minutes. Let's also say , that in the meanwhile you managed to do another good gank on bot , and get a drake afther that. things look up. They would , if your amazing , and clearly working new meta maker- fiora mid didn't manage to trow the lead she had , going 1/6 , and while you try to help her out your bot lane also dies trying to dive , then die again and again ,allways almost under the enemy turrent , proceding to go 1/8/3 and 3/5/1 (whitout the opponent jungle intervention, may i say). Then the overfed teemo top , afther getting 13 kills from the inter jax , decides to go mid and force a teamfight , and your team decides to jump on them , getting completely demolished , 2 kills for 5.

Now , in this hypothetical situation , that clearly never happned during my adventures in bronze 2 , what could i have done to turn that game around and eventualy win it ?

Look , i know i ain't faker. I suck at this game. Completely. But i learned to assume my part of the fault in the loses , and try to improve what i didn't do well. But in this kind of games i just can't force myself to take the blame for the lost , and i also feel like there wasn't annything that i could have done to win that. I want someone to correct me if i am wrong.

Some games are unwinnable. That one was probably winnable but you can't expect yourself to be a god out of nowhere. Just move on.

Not every game is winnable alone. You did your best, learn from what mistakes you might have made, and move on. You will win games you feed in and lose games you're fed in. Such as life.

Rito wants league to be a team game. Basically you farm and hope the enemy team is stupid enough to throw because odds are unless you get a gigantic level lead / gold lead and can take the towers / objectives by yourself before the enemy scales to oblivion it's going to be a loss.

It's pretty normal down here in plastic to give lanes a giant lead with ganks only to have them lose the lane still with a item, summoner spell, and gold advantage.

You can try to pick things like Sejuani Amumu Maokai Galio Sion to jungle with since bronze / silver / low gold is mostly mindless aram 5 v 5 to win (Pick comp = loss generally since low elo is all about 5 v 5, Poke = Loss someone will always engage before you've poked enough to kill, Splitpush = everyone will not ward and will get caught for a loss, Protect the Carry = dream comp for bronze / silver just 5 v 5 and don't let the adc / mid get gibbed, Engage comp = Mixed results it basically depends on how brain dead the assassins / divers are).

A fun team to get in bronze is something like

Top: Malphite Mid: Annie Jng: Amumu Sup: Sona Adc: MissFortune

Basically as long as at least one of you hits a multi stun mf can just shred them with her ult from relative safety. Not to mention they're all easy champions to pickup and do decent on.

A comp you probably want to dodge in champ select on in bronze is something like Top: Yasuo Mid: Zyra Jng: Jax Sup: Janna Bot: Varus

It's basically made for a 1 3 1 where the 3 can get a pick from Zyra / Varus or disengage with Janna while Jax and Yasuo just split which requires more thinking and awareness than we have down here.

Another fun one to get in bronze

Top: Fiora Mid: Zed Jng: Khazix Sup: Soraka Adc: Vayne

Did you dodge yet?

If you can't get out of bronze - you deserve it. I got put in bronze when the Flex disaster happened, got back in gold in a very short time frame.

BUT. If somebody dies 7 times in 8 minutes - the game is usually over by then. Especially if the enemy top is:

Pantheon Camille Riven and I don't solo these champions out because I dislike them, I'm pretty neutral towards them, but in most cases - they will tower dive and just kill everybody without having to make sacrifices. 7 Kills is a MASSIVE lead, especially with the new update - snowballing has only increased with the AD Buffs that have been implemented to lethality.

Still though - if you're truly in bronze, don't take it too seriously. It's like training grounds before you get people telling you to kill yourself.

Though if I were in that situation, I'd be playing a hypercarry or somebody that can kill a ton without large windows of weaknesses - hunt down the weaker targets to the point that you can contest the stronger targets, then begin killing everybody.

EDIT Oh yeah, I fucking hate Camille by the way. Fuck that champion. I'm not neutral towards that whore.
