What Makes you Bronze

Hello my current rank is Silver 1 and I myself do not think I am good at the game. I'm not here to brag about being a little better than bronze, I have talked with a lot of bronze players. Some bronze 1 and some bronze 5 and also in between. I asked about 5-10 questions it varied by what I heard. I didn't what the cookie cutter answer "my team holds me back". i wanted diversity, because we know there is more than just a team that makes a great player. I myself intentionally placed bronze 4 for 2 seasons to see what it was like (wish i had gotten bronze 5 to get down there) I saw the good the bad and the ugly, but every time I managed to get out in under 50 or so games this was done on many accounts because I needed an array of outcomes. This was to see what it was like and how much mmr played such an important role in the teams you get, I would get teams that played better than their rank and teams that fought to the last second of the ff vote. I want to keep this open because i still want to know what makes people bronze what keeps them from climbing to their rank. Because, A youtube video wont get you out of bronze they wont show you in-depth what it is that gives them success, I will be adding on to this.

The lack of willingness to play with/around team/champion strengths and weaknesses.

Inability to adapt to losing lane, and only wins lane by jungle ganks.... often times is neutral and does not farm well.

Lack of knowledge of champs and what they do and where their power spikes are.

Getting way too upset over the smallest things like if an ally gets outplayed, so they start to flame and then troll with the commentary of "stay bronze. You dont deserve to win."

They often keep trying to prove themselves because there is such a stigma around that rank, so they will often compensate by playing overagressively (just an assumption with this one, but they do often play WAY too overaggressively).

They never take time to learn from their mistakes. Constantly lashing out with, "That's bullshit!", "Riot needs to...", "I wish Riot should hotfix...", "You see, this is why I like HotS more...", "I'm only bronze because my team keeps feeding.", "I'm only bronze because of trolls."

They never, ever, ever, acknowledge themselves.

About the "my team holding me back" awnser, my views on it is some of it is my fault and I could've done so much more and the rest is my team when I get ahead but then my temamates feed. If I made it to b1 100 lp, that is an indication that I should be silver and I have but it's elo hell.
