Ranked in General

So I am just confused. How are you supposed to get any better at the game if every game almost, either has someone trolling, or leaving. I'm so serious. How am i expected to be a good sport, and or remain un toxic if I am not even given a fighting chance. I have went from Silver promo, to now almost bronze 3. Im not very good. Never claimed to be. However, i am not being given the chance to become better, because 1/10 games are actual normal games. Its very frustrating to try and play this game when so many people use it to troll. Then i can get banned for saying something to the trolls? Its very counter intuitive. Just looking for some feedback i guess, im so sick of people fighting each other and arguing or AFKing. IDK, i want to get better at this game but honestly it feels like i waste my time every time i log on.

Hey man. I actually just climbed out of silver 4 to gold in the last week. It was all from using the same strategy I use to get out of bronze. I've been placed bronze, 4 seasons in a row, and carried myself out solo queue 4 seasons in a row, hitting gold last season and this season. I'm going to post my video here of the guide I made on what works for me in hopes that it helps you out. Feel free to watch or ignore.

Hey I just watched your video, because I am always interested on how others rank up. I have to say I've been doing everything in your video since last year and I'm still in bronze. It's awful hard to focus objectives if while jg all 3 lanes are getting smashed and you are getting double or triple teamed in your own jg. I am highly confident with the characters I play and my personal stats show it, but no go. Sadly, I have to disagree with you. You must have got on a lucky streak. There are tons of great players in low elo that do not belong there, cause the match making/ranking system is broken.

My bronze friend told me the same thing last week. "You're only silver because you got lucky."

So the last 4 days I've busted my ass and climbed to gold.

Stop saying people are lucky when they rank up. Thats a bronze mentality. Stop saying the ranking system is broken, thats a bronze mentality. The problem lies in your attitude. I don't know how your skill is, but if you claim luck and broken every time you lose, then thats the main reason you're bronze. Good luck climbing.

I wasn't trying to offend, was just pointing out reality. It looks like you have a bit of an attitude yourself. Glad the Riot gods shined on you. FYI lots of people work hard like you and aren't rewarded.

Is this your first ranked season? If so ignore your starter rank, it is a lie.

Play in flex, add good players and make group queues. It is much more fun.

What's your definition of "trolling"? I mean, it happens, but it's not very common in my experience. Are you lumping in simply bad players as "trolls"? Because that'll happen in Bronze. But hey, at least it'll happen roughly as often on the other side of the river, so your LP should even out...

The truth is, you're not suppose to get any better. The match making and ranking system is broken. Riot set it up that way on purpose to keep the good players playing with the bad players. I don't think they are interested in changing it to be more fair. I've been playing for over a year almost every day multiple games, and have had the same success as you. I started a post with an idea of changing the system to be more fair, you should read it here: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/XeZ8FJmA-lets-get-ranked-based-on-individual-grade-in-game. Let me know if you agree. But ya, it's not fair. I've outplayed silver players as a bronze player (on custom 1v1 matches), but have been stuck in bronze since I've started.

The game isnt 1v1. Its a team game. I can tell from your attitude to these posts the reason youre bronze. You think you deserve higher, and fail to recognize your own mistakes. You think your team is trolling, or the enemy is getting lucky. I used to say the ranked system was broken when i was bronze, until I accepted the fact I was right where i belong, bldue to my attitude. As soon as I started focusing on myself, objectives, and what I could do better, I started climbing rapidly. It isnt luck Ive climbed from bronze to gold 4 seasons in a row. Get off your high horse, recognize its your fault, and improve.

I'm glad you know everything. You remind me of those arrogant people that are unreasonable to play with. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just stating the reality that lots of people deal with. Glad you made it. Good for you.
