Well last season I got S4. I gave up after 10 straight games with an afk'er on my team (i was at s3 from s5). I was moving up really quick but the continuous trolls and afk's just made it more frustrating because in ranked winning matters. I never feed. Lately I've been playing akali to help me carry out of B1 (even though i won 7/10 of placements but whatever). I will win my lane and roam like no tomorrow. So bot lane is feeding so I go help them out 90% of the time it;s a successful roam. I or my adc get a double kill. But...the feeding still continues. So by now I'm living in top or bot lane pretty much and I'm fed. But when you have 1 fed assassin vs 2 fed players (usually their jungler or adc) I can't do a 5v1. I try to encourage my teammates to stay positive and give them help full instructions on positioning and who to focus etc. etc. So here comes team fights. I do my job I one shot adc and try to get their apc. But by then my whole team was just nuked and I'm alone running for my life to safety. I'm not trying to be a whiny bitch but I feel like even helping out my teammates and giving them kills does nothing. I mean i dont know what to do guys. I mean I want to continue ranked so I can move up and better myself as a player but matching me with utter retards gets me no where. I get it most bronzies are bad. Pretty much I just have to hope the other lanes are dumber than my teams lanes. If roaming and giving them kills to get ahead does nothing wtf am I supposed to do. No one wants to listen for instructions and walk into 3v1's like nothing. But they don't listen. I know I'm not Diamond worthy or anything like that but I just need advice though. I get into promos for s5 won 2 in a row and smashing like hell. But then my luck gets me with people who have never played a certain role, feed, troll, afk. If only I had a chance to play with higher ranked people to show I'm not so terrible I may have a chance but it can't. So GG rito or nah?

but you ARE so terrible because you are in bronze ;D lol, enough with the jokes.

the ranking system will eventually place you near (yes, NEAR) the division you belong in. this may vary by about five divisions, so if you are the skill of a silver 1 player, you might be stuck in bronze 1 or even get lucky to get into gold 1 without being skilled enough for it. this means, you KINDA belong where you are right now.

also, say you are bronze. you are probably SO BAD at the game that you dont even see 10% of the mistakes you make while a diamond player like me would notice the horribleness of your play. your decisionmaking, your positioning, your build, your map awareness, your mechanics. all really bad. this also means that your judgement about the mistakes YOU make and the mistakes YOUR ALLIES make is very clouded and not accurate at all. in fact, you CANT SEE weither you are better than them or not. (in general, sure in a few cases it might hold true)

dont worry tho, this effect stays the same regardless of which elo you play in. if a challenger player watches me play, he would think i suck too and i also think im way too good for my elo. its because my vision is limited and i only see the mistakes and good plays that my skill allows me to see. when my allies make a good play or dont follow me into a fight and im like OMG FUCKING NOOBS then it was probably because their map awareness prevented them from suiciding like the idiot that was me.

dont worry, it DOES NOT STOP in challenger. even up there (as i said, your rank can vary about 5 divisions from where you belong) you find many GOOD challenger players and many that suck for they should not have lucked themselves upwards from diamond 3 and some that should be placed in an even higher division than challenger. there are always discrepancies of skill and you never or barely ever get matched with 9 people of your skill. this means, and you can easily get proof of it by watching challenger players play, that even in challenger you will find a feeder almost every game who goes 0/5 against this riven but luckily his botlane stomped their 10:0 so its fine. happens all the time even tho you would expect that in challenger, people can actually accept when their lane is lost and stop dying. but no, they just feed on a higher level.

the ONLY thing i believe gets a bit better past diamond 2 is the behaviour of people. but thats really just speculation as i have not been past diamond 2 yet.

Silver is frustrating as all hell. Last season I resorted to spamming Xerath to get gold, but I don't want to cheat this year.
