Anyone else feel like they are less of a person because they can't climb higher than silver/bronze?

I know what i said isn't true but i can't help but feel that way, I'm honestly too garbage at this game because I can't do anything to climb. my CS is garbage my play-style is garbage and i just don't know what to do. I take fill a lot of the time and let others have my preferred role and in team fights i try to get them to focus the right people. a lot of the time the other team is very coordinated or my team doesn't try to end as soon as possible only to let a Yi or Vayne get fed and start 1-3 hitting my whole team. I'm not some leader who can use powerful speech to try to get my team to listen and at least work together. often times i go against people who are either really good or moderate in mistakes but remain very consistent, myself and my team just get stomped or beaten badly till we reach the inhibitor turrets and all i can do is ask them to just stall until we can get stronger to face the other team but when we do...someone either overstays or focuses the wrong type of person. I am too trash to carry or do anything that can 1v3 with normal champs like most higher tier players. I guess i can never reach gold or higher because I'm just bad or incredibly stupid and because of that i feel like I'm just someone without a purpose who can't do anything. does anyone else feel like this?[zombie-nunu-tears]

I'm only pissed at some teammates (well, at Riot actually) because fresh 30s get placed into my current elo,making it harder to climb.

I can carry actual silvers, but I can't carry a team with a fresh lvl 30 feeding his ass off due to getting placed way above his actual skill level.

I honestly know that kind of feel, to be honest i wish all level 30's starting ranked get put into bronze, but i think doing so would have big consequences. Sometimes i question the ranked system, is it really me? it's a team game based entirely on W/L and 1 person can't always have an outcome on his team.(a Master Tier player in a silver game was wrecking everyone on my team but we came back and his team threw and focused the wrong people/objs)

Chin up buddy, your sona and ramus seem to be consistent enough to net you positive win rates. Your kicking back at a 50% win rate in your division, so with a focus to improve your gonna see some ladder gains once you do. Its gonna be frustrating when you sling shot wins and losses but don't get to upset over it. The game should be fun for ya so if its a chore take a break from ranked. Your last 20 games have been pretty rough but your 7 day overviews not bad at all, Of the 7 champs listed your only 50% or under on Yas (50 50) and 44% for cho, everybody else is close to 70% or higher. Just a few hard streaks is all, focus on what you do well and expand on that.

No seriously hommie focus on finding what works for you and playing that more over the jack off all trades thing, First time I climbed outta silver I had to stop playing as fill. Hit gold doing Mid ziggs if I could get the role or support nami when I was lower on the pick order. Funny thing is in season 3 both of them where treated as low tier champs.

Good luck and don't get discouraged,

I don't think that can happen, I had a support MF who would steal cs and fed ezreal and veigar and riven would use ult when the enemy was 75-90% and waste ult also, and kindred fed veigar and ezreal also and soon after veig would q+w with E and i couldn't get out of circle always resulting in me dying which happened like 5 times because he could dive towers like ezreal, I think i'm just too garbage at league and i don't deserve to play it because i'm so trash i've been bronze for 4 damn seasons...there's nothing i can do. thanks for the kind words though.

Good Point, I tend to get focused down like crazy when i use him (yes people literally go out of their way to focus me i ranked) I don't know how to use annie properly, i don't know a place where i can fight gold or higher and learn how to counter certain champs with her

I'd suggest watching coaching sessions from high ranked players watching others replays.

Some of my favorite streamers to watch that do this are Neace and LS. They also upload them to youtube. If you look up annie coach league, they're at the top. You could look up other champs on their channels too if you're interested https://imgur.com/UuJjF6n

Who else would you recommend if annie is banned?

In norms yes but the other team is just trying out new champs and it's incredibly easy for me to beat them but when i play ranked, everyone is either good or really good and i try to improve my mechanics from there while trying to farm under tower while they suddenly are able to dive me at full health after getting just 2-3 kills from other lanes and i can't roam because team is pushed or doesn't ward second bush making it difficult to TP and help them so i just stay put trying to stack as much cs as possible and preparing for team-fights and objs

Everyone has to deal with the same obstructions to climbing, when it comes to less than stellar teammates or what have you. Get better and you'll start winning more games and climbing, like the rest of us.

Feeling like less of a person because you can't climb is pointless. If you don't like something, change it.

easier said than done, i've been bronze for 4 seasons, 1 person can't always make an impact, just like me who's really bad

bronze is the best division to be in, i don't see why any rational person would want to leave.

constantly battling on the streets for honour.

Honestly there's not always a good reason to pursue higher rank in League. I play ranked mostly, but I shouldn't. I'm a filthy casual and should probably stick to normal and special maps. Maybe you should too.

I just want the gold rewards, nothing else
