Getting out of bronze 5 in season 6

Im a Brush··1 votes·645 views

Just wanted to know if getting out of bronze 5 was actually possible. I keep trying but every time I try, I drop because of a salty teammate feeding his ass off, facing 5 premade. You know, it's very hard to get good teammates in bronze. The last time I played with a diamond player was in coop vs ai. Please someone help me and give me some advice.

No offense, but anyone in bronze 5 deserves to be there

Not really if you consider that some like me try so hard to get out

So, controversial but big problem I feel league has. Newer or lower tier players who are stuck in bronze 5 that want to get out are about the same as players who are trolling their asses off in solo queue in the exact same setting. If doublelift grabbed your keyboard and mouse, he could climb outta there easily. If a gold/plat player did it, they could also climb out. The issue, and why I wouldn't blame you, perse, is that being in bronze 5 doesn't really teach you how to evolve past bronze 5. For me personally, any sort of evolution in league comes fro man immense amount of study combines with playing the game. And I learn a ton form opponents who are better than me, but in bronze elo you tend to meet a lot of players who simply aren't better than you. When they win, it's usually done with bad habits that wouldn't work out against better players, so it's not like you can really learn from what they're doing.

What makes this harder, is that educational content surrounding this game is a gigantic time sink, and is scattered across the internet in places that are hard to find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iko2tqmDpJQ&list=PL9RdXhXESRJzgY_SwHB8T-cZxXljWhQvz This playlist will teach you a lot of diamond + concepts, and if you adopt them, you'll improve a lot. The creator has a generalist guide about all roles and positions, and you should take in all of this knowledge if you want to climb because even if you don't play jungle, for instance, you -do- need to know how the jungler thinks to play to a higher level. Same goes for laning tips if you are a jungler. Google summoner school for the reddit on that, and don't be afraid to log in and ask questions. The summoner school community is a lot more friendly than the traditional league reddit.

The last thing I have to say is, accept that you are probably complete ass at this game, and don't be too proud to take in knowledge from your betters. I'm complete ass at this game myself, but I want to be better. If you're in bronze 5, I guarantee you deserve to be there. But if you want to climb, I wouldn't put it past you to do so. In fact, if you truly want to and you take in all the knowledge you need, then I'd expect it.

I started this season in Bronze 5. 112 games later and i found my self in Silver 4. Not to hard to climb out. You just need to work on your self and not worry about someone else feeding.

I used to be like this at the beginning of the season. .. now im silver 5 :) so all u gotta do is focus on getting better and remember to prioritize objectives (dont care about ur kda) ur mechanics and only play a few champs. Anyway gl and dont forget to have fun ;D

Too hard for me to actually get into bronze. Have multiple accounts and tried alot but even if I lose or feed or whatever at worst, I land in silver. Will try on this account to get into bronze.

B5 is legitimately worse than bots. If you find yourself unable to compete in Bronze 5, then you should probably work on bots more. There's no shame in practicing in bots, regardless of what the egotistical community likes to tell you. I tanked my placements, got in B4 and then proceeded to legitimately destroy every single game up until B2 when I lost my first game. I'm the average Silver MMR player and I feel like Bronze 5 is literally just a completely different game.

Something that I've also had to learn the hard was is: If you play to win, you won't.

You have to play to be better. There's always something from every game that you can take away as a "I fucked up. I shouldn't have done that". Even if you're going total ape-shit and instapopping people because you're 28-0, there's no reason to get upset for 2 reasons:

  1. There's always some mistake you made that you can get better on next time.
  2. If you play at that level consistently, you'll climb regardless.

Stop getting overly competitive. Until you're in plat, there's no reason to be competitive about the game. Just take the loss, learn a lesson and move on.

You are so motivating to read. What I learned is that I need to play like I want to be the very best that no one ever was and that there is always a lesson to learn every time you die, lose a game or fail your promos. You have to continue to try until you reach your gold and never ever stop trying. Also, when I play adc, I always need my support to get through the early game. If he doesn't, I get behind start feeding. Sometimes I even get my first kill 30 minutes into the game.

i have gone down to bronze 4 with 0 lp before, but i never in my life been in bronze 5. but the current intermediate bots are better than most silver players i face so.. if i can beat those.. you should easily be able to climb out of bronze 5

because at that level.. you legitly can 1v5 on most champs

Oh ! I forgot to mention feeders, trollers , afk , salty one trick poney (I'm looking at you Riven ) and throwers.

I've noticed your cs is always low, and you usually go negative or even as adc. Adc should always have a positive kda and above 200 cs by 25 minutes. Don't focus on those super bad teammates and focus on what you can improve on, and you will climb. Teammates can cost some games, but not a elo. If you consistently play well, you will climb.

It's not about getting good teammates. It's about improving every single game and not tilting over small things. I was in Silver for months until I climbed to Diamond eventually.
