its sad that there are people who just don't give a shit..."you can quit","dont play"... if could do that then he wouldn't've been her now would he.I definitely think that this game is hard and there is a lot of things to keep thinking about while in game,your map,ward a lot where it matters (something that I don't have the time to learn,because midterm exams),their health,minion health...based on that you go in and harass making him go back and letting you farm peacefully while he doesn't get shit.This is why high elo players climb like crazy,but in lower elos its just about carrying.NOW…. YOU CANT CARRY PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN'T PLAY RANKED OKAY?
I was playing with my friend he was support in low gold high silver(2 bronze players duoing with him btw nice matchmaking)and his adc didn't even kite,he wasn't able to do it.So in a way the only problem in low elo is that there are people who shouldn't play ranked or get better.
To be honest in higher elos would be much better since its all about skill and abusing overpowered champions and even then you have to be better than the enemy to win.You must be better than your enemies that's the secret to winning games.Thinking that you lose only because of your team is just a narrow minded accusation.If you were better than them then why didn't you win.And btw you don't need mechanical skill in this game,you just gotta be smart.
There are 2 types of players in this game:people who have really good mechanics (microplay) and people who focus on objectives and are smart(mAcroplay)
You can win easily as a macro player since you keep getting ahead by stealing enemy jungle,taking drakes,heralds,barons and kill the enemy jungler in their jungle.
If you want to get better you need to look at the high elo players,look what they do,then try doing what you don't from what they do and you'll figure it eventually.A way to get worse is to keep believing that your team also holds back and champions are overpowered when they just require the skill you don't have.Katarina and Riven are good examples.
Its all about how much effort and hearth you are willing to put into learning how to play this game.
Sorry for reviving this year old thread but I felt like I should give my opinion on this subject.
