In all reality, Bronze is a killer. Those of "us" who have LIVED in Bronze, realize its very hard to get out of. I'm just curious if anyone has any tips or tactics to help a lad get out of the living Hell. :) Just lemme know!Katarina

well I got out in season 3 which was a different time.... in season 3 my suggestion would have been to make sure you help ward and if your support refuses to ward then do it for them at least a bit.... you would be amazed the difference wards made -_-

but other than that objectives are msot important... when your bottom lane kills the enemy or makes them have to go back and they are still near full.... take dragon.... learn jungle timers and if you get ganked when you know one will be spawning... ping your jungler and tell them...

basically jsut remember there are 2 ways to rise

  1. mechanical skill

  2. game knowledge

if you can't seem to outplay people... learn to outbuild them, out strategy them, and just win even when you lose

Practice well and play well. Keep in mind this whole thing is a team based game. To win you must not only do well yourself but make sure your team does as well. This means winning your lane, calling out mias from anywhere that isn't being called, warding constantly, doing anything in your power to make sure your teammattes play their best. It won't work everytime but if you can lead a bronze team to victory once you get more and more competent people you will do exponentially better as well.

Play a carry champ Annie or ryze or kassadin in mid and get your team fed along with yourself

It's simple, really. Play better. Not your team, you. Trust me when I tell you that it is a lot easier than it sounds!

First and foremost, you have to realize that despite how seriously you take it, League of Legends is just a game. It's not the end of your League career much less the world if you lose a game or two. You can play a perfect game and still lose--so it's clear that the two do not always imply each other.

That being said, do not aim to win the game, but to play well. Know the strengths and weakness of your champion as well as those around you(your team and enemies.) For an easy example of this, if you're Yasuo you can use the knock-up created by anything for your ultimate. If you have someone like Orianna or Blitzcrank on your team, you can easily go in for the back-line squishies without relying on your q--or perhaps you can save your q to knock-up any runaways.

That would be game knowledge. A good champ to practice your game knowledge on as opposed to mechanical skill is Katarina because she requires none of the latter and plenty of the former. You should also improve your mechanical skill by practicing your skill shots and combos. Ezreal is a champion that is all skill-shots so he makes some nice practice for that particular issue. Apart from that, you'd have to learn the mechanical skills for each champion. This is essentially learning how to farm safely and effectively while maximizing your tradeoffs with the enemy. You could know exactly every button to push, but when it comes down to it, things are a lot more intimidating--variables that you didn't account for arise. You have to adapt.

And that is the single most important piece of advice. Adapt. There is no one build to kill all or one way to use your combos. If as an ADC you are fighting someone with a lot of CC, build a item 3139 or an item with tenacity. If you are TwistedFate mid and fighting a Galio roll out an AD build to counter his passive. You'll either force him to buy more armor than he needs(and thus he loses out on AP) or shred him.

TL;DR: Improve game knowledge and mechanical skill. Both are essential. Without the second, you can do nothing with the first... and without the first, you can do nothing with the second. Adapt. One key won't open every door, sometimes you gotta try a different one.

it will never happen i have gotten out of it, then forced right back into it with 2 loses in a row. I also get just 2 points for a win.. and lose 5 or 6 on a lose

You just need to find that right champion and or position. I was bronze 1 in September and now i'm gold 5. Sadly i didn't get the gold rewards because I got gold after the deadline. Draven

The fastest way to get out is to duo with someone.

What Sir ArmaMalum and vasheenomed said, and make good calls about strategy. For example, whether to take baron, chase an enemy champion, or take turret. Also decide on whether to go as 5 or let some of your team split.

Also keep in mind, don't get mad because that's just gonna make your team mad too and then you guys will lose. After all, it's just a game too. Try to lead your team in a polite way. It's not that hard to make your team listen.

I made two big changes in my own playstyle to get out of Bronze. Now I'm having to adjust again in Silver to rank up, but it's becoming a little too familiar, to be honest. The "hell" likely exists in various places. But I digress...

  1. Game-Changing Champs - I played Galio. What I mean is that it's relatively easy to get a lot of kills as an ADC and sometimes get out of the way before you die. That leaves you with a pretty good score, but a loss nonetheless. This is because an ADC is only as good as the team in front. Play the champions in the front so you can control the pace of the team fights. I saved lots of awful teams from losing just by timing Galio's ult really well and making sure I snagged the champions that needed to be locked down.

  2. Communication - This is the hell I currently find myself in. I played Bronze for all of Season 3 and made it into Silver in the preseason of Season 4. In Bronze, I was generally able to start the team off on the right foot simply by saying:

"Greetings!" "Let's build a solid team, shall we?"

People were far more receptive to it than I expected, and we often built great team compositions and went on to stomp all over the other team. In Silver, however, I feel that too many players think they are better than "teamwork" and they'll just "carry" if they get to play the champ they want. They are often wrong, but I doubt they learn from their mistakes.

So, those were my two secrets for getting out of Bronze. It doesn't have to be Galio, but find a champion that controls the team fights. Since it's Bronze, don't get too deep into different types of teams. Some team comps require too much skill to pull off without solid players. Stick with a standard Hard Initiate/CC team that can dive in and lock down the enemies really well. In Bronze, CC almost always wins.
