i am stuck in bronze 5 playing with people who don't really know how to play, when i mean by play i mean going into a 2v4 and 2v5's i also do it to but not every single game i play there is someone who just wont stop dying is there anything i could door should do, and its not just that they die once in lane and they wont hug and they wont hug and before you know it they are fed. its not just them i am also not that good but i feel like i don't really belong there and i would do better in b1 or b2 not b5. any tips on how to get better or improve?

Your runes aren't good. They are Bronze good, nothing else. Get either Flat AD marks, or Armor Pen Marks. Armor seals, Magic resist or scaling magic resist glyphs, and then flat ad or lifesteal quints. Attack speed will do you nothing if you have no damage. Cooldowns on an ADC who focuses on basic attacking is useless. Get tier 3 runes. Play normals until you can have a good rune page. Trust me, runes can make the difference in a game.

Most probably won't waste there time posting, but I will donate my time. Work on improving your own game before blaming teammates. I glanced at your lolking and it looks like there are times that you possibly chased or simply didn't run away from a losing fight. Work on staying alive and farming so you can buy your items that will help you carry. In bronze you can carry yourself out you have decent K/D/A, with deaths being low. Do some normal games and simply just practice your champ some more. Setup games vs bots to simply practice farming, play 2v2 or 3v3s with friends on the rift to practice ganking bot. Watching Streams of pros is pretty amazing.

I feel that way too sometimes. I am B5 too. But it's also Solo/Duo queue much harder to get some good teamwork going on. No matter how good I do on my champs not everyone knows how to work together. And I think that is important. Knowing when to run in and when to run away is key. I see many times where a team mate will run the wrong direction to escape and gets caught and dies. Then they complain to you because you didn't help. Listen it really helps to know directions to run. If ever unsure which way to run, just make a B line straight back up the lane back to base. Don't try to evade through jungle unless you know its clear. Or those who try to run down the river and get caught too. 3 basic rules to follow by.

Know your champ
Know the map
Know your team

If you have any doubt that the support is just gonna run away better just ping them to fall back and not try to fight it out. Best to wait for the rest of the team to engage in a team fight.

Also know who to focus. My last game nobody was focusing the damage dealers. They all focused whoever was closest which is good if it is the adc but it was tanks. The damage dealers were at the back of the pack shredding the team. I always make it my point to focus those doing most damage. You can finish off the tanks later, they are slow and dont hurt very much. Unless you have a good Volibear then he hurts and is tanky.

Hope this gives you more insight.

Looking at your scores, you die a LOT. Try to limit your deaths while still taking kills. If this means letting a potential kill get away, then let it go.

Know the role of your champ. You seem to play a lot of melee bruiser type champs. Don't be the one starting fights, but the one ending fights. You need to find a way to get to the enemy ADC or midlaner without getting focused down hard. In most cases, this means to come into a fight from the side (especially important for yasuo and jax).

If you're just looking to get out of low elo, my best recommendation would be to bias your champion pool towards lower elo players, and to work on basic decision making. If you know the kinds of mistakes that are typical for your elo (Bad Positioning for example), look for champions that can capitalize on that (ie. Blitzcrank was made for it).

If you're average with both Caitlyn and Vayne, you'd go for whoever's best against the enemy team. But, if you're amazing with both Caitlyn and Vayne, Vayne would be much better for lower elo because players generally don't know how to shutdown a fed Vayne while Caitlyn can't snowball nearly as hard from getting ahead.

I say decision making because quite a few of your games have high # deaths. I'm not sure where along the lines you picked up those deaths, but it probably could've been avoided. If you're team is really behind, don't try to force teamfights. You'll lose 90% of the time while the other team gets even farther ahead. If you're in a hard counter lane or are behind pretty badly, just play passively and only retaliate when he jumps into your minion wave to trade (they'll do good dmg). If you aren't sure if something can be pulled off, it's better to not try. Sketch drags aren't worth if four of your team died to get it. The general rule of thumb is to always play safe and look to capitalize on enemy mistakes.

I don't have a lot of time to get into this, and this question is asked everywhere, but looking at your lolking I would advise you to play fewer champions and master them. At B5 most people think that a counterpick will win the game, but when you play a champion that you are confident that you are good at, counterpicks don't seem to matter.

Most of the time it's just improving your own game and mindset after every game. Play a game, and review what happened to you. If you deserve to be out of B5 the game will go in your favor eventually thats what the LP gain/loss is meant for.

Hope this helps a little

I'm only Bronze 2, but I feel like I can help you out a bit too.

I looked at your ranked stats on your lolking. You have A LOT of champs on there that you only have like one game with. That's generally not a good thing; stick with champs you play a lot. Don't pick someone just because some website says a champ counters whoever you're facing. It backfires a lot, and that comes from experience.

Also, always keep a good attitude. If you have nothing good to say to your team, don't say anything. You can poke fun at the enemy, but make sure its in good spirits. No one likes a sore loser, but even moreso, no one likes a sore winner.I know this doesnt sound like a lot, but trust me; keeping morale high is key to a team-based game.

TL;DR - dont play champs only once, and be nice to everyone.

Hope this helps

B3 here, the elo hell is real dude, honestly, just try to keep positive, and ping lots, not excessively or annoyingly, just try to help/lead your teammates, it pays off. especially if you're carrying. Other than that, you can't fix stupid.

Was out of bronze in a week.

What did I do? I helped my team with item suggestions and good pings. The game practically became a RTS using pings to control the other champs, no joke.

I would ping for everything and be even more amazed when the champs complied as if I clicked them to myself.

Its important to not be toxic or rude at all or all of the pings will be ignored. Its about communication.

I was out of bronze in 3 days and won my first promo out.

No carries, only duo'd a couple games and solo'd my promo.

I used Talon to do it if that helps lol.

There were 5 afks in my promos and I started at B5.

Its about being a good teammate and not so much a good player in bronze.
