lifelong bronze here

Hailstate·2/3/2014, 4:05:39 AM·1 votes·290 views

I am a decent player, I usually have a good k/d/a ratio and i won 9 out of 10 games in provisionals and got stuck in bronze2. I have made it all the way to the series to silver several times, but i keep getting intentional feeders and afkers all the time. I was on a 2v5 team in my fifth game to get to silver. I mean people signing up for game, picking their champ and going afk at lvl 1. I would say that i win 75 or 80% of the games that I have decent teammates, but I seem to always get the bad team. I just went on a string of 8 losses with at least 1 afk or intentional feeder in every game. I look up the lolking at the team i am playing and one game the other day a team had all 5 players over 50% win and i had two under 30% win. How does that work? I have started playing support leona and jungle udyr to try to get out of elo hell, but I get a feeding adc that hasn't played adc before. I know i am just rambling, but there has to be people out there that just have horrible team luck like i do and i just need some help getting to silver where at least people try.

Its cause you need more item 3143. Anyways lol dosnt know to match teams, other day I went maxed out on ashe 21/9/17 we ended up losing because yi thinks he can 1 vs 5 but its not as bad as the rank player purposely feeding and then laughing.

My best advice is to try to forget about other players completely. If you get in the kind of head space where you're caught up in thinking about the feeders, trolls, and afkers in the game, it's going to be much more difficult to play well yourself. You are going to have horrible luck with teammates in Bronze and Silver, that's an unfortunate fact. But after each game, if you can focus on what you could have done better as opposed to what other people did wrong, you'll have more fun, win more games, and improve much faster. I hope this helps. :)

Try duoing with a friend with higher MMR, thats how all my friends got out of Bronze hell. Also just keep in mind that the people in silver 5,4, and 3, are almost as bad as those in Bronze.

I recommend going a hyper carry and using your mechanics as much as you possibly can. I main adc and have been playing a lot of vayne lately who is a known hyper carry. Usually I just sit early game and just farm, but as soon as late game comes you are unstoppable if you stay in position. One game my team had 34 kills and I had 24. I ended going like 24/5 or something like that with 128k damage dealt in a 30 or so minute match.
