The woes of bronze

How would you feel when you have been playing this game ever since it started, the beta testing. Riot tested out all their fun tricks on you, the one who helped establish the game with wild popularity it has now. You stayed with the game when there was massive kinks in the system (Poppy issues, etc), knowing they would get fixed eventually. You were held personally accountable for when the meta was unfair. Carried games with feeding / trolling teammates. Your closest friends getting auto promoted, while you were struggling in bronze. Let's not even talk about the existence of ELO hell. Yet none of that really mattered, you stuck with the game.
