Title self explanatory. Yesterday i spent the whole game playing. climbed from bronze 3 70 Lp to bronze 1 0 Lp. And i thought .... maybe i'll get out of bronze today ?! OMG

BUT NO, first game i had a ekko that at 20 mins decided to LITERALLY run it down mid tyler1 style. WTF. Second game was a close one , but end up losing. I'm fine with that. COMPLETELY fine. Demoted. but if i climbed once , i can climb again , right ?

THIRD GAME, (BRONZE 2 75 LP), THAT WAS FUCKIN' MADNESS , lvl 3 a morgana and a jax gank me at top , morgana flash-q-ignite , jax stuns me , garen Q me ,i die. But it's alright , i said to my team . we can do this , i said ... well .... .NO. I kill garen twice afther that , 7 mins in. I see hope again. But guess what ? MY MID LANER HAD ALREADY DIED 6 TIMES. 6 TIMES IN 7 MINUTES. My graves jgl was 0/2 . My bot lane was 0/1 and 0/2/0 , while soraka permaflamed everyone. Both mid and bot inner turrents where already down at the 15 mins mark , so i get 4 people jumping on me , killing me , and taking my turrent. Game ends at 20 mins. final score ? 9/34/8 , whit me having 7 deaths and half of the fuckin' team kills. NO , i haven't played since then. TOO DAMM TILTED TO PLAY. But i just want some advice to what to do if when i try again, if get this goddam trolls AGAIN.

Trying to maintain above a 50% winrate is the key to climbing, you probably won't get out of bronze with one day of goodluck

You apply law of averages. If there are so many trolls, that you get one every 3 games; then the same is true for your opponents. As long as you can stay above 50% win rate by any amount, you will climb.

If there aren't that many trolls, then you can just assume you're getting screwed by the law of large numbers right now, but it should balance out over time.

Either way, it is beyond your control. Best you can do is play your games as best you can. Take a break now and then to do something else. Too much focus on 1 thing will build up excess stress - especially if you're not having fun with it.
