PSA: The "It's Bronze. It doesn't matter what you play. You can win with anything." needs to stop

This mentality in bronze is really starting to get to me. Why do people think it is okay to go with a team comp that consists of no tank, when the enemy team has at least one tank? No, you have to consider team fights and if you call top and your team is lacking a tank, DO NOT GO TEEMO. Seriously, someone in my last match went Teemo top, mord jungle the mord jungle said that it's bronze and you can win with anything. This logic is flawed as we lost that match. My team was mad at me for tilting, but come on now, stop thinking that you can just make careless champ choices and still win game.

I fucking love bronze games. The pure randomness of it is fkn awesome. Random champs, random items, runes!

And sometimes won games are lost in the drop of a dime (and vice versa).

I love bronze because it's a cesspool of randomness and entropy. I encourage everyone to keep exploring their creativity and play whatever champions and builds you want!

you can win with anything if your not another bronze level scrub. People play what they want in all ranks. so you'll see the no tanks comp everywhere once in a while.

Implying that Bronze players even understand team compositions. Bronze players are mostly idiots that cry all the time instead of taking the time to think about the insane nonsense they do all the time and feed. Listen, it doesn't matter what your team picks where, its a Bronze game, you should be able to carry it. If you can't, you need to improve, not blame your teammates. It's really that simple. If I'm playing in game where the average skill level is below Bronze 1, I don't give a flying fuck what my teammates pick. I'm probably gonna carry still anyways.

Having or not having a tank doesn't necessarily win or lose you games. Really it comes down to what you are strongest with. Just picking a champion for reasons: "OP" "LCS" or "They are a counter!" is the wrong way to pick unless you play 10 hours a day and are super competent with almost any champ you play. If you only have time to play a few games a day pick 1-3 champs and start mastering them. This is your best chance to rank up and win games.

Example, I am Gold Level Nasus main who got stuck as mid last night in ranked. I saw Swain going Top Vs Riven so I took Nasus vs their Diana Mid. I beat the living hell out of her. Not because I counter picked but because I knew my champion so well and my team believed me when I asked them to trust me.

Also you need to be positive even if your team isn't doing well. If you are tilting you are affecting everyone else with your negativity. I am not immune from this either but being positive will give you a healthier game perspective and can help you and your team mount a comeback from what seems like a defeat. So don't flame or rage about someone's pick. That immediately puts them on defensive and will have a negative impact on how they play.

I hope this helps and you should legit try what I said. It helps and does get you moving up.

They really do have a point. I've seen some crazy stuff work in low elo simply because they don't know how to play against it. While I don't condone doing things too crazy, legit anything can work.

stop thinking playing sht you don't play just "for the team" will make you won the game

if everyone "picked for the team" and all lanes lose because nobody plays their main, you're fked play whatever you can play is legit the best advice

But isn't that supposed to be the beauty of bronze?
