I'm bronze trash. I did make silver once my s5 placements where is went 2/8 and it gave me silver V and i was horrible but the first placement games are never right. My friend who had his account banned for testing the gosu script patching bug in customs want 1/9 and got b2. I also got demoted to bronze II. He was s5 on his old account. I know i have the capabilities to get out. Now i feel like I'm much better at the game. S6,4/6 bronze V. S7 6/4 bronze V. After a long time I'm now b4 off of a hot streak of 6 games. I don't play ranked as much but I'm getting back into it. I'll be blunt and say at best mid silver -low gold at best is where I should be. No cognitive bias here. But I do think I can make it to silver. That aside, I've been here for 2 seasons but how long are people usually stuck in bronze.

You make it out when you grind enough to climb out. Any win rate at 43.6% or higher means you'll climb. Slowly. Like, at 1 LP profit every 200 games. But you'll slowly climb. Veeery slowly.

Half of what hold people back is simply not grinding. Not very much of it is really a lack of skill.

There is absolutely no way you are mid silver to low gold and in bronze 4, it just doesn't work that way. You have about 140 games played, if you were mid silver to gold 4 level you would be at a minimum silver 2/3 right now.

Usually people are only stuck in Bronze their first season. 2 is pushing it, 3 means you aren't focusing on learning the game because you have convinced yourself that you are already good.

Nope, it is also true for the 5v5 game. If you are mid silver to Gold it would be incredibly easy to stomp your way through Bronze. You may not realize it right now, since you are playing at your actual skill level, but the rank you are at is very VERY easy to 1v5. Someone that was Mid Silver to Low Gold would easily stomp low bronze games. Even a Silver 3 could solo stomp to at least Bronze 1 before the game even feels remotely difficult.

Ranking system is only if you have a team of 4 other friends that know the game good, otherwise its not possible to rank up because like that its based 100% on luck and with what people it will put you and not your own skill. I personally never play ranked because the stats are temporary and reset each time while normal stats stay forever. I still own all champions in the game.

Also the majority of League's players play normal games and are not even in any rank so being Bronze is not something bad since its the most common, its acctualy more shameful being higher league because like that you are in the minority and people think you are a neckbeard/nerd.

It's not about time, it's about number of games and win rate. You need to play hundreds of games a season I order to actually go up divisions (unless you have a very high win rate.)
