Is there honestly anything i can do to get out of bronze?

Picture of my current team and the kind of team i get EVERY game. So by that time they had 8 kills. As of now zed and i are the only source of kills. Soraka is 0/7 with tp and ignite. No one has been warding. Now before you give these suggestions Try duoing. I have no one to duo with that i know is good. Try telling your team what to do? Anything i say get immediately complained about with something like "omg dont tell me what to do or i feed"

As of now soraka is 1/10 Singed is 0/8 Zed is 9/10 im 7/6 Corki is 2/5

Reporting doesnt make any difference in my games for two reasons Half the time the enemy will honor the troll for letting them win, the other half is them saying im toxic and reporting me. I just don't know what to do. This is making me insanely frustrated because all I want to do is get out of bronze.

yes, yes there is friend!

STOP. CARING. ABOUT. YOUR. TEAM!

It doesn't matter.

You are the common denominator in your games. the only way out of YOUR TIER is to better YOURSELF.

work on YOUR CS.

work on YOUR MAP AWARENESS.

work on YOUR WARDING (yes, get that upgraded trinket at lvl 9 and outward your support who has a sightstone!)

work on YOUR MECHANICS (osu, aimbooster, etc...)

work on YOUR POSITIONING

Don't duo, it makes games harder, meaning you are put against tougher opponents to make up for the duo teamwork. Just solo queue with the one and only thought: "I want to get better". you need to stop caring about lp AND rank and start caring about everything YOU can do better. record your games and review fights you thought you did well or fights that went really bad. see in both instances what you could have done better.

YOU HAVE ZERO INFLUENCE ON ANYONE'S GAME PLAY BUT YOUR OWN!

ps: i was placed into Bronze V at the beginning of the season. Completely botched my placements and voila: Bronzie was I But even though that was frustrating, i climbed out. Same thing last season (though last season it only took me 25 games. this season took me way longer!)

If you dont belong in Bronze, you will climb out.

If you do belong in Bronze but dont want to be there, YOU need to get better! Not your teammates, but YOU!!!

How does making myself better get me out of bronze though? I try my best to only focus on my self but if my team starts doing horrible I get somewhat negative and it effects how i play.

ditch the "my team" mentality. did you even read a word of what i wrote?

by no means am i a good player but i am trying to get better. did i like getting out of bronze? sure. that was a goal. but i did not get there by thinking: "Woe is me, its always MY TEAM, i am actually plat material but MY TEAM is holding me back. I ALWAYS get the trolls on MY TEAM...etc..."

I started reviewing how many wards i placed per game and actively tried to place more next game. I paid attention to upgrading my trinket. (sometimes i still do it way to late or even forget) I looked up runes and masteries of Korean players for the champs i play and tried to adapt those. They have a lil better grasp of the game and math behind runes and masteries it seems. I watched high elo streamers and started adapting strats, like placing a pink into the lane brush, then sweeping the other to set up the jungler for a lane gank. I tried to die less, though that is still one of my greatest problems. I still have tons to do to get better. But i am out of Bronze DESPITE "MY TEAM"

Pick a gank heavy JG, 8m into the game you should have at least 3 kills in bronze (its that easy).

PredatoreSep 25, 20151 votes

I play nocturne most the time and gank whenever i see an oppotunity going from camp to camp. I usually get 2 kills around 8 minutes in. But every lane loses and I can't do anything.

Carry them harder is the only option. As long as you are good enough you should win every game 99% of the time if you get your role and champ.

Personally I've never had to deal with bronze. I only started solo queue last season, having placed into silver, and this season I placed into gold. I barely play ranked by the way, with about 12 solo queue matches this season under my belt including placements.

Everyone I see come on here who is honestly frustrated about being stuck in bronze seems to do the same thing; they play a lot of ranked. Try playing more normals than ranked games, as it's a far more relaxing place to practice and improve.

PredatoreSep 25, 20151 votes

Ive tried taking breaks in between matches before. Same thing happens. I might win a couple but in the end, I lose maybe 10 games in a row.

redniwediSSep 25, 20151 votes

That's why you practice in normals more than you compete in ranked. In normals it does not matter if you lose, you're there to learn and improve. There is nothing on the line, it's just you learning skills you can put to use in ranked.

Also listen to what Aerothal has to say.

SerevasSep 25, 20151 votes

Well I'll throw the same two suggestions at you anyway, but I'd be happy to play a game or two with your tonight in normals maybe I can see something you don't or honestly maybe we'll be good as a team and we can duo.

Add me if you'd like.

Your team doesnt matter in getting better your team makes you win or lose games. If you focus on how you play and do you do everything right and try to fix your mistakes you will become better and at some point you can 1v5 carry every game. If you are good enough. Btw individual games dont matter your skill matters, as long as you have enough skill you will win more individual games.
