The Bronze Trap

Hi everyone! Hope you are all having an epic day! :D Now onto business!! Bronze is a trap from which escape feels pretty much impossible. Before anyone asks yes I am bronze rank 2 so I know I'm inexperienced and am where I belong ranking wise, this isn't the issue. The problem is that the ability to climb in bronze is handicapped by the type of people in bronze... Let me break it down. Winning a game of league takes a group of 5 people, most of the time strangers, coming together and working towards a victory through combat with 5 other people. It takes communication, skill, planning, teamwork and a little luck to pull through and I love it. Now this sounds simple enough, except when your teammates choose to fly into a rage as soon as anything goes wrong. Many people will scoff at this but I believe many of my loses have been completely out of my control. This is due to teammates exploding and viciously attacking others on their own team for any mistake! It just lets me down when people seem unable to work together and choose to rage, afk, feed or simply abuse anyone and everyone because they gave up first blood or laning is going poorly. I have had almost laughable experiences with various ranked games in which people choose to lose by getting angry instead of trying to pull it together and come back calmly. And thats the main thing I'm trying to say here. IN LOW RANKS PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO CALMLY PLAY OUT A GAME. I cannot think of a game which I have had that hasn't had someone flip out over one thing or another regardless of result. Its gotten bad enough that I think I would be happy to have a ranked match in which my team was polite and calmly willing to work together come win or lose! Just to get away from the toxicity would truly make me happier than any Gold ranking ever could.

These were the thoughts of a bronze 2 living in The Bronze Trap. I hope you enjoyed Thanks for reading :)

ELO HELL. Often bronze is rife with trolls who feed, cause arguements or just afk for the sake of it. Plus smurfs will sometimes troll, they will say beg me to carry you or I'm feeding...I've even seen them do off stuff like wanting to janna jg. They do this to keep people from climbing the ladder. But majority of people just don't know game mechanics, and they think "hey I'm lvl 30 so now I can play ranked", which they are often not ready at all.
