How do I climb when people are always toxic?

they have no will power

It's easier to go duo as you'll have at least one other person in your team that you can connect with easier. Otherwise, try these tips out (This is coming from a guy who peaked at Bronze 1, so take it as you want): -Play well. Team members seem more willing to take instruction from someone who's getting fed and winning lane. No need to go overboard; just be able to make a call here and there (ward here, keep together, target this champ, etc)

-Learn more roles. Few normally go support I think, so it's easier to get it in ranked. However, it's good to have go-to champions in other roles. Because of this, you should try other roles in normals and pick out a proper champion you can play as. I hear Silver is more mechanics than higher-level play, so if you can do well say with J4, there's less need for you to have a full rune page set for him (although you should)

-Study other champions. You seem to be on this, but learn your matchups. You main support, so you should know how to face a Morgana support and a Quinn adc. Know what makes each pair work and how to avoid their plays. As odd-ball picks happen, don't forget to learn about other lane champs as well.

Step 1: Turn off all chat in your settings. All chat is toxic the vast majority of times that it is used, and it is completely useless in terms of actually playing the game.

Step 2: When people are negative, don't respond to their negativity with more negativity. Don't bother giving people advice either, because 9 times out of 10 they don't want it and will lash out as if you insulted them. They're probably just having a bad game and they're upset. Just play the best you can and ignore their negative behavior to the best of your ability. When you do give advice, it's best to direct it at the entire team rather than a single individual. That way nobody feels like you're singling them out for their mistakes.

Step 3: Force yourself to do a little exercise after losing a game (Jumping jacks, crunches, pushups, or whatever). It doesn't have to be a serious workout, just enough to get you breathing heavy. Aerobic excercise releases dopamine and makes you happier. It also gets your blood flowing which will make your hands and brain more responsive (you'll play better). This will lessen the impact of your negative experiences overall and improve you as a player.

Step 4: Report negative behavior. This really does work! Not only does this eventually weed the negative players out, but it also makes you feel better simply for clicking the button. It's a psychology thing. You don't need to announce that you're reporting people either. That only makes matters worse in the short term.

You climb the ladder one step at a time. Otherwise you might fall and hurt yourself.
