A long road...

My road out of bronze is almost near, And I have to admit this has been the worse experience I have ever felt in a game..

It all started with me making my way into level 30, I earned the amount of champions needed and even grind up enough to earn at least five rune pages (one for each role) before I even dare to touch rank I took the time to learn every role and fell in love with the support role.. and there I was making my way in to my first rank experience.

Now I can sit here and tell you just how bad my first experience was, but I am more then sure you already know every little story, you heard them all even to the point where you just don't care or don't believe them any more.. or a simpler solution.. the player sucks.

I would like to just say a few things in behalf of the majority of poor souls making their way out of bronze, and the rest who have given up on it and simply accepted faith..

We do believe in ello hell and many of you have still not got the true meaning behind it, (and what it really represents) It is very unsettling to know many of us will be judge by the rank next to our name, bronze being the worse brand of them all, not only will you be criticize by higher ranks and brushed to the side.. but you have been added to a rank where even the biggest trolls come to have fun with your miss fortune, how could a legit respectful user, with the pure intention of learning to improve themselves be put into such situation and expected to improve.. but most importantly how is it possible that we have been dubbed the KaceyTron of league an put into the same rank systems as them.. how?

Over the years I tried so hard to improve in my own way, where i lack and where i need to improve.. I asked for advice many times on how to get out of bronze by high ranking users and many of them have the same response.. 'Find a good carry, and start carrying the hell out'

But unfortunately if you are like me carrying is not exactly your strongest point, I can play all roles but my strongest role has to be support, And carrying out of bronze as a support has to be the hardest thing ever done..

So before youtube starts making more bronzie videos, And all the ello hell jokes and just how bad bronze rank users are...

We must all start somewhere, we are all newbs compare to our higher ranks, and just because everyone wants to label you a newb because of a few bad apples in your rank system.. your skill will never be determine by your rank.

I want to wish all of you best of luck in climbing out of what ever rank you are, and hope that every game you play is a pleasant and great gameplay experience.. Along with never give up, and i hope to see you in the higher ranks soon.

TL:DR

Your skill is not determine by your rank, Find a way around the negativity.. And most importantly have fun!

Just got out of Bronze myself, and a preemptive congratulations on when you accomplish this. My road was long as well, having to go through 7 separate promo series in Bronze I to finally break out.

No matter what is going on around you, always focus on being a positive influence on the match and always look for the takeaway. Locked into a 4v5? Practice freezing. Team refusing to surrender vs. a hyper scaling team composition when you all picked early-peak champs? Learn how to create vision when besieged. Examine your opponents build, analyze why it works or why it doesn't, and expand your knowledge of champion cooldowns and effectiveness vs. particular compositions. Every match should be a learning experience; no matter whether you're a fresh lvl 30 Bronze V or a Diamond I on the verge of Challenger (or anything in between), you have personal weaknesses and areas where you can improve.

Do not, and I repeat do NOT look at other players and seek ways for them to improve; that's not your responsibility, it's theirs. If you are focused on their issues that means you aren't working on yours. Conversely, if your teammates or even your opponents make a great play, commend them. This goes so far to make the game more enjoyable and it creates a stronger community, which I think we can all agree is an area of needed improvement.
