"If you can't get out of Bronze, you belong there"

TL;DR - Even if you're good, or even great- I keep finding myself in matches where someone on my team feeds badly. Other team has members that are in Silver, Gold, or even Plat. Whole ranking system is screwed up and I wished Riot would change how placements are dealt with.

I keep seeing this. Not sure if people realize it's a team game meaning it's 5v5 ... granted, if you do poorly and go 2 / 8 per game or not doing a good job at cs, yeah I can see why you can't climb out of Bronze. But the fact is, I win a game and then lose the next 2-3 because either someone feeds hard, goes afk, trolls or simply starts getting eager for kills and dying over & over.

Granted i'm not Diamond. Back then, I was Silver II but my ranked games then were nothing like this. We had some feeders, or afks but it feels like every game I am weighed down and can't carry my team. Hell even those who play better than me on my team can't help us win when someone keeps screwing up poorly ... and I try to give positive feedback but they either fight me on it or simply say nothing.

I don't think ello hell exists per say, but Bronze sure is one hell of a place to be stuck in. Worse factor is i'm not fighting Bronze players- I can tell they're Silver, Gold or even Plat members due to how they play. Doesn't help when there are Bronze players in your team, and they have none in theirs (no offense but that's the only word I can find right now). Seems like i'm banging my head against the wall, trying to do my best to cs, destroy towers, get objectives done- but certain members on my team (not always) is rather playing team deathmatch.

... I might need to wait a month or two before playing Ranked. I want to not get anymore Yasuo Supports, or Fiddlestick Junglers going 1 and 10. Again i'm not perfect, and I don't always carry my team but I do well enough to push my lane or ensure I don't feed (even getting some kills going). I don't know how to win a game if someone on our team is wrecking our chances, which happens all too often. Sometime's it's 3 people man.

Bronze literally can be boiled down to this simple equation: Winning team farms objectives, losing teams farm kills. Think about it...it is that simple.

To further my point, teams that destroy all 3 front turrets (first in each lane) before the other team destroy any win 75% of all games.

It's all about which team tilts harder in low elo. Play someone who has high kill pressure and when you start getting kills the enemy team will start blaming and raging at eachother. Bot lane : wahhhh mid laner why are u feeding? mid laner : wtf stfu noob stupid jungler never ganked for me gg, afk. jungler : fk u all im not ganking anymore, top laner: WTF I NEEDED A GANK

etc. just tilt em

Not sure how you play, but that part is a problem. You have to feed. ... jk You shouldn't push. At least, not early, unless you're like, Heimerdinger. But pushing opens up free ganks for the enemy jungler, but if you pull lane(have the enemy's wave push by only hitting minions when they're really low health), then it opens up your jungler being able to gank, and with the tower nerfs one push with your jungler can secure a tower if the enemy doesn't have teleport. Then your lane will push on its own if the enemy laner isn't pushing, and you can get Rift Herald if you're top or mid and then roam to another lane and help kill their enemy and/or push and take their tower.

TL;DR: Don't push, pull your lane and let your jungler gank. If you can, get him to help take your tower because two people can easily take the tower with the defense nerfs.

In my opinion, when your lane opponent teleports to secure a kill...he is giving you a gift. Scenario: Your top lane opponent teleports to bot to secure a kill. You stay top, farm cs, and bring his tower to 50%. Even if he got the last hit on the kill (which would be stupid for him to do), he now has teleport on CD, is losing in CS, and is losing the turret battle. All that kill did for him was make up for the CS he lost and all he has to show for it is a turret at 50%. Furthermore, your teleport is still up...allowing you to eventually increase your CS lead even more.

Teleport, in my opinion, is a false sense of security.
