Bronze League in a nutshell.

Spikeman71··21 votes·2,216 views

TL;DR

No matter how hard you carry. You will surely die.

You may be 10-0 but 1-2 allies will feed to death causing enemies to wander in your perfect lane and make you 10-7 in minutes.

The Adc is never good and if they are you won the lottery.

Impossible to get in a game without champ select being full of players cursing each other out.

You will make the best plays and get a triple or quad but still get wrecked by the feeding.

1 player is afk.

1 player rages because he/she doesn't know how to farm under tower.

Fiora 1v5's.

Riven 1v5's

Jax or Tryndamere lane splits and kills your turrets.

Jungle can't smite before the dragon has 1000hp.

Jungle can't jungle.

Adc can't adc.

Zed can't Zed

The player that gets pissed at the other players who feed is coincidentally the best player on the team. (The poor guy who got stuck in Bronze.)

Leblanc jumps and jumps and jumps then splits then melts everyone.

Adc blames support because Adc cannot kill.

6-0 Adc stands in front of the entire team in team fights. Proceeds to go 6-9 after 20 more minutes.

Adc is the team fight.

Adc farms jungle during every team fight.

Adc is solo fighting Tryndamere .

Troll has to troll your promo.

Player picks a new champion to play in a ranked game.

24-4 Irelia is 1v5ing. (and winning)

Player walks ahead of minions and gets melted by inhibitor turret.

4 members of the team try to baron with all 5 enemies alive.

Team tries to kill max hp enemies that have a newly acquired baron buff.

Player stands under 1hp turret against 5 enemies.

Player picks adc for top lane.

Tank charges 5 enemies with nobody around.

Garen fights Quinn and can't figure out they aren't going to kill Quinn

Mid or feed

Platinum smurf isn't Platinum.

Actual Platinum smurf can't carry awful team.

Welcome to Bronze. Enjoy.

Then why didn't you leave your lane and help them before they start feeding? If you're that fed, you should not stay in your lane the entire time. You need to help your teammates. It's not the jungler's job to win every lane, everyone needs to help out.

It's not a perfect lane if there's another lane struggling. This is a TEAM game, don't expect to carry if you consider it a 1v5 from champion select.

I am low ELO and I second this. Really, if you are 10-0, you easily have won lane by this point and should be helping other lanes. Guess what? The fact that you are fed, can help your other lanes get back.

Part of the bronze problem is people overextend laning phase. I think the advice to bronzies, such as myself, is that it's a team game and if you are fed, great, but your 0-3 midlaner could probably benefit from the extra damage in his/her lane.

IcyPepper3 votes

And being fed isn't the only reason to leave your lane. If you're mid, and you kill your opponent, don't autoattack the tower early game. That's putting a "gank me" sign on your back.

You can roam when you're behind, ESPECIALLY when you're behind. I've seen people who've been counterpicked adapt rather than bitch about it, like a Katarina against a Kassadin who knew she couldn't win so she roamed to bot lane at level 3 to score first blood. Now THAT'S a smart move.

There's many ways to help each other out, and several times to do it. Why do you think toplaners always take teleport? It's not to just get back in their lane to farm (it's helpful to, but bot lane doesn't!), it's often used for surprise ganks and teamfights.

Because sometimes even if you help your team they will still try and do everything wrong. Leona stun-locking the full tank Garen that is only able to slap you with wet noodles, instead of their 6/3 Zed kind of stupid.

For me, if you have a good champion select then in game I will lose in 20 minutes. If everyone wishes cancer on each other in champion select then it will be a close game. If no one talks at all your team stomps the other team.

In 2 weeks I went from bronze 4 to silver 3. Anyone can develop the skills to win in this game but if you come into the game with a pre conceived negative attitude then you have already lost and will never climb.

Sometimes these bronze horror stories make me glad I haven't gotten to level 30 yet.

Even when you reach level 30, don't rush rank too soon. =P Usually a few months after being level 30 is a good time to do it.

The only way to carry Bronze is through massive cheese. Don't try to play what the pros do as it doesn't apply to Bronze level mechanics and decision making. If you wanna carry yourself out, play things people don't know how to deal with (Proxy Singed, AP Trynd, Quinn Top, etc.).

Become frustrating to deal with as half of the people who are in Bronze tilt really hard (part of why they're there). Abuse champions that abuse human nature and you will see your winrates go up.

True for the most part, though I've had some pleasant champ selects, where the game went to shit and everybody started cussing each other out. I had a game where dumbass me forgot to change from support runes and masteries and went top lane, that was a fun game. I at least owned up to it, and took 100% of the blame for the loss, cause the enemy laner got fed as hell. The main thing for me is I'll go on a win streak get to promos then have 1 or both games where somebody goes afk either from the start or shortly into the game. But if we really hated it we'd all quit playing.

I don't understand the match-making system. Whenever I qualified for a series, well, I understand that I need to beat my enemies who have a higher MMR (I assume). BUT COME ON! At least match me with teammates that have decent skills. How am I supposed to win the game alone? And yes, there's always at least a troll in my series, every single time!

PoisonedTea1 votes

Your 10-0 like I carry the game on that. Me I just keep getting trolled in lane with feeding junglers or supports. Who plays support wukong I don't care if it works you still don't tower dive a leona. What type of support pushes your lane. or the worst your jungler likes to feed the enemy adc you just ganked and died ok fine, Then they do it again right after that wtf! If it didn`t work the first time it not going to work the second time.

PoisonedTea1 votes

You also give to much credit to supports bronze support players are so bad I rather have the clueless support players cause at least you know they can`t help.

As a support in bronze I've been flamed so much for an adc's own mistakes. I have had vaynes and lucians try to start a fight without me when i went to ward river, adc would die trying to 1v2 then blame me for not being there to save them. Oh and when we do get ganked it is my fault for not warding river?? Yea there are bad bronze support, there also good bronze support (not saying I'm one of the best supports, but I like to think I'm alright). But there are more bad adc's in bronze than bad supports.

^This. ADC is actually too complicated of a role for the lower elos, especially Bronze 4 and 5. Even Golds have much better ADC mechanics than Silver. There are a few good ADCs in Silver, but I don't think there's many good ones in low Bronze. So generally, best way to climb low Bronze is to avoid the ADC role so you can somehow carry the bad ADC.

This 100%. The ADCs too often view themselves as the best and act the worst. It's enough to drive a support main up the wall. Playing support well is committing to helping the team, the ADC in particular. When the ADC throws their efforts back in their faces like this, it makes them NOT want to support, because really, who wants to lane with someone that keeps wasting your peels and heals by letting you die every time you do your job by not doing theirs? It's a hard strain even for Braum 's strongest muscle to go through that all the time.

Honestly, I feel so bad for supports I'd rather have a non-support beside me that helps me wage war against the enemy.

JJ H0G1 votes

Too true. I've only done one ranked game since I've gotten placed this season, but during my placements I got plenty of kiddies who'd flame you for making calls in chat. They always tend to be playing an assassin or adc and try to 1vX>1 all game. Such is life in the jungle.

Eraest971 votes

Or you have that guy who gets "counter-picked" and decides that the game is already over since he is going to lose lane...

Mr Borg1 votes

I never understood the complaints about the community. Then resets put me in bronze. Holy shit its toxic. On the bright side, I'm usually the best person in the game and with some patience I can climb pretty easily.

My favorite was when I won lane as lux, was 6/3/3 (by far highest kda on the team), highest cs in the game, and my team flamed me for feeding.

Being 10-0 and seeing your 1-2 allies doesn't always mean they will feed, even in Bronze. If you are 10-0 and the enemies jump in your "Perfect" lane and make you 10-7, that is all your fault. You should already understand that not only are you 10-0, but you are the main source of threat on your team. Any one in the right mind will come to your lane and help their lane out. When you go 10-0 in your "perfect" lane, and end at 10-7 I can only assume you constantly push it out, fail to ward, have zero map awareness of people missing in their lanes, or you just go straight for your lane enemy because they are underfed and their jungler or other laner come OUT OF NOWHERE and kill you.

IF you claim you do not belong in bronze and your only evidence is that I get fed but can't carry a crap team, then you belong in bronze. From a statement like that alone, I only assume you play solo and understand the game well enough to make plays, but you and your team when playing are not on the same page and are disorganized. And you hog big waves of creeps, split push when you should not, or chase a bait. The biggest issue I had getting out of bronze twice was my teammates could not recognize baits, so I told and pinged them when a bait was coming. Your win% will definitely go up when you help your team out and have good map awareness.

I also want to add in, specifically for NA, if your first pick is Korean, they're going to pick something the enemy already countered, spam "i mid", and then feed. Happened to me three times now. Stereotypes do not show reality. Korean bronze is worse than american bronze.

Being a Bronzie noob such as myself, I can second most of the things that you said in this post, but some of these things don't happen every game, I have had ADC's that went 0/6/1 and 50 cs at 15 minutes ended up carrying the game and ending (Don't Ask, I don't know how it happened either, he had an avarice blade for about 20 minutes before building it into shiv) I have had many pleasant champion selects, as it is draft pick, many people still respect the blind pick rules of, "Whoever calls it first gets it first". I have had 1 troll in 30 games ( I understand 30 games isn't a lot, but I think its a good ratio). I am by no means good at this game, but this is what I have experienced in my ranked games so far this season, aside from 4 4v5s in placements xD.
