Why is getting out of bronze so hard?

I play safe, aggressive, whatever, it doesnt seem to matter because I always get afks, people that give up or people that keep going in by themselves and feeding. I try and follow tips for getting out of bronze but I can't ever win any games. Either I'll carry so hard but can't win team fights cause my team is so bad, or I do bad because someone fed and now I'm dying to that fed champ. How do you get out of this crap?! It's seriously making me want to give up on ranked because it's impossible to get out of. I've one 7 games in ranked out of 20. It's ridiculous!

this is better in general discussion or gameplay?

Your Zed cs, and most cs in general, is pretty low. Your recent loss where you went 14/10/9 clearly could have been turned into a win if your teammates had performed better, but you'd have had a shot at hard-carrying the game with more farm. Not being full build at 41 minutes is no bueno.

I know your question was about other people, but ultimately you can't pick your team. Best way to get out of Bronze is always gonna be putting your team on your back and hard-carrying.

It took me like 1-2 months to get out of but it's because I was getting better and better.

Do you only play 2-3 champions? Do you stick to one role? Do you buy a control ward first back (if you have the gold)? Do you win your lanes often?

I checked your most recent game as zed vs lux and you never bought a hexdrinker? You always buy a hexdrinker as first item when you are struggling in the lane.

Another game against akali you never bought a item 3155 nor item 3123

You have to know your matchups/builds/lead also dodging skillshots will help you to climb faster.

You also need to update your builds a bit. Varus should have a Guinsoo's. You should have one of the big pen items as an adc like mortal reminder if the enemy has a tank.

You either don't play enough games, or you're not good enough to compensate for all the shitty bronze play. I Don't keep up with the meta that well, so I'm sorry I just don't have any specific suggestions. Every season, except this one, I've started in bronze and was out within a couple weeks. Just keep playing and listen to these guys lol. They sound like they know what they're talking about.

You can easily solo carry any game below plat if you're really good enough.

That being said. Just playing the lane right doesn't matter. You NEED game knowledge. You need to understand what to do when you are ahead, what people to snowball, what enemies to stop from getting too far ahead, what objective matters most at a time etc.

Dealing raw damage is rarely the solution to winning a game.

I'd say play meta scaling champions that can carry hard and 1v5, from what i see you're playing varus/zed/zyra and so on that can't really carry a game by themselves easily.
