Bronze Life

In about the last week I have played 13 ranked games and dodged one. Of these I won 3. I started a list of these games and the trolls that I have to deal with in bonze. I dodged one game do to a toxic champ select chat room and then a Soraka mid pick. Don't get me wrong I know I am not a Diamond level player. I would love to get into upper silver or gold just to not have to deal with these trolls and feeders. It really makes me want to stop playing league and Riot has no answer for it. So here is the list. 1.Mid was called. Double mid pick. Second mid feed. 2.Supp went AFK for like 10 -15 mins 3.Ashe (I never win with and Ashe on my team. NEVER) No team fighting peps roamed all game. Never with there tank. Dives are OP. 4.ADC was Trash. Supp kept tower diving. Top kept diving tower. 5.Mid AFK. Top and Bot both rere's 6.Dodge 7.Team diving in team fight to get to the ADC. Trying to walk threw a standard mid lane 5v5 to get to the ADC and AP. I get you want to kill the ADC and high dmg peps first. But am I wrong or do you attack what is in range and poke, not try to walk threw the team to get to squishy over and over dying and losing the fight every time? I really need insight on this one. Team raged at me towards the end of the. "KILL JINX FIRST", them. "Dude jinx is in the back where she should be you can't just walk back there to her you got to kill the front line", me. I was Braum supp btw. 8.ASHE! Team Chase so hard. 3 peps chased one from Bot to top lane just to get crushed once there by other team. That was a normal thing. 9.Refused to team fight. We were so close tho still. Had and open hib, 4 of there team dead and everyone leaves. Even me. I was supp and do no dmg so I went to ward look at mini map and jaw drops to see the hib still there. GG after that. 10.Warwick jung might as well been AFK. Top and Mid fed. I was supp and we smashed bot lane but could not carry against 3 other fed players. I even roamed to help mid and jung getting them kills.

I'll stop here. I think the point is made. I know I don't have perfect play every game or ever for that matter. But my luck is insanely bad. I started this list to be sure I jut didn't think I was being trolled a ton and I don't feel I am just making it up. Before I started keeping track I would have like a 20% AFK rate and 20% feeder of like 4 kills in less than 10 mins. What can I do about this? Is there any way to spot a troll before the game? Something I can do to raise my chase of winning just on sheer luck? I am just lost in this... I really enjoy playing but it's becoming not worth the pain in the ass to play with these people in a team game which I have no choice of who is on my team. Well I am just looking for some thoughts here. And I know I am not perfect and can't win every game. But with my luck I really can't carry hard enough even when I am crushing my lane and roaming and doing all the right things.

I started at Silver 2 or 3 played on a holiday weekend (big mistake) and plummeted to bronze. First real season playing ranked and I didn't really understand the system and now can't catch a break. I have been up and down between B3 and B1 a few times. I notice when I am the worst player on the team we win. Team fighting is key but it's hard to get a team together, it's mind blowing for them to not wander the jung alone. Wards are a must (part of why I supp so much). I normally Jung, mid, or supp. But I can fill well. Just back ground for advice and thoughts. Thanks for the time.

This was originally deleted for being in the wrong place. Since then these patterns of troll continue and are much worse as the season ends and the new is starting. Some what understandable but AFK and people going in to a 1v1 that the enemy just killed them decisively in a 1v1 not but 2 mins ago will never be excused.

Dude that was a story and a half so I didn't read all of it.

First season I played ranked I went from Bronze 4 - Gold 5 so I hope I can help.

The main thing that helped for me was firstly picking a champ that is op or super strong in team fights.

I carried myself out of bronze back in the day only playing Orianna and Kayle. (Orianna to change teamfights and kayle was broken back then) oh and Nami supp i had a ridiculous win rate with her.

U may be saying what about my teammates. DUDE listen regardless of how bad or troll champ select is; try to keep calm (ik its hard).

This main point is said by literally everyone but this is because its the most true. The Point. ALWAYS ALWAYS focus on your OWN mistakes, think of everything that you could have done better.

The games you have stated seem rly troll but understand u are in bronze ppl are going to troll but it is just as likely to happen to the other team. Not all games will be like that.

So remember:

-Pick an OP champ who is good in teamfights.

-Always focus on your own mistakes

-Keep your cool

I rly wish u the best hope this helped u will make it out of bronze gl.

i'll get you out of bronze lol...jk. all you need to do is work on ur own gameplay. **Play the game to get better, rather then climb ranks **

I see a lot of posts like this but if your getting games like this.... Soo is the other teams your playing. Now is your mind blown?

I do NOT mean this in a mean way so PLEASE dont take this incorrectly, but when i see this i see a wall of excuses. Although you cant help afks/trolls, The best way you can improve is to realize your own mistakes in-game. In those team fights, what did YOU do wrong, what could you have done to make you and your team succeed. I know it can be hard sometimes. But the first step to getting out of bronze is to realize your mistakes and improve off them. Not other peoples mistakes, YOUR mistakes. No matter what leage you are in, you will always have to focus on yourself to win games. Your rank is based off of your skill, so if you can push forward to improve, winning more games comes automatically.

Being Unraked for 3 years now but what happen to me was not this, for me the issue is with the community itself.....

7.Team diving in team fight to get to the ADC. Trying to walk threw a standard mid lane 5v5 to get to the ADC and AP. I get you want to kill the ADC and high dmg peps first. But am I wrong or do you attack what is in range and poke, not try to walk threw the team to get to squishy over and over dying and losing the fight every time? I really need insight on this one. Team raged at me towards the end of the. "KILL JINX FIRST", them. "Dude jinx is in the back where she should be you can't just walk back there to her you got to kill the front line", me. I was Braum supp btw.

Can anyone give me their insight on #7??
