ELO hell, I'm stuck, help !

So, hello there I'm currently Bronze 1, I main support and I play Sion actively as support and I'm working on mastering Janna, Nami, Braum so I can play them in ranked. I don't want to be (and I'm not btw) a stereotypical bronze " my team sucks" kinde guy. I see my mistakes, I practice in practice tool, I'm rarely toxic, I swallow ( don't take it out of context) all the toxicity and comments pointed to me and I try to be as positive as possible, but also I am sometimes the "raging kid" tho it rarely happen's. I'm not saying I'm perfect, if I were to be perfect I would be the best of the best, I'm average, maybe above average in some matchups. So here's my problem and question : How do I carry as support ? IF my team is not taking objectives, recalling after ace, going 1v5 than blaming others, HOW do I win then, I'm just support, without damage, yes I do have crucial part in teamfight's ( game changing ult's), but I cannot win a teamfight IF my adc is gone because his position was bad, he went 2v1, 3v1, 4v1, 5v1. Yes, maybe I HAVE strategy, maybe I have a good plan, a good teamfight initiation BUT I can't make ( most of the time) other people listen to me, they ignore me, nor I can force them, I'm not Jesus frickin' Christ to call upon the power of universe ( even than would be impossible to make 0/18 Yasuo or anyone else prideful and stubborn ( using yasuo as stereotype) ), nor I can perform some satanist ritual and call upon the power of the Devil himself and ( for some reason) Cthulhu. Now I sound like I'm blaming other's, I DO NOT! There is a time where I get good team, focused team with cold head, and there's the team with Teemo mid or feed, Yi 20+ minutes afk jungling, top that has map awareness like a newly born baby, mid that is either afk or goes 0/5 than flames and blames the jungle ( those are all the scenarios that can and will happen) I know I mentioned mid lane twice, god I hate mid lane main's ( no offense tho) I hate mid because there are all the champ's I hate ( Zed, Anivia, Yasuo, Syndra, Annie) The summary : I focus on my game and my adc, sometime's I lose because I was bad that game, sometime's I go (as Sion support) 10/5/26 and still lose because I CAN'T force my team to take objectives and to teamfight ( engage and disengage), now in that case I try to focus objectives and initiate teamfight's ( mentioned above) but most of the time I end up flamed and called "noob". It is normal to lose, from lost game I learn mistakes, and I practice to fix those mistakes. I just want ( IF possible) to lose less by learning HOW to carry as support. If anyone reads, thanks !

GL HF :D

Ps: sorry for any grammatical mistakes, English isn't my first language. And I will put this in Player behavior, don't get triggered If this is not for "Player behavior" board. Sion

I feel like this would be better suited for the gameplay board (I could be wrong).

But regardless of that, I'd say just try and play as well as you can, always try to encourage and not discourage, if you know where your team should be on the map don't be afraid to call it out, and just try not to be overly aggressive (it can tilt players, especially down here).

That's all I got, hope climbing goes well for you. [slayer-jinx-catface]

I main support, and the sad thing is, you really can't carry as support. My brother said something along the lines of:

Support is like a multiplier, if you have a really good team, and you're a good support, you make your team much better. If you have a bad team and are still a good support, at best you can't do anything. At worst, you make your team much worse.

And the truth is, I think he's right. When I asked him for advice, he said:

What I would do is play a good snowballing champ. If you want to play support, play a high damage one.

Or you could find a good duo partner. Basically, support is to reliant on the rest of the team.

Pfft, bronze 1 isnt elo hell; you just need to get a little better.

Also, if you really want to carry as a support, play Blitzcrank Leona Thresh Rakan

however, if you are not confident in your skills or if you don't like those champions, I recommend Lulu Janna

they are both good picks but not as much carry potential.

Remember: you should be always be looking to help your carry, whether it be by securing kills of keeping them alive. To add on to that, you carry isn't always going to be your ADC or your midlaner; it is the person that has the best chance of winning you the game. By playing support, you don't carry as much as you allow others to carry.
