Ranked hell

Hello everyone. I don't normally come to the borads but I've finally have had enough of ranked. First off let me say when I first started ranked I got into silver V. And I was pretty happy with that. But then the afkers striked. Every other game or so there would always be one. Every time I lost I would take a break and get back on. But it didn't matter if I lost a game and then win right after cause it would take away 27 LP and if I won id get 15. I don't see how that's fair. Then a while later I was in Bronze 3...and now there are less afkers and a shit ton of people that suck. Now I'm not saying that I'm the best but on average I have the highest score since I've entered bronze. And we have a problem if I'M carrying... I shouldn't have to carry a lot of games anyways. So in all the only reason I lost my way all the way to bronze is do to other people. Yes I have my times when I don't do good but I still get a better score then the rest of my team. There's always a guy that just types " this team" or "so bad" even though they suck too. Even though I get terrible teammates I still never say mean shit to them or tell them they are bad. But there is always a guy who spends more time shit talking his team rather than help. So I wanted to ask some of the higher ranked people their opinions about this and if they ever felt like they've experienced something similar and how they got out of it. Because I think I'm gonna stay in Bronze if I don't stop getting bad teammates.

im going to tell you right now, there is only 1 way out of bronze. high impact chars with good aoe. annie, graves, lucian, nautilus, gnar, ect. main 1 champ in each role, good match, bad match, it doesnt matter, if you are better with 1 champ, you will rise. to a point in mid-high silver where you have people more frustrated with being close but not having a cigar, like graves.

A lot of people blame "other people" for them staying in the ELO they are currently in, but the players you are talking about are on both teams. You're not getting unlucky and always being put on the team with worse players, you just remember the bad games more than you remember the good games (see confirmation bias).

The only way to climb the ladder is to focus on your play, and your play alone. Try to find ways you can improve, and focus on making those improvements. Don't let other people get to you, just try to stay positive and think about what you should be doing next in each game you play.

And I'm also not sure if I posted this in the right place either. It's my first time actually doing something on the borads in general

Bronze is basically solo carry is your best bet. Even up to mid-high silver like Annie stated. Finally noticed on the silver 1/gold 5 border I am having more consistent teams and games and focusing on matchups, team comps, and other things is playing a larger impact.
