Bronze is all about mindset. As long as you can be patient with your teams and encouraging instead of flaming them you will get out of bronze. Choose champions you are good at - no matter how redundant it feels its the best way to climb ladder. In bronze anything is possible - so if you're behind don't ff. I've witnessed some crazy comebacks! All about positivity.

The time you decide to queue ranked also plays a significant part. Being on NA, try to queue around time when school is in session (8 AM to 12 PM your time).

Also don't queue after 12 AM, because all the oceanic players will be on the NA server. You will see a lot of AFK and DC's at this time.

there are a few ways:

-just improve everything in general

  • pick a late game champ like vayne and just cs until you can kill everyone and be able to kite
  • split push (pick someone strong top that can win most 1v1) and either get the towers or force more than one person to your lane
  • pick an early game champ and snowball hard and spread the wealth around by helping your team

there a more ways, but asking kind of a vague question gets a vague answer. one last thing: if you play at a silver level, you will get silver after enough games.

The two most important things to learn in bronze is warding and cs'ing. Looking through your match history it appears that you don't ward much, even when you were playing support your ward numbers were fairly low. Don't underestimate the value of warding because it helps a lot with avoiding stupid deaths and making good decisions. CS'ing is the other main thing to look towards. You cs numbers are fairly low especially for your game time. Don't forget that 20 cs is a kill and is far safer to get as well. It can be far more beneficial to get a 10 cs and level lead then trying to trade a 1 for 1 kill. Other than that its mostly just a grind to learn match ups and better mechanics. It takes a lot of time especially if your new, to grind out of lower elo's. Watching pro matches and streams can also help you get better.

Honestly, I don't even need to give you a paragraph for this. Find someone that is matched with your role and champions here http://www.lol-coaching.com/ and see if you can get a coach to evaluate your play-style and help you.

sure im bored:

1.Your CS needs a major overhaul. Your average cs on all your champs is around the average cs on my junglers... This should never be esp on top, mid, and adc roles. Practice CS and make sure you focus cs over kills considering a kill is like 10-15 cs. 2. Your wards are better than most but make sure you are buying pots everytime you back. You should only be backing if you can either buy a large item or you aboso have to. Either way make sure you spend alot of your money and never go back to lane with like 800+ gold because your saving. 3. Poke, to many players allow their lanners to overextend without punishment. Poke the enemy with an auto or skill everychance you get, without losing cs.

if you actually read this ill post more haha

  1. work on your cs
  2. map awareness - so like, not solo roaming at 45th minute unless you either have escapes, are tanky or know where the enemy team is

and that's basically it.

best way to work on them separately is play adc to work on cs, and play top lane with TP to work on map awareness. also, you can start an empty custom game and just cs for like 5-10 minutes

the two points are extremely broad i'll admit, but it honestly just takes a lot of experience and self reflection to start ironing out the more minor flaws in your play and i'd have to write ten essays outlining everything if i wanted to describe it all.

stay full hp in lane, only trade when its 100% safe and only poke when its 100% free. dont die for your allies ever and dont die for pickoff kills. also, dont try to force kills or objectives, only take these that present themselves where you sit back and think "damn good thing this guy isnt on my team".

Play Sion if you want to climb. You'll be fucking bitches up like there's no tomorrow. Good lane bully, not quite as good as renek or darius, but the ass load of utility you'll bring is fucking insane. I was losing every game I played until I started playing Sion. I never had even played him in normals. Was just like yolo and I've won every game I've played (only 5 but fuck it Ive almost climbed from bronze 4 to bronze 2 [50 lp b3 atm] just from playing Sion, cho, and Maokai cause I had to supp).

Pros:

  1. You get rewarded just for getting last hits so no more of that 60 cs at 20 mins you need that fucking 500 health.

  2. Fucking glory in death. Dying as Sion is the most joyful death experience in the game. When you die to your lane opponent in a gank, you don't start going on tilt, you're just fucking happy for no reason whatsoever, OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT YOU CAN COME BACK TO LIFE AND DANCE IN THEIR FACE. Not to mention I've snagged my fair share of double kills and flashes from passive.

  3. The fuck load of cc and damage you'll bring just from being full tank is unbelievable. Need to peel for your ADC? You have all the tools in the world. 3 out of 4 abilities bring some form of cc. Feel like running in and fucking up their team? Do that as long as you got a Leona or someone peeling for ADC.

  4. "Oh shit. Their mid lamer is coming to fuck me up." ult through all cc they use 'Pce out Bitches' is one of the best escape, and best engage abilities in the game. Your team getting fucked down mid lane? Ult in there and turn that shit around. Your ult has such a low cooldown late game you can sometimes use it multiple times in a long team fight.

Don't win by carrying. Win by making their carries useless against your carries. when you play Sion, YOU ARE THE FUCKING BRICK WALL BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH OF YOUR CARRIES.

Take care of your bricks

EDIT: two 1's and no Cons because Sion is just that bad ass

Look.. I'm unranked but I'm going to give you a tip that has helped me become better. Practice CSing. It's the most legitimate way to build a lead over your lane opponent(s). I think a good avg is somewhere around 6-8 per minute of gameplay.
