I am literally defeated. I was gold last season and now I am bronze. I cannot no matter how well I do carry myself out. Look at my match history, prob 30% of my games someone leaves or feeds. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

In all of these games you are dying quite a lot (5+ deaths/game). Have you identified what is causing you to die in those scenarios? If not, start paying close attention to that and see if there is a way you can come out alive in those scenarios.

I also notice that you are very successful on bruisers/tanks like Maokai, Amumu, Mordekaiser, Nasus, and Jax, but you have a large pool of champs which you have only played a few times, and usually lost with. If you can try to secure your best role and pick a champion you are strong with. For me, once I started playing to my most comfortable champion archetype (ranged mages) I started winning a lot more because that playstyle fits me far better than the other champions I was trying to play. If I am forced to go into a role that doesn't allow me to play mages (jungle and adc) I have just one or two champions which I always refer back to that I know I can perform consistently with.

If you are interested in some hands-on coaching, please add me in-game. I would love to work with you and help you figure out what you need to do in order to improve.

Your KDA is good, and CS is reasonable, so objectives are probably bringing you down a bit.

Try to ward more, including pink wards. It will help you catch the enemy to get even more fed and/or take objectives. Help your team take dragons, and if they can't/won't, get your split push on. Make sure you are putting pressure on the enemy when you are ahead, whether that's through taking down towers, roaming to help your lanes, or catching people in the jungle.

You can win even 4v5 in Bronze if you have a strong split pusher because they will pretty much always try to stop you (even though they can just group push to win). Of course, you need to ward the side you're split pushing so you can decide whether to get away or kill whoever is coming.

this meta is very imbalanced.

I was plat 1 in June yet now I'm plat 5.

the juggernaut reworks, tank nerfs and rise of Vayne/Fiora % HP true damage is too crazy.

You need to play the most OP champ possible for your role to even stand a chance now.

I know the feeling man, just practice and read guides / strats and carry your heart out. Also, finding a consistent duo partner doesn't hurt. I was gold last season, placed in silver 1 after provisionals, dropped all the way down to silver 5, and climbed back up to gold 5. I'm just going to kind of sit here till next season and do normals. But its rough, and it get really annoying that no matter how well you do your team can ruin it. Just take breaks frequently. Don't let it get to you, if you feel like you are doing well and your scores are consistently decent (good KDA, farm, wards etc) then you will climb eventually. I also started to climb more when I stopped taking roles from people and started filling roles. Maybe its just me though, because I've practiced and researched all the roles.

I understand there is always something I can do to improve, yes I am sure I can get a duo partner and have much more success, which is prob what I will do because sadly. Solo queue is about as reliable as playing the lottery. That being said I am just at a loss how in solo queue with the nature of the community and the prevalence of this kind of negative player behavior that I am "ranked" accordingly. If someone goes 0 and 22 with 5 faerie charms I do not accept losing 29 points because of that.

I am sure I can win 4v5 pretty easily, the problem is 4v5 are almost never 4v5. If my team is down a player for whatever reason (leaving/trolling/just terrible) someone else on my team literally just gives up or joins them. Then it turns into a 5v3 which is nearly impossible to carry alone most times. Leavers are an issue to the point that it is skewing the ranked system at silver/bronze. My match history can reflect this, and I am not the only person dealing with this obviously.

I generally fill roles because if you pick a role someone else wants, for me its a 50/50 if they just troll or give up before the game even loads. I mean this kinda shit is unbearable now. And also yes everyone who analyzes every death they have can do better always, this is true of anyone and applies to everyone so its kinda a moot point. The problem is I cannot control when 2-3 people just fucking quit. Avoiding 3-4 deaths on my part will not change 2-3 people leaving or quitting before game even starts, causing me to lose a game I didn't even start yet.
