So the last 10 games have been my ranked provisionals. A few of these games i encountered many trolls that refused to cooperate, "duo top", and people that didn't understand that when they lose their lane the best thing to do is play very defensively. This placed me in bronze 4. Can anyone tell me why? It frustrates me much so.
:)

insaiyanbacca2 votesattempt to clime you can play shaco which is good in low elo due to the fact he can capitilize on mistakes just try and carry as much as possible and get out of bronze
Maclv1 votesThanks.
FistOfSharkiesha2 votesElo hell is most certainly real, it's all luck based. I can carry. I can take out 5 turrets. I can stack my Q perfectly with Nasus. I can get 0 ganks in my lane while surviving multiple ganks, 1v2/1v3, and yet my other laners somehow accomplish nothing while I'm fighting their entire team.
Just play your best and know how to do every role. If someone says they suck at ADC and good at the role you want, let them have it. It's better to call your preferred roles and let everyone pick the best role they're at before starting the champion select than claiming roles immediately or doing pick order. A mediocre jungler and a great ADC is better than a fantastic jungler and an ADC that feeds.

Your claim intrigued me! So I hopped over to op.gg and it just so happened that you had just begun a ranked game. So I spectated. And I can assure you wholeheartedly: you are not at your current rank because of bad luck. You fed really hard that game. You were 0/8/0 at 25:00, and ended the game at 5/13/7. You are kind of a Malzahar main, yes? For the whole laning phase, you shoved the waves at Akali but did nothing to harass her. Akali, who can do nothing in retaliation pre-6 except throw a half-damage Q so long as you stay out of melee range. When you roamed, it was without boots, and in fact you didn't buy any boots during the course of the entire 36 minute game.
Don't be tempted to blame it on Jax camping mid! I know it's likely that that's what you came away from that game thinking: effing camper Jax setting up a tent in mid. Don't. For one thing, if someone camps you and is successful, that's your fault. You have to be prepared for that possibility, otherwise it's just called "the enemy did exactly what they needed to do in order to win and I did not stop them." Getting camped is not an excuse for dying. But even aside from that, most of your deaths weren't from that. Out of your first 5 deaths, 2 were from Jax ganks. The others were: you tried to fight Jax and Akali in your jungle and lost; you roamed bot and flashed after a full health Jax by dragon even though their entire team was alive, and got collapsed on; and you got straight-up soloed by Akali for failing to respect her. Please watch the replay if you doubt me.
Don't blame it on lack of Udyr ganks either, because Udyr is not typically a heavy ganker and—as I pointed out earlier—you were pushing past river at every opportunity. He couldn't have ganked for you.
I realize I'm responding to someone who isn't the OP, but what I mean to say is that this kind of scrutiny is what you have to have if you want to figure out what's keeping you down. If you say that you always do fine and your team always feeds, you are necessarily ignoring the games where you do really poorly, and that's going to give you a great big mental block that says "I don't need to get any better." And then you won't.
Seriously though, watch that replay. I get that you probably do better than that, but that is because you play against other people who are also playing poorly. You make the same mistakes all the time, I bet—even in the games you win. You don't buy boots. You don't buy wards. You don't harass correctly. You overextend. You don't alter your playstyle when you're playing from behind. Watching replays (or getting critiqued) will help you.
BluePolarizer1 votesYou are feeding way too much as support and as a shaco jungle.
Shaco is extremely slippery and should always be ganking i.e. in a good situation. There is no reason you should die 5+ times. There are some junglers that can die 5+ times and still be good, Shaco is not one of them. Shaco needs to keep himself fed, but most importantly, also needs to keep the opposing team down.
You could be dying to either counterganking, or because ppl catch you when you are splitpushing. Try to work on ward/box placement for splitpushing and predicting enemy jungler locations for counterganking.
Xela Syab1 votesBro the real question should be: Do you enjoy playing the game? Elo doesn't matter even tournament players make mistakes or bad plays, just enjoy the game and get better at it. And to be honest with you there will always be trolls, noobs, noobs with op champs, noobs who panick pick random champs, guys who call random roles, people who dont practice a champ within a month and start ranked, people with dialup internet, people with 90's computers, people who have other shit to do in real life after hitting accept, and feeders in at least half your games. Then again I mostly play Aram and Draft Normals, there's way too many trolls in ranked to bother playing in it. Even if you want to play the game at a high elo then you'd experience the same crap AND 30 minute wait times. Seriously watch streams of pro players, you'll see the same bronze level behavior in challenger elo. Even Sneaky and Doublelift say they are still learning the game.
Hell I enjoy bot games where I can talk civily to other people just relaxing and farming ip or practicing than I've ever enjoyed even 1 freaking ranked match.
