Why do people try so hard to not get carried in bronze?

Is it a sort of mentality thing where they think they have something to prove? Or do they do it on purpose?

And I'm not referring to the typical rager who does it on purpose. I mean the ones that keep trying to 1v4 when the enemy is around half health with baron buff or wandering into the enemy jungle alone. Not to ward. Just taking a stroll into Vayne and Fizz.

Why do they resist the win?

Many reasons 1)They believe they are better than the rank they are, so they decide to help themselves to try to carry themselves (farm, take blue buff as ashe, split push by themselves , etc) 2)They don't understand map awareness and single mindedly go for what they see (huge wave, enemy camps, etc) 3)They gave up on you and try to win the game themselves (because admit it, you've probably done some stpd sht)

Why does it matter? Its bronze. Pick any champion and proceed to 1v5. I've won games as jungle draven and ad soraka in bronze lmao

They are told that the only way to win games is to carry themselves, so they will take greater risks because they think they can't rely on their teammates to win. They never learn to be carried because they are told by diamond+ streamers that that will leave them stuck in bronze their whole life.

The carry complex.

Sorry but its not their fault that they don't know the proper steps to take in order to win the game. Bronze is arguably the lowest level of league of legends gameplay so how can you expect to learn alot from your games if there are countless reasons you've lost your games? If players don't know what they did wrong, they can't understand their mistakes. Its not their fault that they seem like they "don't want to be carried" but rather, they don't know what do.

It happens in gold as well. Had a game last night where our jg lee sin would go in on every Q, regardless of if he had backup, how many enemies there were, etc... None of that was taken into consideration. I think he died 19 times that game... I honestly don't even think he was trolling, he was just really really bad.

I don't know why but i've seen them. I was duoing on my smurf with a bronze 5 friend, was 11-0-1 in lane as zed, and a team fight broke out near dragon. and our top lane for some reason decided to TP top to clear a wave DURING the fight, and our ADC Lucian went to farm bot because "there was a huge wave", leaving me, and my duo jungler(granted he isn't very good), and the support in a 3v5.

The 3 of us died after i killed 3 of them, then the Lucian decided that "OOPS I should go clean up" and went 1v2 and for some reason died without killing either one......

it was a nightmare.

Is there a way to teach them how to win?
