I got put into bronze 4 this season. Sad face but ill just have to try to climb. I climbed my way to bronze 2 then down to bronze 3. For some reason every game someone is 7 mins late to the game and then feeds a lot of kills and allows a lane to free farm. This is creating a significant problem in me carrying. I play brand just about everywhere. The only time I change is when im countering someone. I usually win my lanes. My creep score is usually between 180-260 a game if im the carry. Can't see it on lolking cause I play support brand as well.

I must be doing something wrong. People are always posting that they carried with 1 champ from bronze to gold in so many # of games with a smurf. Why can't I carry like plat smurfs do. I don't understand what they are doing that I'm not. I tried everything. Is mid not a position to carry a game from. I watch gold streams and play with my gold friends and do great. In draft I do amazing. In ranked I do great. But in ranked there's trolls, feeders, and afkers. These are not something I experience in draft or custom games. How do I carry them out. I roam, I win lane, I contest dragons, I ward, I take towers. I'm lost. I don't know what else to do. I have even watched my own games to see if I can figure out what im doing wrong. If you could help me that would be great. I really need it.

First off, the fact that you're pinning everything on circumstances you can't control rather than evaluating YOUR performance is a red flag. If you're bronze, and you can't get out, you're there for a reason. Now based on what you're saying you might as well be diamond, because you seem to be flawless. However, I suspect things may not be as smooth as it seems. Also, the line "But in ranked there's trolls, feeders, and afkers" is a HUGE red flag. Your chances of getting these types of people are just the same as the smurfs, yet they manage to win regardless. I don't have time to go more in depth right now, but feel free to add me and I'll try to see what you're doing wrong.

I have evaluated my performance. I also try to improve wherever I can. I understand everyone has the same chance to get afkers. So far mines hovering around 45 percent. NOt the whole game though. They are afk long enough for their lane to free farm to level 6 before they rejoin and die 12 times. I need to know what skills I need to be able to win regardless of that. Smurfs carry trolls afker and feeders all the time. How do I get that ability. I need to know what im doing wrong so I can fix it and carry trolls afkers and feeders myself.

I just want to be good enough to carry myself out. I can't figure out what else I need to improve.

i can't really help since i don't play brand really or mid. in general though, it's not about how much cs you get by the end of the game since it can be a 50 minute game with only 300 cs which doesn't say anything at all. good cs is about 90 cs in 10 minutes, 180 to 200 cs in 20 minutes.

not sure what you really need to work on since i haven't seen you play, but one thing that helps is reducing deaths to 0 or at least figuring out how you could have (and always blame yourself for them). some deaths are worth it, but still figure out how you could get 0 a game.
