Hey all. Thank you for reading this post as I am truly thankful for anyone out there that actually gives a rat's ass.

I made a post before asking tips on how to get out of Bronze back when I was in B3. Now I am in B1 and honestly I don't think if it's even worth it to go on. Most people were helpful and offered to play with me and help me to improve, but right now I feel like that doesn't even work anymore.

You probably hear this from every low-ELO player, but what they say is true. You may not realize it because you are possibly in a higher league or just haven't experienced this 40 minute mental hell, but sometimes I feel like my teammates are brain-dead and it's up to me to carry a 5 man game.

When I die, I blame my team and then realize that "oh, that was mb on my end" or "wow what i did was just plain stupid." Believe me I've done that. But there are just moments where you KNOW that it's not your fault and you're trying to do everything possible to try to carry the game. I refrain from raging at my teammates but kindly give them tips, but that may only get you so far.

I'm honestly at a dead end here. Just got to B1 and lost 2 games (or was it 3?) at 0LP, pretty sure I'm going to have to reclimb the ladder again. I just don't feel like I should suffer the consequences for something that I don't deserved to be punished for. Is it really worth climbing back up?

No way do I deserve to be in Gold, but I just feel like I get punished so unfairly sometimes.

Tell me your Bronze-Hell stories and how you managed to climb out. I need some motivation LeeSin item 3070 item 3070 item 3070

Trust me, I've played in numerous divisions and it is all the same. I'm at gold 3 right now and was in series for platinum last season.. You get games where, like you said, you KNOW you did'nt do anything wrong but you still end up losing. Or even when you get super fed but your team doesn't know what grouping is, not getting caught and you end up losing the game anyway. You get those alot but you have to stay motivated and tell yourself, you're better than that. Upgrade your play-style and focus on not getting caught out. Depending on the champion you play.. Positionning is key. I had a game today as Caitlyn and we were losing but we had a fight at dragon and my positionning was great. I ended up acing with a quadra and pushing to victory. Yet we had a brain dead top and jungle. Tell yourself you can always win, even if you're behind.

It is probably harder then it ever was to solo carry a game these days. I have had a couple matched recently where I had 29 or 30 kills as graves or caitlin and we nearly lost. I agree with the positioning comment. No matter what role you are playing, try to make sure you position well, always add to the vision effort for the teams sake, and make sure you are good at every role. You can win the game for your team even as support!!

What would be a good example of positioning?
