Why Am I Still Not Winning?

Why am I not climbing up out of Bronze? I do well in games on an individual basis, so why am I not climbing up? Granted I can't win every game, but I'm stalled out in Bronze 3, jg main of Vi, Sejuani, and Volibear. Either we do well and then fall off, or someone feeds horribly, or someone leaves the game, or I end up screwing up early game, though I try not to. I'm a solo queue person who wants to climb out of Bronze and into Gold with the champs I like the feel of playing so I can get the Victorious skin. Not interested in learning complex champions, not interested in leaving the game to chain solo customs or watch VoDs of advanced players performing super-advanced tactics that would consume time I could be spending playing and having fun. Nor do I want to abandon ranked play to be screwing around all of the time in normals and ARAM, because then I don't get that sense of advancement or progress. And why hasn't any suggestion I've gotten so far particularly helped?

Ok... so you're in bronze, sorry to say but bronze is not about being a team player, when playing in the jungle its much harder to feed as then a laner. If you don't trust your team, play mid/top/adc if you do feel safe to play jg/sup. In bronze you must give off the impression the team is carrying themselves when really you are. If you start to lose or go on tilt, just dont think about time, because you're feeling a bit threatened every time you lose elo and that you might hit the bottom of the ladder

Just keep playing solo Q, as long as you maintain a 50.1% win rate you'll climb... slowly, sure, but if you play enough games eventually you'll get gold.

If you want to achieve a higher rank you need to improve yourself as a player and to do that you simply need just keep playing . Most people who are "better" than you have just played the game longer or made better use of their time playing the game. Change your mindset to playing to learn decision making, mechanics and to have fun instead of winning. You will be surprised what might happen.

Based on my experience on my smurf, it was the easiest to carry from an adc role. Cuz sometimes when I play jungle, even though I get the lane a kill or two, they will somehow die 1v1 even when they're ahead 2 levels or an item or two. So I tend to play a role where I can hard carry.
