I climbed easily to Bronze 1 from Bronze 4, but now i keep getting back to bronze 2. Once I get demoted I easily carry and climb to Bronze 1 again, but I just can't win in Bronze 1. The teammates are much worse than Bronze 2 or 3, for some reason and unlike in lower divisions first pick always instalocks mid or top, and i can't play my main lanes. I guess everyone in Bronze 1 wants to be Silver, so they behave like assholes (rage, lock lanes that are already taken, play for kills instead of helping the team, etc...) I'm currently on Bronze 2 in promos, I already won 1 game and i'm sure to get back to Bronze 1 today. Any tips on Bronze 1?

just a small thing, when you're playing support, once you get item 2049 swap out for a item 3341 and it's a good idea to upgrade to item 3364 by around level 11 or so.

If you don't get your lane, just play passive, CS well, stay positive, and group early.

I climbed to B1 as support, and then pummeled down to B3 cos I can't play another lanes.

So now I'm forced to learn other roles and getting better at it slowly. Climbing against slowly, once again.

You yoyo in B1 like that because you capitalize on B4 errors to snowball. Everytime you get a kill or another gain, take the time to think if that gain was due to your own skill or if the opponent could have done something better to avoid it.

A quick example of this : You hide in a bush in the river waiting for an opponent to roam by and kill him. You are losing gold and experience waiting in that wet bush in the middle of nowhere. That's bad, unless a random B4 player decide that he will cross the river without vision nor proper risk assessment. You kill him. You win the game. You're the king of the bronzies with your awesome strats. But as soon as your opponents stop walking randomly into the river, it stop being any good and you end up losing exp and gold for no proper reason.

That's most likely your problem, you need to review your play still and find out where you invest time and ressources into catching someone who do an obvious mistake. Because as you land in B1 that guy might just as well no exist in your game anymore.

tip 1- stop blaming team mates tip 2- stop sucking and actually carry the game tip 3- all the usual generic bullshit (ward better, cs better, blah blah)
