How to get the hell out of bronze?

Johnaldinho1017··1 votes·1,342 views

So I have been playing league since about 5 months ago when my friends convinced me to start. I don't the ranked system very poorly made to say the least. I started playing ranked and had a rude awakening to how people on their were better then normals and tried to win a lot more. So I started playing and quickly fell to bronze five.item 3070 Now I've improved a lot and have gotten pretty good with Diana if I say so myself. So when I'm playing Diana or malphite my other main I win the majority of my games. But aside from that things go very poorly especially when I play adc because well i just can't work with some of the supports that I have I just can't seem to get synergy with them yet when I play with my support friends I do very well. So my question is how can I get out of bronze I win the majority of my games but with the mmr system in place I can't seem to win enough in a row to get up a league. Well I'm in b4 now not b5. So I'm just looking for any tips or suggestions on how I personally could get out of where I am it's frustrating to be stuck in bronze as im sure it is for many people and i want to know how do you escape. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated 👍

there is one simple way to get out of bronze: play better than bronze.

if you play at a silver level, you will slowly climb. if you play at a plat level, you will quickly climb. if you play at a bronze level, you won't climb. people think it's a trick or something, but every less mistake you do increases you chance of climbing.

if you want to know some things to work on:

csing, map awareness, few to no deaths, make sure runes and masteries are good and there are more, but way to many to really go over in a short time.

I mean like I said I win the majority of my games and I am slowly climbing but it seems like whenever I get close something throws me off and ill fall back down whether it's connection issues or whatever it happens to be and im not trying to be cocky but I think I'm at least silver skill level at least now anyway not when I started ranked because overall I usually win lane and i don't feed unless it's an extremely rare occasion so overall im decent I do have areas I need to improve in such as cs and warding

well, if it's connection issues, you might want to get that fixed since I know how annoying that can be. if you work on the areas that you need to improve on like csing and warding, it might make up for other problems a bit. as long as you keep playing, you should be able to get silver I believe if you are at that level.

best of luck.

37% winrate isnt even close to the majority of your games looking at your solo queue ranked history I would say you are maybe worthy of B3 or B2. You need to be above 50% to climb.

If you want you can add me I can spectate your games and tell you what you can improve on specifically.

Its true, it'll come to you, just watch youtube vids of guides, read guides on champs you wanna learn to play. Play a lot of Aram to learn about other champions (helps to know). When you play take less risks, learn to capitalize on the enemies mistakes. Getting out of bronze is both very hard and very easy. Yes in Bronze you tend to get a not so great team who might fed, are toxic, dont listen to advice, dont know when to do what etc. But there is also the chance the enmy team is the same, if you focus on your play you will learn to take advantage of those mistakes.

However, remember that even the best in the world only have on average 60% win rate, so even they lose 4 out of every 10 matches they play. Its ok to lose, after you lose a match and even after you win one think about what you did right and what you did wrong. Even while playing when you die think about how, if yo ucan, it could have been avoided or done better. Eventually it will come to you and you will start to climb.

Play OP champions. Or keep doing what you do and hope you have decent teammates

That barely works. All op champs are either banned or picked by others who then proceed to feed with them. There's really no way to get out of bronze

You will rarely see a Riven or Irelia ban. Thank me later.

Riven jungle, mid, or top. Doesn't matter. If you play her right you can snowball and end the game before the other team can even build their second item.

Other advice: Duo with a person who is as good as you if not better. That way you have guaranteed one less idiot on your team.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea I just need to find someone to do it with

Having a Duo partner tends to place you against higher MMR teams. Be sure you are actually ready to play out of your current MMR before you do this.

I'm always up for some ranked. As a support main, I'll make plays, ward, and you just take the kills and towers.
