I was addressing this statement



It's not a flame. If you can't carry games in your elo you don't deserve to climb.

Your teammates that aren't playing well don't have potatoes for brains, they're just people around your skill level. They could be having a good or bad game, or just suck at league. I have a friend who's in their last year of residency who's legit bronze 4 at league. Unless league of legends is your job, it's ok to be bronze.

You main velkoz? Why not playing him mid? Way better carry potential.

Honestly if you have ANY competitive drive, I do not think it's okay to be bronze any longer than 3 months.

There's just too much advice, replays, information available on this 7 year old game that can be utilized to climb out of bronze, even if you have a busy schedule.

I started League 2 years ago with a full time job, an ongoing fitness journey, and active social group. Climbed outta bronze in 1.5 months.

If a casual like me can do it, anybody with some actual motivation can too.

Kinda agree with this. We have a guy in our friend group from d2 that plays more than professional streamers ( literally like 12+ hours a day every day) and is still in low-mid bronze. There's just too much information out there for that shit.

Nobody in bronze looks at replays or ways to improve their own gameplay. Just look at OP, stuck in ELO heck cause of his potato brain retard teammates. Once they start focusing on what they can do to better themselves, they begin to climb naturally.

Play top or mid so you have more influence on the game. If you play top tell ur bot lane to ward so u can flank to
If you are mid try to roam top/bot whenever their lane is pushing in.

I'd also suggest spamming one champ.

I watch replays quite a bit and have already mentioned the steps I take to focus on me and improve MY skills. And I'm not stuck, I've climbed to bronze two twice in the past month, which is the highest I've been. Check my op.gg (SonataNumber14), I'm not a bad player for being a bronzie.

I have a good win rate on the champions I main/spam. My complaint is how much LONGER it takes than it should to climb because of how many potatoes there are playing ranked.

That's a good point. I secondary queue as mid, simply because I like to think that I can keep our adc from feeding if I'm laning with him. Now I know that's not the case, so I will probably switch to mid primary.

But..bronze is so easy lol. You can literally dictate and predict all of their actions. It's like playing a middle schooler in chess.

You probably drag the average mmr too high.
