In Bronze, I suspect you want killers. For example, to get from Silver IV to Silver II (I know this is an awful comparison since the Tiers are different but the idea remains the same) I did jungle mainly and played Nocturne. The enemy teams would hardly ward and I would get my team fed or I got fed. This was, of course, before the popularity of Xin and Jarvan. So, you might want to play junglers who have a lot of CC and can carry (Jarvan and Xin come to mind). Kat is also great since solo queue has a hard time dealing with snowball assassins.

So here are a few things to keep in mind when you select a champ:

1.) Can it kill? You want a champ that can kill.

2.) Does it have CC or so much burst that CC isn't necessary? CC helps a lot or massive burst will lower the morale of the enemy team after you nuke your laner several times.

3.) Can it push? You want a champ that can take down towers since tower mean everything.

4.) Can it take a lot of damage? You need to survive everything that will come at you. Hence, fighters.

If the champ you pick has at least two of those, you have a chance. Going back to Jarvan, he has (1), (2), (3) and (4).

TL;DR: Play pubstompers with low skill caps. Don't waste your time learning complex champs, just play something simple and stompy.
