What currently makes me win most matches whilst in Bronze, is to stay positive and keep your team on the game by telling them what is the best to do.

This tactic works for me, because I have the knowledge to make decent calls, am charismatic enough (speechwise) to make people follow me in a way and make sure to play well enough so people believe in me. When this goes my way, I can make 5 random people run like a decent machine and we can laugh in all chat how they are flaming eachother endlessly, simply because noone is in control of their team. I try to take control immediatly, in champion select.

If the flaming is really overwhelming, or I can't justify my calls, I just stay quiet and focus on the game. No need to argue with them and if we lose, I make sure I do it peacefully.

If you arn't suited for this, or just lack the strategic/game knowledge, find the guy in your team that DOES have what it takes to lead the match and convince him and/or your team that he is suited for it. If you then win, it is as a steamroller machine, if you lose, you tried and you did what you could.

I also recommand to keep reflecting on your playstyle, keep finding your minor mistakes and refine them. I usually tend to miss a bit too much cs, or can't really find their carries as adc. I work on this and improve to get Gold or higher!
