User blog comment:Satoriis/How to Carry Bronze in Season 4/@comment-5452871-20140227161820

No real questions it seems but I'll toss some random comments regarding what people are saying:

It is absolutely the best way out of bronze to just win your placement matches. However if, like me for example, you had 2 afkers in 3 of your 5 placement matches it makes it rather difficult. Still possible but difficult.

Regarding the "since there are no tanks burst is op, everyone does it" comment - not really. Most people build stupid stuff - like sustained damage on tanks instead of HP items. They don't actually build burst. There's a very big difference between a liandry's / rylai's kat and a deathcap / dfg kat ;) )(Yes I have seen that before in bronze btw). People don't know how to build for sh*t in bronze.

Regarding tier lists like nerfplz's:

They're roughly 50% accurate at best. Keep in mind the players writing these tier lists are in an mmr / elo much, much higher than your own. What works there won't always work here. For example good luck playing "god tier ziggs" in bronze.

Regarding unwinnable games:

It's true. Some games are unwinnable. However that is true for every single other player in this game as well. On average you will get just as many afkers / trolls / ragers as anyone else. If you're getting more, it's because you are toxic. If you want to leave bronze, you need to stop being toxic. I put this in bold because many bronze players are unaware of this.

I would guess that MAYBE 5% of games you play are "unwinnable". Tops. No matter what mmr you are (unless you're on the league equivalent of prisoner's island, in which case i'd suggest just rolling a new account). ((Prisoner's island, AKA ELO hell, is losing about 50 games in a row after being 0 points in bronze 5. It's hard, but doable.... especially if you're doing it on purpose...))

Regarding silver being harder to carry than bronze, and gold being harder to carry than silver:

Well of course! As you go up in divisions players will get smarter, be more skilled and have faster reaction time. You are ascending the ranks to the top %s of the ENTIRE NORTH AMERICAN SERVER once you hit plat. If you want it to get easier or stay the same, just settle for whatever division you're in now and play for fun. Me, I like the challenge of constantly setting the bar higher for myself. My objective this season is plat 3 in 5s. I'll be working on that over the next 2 weeks.

If anyone else has any questions / comments please toss em' up. Thank you so much for the interest :D I'll write the second part of this blog post thanks to the interest garnered in the comments section :) It'll be online by tonight at 10 PM EST.
