You are bronze because you think that way. You look at others. You don't look at yourself. The moment you start looking at yourself and recognizing your own mistakes, and trying to improve instead of thinking you are already good and all that, you will climb a lot. Bronze is incredibly easy and you don't even need to be really good to climb out of it, you only need the right mentality and gotta be willing to learn and improve!
i guess u are right got anny tips for improving ? cause i want to get better believe me
Okay so what worked for me is never stop being a "student". I started playing ranked at something like Silver, and from there, I spent some time almost every day looking at champion guides, champion threads, streams (and please don't watch troll-ey streams like PhantomL0rd, you won't learn a lot, I recommend Nightblue, Meteos, Doublelift, etc. I also don't feel like I learn a lot when I watch Dyrus). Basically I lurked the NA forums every day and found lots of threads regarding how to counter x champ, "I main Irelia, ask me anything", "I reached Diamond only playing Veigar, AMA", etc. I read a lot and watched a lot of stuff. Then you just apply what you read and analize yourself.
Also, youtubers help a lot too. There's this guy called Gbay99 who taught me A LOT about the game when I was lower Gold or so (and never stopped watching his videos actually so I watch him ocasionally now). For example, whenever I played an assassin, I always ended up havin like a shitton of kills but ALSO a shitton of deaths (like 11-10-7, for example). That is just so bad and I hated it. After watching his videos and watching streams, I learned to be patient. It's not good to always look for a kill in lane, and instead, just waiting for your opponent to make a mistake/your jungler to gank is just SO much more worth it in the end. Not dying and just waiting for enemy mistakes is really worth it, and I'm still working on it.
With that said,
this is gbay99's channel. There are plenty of other channels that are also great for learning.
Now I got to Diamond 1 like 3 weeks ago and guess what? Even know I'm still learning. I still lurk the forums, watch streams to learn, and spectate high elo games (which sometimes have the same people I play with/against in my matches, but I don't care). Just never stop trying to improve.
Don't play ranked just trying to get lucky and win, actually try to improve to climb.
This is how I ended the pre-season yesterday, considering I started season 3 at high sillver/low gold I believe it's a pretty nice climb, and I'm trying to improve and climb even more - if it worked for me, and still works, it should work for you too.
