Game: League of Legends (It's free!)

You curse bronze when you're the one who put yourself in there, the first thing i told my little cousins when they hit 30 was NOT to play ranked. Pretty sure my tip to farm and trade was relevant as well, they're both major aspects of the game that low elo has no grasp on. Improve those and you'll be carrying games regardless of how the other lanes did.

I think i said this before but i found it harder to carry from silver to gold than i did from gold to platinium, but there's nothing you can do besides work on the fundamentals and try to lead your team to victory.

I've also made the mistake of choosing to specialize in bot lane. I normally play pretty aggressive as both adc and support, but unfortunately this doesn't work well in bronze soloq when you don't even know if your partner is going to follow up. Also, it doesn't matter how fed I get as an adc, if my team doesn't know how to peel for me, I can still die instantly, as opposed to, say, a fed Jax or Akali. That's really one of the main reasons I mostly play Tristana. I can play safer and not rely on my team at all.

All things considered equal, I don't think there's much of a skill gap between high bronze and mid silver. Most of my lane opponents are silver. The only difference as far as I can tell is there are more wildcards in bronze that determine wins and losses. Whichever team has the derpiest teammate loses. It's always hard to adjust for bad teammates in a game, because when I have good teammates, I can make a play, and count on my team to be in the right place at the right time to follow up, everything just synergizes well. This just compounds to the frustration when I try to make a similar play in soloq and, lo and behold, several teammates die stupidly because dickbag is farming wolves or some shit.
