"I can beat everyone." - Piglet,...

[quote=Teemoshy]I'm sorry my last post was snotty, but I got out of BV in like 3 weeks since I started trying by myself (my friend, though I really like him, has shat MMR). Just be positive with your teammates and try to direct the game. I've been starting my games recently by just telling everyone the we've got this game made. Confidence can help relieve others' doubts and help them not worry about their team feeding and it will help you with your own play as well. I'm only B4 right now so take my thoughts with a grain of salt but this is what I've been seeing.[/quote]

It's getting a solid W/L in Bronze 4 that's difficult. @Bigbox Have you tried playing Caitlyn?[/quote]

Did either of you start playing ranked as soon as you hit 30? That seems to be the biggest factor. I have seen it countless times where people rush into ranked at level 30 and get placed into bronze. No matter how much they improve as a player they never truly learn to carry their games and get into a spiral of blame and shame. As much as it might seem like it, I am not being condescending or putting either of you down. I'm genuinely pointing out my observations from actual friends.[/quote]

[quote=utopus]For me, the thing that held me back, when i was bronze in Season 2 was that I didn't know how to learn - it wasn't even learning to carry, I just wasn't seeing the mistakes I was making, lest make any effort to improve them[/quote]

I also pretty much hate this game with a fiery passion.[/quote]

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]The people that rush into ranked when they hit 30 are in B4, not B5. And you have a reasonable chance of entering ranked & getting one of them on your team. Its probably not THAT big a deal.[/quote]

And last season I played literally 20 games and didn't commit as hard as I am this season. I am aware of at least a decent portion of my mistakes, I just know I'm not hitting all of them. Which is why I was asking for a replay review here and on my thread.[/quote]

A vast majority of the players there are simply new and got in way over their heads by trying to play ranked. The other half are self absorbed assholes that think they don't belong there. A very small percentage of players exist in Bronze that understand that they belong to be there, but aren't entirely new to the game.[/quote]

[quote=BigBoxGamer]I started ranked just as soon I hit level 30 and got placed in Silver V and eventually dropped to Bronze II. Because, at one point I just sopped caring at all and just started giving up games and dropping elo on purpose because I was annoyed for the same reasons. I did this, because I assumed when the Season resets, your MMR completely resets as well and you have a brand new chance of getting placement.[/quote]
