So, I've been playing LoL for a year now, and I still can't manage to get out of bronze. I really don't understand how to do it because there seems to always be bad players, afk's, or just facing pro smurfs. Any tips would be appreciated and feel free to add me in-game (gftho).

Good day, gftho.
There are bad players, trolls and afkers in every ranked tier – from bronze to diamond. Try to ignore such players and stay calm. Play more normal games so you can improve your basic skills (last hitting, map awareness and main objectives) with different roles, try to pick your main champions (role) and focus on your performance with them. With your current statistic it will be hard to get out of bronze.
I wish you to become a better player and good luck

"with your current statistic"? what do you mean by that?

It means one of two things or both of the following things:

1) You're bad at the game.

2) Your LP gains will be clamped, which means you will have a hard time climbing the ladder until you can win SIGNIFICANTLY more than you lose, which is impossible, since you lose a lot more than you win. In other words, you pretty much deserve to be where you are.

Don't worry about other players. Just improve your own gameplay and just mute everybody when the game starts.

If you're playing for a year and you still can't get out of bronze it means you probably play on bronze level. Don't be angry, it's not an insult - every player had to work his/her way up, no one is born a pro. Elo hell is a myth: statistically, trolls and afkers can only improve your winrate (maybe just make playing less fun). If you're good enough, you will eventually rise, just play a lot; if you're not good enough, work on it, because you're not good enough YET - with some more experience you will get silver and higher.

PS I looked you up on Lolking and it seems you're playing support the most, and unfortunately that's the worst role for carrying yourself out of bronze. Try playing other roles more or just play carry-like supports: Annie, Fiddlesticks etc. Going duo with a buddy helps too!

I would try to focus on improving your solo game play like last hitting, focusing objectives, and especially map awareness and most bronze level players do not watch the map and it results in easy kills for the enemy team. Whenever you see a free dragon open, make sure to take it with your team as it gives global gold. I recommend for you to focus on carry roles like jungle, mid, or ad carry as they have much larger potential to carry then the supports you have been mostly playing.
If I helped you please leave me a +Rep.
