As proven by Vapora's Elo Hell thread, if you can truly play at Gold level you should get out ezpz.
Yup. :>
These are my stats on what was a bronze 3 account with the only 3 champs I played.


( The Draven stats were better before the guy started playing on his account again )
Here's the full journey so you can see just how much of a stomp bronze is for a gold level player.

I'm also stuck in bronze, i got ranked bronze 3 after my initial seeding, and then the more i solo queued the worse the players got, so i've starting duo queue and even though it takes some time you start to work your way up. It's alot harder to climb if you are in solo queue though, and you are right about the ragers or the trolls who just want everyone to be stuck. Just remember they may be having a bad day also. Try to make the best of it and worst case scenario get very confident in normal queues and your solo, and wait for season 4, where i think everyone gets reseeded??

On the second point while dodging does get rid of a few LP if you get a team of trolls you are gonna lose anyway and you lose more LP for losing than you do for dodging so you can actually dodge if its a team of trolls and you know you won't win.
Ok, fair point, but what if you consistently land yourself in a team full of trolls? What, you're gonna dodge again? I think I've read somewhere that when you repeatedly dodge, the LP you will lose will keep on stacking until you find yourself at the bottom of your current division, eventually.
Anyway, back on track. Just because you find "trolls" in your team, doesn't mean you should automatically dodge. Just play it out, and who knows? Your team "might" push through the match.
If you're still losing ranked matches, stop. Recollect yourself, and practice in normal queues.
I was once in Bronze, but with enough practice, plus the guides they have on Moba, I've managed to sit in Silver 3.
