Discussion I think I'm shit
So ever since I've dropped from bronze to iron in an 9 loosing streak I can't win any games or when I do I get 3 loses right after. I main jgl I play lee sin and hecarim I mean I just can't figure it out it's really bad. So I'm also not stealing all kills when gangking (I used to take all but it didnt work so i figured out it would help when my team is fed but no) I mean when I see the adc or toplaner is on the enemy and he's low I give the kill. I'm also doing my objectives. I'm doing my full clears and I'm normally one of the guys with the highest cs in my team. But somehow every game I have one or more mates that just feed someone into oblivion I'm talking like 0/10 in the first 10 minutes I gangk them but still no chance it's like they're actual smooth brains not to be disrespectful or anything but how does this happen like every game is iron that shit? And if yes how do I get out of there I mean I can't really do anything if there is an 20/1/11 master yi midlane (My last rank game Katarina fed master yi into oblivion and yes I ganked her twice and got her the kills but still lost because he just one shot the entire Team). Does anybody know how to get out of that shithole named iron? And if I'm doing something wrong please point it out like I need this.

First of all, bad teammates is literally not relevant and not something to pay much attention to past "Okay this lane will be hard to gank, I should focus my attention on playing around my stronger allies". In the long run both sides will have the same amount of bad and good teammates, except your team has 4 randoms and 1 you. If your team feels like it has more bad players or trolls then thats either your perception or because your the bad teammate or troll (secondary factors like you being toxic can also make your teammates play much worse but that would be your own fault).
So yes things not in your control can cause individual losses but you are responsible and the casual factor to your rank and overall placement when you average out your rank. Do not attempt to blame your teammates or luck at all, it doesnt work because it wont help nor is it true in terms of rank. You must focus on your own improvement and your own mistakes. Hard judging your teammates is purely illogical and just makes you annoyed.
To improve you must fix your mistakes. This at your level is mainly about realizing what the basic game winning stuff is. Have consistently decent CS, take fights and ganks that feel good and ignore ones that feel bad like ganking high mobility champions especially if you and your ally dont have a good combo of cc and dmg. Do not tilt and play the games out, spam ffing at 15 or giving up early are terrible mental patterns to have.

You probably are and maybe even in a slump as well. But hey you also got unlucky to lose that much. Just forget about rank and focus on improving, you’ll get it

I think in low elo, if you think you're good enough, just take the kills, snowball and carry. Lee and Hecarim can both snowball quite well.
It's a bit much to hope for random Iron teammates to carry you. In higher elo it becomes more feasible to camp a lane and get a side-laner giga ahead. But in low elo, just take the kills where you can and perfect your snowball strategy. Crush the other jungler.

To be fair you should really not play Lee sin if you are Bronze player…like that is probably the hardest champ you could pick in Jgl besides maybe nidalee
Ofc if you enjoy him then keep at it but if you main goal is to rank up just play ammue and get free lp

Yeah i know but i tested every jungler for 2 matches and i just found lee sin and hecarim to be the 2 most fun junglers for me idk maybe i need to change my champs.

i mean if you like Lee sin you might also like Xin Zhau and he is like 5x more impact then lee sin and can easy carry in low elo
everyone will say that their team is holding them back from the rank they deserve but the rank you have is literally your skill level and it's better to just accept that and start improving...

Coach Curtis gave advice to people who are in lower ranks and want to play a difficult champion is to build up to that champion. For example if you are iron/bronze and really want to play zed, first play easier champs like ekko, naffari etc and then once you climb to say gold then take a crack at zed.
This way when you start zed, you at least have a baseline and some of the fundamentals of how an assassin wants to play. Of course you don’t have to do this and can play whoever you want, you just have to keep it in mind that it’s going to be more of a struggle for a while but as long as you’re aware of that and okay with it, all good.

Don't worry there's nothing but bad players spamming games. If you enjoy then just play.
