How to get out of bronze as a solo player?

Is it even possible,? All I get is 1 win 1 loss 1 win 1 loss etc etc etc.
I am stuck in bronze forever it seems....

You have to bust your ass a lot more, and are probably going to have to carry your team a lot more frequently to pull it off. There's no way an AI Matchmaker is going to be able to reliably give you good teammates regularly... To be honest you'll probably get more bad teammates then good solo queuing up more then anything.

Dont play DPS go for tank or heal

You are a lucky person! I get loss loss loss loss WIN loss loss loss loss. Bronze is nothing different from Quick Play. Only got outta Bronze III today.
I try to pick whoever is needed for the team too.

Not really smart thing to say since it's a team game.

Yeh I mainly play tanks as I said

[Karnarax]

They need to raise level to be able to access Ranked to like 20 or something - 10 is WAY too low

You want the absolute, cheesiest way to rank up? Play the cheese hero. Do they like to group up/ Moon Knight. Backlines a problem? Ironfist. Team not healing you when you need it most? Peni, not Venom. Need to win a tiebreaker? Absolutely Doctor Strange.

Otherwise you need to coordinate with your team. It's not a one man job, cheese can only get you so far. For example, since you main Doctor Strange, ask someone to go Rocket Raccoon and get them to place their BRB somewhere in the enemy backlines after you teleport them. Not only you get the ambush benefit, but when someone dies they'll be RIGHT back into the action. I fought this comp and it's scary how aggressive they can be when it feels like it got turned into a 10v5 out of nowhere, when someone died they get right back into the action right away.

Find out who works really well with Strange and try to get the team to work with you.

honestly if you're stuck in bronze you probably belong there and need to work on your "skills" more but if you're looking for a tank to carry you out of bronze you're gonna have to learn to play venom , your goal is give the supports or dps a hard time , then you swing out on blue health and heal up and just constantly repeat the cycle if a support like mantis or luna pops their ult you swing out immediately then go back in after its done

Basically this ^ You have to literally play as you are 2 or even 3 players combined in 1.

I play only SOLO Q but I can tell you from my perspective that I hate Captain America in my team. His shield is not that strong, nothing about him is THAT crazy. He seems to do okay if there is a second tank but solo? Don't think so.

Strange is way better or even Venom, Peni Parker and Magneto. Groot is really good too.

As for losing games, in PLAT I had 12 lose strike so...

You just have to take that Defeat and just move on because believe me you will have some good decent games and some crappy where your team will feel like is being made of bots.

Just need to communicate with your team, I went from Bronze to Gold III and stopped cuz all I really want is the skin. And always be willing to flex, you won't get very far trying to one-trick pony (imo anyway.) Learn at least 1 (preferably 2, cuz if someone takes the character you learned you're SoL) character for each role you should be flexible at all times.

Don't trash talk your team even if they're trash talking. That just destroys team work and makes every thing worse. Be the better person and ignore them and continue to try and help them and work as a team. When your team does well tell your team they did good, encourage them and be kind. Try to make call outs on your mic, if you don't want to speak at the very least ping the enemy and if you're dead because of a flank let your team know what's going on. Many players have tunnel vision and are not aware of their surroundings.

Communication is key, as well as being kind (within reason, of course, I'm not saying to suck off your team or anything.) Those two things can (almost) always carry the team.


Edit: Also know when to play what hero, like if you're attacking you probably shouldn't be playing Peni Parker for example. Of course you can play whoever, whenever you want, but she's exceptionally better when you're defending, she can really lock down a point and get you a win. Also try to take advantage of team-ups, even with randoms, their abilities are quite strong.

So as another example, if your team is defending if you see you have a Peni, maybe play Venom so she can use the ability. Remind them they have a special ability to use if you notice they're not using it.
