You're right. Luck does play a part in it.. assuming you're not good enough to climb out of the bracket yourself. Luck, that you get someone or multiple people on your team that can carry you out of the bracket.

• Your KDAs aren't too bad really. It definitely looks like bronze level stuff when glancing over the KDAs for all your champs played, why I say this is because you have a ton of different champs played for only a few games each but have insane amount of kills+assist. You would not see such high numbers against better opponents. Mastering champs is necessary at higher levels. This shows that probably most of your games are clusterfucks with high amounts of kills+deaths involved. Probably very little structure going on in game.
  
  To combat this you may want to focus on champions that can win games early on their own. You seem to play AP mid a lot. From my experience this lane requires more teamwork to win then if you were a top-lane or ADC. APs take structures very slowly, mid lane is the hardest lane to take early, and roaming around the map to help other lanes would require your team to be semi-competent too.
  
  Your goal should be to focus on structures & objectives and end the game as quickly as possible. The longer the game goes, the lower chance of victory for your team. Show no mercy, dominate them, be aggressive.
  
  Consider focusing on Top, ADC or Jungle --
  • As a top laner you can sit in lane and continually push, focus on turrets & inhibs. At bronze level you can go with near anyone and do this, you just have to win your lane. Play champions that suit your play style. Some common split pushers would be Tryndamere, Aatrox, Shen, Teemo & Singed but for a more balanced champ pool you might want to consider Jayce, Elise, Renekton, Jax and Darius, too.
    
  • ADC are meant to win games on their own, its why they are a "carry". In Late game you are the key to winning team fights, you burst structures down faster than anyone. In Bronze you should be able to dominate the enemy ADC. Supports normally carry bottom lane but if you are a good ADC in Bronze you can absolutely destroy them. The bonus with being an ADC is that you can get double kills easily in Bronze since you will be fighting a bad Support & ADC. Whenever I would get super-fed I would just keep pushing with my support. I've had so many games where the enemy ADC and/or Support would rage quit because I'd start 5-0 or something in the first 10 mins. The reason I've migrated from ADC is that higher ranked games become much harder and Supports actually carry the lane. It's a real gamble trying to get competent supports that have synergy with your play style. Most bronze players don't even like to support so you can easily take advantage of this and farm them for gold.
    
  • Jungler can win games by counter jungling. You mentioned that you never counter jungle, you play passive. Fuck that. ALWAYS counter jungle at lower Elo. Nobody wards at bronze so there is no risk. Even in Gold I rarely ever NOT counter Jungle, it depends on the champ, too. Stealing buffs will get you ahead super far. If you manage to kill the enemy jungler while they are doing red, you've just gained a 2 level advantage on their jungler, plus denied their blue buff, plus made all your lanes safer due to less jungle presence. You can counter jungle many ways, there is the super-aggressive approach where you wait at their red until enemy is fighting it, let them get low health, then smite-steal red and proceed to killing them, this royally fucks them. There is the typical approach which is to just run over and steal their red asap then gank top or mid right after, thus denying them the buff but they still keep their life. Never be passive if you want to win. If you counter jungle effectively you've then made the game a 5v4 and it becomes so easy to win.
• As I said originally, you have tons of champions played with very little games played on any of them. I see like 8 games played at the most on some champs. This is pitiful tbh. You haven't gained a decent amount of knowledge with any of them. 8 games is practically an introduction. You've hardly experienced many different matchups, you probably lack the mechanics to execute skills properly & efficiently. Once you master a champion the mechanics should be 2nd nature, you just execute things without thinking about it. One such example from my own play is with MF, I have over 500 games played with her. The AA-->Q-->AA combo is a mechanic that is necessary to know and I execute it damn near every time I use my Q. The burst damage catches so many players off-guard because they aren't expecting to take 3 hits in such quick succession. When I started LoL I didn't even know what "resetting Autoattacks" meant, and then learning MF and how to play ADC in general took precedence before I even figured this mechanic out. Skills reset autoattacks on many champions and the timing is slightly different on all of them, it takes a bit of playing to get a grasp for the animations and autoattacks. There is a lot of nitty-gritty shit that would give the edge to really dominate opponents. Much of it revolves around timings, animations, etc. Another mechanic is Run-->AA-->Run, for kiting purposes or last hitting. You want to execute this in quick succession to keep maximum distance, you can use Attack Move (Shift+Right Click) or you can just click like normal but one thing to note is that you can easily cancel your auto attack if you click to move again too early. This could lead to missing last hits or even allowing an enemy to avoid death. Knowing the auto-attack animation timings are key for avoiding this. TL;DR: Focus on 1 champion first, play at least 50 games with that champion, maybe more if you are progressing well, then add another to the arsenal. I have over 500 games with MF, over 200 games with Akali, ~80 with Kha Zix, ~70 with Diana, and a bunch of champs with ~50 games played.
  
  
• Stop being stubborn. Take Flash. You are not "special". There isn't something you know that other players don't. Ghost only goes so far. Flash is better in the majority of instances. There are some champions you do take Ghost: Mostly bruisers & top laners (Tryn/Aatrox/Olaf/Singed) sometimes junglers (Hecarim/Shyvana), but most of the time you take Flash. Ghost is great if you are a champion that can already bypass walls, all of the above champions can (except Olaf & Singed). If you can't bypass walls, you take flash. If you are a squishy target, you take flash. It's just that simple. Learn it, love it, stop being stubborn. Do not take Ghost AND Flash, that's just stupid. Either take ignite, barrier or cleanse as your other summoner spell.
  
• You are bad. You probably deserve to be in Bronze. It is clear you have no dedication to the game, you play ranked like it is normals. You want to win, but you don't take steps to help you win. You pick whatever champ fancies you at the time. 170 ranked games is respectable but you have at most, 8 games played with any individual champion. Your mechanics are going to be very bad. You are also stubborn and you seem to think you know more than anyone else. You definitely aren't a gold level player. You could probably succeed in the lower Silver tiers, your stats aren't terrible but mainly because you play bronze games that go to late game practically every time. Clearly you do not know what objectives are. There is a ton for you to learn. Less arrogance is key.
