I am including a link to my LoLSkill.net profile, so you can view my statistics. I have one specific question I am going to ask, but outside of that, I am open to any and all advice anyone has for me!

My one topic: Take a look at my average CS numbers for each of my top 20 or so champions. Obviously those top 20 are the ones I am typically best with or play the most, so I figure that is my best sample size for now. Anyway, take a look at those average CS numbers compared to K/D/A and gold. It is entirely possible this isn't the best platform to judge this, but do you think I may be prioritizing CS over killing enemy champions too much? Or should CS be my main priority? I can typically farm very well in lane. It is when I get out of lane that I usually struggle to find myself appropriate numbers of minions.

Again, ALL advice is welcome! I appreciate you reading this and any help you provide (A LOT)!

Hi! I am Astrophel, a challenger player in both Korean and NA servers over the past few years... you should prioritize cs over champs, killing 18 minions in a row means you've gotten the same amount of gold for killing a champion. It also means you have more gold to spend when you back. You should get 4 minions at least later in the game to keep up with gold.

Hey Plat 1 player here. Generally, being greedy for gold is a good thing so don't stop having high CS count by doing stuff like taking enemy jungle camps after killing a few members of the enemy team.

I'm looking at your recent Lux loss, and it looks like you died a lot during teamfights. 14 is way too much. You seem to be bursted down quickly during teamfights so damage output is low even though you have dank items. As Lux, you should go for a defensive summoner spell. Against a Veigar, cleanse would've optimal during teamfights or ganks. I would suggest working on your positioning (by staying next to your adc and behind tanks) and just lobbing spells to get picks before engaging. This will increase your damage done to champions and help win objective fights. Sometimes, just chunking out the enemy carry or jungler at drag is enough to take small advantages. Hope this helps.

a common mistake i see lower elo players is make is worrying too much about their statistics. statistics do NOT win you games. they are good sign if you are playing well, but if you are losing and have good stats chances are you're putting too much emphasis on your stats like KDA and CS.

the only stat that really matters if you play carries is "total damage dealt to champions" and kill participation. if your KP is low then thats bad. if your total damage is not top of the charts or close to it, that is really bad usually. sometimes you can't get damage off so take that in mind, but generally speaking as a carry you should be topping the charts if you expect to climb.

CS matters, but i myself cuck my team routinely by choosing to shove out one extra wave rather than start my rotation for a team fight coming up. the key is being able to rotate before a fight breaks. if you are farming and then a fight breaks out and you arent there, that's your bad. you can finish with great cs but if you don't get to team fights from the start you will lose most games as a carry.

focus on objectives. if your team gets kills, ask yourself what can we get? I have cilmbed mostly off my great baron calls and rotations. Not even joking. my mechanics are bad, my cs is relatively bad to my elo, but my team fighting is great, i usually rotate on the important ones and my baron calls on even the smallest of picks (one pick on support for example and then the adc shows bot and we know jungle just backed) have won me so many games.

learn how to prioritize objectives, rotate well, and team fight well. be at every team fight. if you aren't at team fights as a carry that is YOUR fault. very rarely is it because your team fought without you. it seems like it, but ask yourself if you had to back to buy that item or if you had to burn all your mana on that jungle camp before a fight was about to ensue. was dragon spawning, is baron coming up? are we about to siege? all this matters. good back timings is of utmost importance.

Hey, Diamond player here. I'll tell you what got me to Master, and how that advice got me to Challenjour.

Git gud.

I was as strong as a coursing Riven, with all the force of a Malphite ult, with all the strenth of a fountain turret, mysterious as the premades in skype calls.

Also I beat Faker in lane playing Gromp against his Zed.
