I suck at league, i get it

A Grumpy Bean·Jan 10, 2017·2 votes·944 views

Now i get it, im a silver trash player that makes sense to me, but in that case should i not be matched with people of similar skill? Because i don't feel that is the case, i lose a lot and i know it is due to my lack of all around later game tactics, but why is it that the enemy team always knows exactly how to catch out all of my team (including me) causing one lane to feed (even me) and then get steamrolled, so ya i queue back up for another and boom, the same thing, again and again and again and again. So all in all i'm hoping for tips and tricks to help both me alone and help me kinda direct/help my team in the right direction. All help is appreciated! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Play Jungle

gank / counter gank

get strong

counter gank and kill the enemy JG, invade his sht.

Take dragon

Kill a lane, take first tower.

win

Not hard in Silver elo. Play Vi, Nocturne, Hecarim, Zac, or if you're good enough to land cacoon Elise. Pick Nocturne, and every time your ult is up, do it to an enemy lane that is immobile / squish. Also consider your teams follow up ability / CC ability.

You'll win off of pure pressure alone.

Thank you for the help! I'll make sure to keep those picks in mind.

btw dont be afraid to duo in low elo

having that communication between laner and jungler is kind of big.

Also you can tell him when the enemy jg is at their lane, saving your lane, and wasting the enemy JG's gank.

Buy a few control wards and help your laners ward their gank entrances

75g to save your lanes life and their tower. If bot dies, your dragon is lost, then they will rotate mid to take tower.

Things will snow ball hard, if you do not use your brain and think actively.

WATCH

YOUR

REPLAYS

Never watched my replays, ever.

I still get better every day / game

Cause I notice my mistakes, and I resolve them before I respawn again.

Everyone learns different.

But I'm not a special snowflake and the way I learn isn't special either.

I'm saying there are more efficient ways to go about this

watching replays from time to time wouldn't hurt

but if you can't recognize a mistake immediately, will you just be doing the same thing over and over again in the game?

You need to be quick and be able to adapt. Otherwise you'll stagnate and hit a plateau at some point.

Training the way you learn, is also a skill, and is also something that needs to be developed.

A lot of things aren't talent like they seem to be. People like to think so, as an excuse to not work hard.

If there is a yasuo or yi player who continuously runs into the enemy team 1v5, it can really help that person to review the film without the mindset of being an invincible samurai serial killer and see that it really wasn't his team's fault.

Like you're almost in the top 1% of players. Most people don't just learn when they do something silly. It helps to low elo players to slow down and look at themselves and the enemy team from a more neutral perspective.

You can fit 6 solo q games in and 6 vod review sessions

or you can fit 12 solo q games, develop adaptability, and the correct mindset for improvement.

You get 12 games of experience, while developing your skill set for mental strength and your ability to evolve quickly as an individual.

I'm not going to say one is right or wrong, or better. Whatever works for you at the end of the day.

But I just wanted to know, how much credibility can you give to VOD reviews yourself personally? or are you just saying this because you believe it will work out a certain way?

And how much information can a Bronze / Silver really extract from a replay?

If they knew what to look for in the first place, they should just do it on the fly in game. That way they can correct whatever mistakes during a game and bounce back from a set back.
