Need some real advice for climbing(please no flaming)

Shifue Draven·6/25/2017, 6:12:43 AM·1 votes·361 views

just got to ask you cause honestly i am at the point where i am about to fully quit ranked play cause i am so annoyed with my issues i wanted your take on it.

So i won't lie i am in bronze due to stupid choices(playing with "friends" who rage and play drunk and being new to lol) i did this last season lost most of the games due to them raging and feeding i tried to climb without them and just the matches where shit shows.This season when i did my placements i was 7 and 3 and got slapped right back into bronze.I was climbing fast i made it to b1 and went to promos 8 times in a row for silver then suddenly it was a 10 game losing streak. Then off and on wins with like 3 losses between.

That made me quit ranked for a few months i was beyond pissed while my games are not perfect and everyone makes mistakes but still i usually did fine at my role. So i have been watching videos to learn and pick up on where i could have failed.I have been improving a bit now on the short comings(i was a jg main laning was not good for me) i did have but now just like in the past i get troll games nonstop. This really pisses me off to no end as i get tired of hearing if you're good you'll climb and if not you are where you need to be.

How is that the truth when it's a team game and if people this toxic and stupid play you can't do anything? I mean i have had my whole team flaming each other since the first 4 minutes and we lost cause they are fighting each other. I mean how do you even play and climb when this is every game i am even happy to give you videos if you can show me lol. I know everyone says there are just some games that are not winnable and move on but i mean when this is easily 7/10 games you play how do you go on? i mean i was on a climbing streak not long ago just playing support i about made it back to b2 then the troll games started again when everyone got out of school. I seriously need some advice here.

Also just to add i have reported so many players i get a steady stream of thank you for your report we have taken action against a player.If this tells you anything else.

Matchmaking is rigged atm. Unless you can carry 1v9 don't expect to climb. If you want to win games you are going to have a real shitty time. When your jg starts inting you have to breathe deeply, accept that this is a 4v6 or worse, man up, make better decisions and carry that shit. If you're not doing by far the most damage on your team at least 20% of games you arent carrying, cant carry.

I finished 3 years Silver 3 with a 60% winrate, and got placed B5 for 3 years in a row, so I know the feels.
Honestly here are some advice

X. Pick a champion that you can carry and is a flex pick - For example Jayce - he can be played top/mid and adc so either role you get you still have your butter champion to rank up if you so wish. Playing 100+ champions mediocre is ok but being really good on say only 10 champions in low elo is much better in my opinion.

X. Pick a date to play - for example, mine is not playing in the weekends for some reason especially during the Summer(School out) my games are filled with animals and toxic people so I tend to only play Mon-Fri because of it.

X. Obvious s$it Ward, don't rage and honestly just mute everyone - You in low elo what advice or intelligent s$it are you going to give or receive from your teammates ? Mute them and move on, if the famous ???????????????????????????? comes out, mute the pings and watch the minimap your self, 90% of the time your teammates don't watch the map so the pings tend to be either late, bad or stupid so just do it yourself.

X. League of (Legends) You gotta be a F****ing Legend - Be the Faker of X tier, punish the s$it out of your opponents and if you can't well, you either in the right elo or you need more practice.

X. Toxic stupid people are everyone dude, they are in bronze, silver, gold, and even challenger - either toxic by nature(T1) or either they got boosted by their "friends" and are now in high elo causing L's for everyone or they are running scripts. Point is you can't escape from bad players, teammates.

X. Splitpush if your a laner, so many 1 tricks in high elo's don't really teamfight( Trick 2g, Sirchez, Box Box, etc) because they know that their teams are garbage so there's no point in helping them if you can't help yourself. Don't skip and help #2 without helping yourself #1. You know your own carry potential more than you do with randoms, so take kills, cs, pressure, EVERYTHING.

X. Top - Just play massive dmg dealers, tanks in my opinion are becoming more and more useless these days, so pick Darius, Cho, Rumble, Vayne, Master Yi. Either you can tank dmg for randoms or you can dish it out, your choice.

X. Sup - Just pick any champion that has a year long stun or a year long shield. Morgana, Lux, Zyra; can't go wrong with any female support these days.

X. Don't pick scaling champions. League is average 27 mins not like a few years ago where games on average were like 38-40 mins and picking scaling champions is risky but more times than not actually good. Just pick a champion that's strong early, dominate on it and make the enemy team flame each other in seeing someone go 0-3 in the first 15 mins.

Other than that the rest is up to your and your mechanics and common sense.

For getting out of Bronze I recommended: -Pick a champ that fits your role, but that you can 'solo-carry' with...meaning that you can make individual plays and split-push if needed. You also need to know your champ to make the most of this tidbit. -Ward for yourself: Use your wards to give yourself vision where you need it, and plan ahead (e.g. if you wanna split bot lane to inner, ward river first, shove the wave a bit, and when it gets past 1st tower, go ward next to enemy blue at junction there, then push in the rest of the way etc.) -Show up only for winnable fights/necessary defense of towers/inhibs. -Farm, power farm, get as much CS as you can while doing other things you need to do, the more merrier. Look for stacked waves post-lane coming at your towers and clean those up for fast, time-efficient farm. Related to this: shove out the lanes as much as possible, this gives your team minion split-push pressure which does wonders for creating opportunities to take enemy towers and advance towards winning the game. -Be proactive about taking objectives: Towers and Dragons/Rift Herald (Baron if you can actually solo it and they look to be preoccupied elsewhere on the map/lack vision of it). -Kills are valuable only as a means to objectives (and gold), they don't help you win on their own. So if you win a fight and get 2/3 of them for no1 lost, don't waste 30-40 seconds chasing kills 4 and 5, instead go take an objective with your numbers advantage, better yet several if you can manage it.

If you really got better at the game then wait until the system gives you good team for the next 12 games for you to climb, I had this problem when I got placed in bronze this season I kept going back and forth but I started improving my mechanics and everything and I still kept losing but I kept on going and finally the system decided to give me good teams for the next 20 games and I still get losing streaks like today but you just gotta keep trying

Don't tilt, take a break after 3 back to back losses. Advice oriented around 1v9 is pretty stupid, shows a lack of respect to your teammates. Frequently folks who say that are the leading problem in their games as they don't play with teammates well. the one constant in league is that your the bloke playing your champion every game, teammates are only the same if your qued up with them. If the other 9 are strangers when you are consistent and not toxic, the odds are in your favor for your team because your on it 100% of the time and the enemy team has 1 more slot to get a game wrecking troll so they should lose 20% more games when vs your team for it. Over time with a large enough spread.

Your swapping around to many champions currently. you got 2 champions with more then 10 games played ranked, one of them being sona, personally I don't think shes a good bronze champion. Teammates need to know how her aura works, she has only 1 hard cc that's on a long CD and ya don't get it till 6, shes squishy so if any bursty champion gets feed they will just murder her. Bit off topic there sorry, you got a pretty good win rate on shy but a lot of those wins are negated by the played once lost never played again. Last season I got demoted from plat into gold near the end of season because I was tired of playing my main role and champs, so lesson learned. Of the 28 champs you have done in ranked, you got positive win rates on only 6. Normal drafts a good spot to test things and don't take it to ranked till your consistently playing well over 10-20 game spread.

Lower elo has a different meta. Games play a lot differently in it, your more likely to see a flow of a bronze game in normals then watching some pro stream.

Tldr, pick a role and get 2-3 champions, play at least 20 games as said champions in normals, and drop them if your win rates not over 55% after 50 games. For you it seems like jungle might be the way to go, but you have not played enough games to know for shure. More matches the less RNG will hurt you, and the less each individual round will matter.
