After three seasons of hard work and dedication...

I climbed from bronze 5 to silver 5! (perhaps I am just not super talented at this game).

Edit: Several important tips to help poor bronzies get out of bronze:

•SIGHT WARD If you don't ward you will NOT climb. Warding stops your enemies from ganking you successfully, which means they will waste their time ganking you and fail to kill you, while you can gain time from not dying. And if you feed the enemy jungler, he will level up quick and have more items, which means he will snowball much easily and screw your teammates up.

•I usually buy around 2-4 sight wards, since each of them only cost 75 dollars (which is cheap), and of course, roaming while your lane is pushed, and the other lanes are being pushed.

•What differs good from bad people in bronze is their map awareness. Try to practice so that you can look at the minimap while farming and harassing. •Encourage your teammates even if they feed or make mistakes, and advice them on how can they do better/what could they have done during the previous teamfight.

3 years of bad experience cannot substitute 3 minutes of well spent time.

You will not get better simply because you played ranked nor will you get better simply because you did something you refer to as "practice" it has to be good and meaningful "practice"

ranking up is all about cs,cs,cs that's all the game is about really. even if you give up a couple kills if you're up 40-50 cs you're actually still ahead a lot of people in bronze don't get that.

not saying that's the only thing just the most important imo.

p.s. congrats on making it into silver

Congrats man. Keep climbing!

Welcome to the club babe <3 It only gets more difficult from here. Friendly tip from a fellow silver, have the mindset as if you're still bronze. Allot of silvers are supremacists with a very cocky attitude as they finally have the rank card to pull should they do poorly.

Apart from that, best of luck with your future climbing [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Currently in B1 and may be Silver in the next couple days if I continue doing well, a week if things start to go bad. Wanted to add a couple points.

Firstly, CSing properly is the most important thing one will have to learn in order to climb Bronze. Aim for 80 by 10 minutes. 70 is a more practical number but 80 is what you should be aiming for. If you're currently struggling in B5, and you want to climb out, do that. Good CSing by itself can get you to B3. The reason it works is because no one under B3 is trying to get CS, they are trying to get kills but CS is a more reliable income stream. 20 CS or so is equal to 1 kill in terms of gold value. You can carry B5 and B4 games with good CSing because you will just be so far ahead of everyone who are ignoring CS in favor of wasting time trying to all in their opponent.

Second thing. Main few champions, 3 at most. I mained Azir and Kayle and stuck solely with Kayle after they nerfed Azir. The reasons for this is that every champion is his own diverse world of possibilities. One of the reasons people feed so much in Bronze is because they don't have a full comprehension how strong a champion under different circumstances. When you play a single champion for a lot of games you develop an understanding of when you can go in and when you need to back off under multiple circumstances instead of being like everybody else who is guessing. Also, by maining a few champions you think more about the game than how you're going to use the champion since playing said champion would be second nature. You don't have to think about when and how to use abilities on champions you play alot. You will find that you can react very very fast with champions you main. I can pull of a drift combo with Azir in the blink of an eye and kill someone that screws up for even an instant. I don't have to think about how to do it. I can just do it. This is the advantage you get by playing a single champion lots of times.

Thirdly, the biggest reason for feeding in Bronze, item and level advantages. If someone is 2 levels ahead of you, you should think twice about dueling this person. They will most likely win. If you're a Renekton with a item 3077 and item 1037 facing an Irelia with item 3078, avoid fighting with her alone at all costs. You will always lose. But if you're a Renekton with item 3074 facing an Irelia with item 3057 and item 3044, jump on her every chance you get. You will always win.

That's all for now. ;)

Or just play hecarim and get from bronze 4 to silver 5 and try not to be a peice of shit to your teammates. (gey rainbow pony is best pony :3)[slayer-pantheon-rainbows] also silver is the true hell, its bronze but with an ego. You are still basically in bronze ;-;
