5 Ways To Beat Gold

B6WS TSW99·12/21/2015, 3:34:21 PM·4 votes·700 views

Getting to Platinum means getting to High Elo-level but in order to do that you first need to beat gold It took me only a week to get from gold 5 to gold 1 but because its the 1st division of course it had to be so hard to beat so it took me an extra 2 weeks to get to platinum here are 5 ways I used to do it:

1-Vision Control WARD EVERYWHERE, wards can prevent deaths and set up kills, and don't just ward, also destroy enemy wards, always check the bushes the enemies most likely to have a pink ward in, warding helps you not lose, de-warding helps you win, but wards are useless if you don't have a good Map awareness which brings me to my second point

2-Map AwarenessA really valuable skill in League, It prevents enemies from sneaking up on you OR your allies, because probably most players higher than gold 5 will see your pings or your messages saying " enemy X is coming to Y lane, go back ", I stopped my allies from dying to easily avoidable ganks many times by just saying spamming that, you can also use this skill to read your enemies movements and set up kills or make sure you're safe while taking an objective or going in a fight, or you need is one glimpse of them on the map, the easies way to master this skill is to main jungle and Support which brings me to my 3rd point

3-Play Jungle and Support because you don't have to keep looking at yourself to make sure you last hit, you can keep looking at the map and help your allies ,also jungle is the best role to carry in, you might not hard-carry as much as midlaners but its much easier to carry in the jungle than midlane and ignite-supports are very easy to win lane with, and most of them have a good engage and can also roam to midlane to help your allies on top of that there are a lot of easy jungle and support champs that don't require you much mechanical skill which brings me to my 4th point

4-Play Easy Champions Ranked is all about winning ( especially that you are now gold ) so if you want to have fun and play the champs you want and have fun with thats fine just don't do it in ranked, In ranked play easy champs like garen, vi , leona, alistar, nautilus, xin zhao or annie I'm pretty sure you heard this a lot by now, but seriously just play easy champs, which brings me t.. JK I'm done with this

5-Don't waste your time on chat I'm going to be honest if league had voice chat I would have probably gotten banned over 10 times now for flaming and toxicity but I don't usually flame in ranked because ain't nobody got time for that, if someone is annoying you just mute them, don't waste your time on them, its useless, I'm not saying you shouldn't use chat at all, what I'm saying is just don't talk about anything that obviously won't help you win the game

and these are the 5 ways I used to get to Plat, hope it helps

disagree with item number 2, you're assuming your team looks at the minimap. i know lots of gold 4 all the way through gold 1 players who dont look at the minimap at all and still ignore pings outright.

it helps you out for sure, but even in gold you still cant rely on your team as heavily as you may want to. its still up to you to carry for them.

Its boring as hell but my strategy is.

Morgana item 3512 or Heimerdinger item 3512

Now even more toxic to lane against with item 3092

Don't worry about kill get the towers bully your lane opponent.

Skill requirement is really really low. But ill explain you push, and push, and push some more. You harass, and harass, and harass some more. You spam wards, and spam wards, and spam wards some more. You look on minimap and ping incoming ganks for all your lanes. And meanwhile you push.

After you take first tower keep item 3512 in your lane whilst you go and help your teammates. You use item 3092 to scout ahead when warding or use it to setup you roamganks.

Keep one thing in mind, do not be greedy!!! There is no need your opponents will eventually be so frustrated by your passive agressive extremely safe playstyle that they will tilt and throw free kills at you. Take these kills say tank you very much in all chat and spam laugh from time to time to piss them even more off.

See the opponents crumble under the enormous map pressure and internal flaming as you take their base and the victory.

Its very boring strategy, it is extremely toxic to play against, its easy and will get you many wins. Not very nice for your opponents but hey its ranked you want to win right? right???

>didnt buy a single ward all through gold except for when i got flamed for not buying one >stayed in my lane the entire game each game >played nearly exclusively mid and adc >played nearly exclusively yasuo >eh

but im plat

your advice is not good and maybe you should give advice that applies to everyone and not just kids like you who jump onto the backs of good players to get to a rank that is definitely way above you.
