play top with ignite, ward river, push lane while keeping in mind where the enemy jungler is get first blood then another kill on top, enemy top laner rages so jungler starts sitting top don't realize that after he recalled he went top with no camps up top camp instead of farmign his blue side die to gank cuz ward just ran out "it's all good, i ping my jungler to gank and take drag so i can soak up pressure top, farm up and try to 1v2" jungler farms enemy wolves then tries to gank mid while the midlaner is recalling, jungler dies botlane is 0/8 at 12 minutes, it's all good, those are the game i gotta hard carry to win resist the urge to flame bot after they don't ward, don't leave when i hard ping because the jungler is ganking, and don't ping the roaming pyke i can't try to get fed cuz jungler is sitting top and enemy is hard shoving everytime i try to roam drag is gone cuz a twitch jungle though it was a good idea to try to solo the ocean drake, it wasn't. EXECUTED, sound of drag dying, enemy has it now, thanks to the enemy lulu last hitting the drag "but that league of legends top lane guide on youtube said that it was a good thing that the jungler was sitting to" ask the rengar to start ganking, he's lvl 6 now but he can't play rengar cuz he decided to first time him in ranked i leave my tower, start grouping to get a deathball going and maybe come back. zyra support thought it was a good idea to go sweep and ward the enemy jungler while their kha'zix and kassadin was mia. It wasn't AN ENEMY IS GODLIKE oh well i just got one shot because that kassadin sneezed at me want to flame riot in all chat because getting one shot as a bruiser with 2 magic resist items is the stupidest thing ever lose game with me having highest cs in the game and highest kda and ward score get 3 honors so i'm fine with that

This time i take tp to have more map pressure. but bot isn't deep warding as i asked them multiple times and now i don't have an ignite to help me lane next game is even worse than before. Bot lane 0/12 at 10 minutes, I am trying to not tilt. play my best, try to better myself as a player. the point is not to climb, but to get better my jungler tries to dive a 1hp fiora, good idea. horrible execution frustrated at the jungler but i don't spam ping him. it wouldn't help at all team flames me because i dared not to have challenger level mechanics in a mid silver game I am starting to make mistakes. tilt is creeping in. I am not tracking the enemy jungler. forget to ward when pushing, forget to rush an early executioner/tabis for Fiora start to feed, lose the game

next game is a hard win, i play my boi blue kayn and end the game 28/0/13 with my team all hard feeding THAT is the kind of game i need to do on a regular basis. dont' get a single honor, they all skipped the prompt Slowly realize that whatever i do, i'll never be really happy with this game in my life

I know this is gonna get disliked to hell, but tbh quitting league was the best decision in my life. I just need one game a week to be remembered how frustrating this game is.

Top lane

My friend... I don't know how to tell you this but Top Lane can't win the two most important lanes, which are mid and bot.

Took me 3 months to get out of silver from silver 2 lol.

You forgot to also tell us that you are a Yasuo main.

Im in diamond and its not any better, in fact the trolls are even worse here. For example if the support gets mad they just afk or go troll mid lane by stealing xp and cs or just straight up start inting. At least in silver you can play a hard carry and stomp games.

The key to climbing is to not take individual losses to heart. Over the course of climbing, you'll play hundreds of games, some are absolutely unwinnable, but most are winnable. You just have to be consistently more useful than your opposing laner and your winrate across a large amount of games should reflect that if you're climbing.

One game where you snowball and get really fed does not mean you deserve higher elo. If you were able to consistently reproduce those results then you would deserve higher elo.

Small sample sizes and anecdotal evidence are never reliable sources of data, and so you can't really draw meaningful conclusions from them!

The matchmaking and game balance is great, huh? I love how the MMR accurately measures skill. Bot lanes are always the best. I enjoy how scuttle crab keeps the Jungler occupied. You wouldn't want him to gank a lane. It's a good thing people can dive towers. You wouldn't want someone trying to be safe under them after getting camped. Game is very balanced. Riot Games is the best gaming company. That's why their game is more popular than Fortnite.

Well if you are hardstuck in silver maybe quitting LoL indeed is a good idea. And in my opinion you have no right to blame other players in your Elo, because you are not better if you stuck there.

"trying to not tilt"/ "tilt creeps in" Well here is your problem why you stuck in silver. I always hated those tilt players in my games.

Honestly, after checking your history stop playing Zoe.. your farm is hideous, bad games many deaths on her average 11,9 deaths per game... Stick to Kayn and never build Hextech GB on Diana again.. You should be able to get S1/G5 with Kayn only. But you're far from Plat.

But seriously stop playing Zoe you can't play her at the moment and maybe try not to die so often, you have many deaths in almost all your games. Git gud and stop blaming it on your teammates

If you are stuck in a ELO, you belong in that ELO, if you think you are higher than what your rank reflects, you should be able to get to that rank. Otherwise, you're delusional.

Life of a hardstuck silverer:

"Hey, he's low and overextending. A gank would be nice." "Ok" says the jungler that runs to the opposite side of the map only to die invading

If TL;DR, it takes experience and knowledge to climb in low elo, which requires a good bit of homework, practice, and lots of patience.

I started S7 in Silver II, and ended in bronze elo, starting S8 in Bronze III. By the end of the season, I’d climbed all the way up to Gold as Gnar (a team-oriented champ who’s been progressively nerfed throughout the entire season), and I’m currently Gold II. Please take my advice into consideration.

Watch a handful of Youtube vids from pro players, and do some research. There’s a reason they all say you can win with any champion in low elo: so long as you have a handle of the game like they do, you will outsmart the low-elo players that don’t.

Trying to climb during the preseason isn’t the best idea, cuz a lot of players aren’t too concerned about losing (more rage, trolls, and less professionalism). However, unless your team dips or get absolutely curb-stomped, you can coordinate with them and win just about any match with the right game plan.
