Gold is not so hard to get really. Alot of people think its about how consistently you can carry games. But I found that to be false in my experience.

I main jungle, and I had to try a bunch of shit out and play plenty of games to realise my ability to carry was always trumped by my ability to support my lanes and snowball them. Which is why usually play Nautilus, Rek'sai or Kindred.

As Naut and Rek'sai, I usually have good ganking pressure, allowing me to get my lanes ahead, and when teamfights happen, I just focus on peeling for the carries.

As Kindred its a little different. I can carry, but usually keep my ult for my Adc or mid laner rather than myself.

I think the secret to winning consistently enough in League of Legends is about not making mistakes enough to end up being a positive factor for your team, and in the end, that influences team morale and winrate.

Worked for me anyway.

EDIT: Once you accept the fact that you can't carry every game you play, you understand that sometimes, sitting back and just helping your fed teammate is the way to go. That got me lots of wins.

This is why I got to S1 (and hopefully gold by the end of next week) with annie. Her ult devastates anyone it touches even with the stun so I'd get bot fed. Then when it came to mid game, annie devastates that too so I'd just ult a clump of them and boom, teamfight won.

It seems to be more about helping out your team and getting them fed. Sure you can carry if you're REALLY good (like plat but in silver or so), but if you're legit trying to climb, I find just helping your team get fed does the trick. Then you get fed off assists as well.

The only problem I find is people realize in gold that annie has low range. So they pick champs with higher range. I go to engage and I can't do anything. But they can cause they can engage at a bigger distance. Thinking of going with vel now. He's actually in a pretty good spot I think and I DO prefer playing him. Gonna start trying him out as support and see where it ends up.

It's exactly what happened to me. I was Silver 2 this season and decided to climb. Gold was surprisingly easy, but the promos....

Your just saying the same thing over and over again without providing statistics, which are even more relevant considering I Am in an elo that is not effect by it as much as others.
