Thing I cant stand about silver elo

People lack the ability to play a certain way due to champion selects. They play the same way they always do.

Most cant look at the jungler match up and go "okay their jungler is going to have a lot more pressure than mine early on, I should freeze and Ward up"

Or "okay, this champion is REALLY strong, I should set up ganks so the jungler can help because I know this is a tough matchup" As a zac main, it can get frustrating when I see them shoving and I'm level 3 on the other side of the map and enemy has a jax/leesin/whatever strong early gank champion Honest to god, there needs to be a tutorial on understanding lane matchups and ideal positioning for junglers to gank.

Those would be invaluable.

I love a good Zac main. That E is insane good.

I hate playing Zac.... or any jungler who does not have kill pressure.

Back when i mained mid a good zac was my favorite jungler to have on my team, controlling the teamfights and letting the carries carry. But yeah i agree playing tank junglers ultimately leaves you reliant on your team which can suck in solo Q.

This is my struggle. I cant hard carry, I can set people up to do it but they gotta bring something to the table.

I mean... Most of its because I'm just bad and over extend with confidence players will react to it the same way I personally would react to it.

I noticed as a tank jungle main for years that the golden elo is plat 2+, plat 3 and below still has players unable to recognize the difference in gank potential between junglers. It gets even more annoying when you hear the "better Jungle wins" when you got your team mates making extremely stupid decisions that creates a snow ball effect.

The WORST part of it all is, they almost always default the tank role to the jungler.

Top wants to play a carry, support wants to play enchanter "jungle go tank"

Ya silver would he great if it wasnt for all the fkin silver teammates i think. U know whats worse tho? P4's. Dont believe me? My last game my top laner was unranked, peak rank silv, playing ap malphite and forgot to buy items. The opponent was a plat 4 gnar. The gnar hard fed him, including dying level 1 with dorans vs 0 items.

dude silver elo is even easier to get out than bronze, because in bronze you have to solo carry every game, in silver u actually get some teammates that actually have a brain. i really don't know how can anyone get stuck in there... i havent played lol for 3 years, i got placed in bronze 2 after placement and in like 50 games i'm already gold on my new main

Oh I disagree.....bronze is easier, because it's much easier to stomp your lane in bronze...in silver it's a bit harder to stomp and so you need to rely on your team even more....

in silver is also super easy to stomp your lane but in some cases you don't have to solo carry because your team actually goes for drake, baron, inhibs etc that's why i think that silver is a bit easier than bronze but they're both super easy

I haven't found the key to it....in bronze I can get a ridiculous amount of kills and my team doesn't matter at all, even if they fed, I can one shot any of them and use macro to win the game. In silver, I just can shit on my laner that hard every game, so if my team does feed (and they do often) and the players are a little smarter ( a little, but it's enough) it's much tougher for me to solo cary and entire team.

only problem in silver which u don't have in bronze are ganks, in silver junglers are a bit smarter than bronze junglers who'll gank you with low hp or engage on you in your creep wave or not gank you at all.

Well kind of, it seems like the other junglers do gank, mine do not. I know it's a mis perception, but it feels this way. I always have the jungler that wants to counter jungle.....and I literally (no joke) had a nocturne, that never once used his ult in a 20 min game......darkness did not hit my screen the entire game, and this was silver. Sevearl times i'll let the enemy push and I don't get a gank, while it seems like I get level 2 ganked by the enemy a lot (almost always unsuccessful, but it's annoying)

I also find that silver laners know matchups better and when I played the pre-rework akali, they would poke the crap out of me, in bronze, they barely touched me, so I would get to 6 with a lead in cs on say a lux and then just destroy her, in silver I was usually behind at 6 and I could still win, but it was tougher and I hoped that my bot lane didn't feed

Best thing is when teammate plays the push+die card. Like how i'm supposed to gank them? Dive full health enemy? Or sit around for that 10 minutes until they get killed+pushed? These guys literary spends 90% of the time running back to lane, or standing at enemy turret. Then at the end. "But i won my lane." Dude even challengers lose their lane sometimes. But the difference is, that they won't give kills, and able to comeback.
