Can someone take a look at my losses and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Because I've been down from 36 wins to 27. I don't know how or why but carrying has become literally impossible. There are so many feeders/afk/trolls in nearly every game it's getting ridiculous. I try my best to roam but it doesn't usually work when the enemy is already more fed than I am and only causes me to lose the time I could have spent on farming CS.

Is there something I should be aware of? Am I doing something wrong?

Quick Tip - Focus more on CS

HallbusterMay 28, 20171 votes

Yeah, I focus alot of my attention on CS. Quite frustrating seeing your lane taxed though sometimes >:(.

You die A LOT. Most of the time, going 1 for 1 isn't worth it. Try focusing on dying less and playing more conservatively.

You're not "carrying" because you aren't winning your lane. While you don't necessarily have to win lane to carry the game, it definitely helps. If you're better than your opponents and teammates, show it by winning your lane. Looking through the first 10-15 minutes of each match shows that you don't really do well consistently and often fall victim to ganks.

Going back to the first point, you need to be more consistent. You die A LOT which hurts you and your team. Some games YOU are the feeder you're complaining about. There are 3 games in the last 20 with double digit deaths, and one of those games was 4/19. Your teammates didn't force you to die 19 times, you were way out of position multiple times for that to happen.

Yeah, I'll take full responsibility for any death. This could be my own mistake in failing to ward properly or consistently.

In bronze you can easily freeze and free farm for most of the early game which should put you at a massive advantage over your opponent. It should be really easy to do with Vlad because he has heals. Just let the enemy push towards your tower and take minion aggro just before they get in tower range. Just sit there letting minions hit you until your wave comes and then only last hit. It is important that you don't attack them while you hold them. There has to be at least 4 enemy minions for you to permanently freeze the lane. If there are less than 4 minions, your wave will just build up and slowly push towards the enemy tower. This will stop the wave right in front of your tower making the enemy top laner risk ganks to even get close enough for exp from the minions. The moment they leave lane push it hard under their tower so it kills most, if not all of your minions before they get back. After you push to tower, there is no reason to stay unless you can kill the tower so go back and buy. By time you get back to lane the wave will be pushed back to you and you can reset the freeze again. If you do this effectively in bronze, you will win lane every single game and make the enemy top laner totally irrelevant the rest of the game, even if your score is 0/0/0.

This sounds like a really neat trick. I just have to count on a good jungler to pull this stunt off :/

AlienPrimateMay 28, 20171 votes

You don't even need a jungler to do it. As long as you can poke the enemy a little and just make them scared of a gank it will work. Another thing is that when you do this, you should never go for a kill unless it is 100% guaranteed. You will just bait yourself trying to kill them because you want the minions to build up. about 8 minions should always be there making it a losing fight for you because they will have 8 minions hitting you and you will have none hitting them. Also, if you do happen to lose the fight, the freeze is broken and they will likely take your tower because they are already pushed to it.

His cs/min is actually probably above B3 average. But he only plays normals so it is hard to say.

Maybe you need to try a higher impact champion.

HallbusterMay 28, 20171 votes

I can 150 CS in 20 minutes easily now which is usually the most in my team, as long as I'm not too busy roaming. 160 - 180 CS in 20 minutes is my current goal.

Yeah, I actually thought of dropping Vladimir especially with Riven, Darius, and Yasuo on the loose :/.

Darkdemon653May 28, 20171 votes

You play Vlad, Annie, and Morde. You can't expect to win with those.

HallbusterMay 28, 20171 votes

This could very well be it.

All of those champions are quite capable of carrying games, it's not champion pool. It's game sense and strategy that need work (and perhaps fundamentals too).

I've vowed to write, "Focus the ADC." 100 times on paper because I always forgot.
