For people trying to climb

Xenoxi··1 votes·602 views

I'm currently silver 4 (yes i understand i'm bad) but what i've realized when your trying to climb is that your not going to win every game, get your favorite position, and your going to get demoted. In order to go up, sometime you have to go down. I started out in bronze, i got as low as bronze 4 this season then i started thinking, I want Silver. I started playing more like it was only me not my team. meaning don't rely on your team. Carry yourself to what you want don't make your team do it. Here are some of my key things that help me

  1. Realize your mistake(s) and correct them.
  2. Focus a little more on farming in the early game.
  3. DONT BE TOXIC. Who is it helping? You? No. Them? No.
  4. Think like a silver/Gold/Plat/Diamond what ever you want think like they would. If you see their jungle top and you think its a good time to drag. Ping that ish.
  5. understand you WILL NOT win all games. Its impossible to go 10/10
  6. Be able to play all roles efficiently. You wont get your role every game. Be flexible

I understand that im not diamond. But this is what ive done to climb from bronze 4 to silver 4 and still climbing!

I like that you made a post like this and I think you start to develop some nice ideas and getting on the right track.

Let me add/expand on some things however.

When it comes to your team you have to rely on them in certain situations and you have to think of when you should rely on your team and when you should not. Some situations have a better outcome when you rely on your team and some other situations require you to forget about your team for a little bit.

Mistakes are always made even by pros and while it is not easy for someone to realize their mistakes you should try to minimize them and you touch on this a little bit when you said to focus on farming more in the early game. This game is about getting stronger and translating your strength on the map is not about making the plays or getting the flash kills and all that. There is no reason to risk anything at all unless you are VERY behind and that's your only option.

One more thing that I have found very very helpful and you touch on this too is to try not to lose your cool. Games are not lost because you died one or two times in lane or because you are 50 cs behind. Games are lost because this results in you tilting and making mistake after mistake after that. Try to be cool and think what you can do to make the situation better. There are games however that go so wrong, the team will be so behind that you cannot possibly come back. Simply accept defeat and move on. Stressing out about things you can't control is meaningless and try to make the best of the things you can control.

One last thing is what you say about being able to play in all roles is very important. Most players think that playing only x role and a few champions is the best way to climb and in some cases that is true but it will only take you so far. If you go to gold for example playing only annie mid you are not a gold LoL player, you are a gold annie mid player. This is very important because if you don't understand how the game works as a whole most likely you won't climb. Contrary to popular belief, you can look this up too, the people who climb to diamond or higher by playing only 1 champion or being so mechanically gifted are a very small portion of the people in such ranks. Most people who are diamond + have 2 main differences that the rest of us. The first difference is that they are always looking for opportunities to translate their power on the map and the second difference is that they know the game a lot better than the rest of us.

You don't have to be diamond to begin to understand the game better and I hope that what I wrote will help you understand the game even more.

Thank you for this. It was actually really good advice. I do appreciate it!
