How do I get out of bronze

MRS42·Aug 25, 2016·1 votes·808 views

How am i still only in Bronze IV. I play pretty much only vel'koz, whom I have 68% win rate and 3.7:1 average kd, and am lvl 7 mastery with. My pick for when i play top, is Darius, or Irelia, who I have 83% and 50% win rates with, yet im currently at around 30 LP, Bronze IV. Does anybody have any tips, tricks, etc. to help me get out of this league that i dont think i deserve to be in. I get first blood and turret almost every game, etc. (All percentages and kd ratios are from the last 25 days)

Play champs that take turrets well. Kills don't win games, objectives do

Im able to have high kill potential, and use my w as velkoz to be able to push further, and take turrets more effectively than my opponent. Is there any mid laner that has high effectiveness in taking towers?

Tristana is the best in my opinion

Azir, he can constantly push and not die from ganks because of his escape. He has high attack speed also.

Ashe or Kog'maw can take turrets pretty fast also.

Azir doesn't have the damage to carry in Bronze. Carrying Bronze games is about becoming powerful very fast before your team feeds too much. Azir takes too long to ramp up in damage especially after his last damage nerf. By the time you get strong, your team will have already fed too much. And while you will be killing shit left and right, it's hard to come back when you've lost seven towers and the enemy team has only lost two.

Don't even say Azir for a bronze. No offense to him, but Azir should not be played in low elo, Mid Gold at the lowest.

I don't really get what's wrong with him, people talk trash about him all the time and say he's the weakest champion after all the nerfs he got and how low his winrate is. I'm not ranked yet and I'm doing pretty ok with him.

The reasoning isn't his winrate or dmg output. It is high mechanical skill. He is, the toughest mid laner in my opinion to play. Unless you put like 100 hours into learning him, I would stay away from him in ranked. Not to mention he is kinda feast or famine right now.

I'd say you're just getting unlucky. Odds are your skill level is a lot higher than your rank, because ranks don't really matter that much.

Itsimpossible to have a winrate of 68-80%and not climb. So wherever your getting your stats from is wrong or you are looking at normal games where people tend no to care,troll, or are learning champs

MRS42Aug 25, 20161 votes

No thats my win rate. Over the last 25 days. And only with velkoz.

The only thing I can think of is your mmr must be horrid and you lost every game before you picked up velkoz, cause you should be on your way to gold with that win rate.

If you stay at 60%+ your mmr will get better and you'll start climbing rapidly

MRS42Aug 25, 20161 votes

My MMR is pretty good actually.

DREADN0UGHTAug 25, 20161 votes

I'm unsure as to why you aren't any higher. Your MMR is fine according to Op.gg, and you win rates with Vel is pretty good. I would suggest just spamming him mid and top and to stop playing irelia in ranked game until you get to know her a little better.

But if you keep your Velkoz winrates the way they are yo could reach silver by the end of the season easily.

EDIT: I checked your runes and Masteries.

Your masteries for Vel'Koz are the good ones. So nothing bad there, but you really need to save some IP up and get your rune page up to date.

Get 3 AP quints, 9 Magic pen reds, 9 flat armor yellows and 9 flat MR blues. Its the standard for squishy AP champs mid. You can branch off of that eventually when you get more, but I'm sure it would help you to have proper runes.

Thanks for your help :)

greater or normal magic pen

thank you. Runes have been changed

DREADN0UGHTAug 26, 20161 votes

Always go for greater (Tier 3) runes.

I believe there is a check box in the shop tab for you to only see tier 3 runes.

Prayer. Lots of prayer. Its the only way to get out of bronze. And silver for that matter. :P

I made a post about what I learned to get out. You can check it out here.

i dont think i deserve to be in

I was EXACTLY where you are, not even a good 3 months ago I was there. Trust me, if you're struggling there, it is because you belong there. It's easy to believe that you're stuck there because of your teams but its not. I only understood this when I got into Silver and played there for a bit and went back smurfing Bronze on another account. I could carry in B5/B4 with ease now.

That being said, I had a look at your matchlist. You have a couple of massive win streaks and you win a fair amount of games in general. I don't see the problem. Based on that, I could tell you that you're on your way to Silver as long as you keep that up. It's just gonna take a little longer than you expect.

Oh, another great tower destroying midlaner is ziggs and maybe orianna..I'm not sure if ori's passive works on towers.
