Hey all,

I'm sure I'll get flamed for posting a question like this on the boards, but what are your best/most effective methods to climb in ranked?

I've been playing League since 2014 and I've been hardstuck in Bronze/Iron since I started playing ranked back in 2016. As a support main, I never had the opportunity to take on a role that can carry, but even now (specifically in the last year and a half) as I've been trying to diversify my play and learn as much as I can about the in-depth mechanics and minutiae of the game itself, I still haven't seen any change in my ranked advancement. Obviously there are and always have been two factors to winning games: solo potential and group synergy. I don't claim to be on the level of Plat+, but I've had the opportunity to join games with higher ELO players and managed to pull my weight during those matchups. I understand the importance of working with your team, but the majority of players in low ELO have either started playing recently or haven't played the game comprehensively.

All suggestions, tips, and feedback are welcome. Thanks!

Play every champion. Get a few games in on literally every champion. Use free week. Get a good feel for ability and combos. How many Items and what level the kit powerspikes from.

Not everybody can bookmark things. I often learn better from hands on practice.

Far as low elo supporting goes. What champions are you playing?

So I took a quick look at your op.gg and the biggest issue I saw was that you play too many champions, I would recommend stick to a handful of similar champions and drop the rest if you want to climb. Other than that, pay attention to your win-rates on each champion if a champion is underperforming then cut them out of your ranked pool. You seemed to do well with Naut, Lux, Zoe, Swain, Pyke, and Jhin last season maybe start with them and add and subtract from there.

Nobody is able to play 127 champions in ranked and climb, in a single season you should only play a max of 30 in solo queue, the rest are for normal games.

It's a 5v5 so if you want to win solo you're playing the wrong game.

Support is by far the easiest role to climb in, especially lower elo, so if you work on your own skills and dedicate practice, not just games, you should start getting high LP gains

i dont think support is great for climbing cuz u can set up plays or risk ur life saving people, and they still fk everything up somehow. i think the lower u are, the more prone the enemy team is to being split pushed to death. i say top and jungle are best.
