if you're at or under 50 cs at 10 minutes

that's probably why you're stuck in bronze. a good player needs to have a strong foundation, which is good farming skills.

if you really want to climb, work on farming well. can't tell you how easy it got to climb out of bronze when i started getting 60-70 cs by 10 minutes while they were at 40-50. 15 cs is the equivalent of one kill in gold.

now, i'm not saying it's going to be easy. bronzes put too much stock into the harass early over farming strategy, but once you figure out their movements(because lets face it bronze players are extremely predictable for the most part) you won't have any trouble outfarming them, and eventually getting fed off of them.

the difference between a bronze and a silver isn't that much. it's mostly about your farm, and your decision making on when to fight and when not to.

yes, you will get bad teammates that feed the game away, but if you keep up with the good habit of farming well, and choosing your fights, eventually you'll start winning enough games to get out of bronze.

CS isn't everything, sure, if you want to be in the lcs you should have good farm, but there are champions that had it easy (ad), and others that have it harder, at least at the beginning, as their autoattacks deal almost no damage and they have so save their mana (mages and in a less degree tanks)

and even adcs are excused for having low cs if they are against a Blitzcrank , whose mere existence just lowers the opponent's cs for obvious reasons.

how are you supposed to farm when people try to all in you at level 1 if you even dare try to last hit a single minion?

people still manage to do it don't they? it takes patience and care.

and to be at or under 50 cs at 10 minutes means you're missing 3-4 cs per wave. that is never acceptable unless you happen to be getting fed at the same time.

At level 1 your minions deal a LOT of damage. If you stand in your wave when they hit you, your minion wave ends up dealing more damage to them than they did to youitem 3070

was it a joke, or was it an attempt to add useless information that serves no purpose?

sometimes things just don't need to be said.

Pretty sure it was a joke, yeah. The "kappa" at the end was a hint.

Unless your champion literally has a passive that helps you stay up in gold and can give you more mana than the cost of the spell you just used to farm...........TwistedFate in other words, CS difference may be a false gap in gold.

Why wouldn't you use the passive to your advantage rather than making up for a handicap?

Vexful1 votes

Certain people pick champions that can make up for their weaknesses. For instance, a mid laner who is used to being beaten 1v1 mid and being behind in CS could pick TF as the passive gold keeps you up and TF is really meant to gank with ult to win lanes for others. Maybe someone who can't cs well and has a hard time dodging skillshots takes Vlad as he can farm for free with Q and can heal off most skillshots. It's rather common for people to pick champs that cover weaknesses.
