Just some Advice for the Bronzie~

SnowScale··1 votes·1,598 views

[sg-miss-fortune] Now just going to warn you I might end up rambling and repeating basic stuff being said over and over again by other but hell I just like talking and even simple advice is something I like a lot~

Long story short I'm just asking for some advice from those of you graced with much more skill than I have currently~ Seeing as I only play couple times a day or so I'm still quite an active participant in the game, I've been trying my hardest to rise out of bronze and at least ended up getting high in it before coming her to talk. And Before you ask~ Yes Ahri I'm simply another Ahri main mid, though I have the advantage of having played her since I first came in, call me a sucker~. And she's truly one of the few champions I can almost safely say I'm decent or even good with, usually I end up high Kda, decent Cs, and a good deal of participation around the map but of course I could simply blame my team for the losses but I know that's unhelpful, I try to carry as best as I can and get others in the mood to but it usually ends up not working. Yes I ban Yasuo all the time and Get salty against Zed's without my item 3157 I also tend to play a bit passively instead of as aggressive like others seem to be more prone to, even called too nice by my team and my Current coach in terms of kills and Cs I could take for myself.

With the self-talking rant out of the way~ Here's my questions, I'm sure you can look at my previous few games or my general skills if you wish and I would love to ask what I should do to improve as well as a little help picking a secondary champion, As I am used to playing quite a bit I'm not exactly practiced with most, past my lux days wayyy earlier on. (Ignore the Cho' games, Top is memes more for me anyways) As Maining Ahri but no-one else mid makes it quite hard, so besides asking things about how to improve my general gameplay I also would like advice on who else to pick up and try out, and the general spams of playing Annie to climb isn't my goal here~ I know i haven't put all the super-important details here already but I'm going to respond as best as I can to everyone who talks to try and get some help as i think it's been about time, Or at least my Mmr Says so~

Just glancing at your recent matches I saw a problem right away.....Your cs. You hover near 5 CS per min. Aim for at least 8 CS per min. I guarantee that is the most major thing that will get you out of Bronze. It's how I got out the first time.

Also, another lesser known tip, and something I've never heard anyone talk about anywhere is this: Unless you're an engage tank like Sion, Malphite or Maokai, be the last to go into a skirmish. This is the secret to getting super-fed in Bronze. Whenever there is a skirmish or teamfight happening, wait for shit to pop off and while your team is fighting I want you to sit back and carefully survey the fight and just before it ends, you go in. Everyone will be low and their shit on CD, and no summs and you will have everything. Also, don't risk yourself trying to save someone. Someone does something idiotic, let them die. The reason this works so well is because no one up until Silver 4 actually thinks about what they are doing in a skirmish or team fight. Everyone just goes in on the first thing they can hit with no thought to anything beside their target. All they are thinking about is padding their KDA by killing that specific champ and will often die to a counter engage or ambush, which is exactly why you wait to go in. You can be sure that while they are fighting, they aren't thinking about what you could do to them when they blow all their shit. Don't be them.

Ahhh~ Well the one thing I might have to state just to let me feel better about it is that most of my most recent matches haven't exactly been my best, I either got countered, Was playing someone I wasn't used to, Or was in Aram. but I do agree I need more cs focus, I'm usually not bad with it but, then i start playing a bit too aggressively and end up losing out cause I move lane to lane trying to end people. Though that' second piece of advice is actually something I agree with completely, I end up jumping in and losing any lead I got sometimes, Assassins don't team-jump should be my mindset~
