Hey all,

I have been trying to climb ranked lately and it hasn't been going so well. I find myself doing well in a lot of games but, i'm not good enough or I get too stressed out by a feeding team. So now i'm trying to figure out which roles impact the game the most at which elo/tier.

My highest rank I got to was plat 1 a couple seasons ago, so I am not the all-knowing diamond 1 who's experienced everything lol These are my picks --

Bronze- Mid and Top::: I just think that solo lanes can snowball EXTREMELY fast in bronze games because usually one player is just way better. lol

Silver- Mid and ADC::: Players are better but, roams are really easy due to lack of communication which can snowball a skilled mid laner. As for adcs.. supports are usually just as good as each other, so if u can get fed on adc it's usually not too difficult to keep your lead going.

Gold- Jungle and Support::: (my current tier) Ok, ok hear me out.. so pretty much gold players have low self esteems, and each lane can tilt really hard if put behind early.. so jungle is very influential to who stays in a good mindset and plays it out. As for support, well like 95% of the games that I see won, the support is usually doing their job wonderfully, low deaths high assists, warded map, etc. so there must be a relation.

Plat- Jungle and Top::: Plat is very trollish to me, it's like they are skilled players but either don't care to get diamond, or they just play for fun. Lots of teamfights, throws, and objective battles... so this is what a good jungler is perfect for. As for top, the meta these days seems to have a lot of top laners who can solo carry the game and top gets ignored more often because of dragon control so when that olaf or riven is 4-0 it's a great feeling lol.

Diamond- Mid and ADC::: I've never been here so it's just an educated guess, but i'm pretty sure when you get to diamond, you know how to teamfight and focus targets, you're pretty comfortable with your limitations on your champ, and your decision making is pretty good.. so Mid and ADC are the main damage dealers in the game, and I assume most diamond games get to the teamfight stage, where damage dealing and staying alive is essential.

Master/Challenger- Support and Jung or Top::: Obviously I haven't been here either, but I choose support because I think engaging fights and keeping vision everywhere needed is the most important things because most players are very skilled mechanically. Jung and Top are just 2 other's who can engage and make big plays with their champ kits, which Is probably how a lot of challenger games are won.

TL;DR--- which 2 roles are best for carrying each elo? give your feedback below.

I know this was kind of long but I am bored and felt llike doing it. lol thanks for reading

PLEASE SHARE WITH ME WHAT YOUR OPINION IS! THAT'S THE POINT OF THIS! --(you can just go up to your current tier if you like)

Every lane can be influential in any elo. The most influential by definition is always jungle and mid though. They get to focus on any part of the map they want and are almost always involved in objectives.

Bronze:

Mid/Jungle. You farm players, not minions. Really anything except support is good here, but mid/jungle has the most potential for kills.

Silver:

Mid/Top. You can still farm players, but you can't 1v3 easily anymore. Mid/top gets a lot of gold and you can impress team-mates by winning lane. It's important that your team listens to you when it comes to objectives or ending the game. Mids and tops often can also initiate. It's important that you provide a direction to players in Silver.

Gold:

Mid/Jungle. Players here need just as much direction as in Silver, but now they won't listen. It's best if everyone's just winning. Gold is the worst place to fall behind, since people give up more easily and rage more easily. Mid/Jungle can help out other lanes, to try to keep things positive.

Plat:

Mid/ADC. Players here usually know what's up. You just need to outplay the other people. Better mechanics get you to Diamond. Mid/ADC are the most demanding classes mechanically, where there's potential to outplay.

Diamond:

Jungle/Support. With the exception of D5, winning here is either a team effort or snowball. Vision becomes much more important, as does pressure. Decisions in general are more important than mechanics, and supports/junglers make important decisions.

Above:

Who knows. I'd guess Mid/ADC. Just as Plat-Diamond is just being better, Diamond-Challenger is probably just being better. Mid/ADCs have things they can do where small changes matter.
