Hello Everyone! I'm Shartcabob. I started playing at the tail end of last season as a top lane primary. Ive transissioned into all of the rolls to find what suits me best and I'm in love with mid. This season ive been playing majority Mid in ranked and have a decent KDA with some of my champs but I keep running into a problem. I'm in Bronze 3 but feel like some games I could be much higher. Does anyone have some tips I could use to continue to climb? I recently dropped from bronze 2 and ever since then ive been getting games where my early game is amazing but my team and sometimes myself fall off and eventually they lead to feeding then I become so far behind. I am not saying its my teams fault by anymeasn but what could I do to improve my gameplay and help myself climb to the silver league?

I would say stop playing Leblanc in ranked for now. It looks like you really need to practice her. She is a champ that can carry hard but usually takes a certain level of skill to play. I avoid her because I can't play her well and I find csing with her difficult. Your 25% win as her speaks for itself and you are only averaging 85/cs a game. If you want to keep playing her then you really are going to need to practice csing with her and getting her combo(s) down.

Katarina looks like your other main. She can be pretty good but usually teams will pick heavy cc to counter her. She is good for roaming and picking up kills and snowballing. You have to be careful when you engage and in most games your late game will be dependent on your teammates and if they can have a strong engage and allow you to get your ult off before being cc'd.

Bronze, especially low bronze, turns into a team death match scenario a lot of times. Instead of always running to where the team fight is look for opportunities to push lanes and cs.

without knowing your actaul skill its hard to see where you can improve on. but if your in bronze chances are i should start with the basics

you need to at least have a basic idea of what your lane opponent can do and what their skills are

you need to be able to know WHEN you can get a kill and when you can't.

one problem i have is when i face a champ i NEVER see like Mordekaiser orYorick . i have a VERY hard time with them because i frankly have no idea what their skills do and therefore how to properly face them.. when i can trade and when i cant.

and most imporantly you NEED to learn how each skillshot works.

i have since climbed to silver again but right when the season started and it put me back in bronze it was sad to see how many people would just stand out in the open vs a Blitzcrank or a Thresh

and MOST importantly... it is MUCH more important NOT TO DIE than it is to get a KILL

the best advice i can give you is don't play mid lane in bronze because mid requires warding, awareness, mechanics and the ability to roam but if you choose not to listen to this then all i have to say is main 1 champion, pick the champ you are the best on and play only that ( have one backup) personally i think the best champion for you is Katarina
