How do I climb??

NìghtKnight·2/12/2018, 3:04:34 AM·1 votes·392 views

So i took my placements during January and went 2 and 8. I was just so tilted. I got placed into Bronze 1. I was ready to climb then I went on a massive losing streak dropping me down to Bronze 5.

I've played so many games and I"m currently hardstuck bronze. My teams are just so "creative". I often carry my teams by either trying to save them in team fights if we're behind or just split push as often as I can. I need advice on how to win more games without relying on my teams. Any advice from ANY elo would be much appreciated.

At the lower levels of Bronze you can more or less direct your team to victory alone, maybe coordination with a jungler for Rift Herald and Dragon.

From looking at your matches, you should try to get more CS. The "golden" cs per minute is 10 and in some matches you did not breach 100 after more than 20 minutes. Things like Ravenous Hydra help a lot for farming minions quicker, but you have to remember than minions = gold.

Since you are playing Riven, take advantage of your leads and farm your lane for minions and attempt to take your tower. If you find that your team is too unreliable, continue your lane forward for more towers and minions. At some point the enemy team will have to deal with you and if you are someone like Riven they will have to send 2 people more often than not. This gives your team a 4v3 situation and if you have teleport and managed to kill the people sent you can decide whether or not you can continue taking towers down/inhibitor or teleport in to help your team push.

As a general note, if you are feeling tilted just stop playing for a bit and come back with a fresh mind and remember to try and focus minions more. Don't force fights unless there is no risk involved (like your death or loss of an important objective like Baron).

Don't pick JG (too little EXP and Gold). Go even/win your lane. Play someone with decent wave clear.

Push waves and attack/destroy towers safely (underline the word SAFELY, keep watching the mini-map). Once you get good at walking around the map SAFELY but aggressively... and looking at the minimap to avoid the enemy army... you will win more games.

Ignore your team. They'll chase, Ping, do pointless fights/chases. You just focus on that minimap, getting those towers, hitting those minions, and dying as little as you can.

The game isn't "who has the most kills"... the game is... are the minions moving towards their base or your base, who has more towers?

The game is... Minimap, Towers, Minions... forget all about the specific champions in the game.

Climb.

Die as little as possible.

That's all there is to it as far as Bronze is concerned.

Ok so im gonna actually put a bit of effort into helping you so since you are asking please accept the criticism I'm about to give as well as others give.

First off you build decently, there are games where you had some high ap champs on the enemy team and built hex drinker and stuff. the big thing I would criticize is you never finish your boots. boots can literally win your lane, they have early defensive stats that can keep you alive, there are some games you play 4 ad champs with little CC and go merc treads, here's how to break it down. look at their team comp and evaluate CC look to see how many auto-attack base champs the enemy team has. then get either ninja tabi or merc treads. Usually you finish them fairly early like after first item or on a big back. assuming you continue to play bruisers top.

Secondly: Your champ pool sucks, now there is nothing wrong with having fun, but maining someone like riven wont get you anywhere, unless you are mechanically gifted you wont make it far on her, she dont carry unless you stomp lane 9/10 games. My recommendation for a champ that will get you to silver in a couple days is Renekton Renekton Renekton has engages and disengages. burst dmg, sustain, natural tankiness, literally the best top laner in the game for noobs to play. when you learn his combos its first blood every game level 3. Take ignite every game, don't waste your time on TP. nobody in your elo will ward so its useless. Chances are you dont use it correctly also, no offense. Here is a rune page to take, dont take spellbook. take whatever makes you win lane hard. Laning is everything in low elo. https://gyazo.com/b854c12af3e57099982502403bc5dbbf

Another important thing. Farming!!! literally cannot stress this enough, your farm is terrible, you average 3-4.5 cs a game, you never have gold. you need to stop auto pushing the wave, sit there and last hit minions and only last hit until you get good at it then learn wave manipulation. EVERYTIME you base instantly look at your map and all 3 lanes, if there is one pushing to you then go to it and push it out then base or look for a roam or even scuttle for real tho if you asked me for help i would tell you day after day just focus on csing. set goals and be disappointed if you dont get them. Start with this Every game i want you to get: 70 CS @ 10 Minutes 100 CS @ 15 Minutes 160 CS @ 20 minutes this is like gold cs. its a joke to obtain if you focus on it, for real. make goals for yourself and work on one thing. If you focus all your attention on CS'ing for 10 games and hit this goal every time. you then move on to something else and the farming becomes natural.

Renekton tips. Early Tiamat is good Black cleaver is essential most games. Power spike is at 3. you E/Auto/W/Auto/Q/Auto and dash out. Master that combo for trades. you get so fast at it that they cant react Rage bar is very important, unlike other champs renekton autos minions a bunch because it builds rage. Q'ing minions and the enemy also builds rage, if possible trade at 50 rage, go for the kill at 100, if you rage on your W and Q with 100 stacks with ignite you kill anyone early or even late. Since Renekton always pushes buy a pink every back, place it in river so you have vision.

Aside from that it comes down to how commited you are, the best advice i can give you is that losing wont prevent you from getting to where you deserve to be. take it one game out of time, brush off the games you get wrecked because people are better then you. there is always someone better, learn from it. Brush off the games where you stomp and your team sucks, it happens. League is literally about keeping a 50% wr and you will climb.

Always use this site: http://www.probuilds.net/ search the champ and use it, they are pros for a reason.

This is the most imporant tip. Watch these videos closely and you instantly will be better if you learn to absorb the info. for real, best damn guide ever and if i could share it with every person who struggles i would, honest to god best videos ive come across: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iko2tqmDpJQ&index=1&list=PL9RdXhXESRJzgY_SwHB8T-cZxXljWhQvz

If you have any questions add me in game. i have no problem helping you: Furión

The only LEGIT ways to climb are communication and hoping to don't have a team full of monkeys. League is team game, if you are jungler just ping if u are about to gank because some people don't have map awareness and let's not forget warding in general. If the enemy team tries to take the ocean or cloud just let them because it's not as important as infernal or mountain.

UPDATE: I recently played a game with my team and we got demolished. Our team was abolutely terrible and most of our team fed. Our pantheon just "Kill secured". So my question is was there a better way to carry my team.
