QwertyKing··2 votes·2,276 views

I've been playing this game since late season 5, and started playing ranked in season 6, but I still can't climb. I don't blame my team, because I can't carry them 1v9. Anyone can please help me with tips, check my mm history?

I mean, you seem to be doing okay on Hecarim and Kayn. I would say try and focus hard on just trying to grind it out with them, maybe find 1 more jungler you feel comfortable and confident on. As far as in game I'm sadly not very good at jungle so can't give any great advice on that front, but keep warding up vision can win games. I see you usually only buy like 1 control ward, try and get in the habit of seeing if you can always have one on you. Other than that I'd suggest getting a jungler's input, and tough it out.

Okey. Thank you. Question is, do I seek after meta junglers, or rely on any type of jungler, because, if you play well with with any champion, you can still carry..? And also, my highest experience in the game is adc role...bit in s9 I just can't play it, I lose lane, and all I want, is to finally get out of Silver. I was at Gold promos, but sadly lost them :/

ADC is a very tough role. Don't worry about meta, play what you enjoy and feel comfortable on. I played Zoe and Anivia to get out of Silver, neither are meta (Zoe was for a time) but I even played her when she took her first big nerf and everyone said she was gutted, because that was a champ I was going to play.

Also you don't have to carry, sometimes you carry, sometimes you get carried, and sometimes you make decisions that enable somebody else to carry. It's why as a midlaner if I get a lead I try and think "Where can I use this lead to help the rest of the team get ahead." And that's important, cause I think too many people stuck in silver and bronze rely on "I must be the hero or we've lost." If you are carrying, share the success, get other people ahead. If you're behind think "What can I do to help the person who isn't stay there."

This is a reallg advice. Some games I carried game solo, but as You mentioned, players don't share their success, and I can agree when I play shadow Kayn, kda 20/2/3...you can't rely on your team anymore...because they are not strong enough to play small fights.

On my phone roght now so its too much of a hassle to check your mm. What roles and champs do you play? Have any specific game plans? Do you build thr same thing no matter what?

Would you like advice on how to get better or advice on how to climb easier becaise theyre not necessarily the same thing.

Most experience I have with Jhin, Draven, Vayne. Their mastery score is above 100k, but I can't play adc role this season, because of my win ratio as adc is in a bad position. Currently I play with Kayn, which has 56.7% wr in about 65 games, other than that..that is it. I know, my champion skill is alright, but I think I want to know how to climb faster. If possible, I want an advice, how to climb, without premade. Because it is hard to find one. I wanted to start maining Kled, or Irelia, but I don't know Top lanes real purpose, but I do know how Junglers and Adc purpose, just that I find hard to climb.

Since you already have experience jungling, I suggest you try MasterYi Udyr

I'm not good at the game, but I once made an account and climbed from bronze to gold very quickly by picking those two and powerfarming the jungle.

It works with hardcore splitpushing champs as well like Tryndamere .

Step1.) /muteall Step2.) avoid any and all fights.
Step3.) powerfarm the jungle, powerfarm empty lanes, splitpush.

Even if you're 0/0 in a 25 minute game, assuming you're building item 3074 item 3153item 3124 and more AD, you'll splitpush an empty lane faster than the other team can 4v5 your team.

Alright. I will try playing Udyr in jungle. Never played him, but I am willing to try him out. Trynda I can try in top lane aswell, but what if Im matched against Urgot, Irelia? Wouldn't I lose lane? Or main goal is to just Farm and avoid any fights ealry and let my jungle to gank top. Also, ty for advice

Play the waiting game if you go tryndamere top. He's pretty strong in lane but if you do end up losing,just sit under tower knowing that you can't be dived with your ult. Eventually they'll get bored while you keep your CS up and as soon as y ou see them in a different lane that's when you push hard.

In uncoordinated games and especially in low elo, most teams don't know how to properly handle split pushing.

Last I checked the basic requirement for this was the split player still needed the mechanical ability to deal with them sending 2+ to the lane and to 1v1 anybody.

Keiaga1 votes

Nope. You can just run away

Kai Guy1 votes

Running away requires map awareness, vision control, and failing that the mechanical ability to not get locked down.

Running away from 1v1 all game on split champions results in a pretty high amount of time spent traveling, not getting cs not getting towers not getting exp, not helping make any impact.

Be clear with players on the basic mechanics for splitting if your gonna tell folks to do it.

Keiaga1 votes

Nah it takes significantly less effort on your part to run away,especially with the champs i listed, compared to actively participating with the game. Its pretty braindead and builds lots of bad habits but its effective in climbing to gold even if you have next to no knowledge about macro play

Ever wonder why champs like teemo and trynd are so annoying? One of the reasons is because it takes more time and resources to stop them from splitting than they lose from getting stopped.

what i do personally is play other roles and other champions just so i get an idea of how every champion works and how to counterplay them. What you need to understand is that first you need to learn mechanics and whatnot, then after you learn the game, its just a mindgame from that point on. Example, I saw the jgler up top so I guess I can play around botside, if i throw this skillshot at this player, is he the kind of guy that jukes to the right, left, or not at all. After learning the game you gotta learn how to maximize your time depending on how the enemy team plays. Other than that, you can also learn a lot from watching streamers. I'm currently plat rn but I've played with friends in masters/challengers (before grandmasters was introduced) they say I'm better than 90% of the people they come across so honestly I wouldn't mind about ranked as much seeing as how matchmaking and balance is at an awkward place right now.

Do you watch any Youtubers? I just started playing in the middle of s8 and I watched a lotta SRO (for toplane) and Kingstix (for jg) which really helped me get to gold in those respective lanes.
