Trying to climb

Alberich·Jul 8, 2019·1 votes·1,792 views

So Ive been playing adc for the longest time and my main champions are jhin and jinx, however the problem has now become that if i don't play one of those two champions, the chances of me winning a game significantly decreases, I recently made it to plat 4 and was hoping someone could give me tips on how i could fix this or maybe climb better with them, ive been told multiple times that my laning phase is weak and am unsure of how exactly to improve it. any help is appreciated, thanks again!

Do what I did when I finished getting gold in JG.

Off to Ranked Flexi for training. Admittedly, it's almost as horrible as norms, but not AS bad.

Honestly, your CS is really low for a plat. Focus on CSing, in lane phase, if you're normally hyper-aggressive and comfortable fighting the enemy, use it to your advantage by waiting for them to attack you. Make them do the work while you grab the CS. Once they do, just turn it back on them.

Also, despite your low CS you don't seem to join teamfights enough, probably because you're aware of the CS issue and actively trying to fix it, which prevents you from grouping with allies. Just something you may want to keep in mind. Also, don't chase enemies too long/deep for kills. It's also partly that I think which is pulling away from your CS.

In short: You play like a cat and chase the enemy like a laser pointer, calm it down. Also, this goes without saying, but work on the warding. Your warding even for an ADC is a bit weak, you've also paid for that when being ganked, this also causes CS deficits that can be hard to recover from.

You push hard. You chase hard. You don't ward enough. You don't join your team enough because you're trying to recover from the CS losses generated from above.

This hyper-aggressive play and lack of equal caution to counter balance it seem to be the core of your woes.
