Who must I play in order to get out of bronze?

ThaPizzaMan·May 11, 2016·3 votes·717 views

I've been silver the past 2 seasons, I'm 24 i've been playing since I was 16. I would take last seasons bronze over this bunch of morons any day. I'm typically not toxic but, it's as if I get on the dumbest team 7/10 times. I went from silver promos all the way to bronze 3. I'm sure someone will say "your just tilted" or something of the sort but, I've played one game today after i got home from work.. had an afk for 5 minutes and an adc that went like 2/15. Also it doesn't help that you reworked malzahar my main champion he gets banned every game and I was winning games with him easily before you reworked him.

Good job not reading the entirety of his post kappa. What OP was good at isn't available. What he should be aiming for are the champions that riots most recent changes(the ones made this season) have well favored. So not squishy ap assassins(Leblanc), Cassiopeia(as she has 37% global winrate), or any of the trule devourer dependents. New Vlad is fairly easy to read so don't use him either. With the current state if OP can go top with Malz(unless into Vlad) he should, but else wise he should be looking at things like Annie and Zed. Either AD or sustain based AP mids.

Doesn't change anything.

You continue down the line to the next thing you are good at.

So the point remains, always play what you are good at, from the Best on down.

If he rocks as Cass, then her Overall WR doesn't matter. His skill with Cass vs. his Opponent is what matter. His odds are best when he plays what he is best with. Every single time.

It's why you get "Urgot Only" guys in Diamond. It doesn't matter that Urgot sucks, or Urgot Sleeper OP, it matters that they are damn good with Urgot.

I've taken Old Shen mid and countered the likes of LB, Akali, Katarina and Malz... because our Mid saw the pick and didn't want to face them. Because I was simply better at Shen than they were at their champ, I won my lane and contributed to Wins.

It really is not the Champion that matters, but your ability to utilize the Champion more completely than your opponent.

So again... Play What You Are Good At.

Only 6 Bans in a Game... they can't ban every one you are capable of playing.

Play a tank. A Tank is very forgiving of your mistakes. If you make less mistakes, then eventually you'll get matched with other people who make less mistakes. Soon, your entire team will, more often than not, make far less mistakes than the enemy team, leading to your team winning. Do this enough times and eventually, you will climb.

I feel your pain. The key is to play champions that don't need teammates to succeed. For example, champions like Galio and Maokai are VERY strong in team fights, but they have a very hard time carrying a game. Personally, I like Trundle since he can 1v1 (or even 1v2) like a beast, can split push aggressively, scales well into late game and can fill the two least teammate dependent roles (Top and Jungle).

In my opinion, while I'm not the best ranked player I find I have the most success on champs that have strong laning phases and can build up a lead either through cs or kills during laning phase. However the best strategy at low levels is to play the champs you feel most comfortable on. The different strength gaps do not mean nearly as much at low rankings where players commonly don't know the truly right way to play that strong champion. If you can perform 90-100% on a B-C tier champion and are against someone performing 50-60% on an S-A tier champion, you will most likely have an advantage.

My main is Gnar. Not the strongest top laner right now but I know how to play him and I know his strengths and weaknesses and I know my limits on the champ so I am able get the most out of him in lane and in team fights.

Bronze is a place with few mechanics and little knowledge. If you have some of either, or both, with a champion you can abuse that champion all the way to silver.

Technically, playing what you're best at is the best, but i'll just leave recommendations for each role Top- Renekton Rumble Trundle Illaoi Nasus Jungle- Kindred Warwick MasterYi Amumu Fiddlesticks Mid- Ahri Velkoz Ekko Veigar TwistedFate ADC- Sivir KogMaw Corki Kalista Draven Support- Bard Alistar Lux Some of these champion only work well in the lower elos, so change tactics later on For the higher ups, mastering Azir and Zed is great, incredibly powerful if mastered.

You play since 2009 and still Bronze/Silver? This is really sad. And btw, get out of bronze with splitpush champs is really easy.

Well that's rude I'm sorry, I don't meet your standards.

spam your champion.

Honestly I don't think what champ you play matters. You just need to focus on the basics. When you don't jungle your CS/min numbers are really low. If you worked on just getting those up, warding more, and focusing on more objectives you'd probably win a lot more games. Having a gold advantage is extremely important and right now you are missing a ton of gold because you are being inefficient with your play.

Also, when you die you should always ask yourself "how could I have prevented that death." Don't focus on what your team did wrong that caused you to die, only focus on what you did wrong because you are the only person who you can control.

play ad carry because as a matter of fact. you either have the worse adc or the better one. if the are worse. you usually lose. so play adc. adc is one of the easier positions to carry from.

You guys still aren't understanding what i'm asking, I just played a game with fizz went 10/7/6 (yes i know the deaths are a little high) I play fizz so i can roam gank and carry. I gave the team advice, even coached them into getting baron but, we still lost.

It seems you have to split push your way out of bronze.
