How to get out of bronze as a sp main

JackieRex09·8/1/2019, 10:30:48 AM·2 votes·1,793 views

On this acc, I used to be Gold 3 but I don't play NA anymore because of the ping. I play on the Garena server (SEA) and I'm currently B1. I can't post this on the Garena forums either because they got removed a while back. On NA, I literally spammed soraka till G3 but on Garena, it hardly ever works. I play Yuumi Zyra Soraka NamiMorganaSona Janna . I would playLeona Nautilus Thresh but low elo adcs literally never go in with me. If I play a carry sp, my adc will do so little damage. If I play a tanky sp, they won't go in with me. Blitzcrank can set up a lot of kills but he's always banned :(. For some reason, even though I'm B1, I go up against gold/plat players and it's just so unfair. All my friends are about Goldish on Garena because they started ranking earlier this season while I'm a latecomer, so they can't duo with me either. For norms, I do pretty well with Leona or Thresh because my friends will actually go in when I do. My female friends all got carried to gold by their bfs and they laugh at me for being bronze because I'm single and have nobody to help me. I don't think I'm that bad, because I've hit gold before by just maining sp but it seems much more difficult to do that now. I would go mid with my morg or zyra but I can't cs to save my life. I have visual perception difficulties so if the minion is at like 200hp, my idiotic brain will think it's at 300hp etc. I can only get maybe 6-7 cs/min so yeah, I'm pretty trash at that. I can jg as well but my smiting leaves much to be desired. My acc on Garena is a new acc so I started at around Iron _ but I've made it to B1. The issue is that I can't really progress from here. My mid laner either feeds their arse off or my adc is a complete moron who is even worse at CSing than I am (3 cs/min is actually a thing). I was contemplating just not playing league because of my perception difficulties but I just want to get to at least silver so my female friends stop laughing at me. My male friends never bring it up but when I'm with friends of my own gender, they just demean me. I personally don't find league very fun anymore but I guess I just want to get out of bronze out of pure spite.

EDIT: Thanks to the person who suggested raka :) I haven't played her in a while but I spammed her and got to S4! :D

Fact that your friends are like that is preety messed up. If them making fun bothers u so much best say something to them about it.

Overall about team issue if can,t pull off nasus. Suggest vel or brand even zil something with alot damage basically 1v5- force potato team to carry. Take this with grain of salt I'm not a support main

I climbed from iron 3 to silver 2 with only playing Velkoz Support.

I just played Bard and won my way out of Bronze.

You want to stick with supports with bigger map presence like Bard and Soraka. Or at least that's how I did it.

My rationale goes as follows:

  • Your aim is to reduce the number of autofill player on your team, and since they are all probably on their main role so they could play reasonably well compared to an enemy team who may or may not have an autofilled support.
  • But ofc, being Bronze they make a lot of mistakes, so your other aim would be to play a support with large map presence and then support not just your lane partner but as many of them as you can. Then they will do the rest.

Support with good map presence and solo carry potential .

I played on an account from iron 2-> plat just playing Soraka Sona Morgana (in the rare case she wasn't banned).

The biggest 2 things you can do is

  1. Poke, poke, poke. If the enemy walks up to cs, throw poke at them. They dont know how to play around this in low elo, so if you do this you can win lane the majority of the time.

  2. respect your enemies. If you have any sort of thought that the enemy could have some way to kill you, be it a bltzcrank hook or whatnot, plan on how you're going to counter that ability before it happens. Think of things like staying behind minions and whatnot. If you cant, then dont step up(think if you have an unwarded jg and there could be a rengar in any bush, dont walk into the jg). Just actively try to think about what could kill you and how you can counter it. Eventually itll be second nature and you can do it for you and your adc easilly.

I'm not going to lie, it's much harder climbing as support unless you really know what you're doing.

If blitz get banned . Try to play pyke .You can take kills with your R and give gold to your teammates by passive (Well....Not the best english :P)

Playing too many champions.
