I have returned to League of Legends after a long break, and I was looking for some lads to help give me some feedback to improve my game based on my match history.

Vision and restraint.

Most of the people I see that have trouble climbing are too aggressive at the wrong times. Figuring out your conditions for winning a fight is very important, and then stick to those conditions!

Looks like you're already on the right track. Just keep playing only a few champions and you'll get better over time. Looks to me like you just need to play more. If you wanna get better you can watch replays of your games to figure out what you did wrong and what you can do better.

Tis I the odyssey sage. I guess I gotta be general knowadge sage now. But don't get the wrong idea! It's just this time!

My sage senses see garen. One word... Two words for you: thrinity force. Now go kick some butt. J4??? Hmm that's what I see: Go lethality on that boy and one shot those ADCs %%%%%s. (please boards overlords I am trying to help for once) Vi is a jungle tho. SO try her there with worrior's, bc and sterak's and then full tank. You can carry games like that (or just go lethality. who cares) Morg support with normal items? You sure have a good sense of humor xD. Get first lvl ward item then twin shadows I guess and then go full ap and "support" your adc Ahri - two things here - Glacial augment and twin shadows. Thank me later.

That's all from the odyssey/general knowladge sage based on ~~your match history~~ my sage visions. If you have anything to ask I am here (any book to recommend?). If you want less meme-y reply you can ask for that too but that's basically how to improve the champion itself. You can't be faker tho after a year of break. Take your time, build the champions correctly and you will find the difference.

One thing I think is very important is to know the other champions capabilities. Most of the time you aren't planning to die, ESPECIALLY in laning phase. Every time I die in laning phase, although I may get insanely tilted how some champions Akali Zed have insane capabilities for no reason, I acknowledge that and attempt to play around it. Know that dying is REALLY REALLY BAD and avoiding it at all costs. "Its just one death" you might think, but 1 death puts you behind because you miss cs/xp, and it gives your opponent free cs/xp/tower gold, which inevitably hurts your teammates, which leads to losses. I didnt even mention the kill gold ontop of that.

Cs is also very important, especially when you feel you cant win a lane. You average 3.7 cs per minute on lux OUCH. CS is essentially a risk free way to get gold. Imagine you averaged 5 cs per minute, which is still below average. Using a guesstimate of 25 - 30 gold on average per cs, in a 20 - 30 minute game, you could get an extra 650 - 1170 gold. That may not seem like alot but it adds up over time. I also very much think I am underestimating the average value per cs, as it increases as the game goes on.

Build is also VERY important. I don't know the builds for every champion but usually I look up top korean players on said champion and copy build/runes.

Trading, which is related to knowing champion capabilities, is also important. You win a trade when you get more value, not necessarily damage, out of hitting them. I know this "value" concept is especially useful on vlad. I may q and take A LOAD of damage for it, but that q may put them in the threshold where I know I am able to kill them from. You may take more damage but have your jungler right there to back you up.

If you want to see your stats you can go to this website https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/summoner/na/dpceee Its how I saw your avg cs but it has a lot of other things too.

If you find yourself losing to a champion consistently, play that champion for awhile to learn it's in and outs, you will do much better vs them later on.

One thing you can do is find a good site that has comparable builds/orders. When you can agree on certain builds figure out if you want to farm by controlling the wave///Or Duking it out with your opponent when you feel safe. Find a few favorites in each role...One big thing to look out for!( IF you are needing to spend your resources to farm you may need to control the wave to get it closer to your tower as you will be easier to gank, ALso you won't be able to trade as much when you opponent feels like trading with you.

If you have more thoughts to add I'll be around

Thanks everyone for the advice. I will certainly be focusing on upping my CS game. I know that it is admittedly bad. It was the skill that garnered the most rust in my time off. I will have to try out that trinity force on Garen next time that I play him. Also thanks for that stats website, it is actually quite useful!
