Ok, so firstly, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ELO HELL. Irelia think this guide is necessary

There might be toxic players, mean guys (and girls), and unskilled players (cough FEEDER cough) but there is no such thing as elo hell so anyone who think that they seem to be suffering in the depths of the bronze hell, well rest easy that there is no such thing.

However, I am NOT saying that there is no such thing as being STUCK in bronze. I've heard many things like: "It's not MY fault!" "I only lose because of DC's and Unskilled players!" but after a while of watching and analysing the game, it's safe to conclude that ONLY YOUR ACTIONS AFFECT YOUR RANK.

Yes, DC's are not Brand new and they probably will cost you the game

Yes, An unskilled player makes the game harder

But NO, These 2 things are NOT what decide the outcome of a game.

You cant ALWAYS have good Lux

My first tip for getting yourself out of Bronze is: Teamwork. Honestly, i can't stress this enough. Elise t TRY to communicate with your team! Most bronze players DO ACTUALLY have the mechanical skills of somebody in silver or maybe low gold. But I can be sure that the reason your still in the lowest possible place in the ladder is because you had bad (cough HOOOOORRRIIIBLLLEEE cough) teamwork and communication.

Mid lane missing? Call MIA (or ghost busters, either one works)

Perfect time for dragon? Ping Help (or S.O.S)

Bot lane gave eNami adc Double kill/ First blood? Ask jgler assistance or tell them to play safe. A bad thing to do is to get Fizz ical

Is there Annie thing worse than Talon your ally that he's bad?? Nopeeee. Urgot to be kidding me if you rage over a death League of Legends is a Psychological game. Based on results from my friend+me, we lost 3/10 games while playing league with a cheery, bright, confident attitude. But however, we lost 6/10 games when we played while we were tired, dropped a division, or felt nervous while playing the game. So if you harass your team-mate after losing a fight, i Garen tee that he will do worse. Besides, if you harass you ally too much, you might have Sivir consequences.

Secondly, You really need to improve on your map awareness. The amount of map awareness people at low elo's have is Draven me crazy! Checking you map every 5 seconds will not be in Vayne 1. When you're not csing, glance at your mini-map. Nobody there? Ok. continue Csing. 2. Try to lean more to the side you have warded (mid lane specials!), then, you have a further place to run if they gank and you have an easier escape! 3. Dont just plop your ward in the bush. Vi don't you plop it down in the river so you know ahead of time where the jungler is.

You're bad at what you play Ok i think this is the key point of Bronzies cough er.. i mean, people placed in the bronze elo. You try to play EVERY SINGLE CHAMP YOU HAVE. Seriously, i think you should stick with 1 champ for each lane, and get better before just hopping into ranked. Play a champion so good that people think that your skill is deZyra ble. Otherwise, you're not playing league right. The mistake that i see every new player make is trying out too many champs. Pick a champ, stick with it, and get yourself out.

And the END! I still have aZilean more things to say about elo hell but i hope this is enough to help you get going. If you're wondering, im not trolling, i'm trying to be Ezreal as i can about this subject, but hope this helps! BAIIIII

As a former Bronze 5 player I'll vouch for this guy, you teammates are capable of playing better than they know they can, encourage them and help them out when they fall behind.

My own small tip of the day is always count before taking a fight, if the enemy team has more then you (or some mia and possibly in the area) then you'd better have a pretty amazing reason to fight. You'd be surprised how many people get frustrated about losing every mid game teamfight and not realizing they were actually outnumbered every time because the team wouldn't group up.

My advice for bronze - choose hypercarry champ (check sites with ratings of best champs for soloq), read guides for him, understand every trickwith him, reach master 5 with him, find easy match ups and hard, learn how do not die and farm vs hard matchups, learn how to ward push frezee end games , learn how to get as much farm as you can, watch minimap, then go to bronze and carry newbies to win. Don't blame anyone for lose - some loses sad but can't be avoided. Gl

Was bronze 4, reached plat 4.
