The problem with climbing

XinZhao2WinNhao··1 votes·704 views

So I've been playing Yi and climbing a lot lately.

Sadly, this means that I am now at an elo where I can only play Yi, and if I play any other champion, I do very poorly.

It gets very annoying because sometimes Yi is banned, or sometimes I just want to play other champions, but I can't play them well at my elo now.

I can't even play Akali anymore, and I have 300k mastery.

That's not the point... in Bronze you can climb to silver with a champion you've only handled once or twice in normals. It's all about general game knowledge... proper positioning, last-hitting, objective control, etc. You don't even need a fair amount of experience on a specific champion to beat most bronzies.

This one-trick handicap really only rears its ugly head in higher elos.

yeah ik.....one tricking is good and makes climbing a lot easier. Esp using easy champions that let you focus on the overall game.

play easier champions and you will have a better success rate. Try trundle jungle. For mid annie. got me to diamond ezpz or just only play malphite and yi. Malphite is extremely good in ur elo and easy as hell.
