How to play better in a lower elo
Hello guys my name is Tyler and i'm here to hopefully help you with your gameplay and help you grind out of that lower elo! (Even though I am silver :P)
Due to my amount of game experience I know what works in the game and what doesn't. You may not be grinding and gaining elo due to the fact that you play early game cheese champions or due to the fact that you still haven't full gotten the jist of how to build all your champions or whether you haven't gotten the champions select down yet.
There are many key components that go into winning a game and some are very simple. Some of these things may just be how to itemize against the enemy team and some of them may just be communication and talking with your team mates. I have been on a team before so i personally know how key communication is. Whether its just a couple pings or not could make the difference for a lane. IF you ping that your lane is mia you can make sure that other lanes play safer and that they don't get caught being over extended then getting ganked by your lane (This will make them rage if you don't signal :P) Other things just as saying good job to a person after they get a kill or when they make a good play can give them more incentive to do better in this game.
Lets start off with just saying that most games can be decided in champion select but its not always a
teed win. When you are in champion select make sure that you work with your teammates on the picks and bans. Make sure that you get three prefered bans of your team then make sure that you try to build your comp around one or two people. Building the comp around one or two people should give the jungler the incentive to camp these lanes and try to get them fed if they are getting shoved in. Building your comp around the ADC or the Mid laner can have it so that your team can either be an all in comp or they can be a protect the ADC comp and both of these comps work very well. If you pick early game cheese champions at least make sure that you are grabbing objectives and that you are closing out the game early so that they can't come back and win.
Alright now on to more stuff. Building your champion :D. When you are building your champion don't always go the same build every game and don't always go the recommended items because these items don't work in every situation. For example if you are the ADC and you normally build lets say
but there is a crazy tank on the enemy team. Are you really going to continue to build the same item? Well lets hope not. If you itemize for the enemy team and instead of getting that item you get this
this will allow you to kill the tank earlier and make teamfights a lot easier. Building correctly is a key essential to the game since how you build will shape just how strong you are. Pay attention to the enemy team and focus on how they build and adapt to it. Here is another example. So in the mid lane there are two close range mids lets say
and
Now lets say the ekko is building
you may want to itemize into an
This item will help you against the ekko due to the fact that it will not only give you ap but it will also lower his MR and give you MR.
Thats about all I have for now so I hope that this helped :). If you still seem to be struggling I would love to help anyone that needs it so don't be afraid to add me and give me a shout!. Hope this helped everyone :D
