Low elo

MasterShadow115·7/29/2018, 4:46:39 AM·10 votes·6,821 views

Why does silver suck just as much as bronze does... I've been hardstuck on silver in solo/duo ever since season 8 started. The highest I have gotten to is Silver 3 and I somehow lost enough to get back to silver 5. I've tried every possible way, I even looked up a shit ton of videos to help me. It helped my game-play, almost every game I play. I've been the main carry yet my other team mates feed so hard and costed us the game. What else could I possibly do. I can't find a duo.. Am I just fucked? I play top lane mid lane I play I'm all out of ideas. Silver elo is bad and i'm determined to get to gold atleast..

So, silver is super easy to get out of. There's generally just one thing you need to know:

#Silver is all about closing out games.

Silver has a pretty wide skill range, but that's the reason people get hard-stuck in the elo. Knowing how to close out a game and secure objectives, even when your team isn't on board, will get you to gold.

In gold, it becomes more about consistency; people know how to win, just not how to consistently play well (particularly being safe).

Silver has a huge rng factor due to new players. Check your team on opgg and dodge unrankeds with bad kdas and winrate. This will save you a lot of games of frustration. Then if you're really better you'll climb

If you really want gold at all cost:

 -limit your champion pool/ roles as much as possible, "1-tricking" is the fastest way, and then a champion to counter it

 -Watch/study high elo players playing your main, or people coaching players playing your main

 -You need to increase your mmr or you'll never get anywhere, your mmr is horrible atm, high mmr makes gaining lp a breeze

 -Dodge if you feel you will lose

 -Have a higher elo player watch your replay with you and examine your mistakes, what you could have improved, or just on your own

 -Study the "meta"/patch tierlists etc., strongest champions in the role that patch, aka the easiest champs to gain lp with

What I found for silver is that you have to be the one who carries. if you dont carry, youre leaving too much up to rng. you have to be able to consistently dominate lane then be able to use that lead. You also have to do your best to not die while also still doing as much as possible. Dont do dumb shit/tunnel vision/etc. Also keep a good attitude. Silver is frustrating but you have to look at what youre doing wrong if you want out.

It's impossible to climb out of silver unless you played at a mid plat level. Anyone who tells you it's your fault is wrong. There's too much RNG in silver for someone to climb out with their own skill. Luck plays a huge factor.

My main account Grab has 734 ranked games this season, 361 wins, 373 loses. Silver 4. My alt account Revoke has 104 ranked games this season, 57 wins, 57 loses. Gold 4.

Why I say people claiming it's your fault for being hardstuck is bullshit; if I deserve to be in silver, 100+ games is more than enough for match matching to drop me down to silver 4. If I belong in gold, then my main account should've been able to climb to at least silver 2, but it can't. Ranked is 80% RNG, 15% attitude, and 5% skill.

Don't play Malphite Mid.

Swap him out for something like Ahri Talon Malzahar

No one buys QSS in low elo so Malzahar gets a free ride.

silver players are about as cocky as plat players, so its insanely easy to tilt them out of lane. figure out a way to tilt them and that is actually the best way to climb. camping a lane is best method to this. last game i had a janna rage quit out of the game after her first 2 deaths and a garen top raging every 60 seconds while afk split pushing and inting the shaco.

silver is hardest elo to climb out of followed by plat1/diamond 5. get out of silver and its smooth sailing from there. there is a reason no one ever ff in silver.

I'm Silver myself, here's a list of champions I think are good in Bronze, Silver and Gold for each role.

Criteria used:

* Easy to play and not too mechanically intense (No Yasuo, Vayne, Lee Sin, Riven, Zed, GP etc) * Can carry in one way or another (CC/Utility, Damage, Split pushing etc)

Top Lane: Akali Darius DrMundo Garen Heimerdinger Illaoi Jax Kled Malphite Kayle Ornn Poppy Renekton Tryndamere MonkeyKing Teemo

Mid Lane: Ahri Akali Annie Heimerdinger Lux Morgana Veigar Velkoz Malzahar Fizz Talon MonkeyKing

I'd recommend not playing the tanks though, unless you are playing Mundo.

Mundo's legit op.

I would say part of it may be you champion pool. They all need to scale up and you want early leads in lower elo.

Silver elo is bad and i'm determined to get to gold atleast

Also try to remember silver elo is average. Something like 50% of the playerbase is in silver and depending what part of silver you are in you are in the upper 50% of all players. Don't make the 1% of players make it sound like you are bad. Not all of us can play 8+ hours a day to get into high elo...

If anyone is interested in carrying me from bronze 3 to silver 4 I would be glad :) I don't really care about climbing higher really but just to get out of bronze and into Silver

Short term climb, CS better and learn wave control, watch other pro players' gameplay with the champ (Not just short combos or neat tricks I'm talking about full length gameplay of both wins and losses), and cut the ego. "I've been the main carry yet my other teammates feed so hard and costed us the game." If you're hardstuck silver and you claim this issue, I'm assuming you're lying about your games. Yes, some of the games you might carry and sometimes your teammates will do bad, but I'm looking at those 4/12/13 Yi games and thos 3/11/8 Rammus games with high death counts by you. Again, cut the ego.

I got out of it with a mix of luck and having a meta one trick.
