Listen up silvers.

Hello,

My name is Yeniboi. If you're silver and reading this, sit down. It's time we had a talk.

It seems at first glance that mid-silver is the graveyard for common sense. What it is in actuality is a painful point of puberty in your League career. (Yes I know that higher brackets say the same, but the post is called 'listen up silvers' so...know you audience.)

We have somewhat of a paradox. Players in silver are beginning to think of league as a team game. They also have a recognizable level of skill on some champions. But more often than not you fall back into your bronze comfort zone and fk up your own game. That being said.

I'm here to help.

Here's a a quick top 10 things to know that, if i was betting on silver player to know them, you probably dont.

1. Wards...Not gold, kills, even skill or time played equals the power of vision. If I have to explain to you why vision is so important, think of a blind date. Whats the first thing you want to know. Is she good looking? Or is she Donald Trumps failed abortion going on 20 something years.You can't hit what you can't see.

2. If you're building 5 damage items you are wrong... I'm not going into the specifics of each champion. But 99% of the time, you are gonna see diminishing returns. I have to explain diminishing returns to you don't I?

Imagine giving your mother a macaroni plate that spells your name. The first time she's elated that you thought of her. The second time she laughs at the coincidence. The third time she grabs you by the throat and locks you in the safety box for 2 hours while she calls her friend Richard so they can exercise while your dads away......just me? Fair enough.

TLDR: with 4 damage items and one tank/utility. You WILL kill more things, win more fights and win more games.

Stop playing Jax/Rengar/Irelia/Khazix/Wukong like they're glass cannons. Idiots.

3. I just realized I don't have enough time to bestow my wisdom on you. I could right a top 10 just for itemization.

So instead of explaining the reason for all the critical gameplay mechanics half of silvers aren't aware of. I'm going to write a top 10 FUNDAMENTALS you need to know before you can even think about getting out of silver. Point is if you don't know what this means, you need to go find out. And if you DO know what it means, you probably don't. At least not fully.

1. Itemization.
2. Rotations.
3. Team comp
4. Peeling
5. Trading
6. Farming
7. 'Worth'
8. Fed
9. Late game
10. CC (crowd control.)

I wish I had more time to explain everything. But I don't. Add me if you would like to know more.

V/r,

Yeniboi
