So last year I managed to climb from Bronze 3 (?) to Gold 5. This year I am stuck in Silver 3 and 4. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I have noticed that I am not longer dominating every game. My win rate last year went from 80% to 60% and currently my win rate is 39%. My elo is way below average according to OP.GG

I really wanna climb to gold again but I don't know what I am doing wrong. Maybe I changed my play style and don't realize it? Thanks any help I can get.[zombie-nunu-bummed] Feelsbadman

OK a big problem i see already you are playing basically every role and different champions every time. If you truly want to climb take 2 roles 2-3 champions in each role simple as that you will go up. Also stay away from the lee sin, thresh and vayne picks or anything highly mechanical (currently high plat elo)

Im just gold myself but I can probably find your mistakes feel free to schedule a lesson right me. http://www.lol-coaching.com/coach.php?id=39757 Just from looking at op.gg you dont really use pinks they are super good so use them. Your cs is incredibly low 3cs a min focus less on trading with your opponent and more on last hitting. Those are most obvious just taking a swift look if you want to go more into detail in a replay I can.

What is very noticeable from your stats:

  • You play too many roles
  • You play too many champions
  • Your CS is very poor per game - focus less on trading and more on farming - this also may be due to you not being very good with last hitting across so many champions
  • You don't really excel at any role (the KDA on all your champs is pretty mediocre)
  • You die too often

The sample size we are looking at is pretty broad so it is difficult to really assess what you are doing well. You play so many champions and roles looking just at win rates and your stats on champions will not give us an accurate representation of your play.

I main one role and play one champion in my main. My next best role is support where I play two champions and then mid follows slightly after that where I play 3 depending on the situation. All the champions I play are lower skill cap champions, meaning they don't have a lot of skill shots and if I make mistakes when their abilities I am not heavily punished. For example MasterYi and Warwick are pretty low skill cap while LeeSin and Nidalee are incredibly high skill cap.

You may also want to try to main "flex" champs. Champions that can play multiples roles. That way you continuously build upon your existing skill with a champion. You play Fizz the most, you may want to try taking him in the jungle, top, and mid to improve your proficiency with him.

Practice other champions and roles in normals but what I would do is pick 1 champion in each role for ranked and only play that champion. You should literally take a few weeks and play from the same champ pool over and over again (ranked or normal).
