Hello Community,

I come to you asking for assistance in this dire time. I am stuck in Silver, and I have been wavering from Silver 3 to Silver 5. I don't think I am necessarily a terrible player, but, then again, maybe I am. So I come to you all asking for some tips. I don't know what to do exactly to start winning. Any tips at all would be really great because I'm just not doing too hot lately.

Thanks for hearing me out!

Well you have to be pretty bad to be silver lets get that out of the way. Not being mean just true too many players think they arent bad when in reality its glaringly obvious they are. Your op.gg has you playing champions way out of your skill range like nidalee khazix , hell your entire top 10 is besides lissandra. Play stuff like annie, liss,yi learn the game more and you will rank up then you can come back to the harder champions once you get in the upper tiers of diamond.

i think you play too many champs in ranked. comfort picks > counters. honestly in low elo counterpicks rarely ever matter anyways. i climbed out of silver by picking leona into morgana a bunch of times and i still won because im fuckin great at leona.

just focus on mastering a small amount of champions. in ranked i literally only play 3 champions. if you want to learn more champions there's nothing wrong with that, but take the time to learn them. don't play lissandra just because you googled "what counters zed" and decided, hey, lissandra can't be that hard right? while rushing nashor's tooth and getting your ass kicked because zed is good at zed and you are Not good at lissandra.

also i looked at your match history so more specific tips.. don't buy devourer if you're not going to be able to get sated in a 30 min game lmao. you do have to commit to farming if you want to have the sated powerspike.

I think you need to narrow down you champion pool a bit. If your sole goal is climbing then you should only be playing 2-3 champions per role and focus on mastering those champions.

Same can be said for roles. In your past 20 ranked games you've played every role except ADC. Its certainly possible to climb being a jack of all trades but its going to take you a lot longer.

CS/min looks about average but definitely could be a little higher. Pink wards, damage to champions, etc all look good.

KDA seems to be your biggest issue. If you look at every single champion you play with >3 KDA you also have a positive win ratio. Once you drop below 3 KDA your win ratio becomes more shaky. I've noticed the exact same thing in my games. As long as I average >3 KDA per game I tend to have a positive win rate and I'll climb. What this translates to is that whenever you die you should think "how could I have prevented that death?" Over time you will stop making those mistakes that are causing you to die. If you are able to die 1 or 2 times less per game I bet you will see your win rate improve enough that you'll climb.
