I seriously need some tips to climb. Before we dive right in why, I will narrate one of my games.

So, right before a teamfight, I say VERY CLEARLY "Go in when I ult. Since they're crowding up on each other, I think they will get caught by my ult. (I was playing fizz btw)" Couple of my teammates say "alright, sure. I agree on that." So, I ult, I go in. I pinged TWICE also. But you know what my team does? Back off. They just let me die. My prediction was true also. They crowded up on my ult, and they got caught in it. I picked off one, while the remaining four was about 75% ish health. THEN, my team decides to go in, and dies. I said to my team "What happened?" One of my team goes, "Sorry, I thought we wouldn't had that." Now, you might complain in the comments "PEOPLE HAVE CHOICES YOU RETARD!!!" Well, when Xayah, Lee Sin, and Fiora used their ult, I would think we had it for sure. On our side, we had blitz, mf, and kled had ult. So, now you know why I need tips how to climb.

Just keep playing. Find a good partner(s). Also post your rank and goal.

But from what I have read. Why the hell are you diving into a 5-man as Fizz. That is your mistake. It may work but that isn't what an assassin normally does. You should stay in the wings and try to find that high value carry to kill off. You might have, you said you got one. But going 1for1 is bad, you should always hope to get out. The fact that your team lost the 4v4 also means your target might not have been the highest value afterall.

Additionally you had a BLITZ on your team. Let him start the engage. You had a Lee Sin on your team. Let him try to kick an engage maybe.

Sure you can engage. But you guys have no tank, why are you diving into a 5-man.

Your cs is super garbage. Like usually bronze 5 is 4 a min, yours is 2. That's so bad. That's only like 40 gold a minute when it should be AT LEAST 6 cs a min. That's your primary gold source so it really shouldn't be neglected. 17 cs is equal to about 1 full worth kill (kills are worth less the more they die in a row)

Hey there - Gold/Platinum/Diamond support main here - I'll offer you 4 pieces of advice: Goodluck!

1.) If your playing any sort've assassin, you should really try to let the tanks initiate. Remember that you are always a target. Going in first is dangerous, even if your as slippery as Fizz. Based on your above scenario, I believe you could use help with positioning. This is a critical lesson. I have a goal for you - Attempt to die less. specifically,** try to die no more than 5 times per game**. I want you to look at my deaths in my match history, then look at yours. One of the biggest things that separate platinum and above players from the rest is that they have figured out how much a death really costs them. In short; you are dying way to much.

2.) I'd suggest picking a favorite 'in-meta' champion and trying to master them exclusively. It allows you to focus on other aspects of the game, and you'll learn how to overcome the champions shortcomings by beating bad matchups. When you get comfy with a given champion, you can start focusing on all other aspects of the game like enemy champions, who is fed, who is weak, warding, objectives, CSing, ect ect.

3.) Focus on YOUR OWN PLAY. Have an internal goal each game - and it can't be 'I want to win' ..It needs to revolve around your own play - like 'I want to die less than 5 times' is a perfect goal! or 'I want to have item X by 15 minutes' is another great goal. If you only focus on if you win or lose, you will burn yourself out and become frustrated. Each game, play to YOUR OWN PERSONAL BEST. Did you win? who the phreak cares - how many ultimates did you land? Focusing on the details is what will make you a better player, especially over the longer term. If you played your absolute best and still lost, then you probably had an awesome game - and ultimately - that's what it's all about.

4.) You seem to like the diver assassin archetype here, so my final piece of advice is to be more mindful of objectives, rather than kills. Pushing is your ultimate goal. Getting fed is great, and that will DEFINITELY let you carry and win games, but too often these types of players get carried away, and make bad plays because they think they can score a kill because they are fed. You can single-handedly put a team back into the game by making a bad dive and getting caught, even if you get the kill. So in short, calm down - be still like the waters, and let your enemies make mistakes. Don't risk yourself for needless kills.
