Rising out of Bronze as a gold player

So my brother and I play LoL together a lot and sometimes a few buddies too. So 2/5 and 3/5 in ranked teams. We want to know what champs have the highest capability in helping us move back out of low elo.

Not enough data - we don't know your playstyles, your preferences, or your synergy.

As a general rule, your comfort/pocket picks are usually the way to go. Something you play a lot will almost always be more consistent than attempting to counterpick or take the FotW champs. As for these three...

Hecarim recently got a buff, so he's likely to be banned more often and I wouldn't bother atm. Udyr is really strong against melee heavy teams. Even if they're high mobility mids like Akali or Yasuo, they cant do much if they don't end up on top of you. By contrast, Xin is stronger against more immobile or range heavy teams. BY FAR the best pick into Syndra, Lux and Veigar since his ult negates their stupidly op ultimates.

Both aren't bad. But if you like Udyr and Hecarim, you can always try your hand at Skarner. He's pretty adaptable and has multiple build paths and rune setups. My personal favorite with a duo though is Phase Rush "kidnapper" Skarner whose job is basically to Ghost in, land E, auto for stun, ult and drag his victim at a high rate of speed so far out of position there's nothing anyone can do to help them. With a damage dealing duo, it's almost freelo

I should add that I was gold in season 4 and fell out for a while, I still perform well but tend to get drug down be feeders and incompetent players

II think its a tie between Hecarim and udyr imo. Both are very strong duelist and snowballers and can basically take over the game. Xin is not good atm, the exp nerfs hit him too hard, if you fall ever slightly behind early then you're screwed.
