If I can give any advice to those of you that are struggling with the climb to that Graves skin, I would say hard contest every objective and focus much less on kills. If you look at my match history I have a lot of games with fast clear junglers that I've been winning solely because I take all of the herald/drags.

Anyway this is just a low-key "I did it" post but woop.

Or do what I do and spam overpowered champions who became sleeper picks because Riot nerfed them a little bit and everyone said they're fine despite the fact that they really aren't fine.

Being a Morg/Blitz main i am saddened by the fact that Lulu/Janna is required right now... or you get flamed.

Morg can buy Ardent though?

Skorch1 votes

Not wrong, however since Morgs E is a good reaction to CC, Ardent feels like a waste on morg. compared to say lulu, who can just throw it on start of a fight with no repercussions. Her E also has significantly longer CD, and is her only spell that can apply it.

Ardent can work on Morg but is only good because the item is straight broken. Any other time and its an awful buy.

Macro play is pretty much the best way to climb if you're no good with your mechanics like me. I mean, rather than having the twitch reflexes to bail you out when you make the wrong calls, if you're good with macro you never get into those situations in the first place. And you don't get your fingers twisted trying to both focus on the map and hitting the right buttons in the right order in the right timing and instead just focus entirely on the map.

I mean, in silver level games (which most of the people on both teams usually are in my blind picks), those kill chasers don't get that if you don't close out the game, the 0/4 splitpushing Jax at top is going to come back and murder everyone after his 369th cs. I'm guilty of that too, but hey, kda is one of the reasons I still play LoL, which is why I don't play ranked hehe xd.

Yorick is a good way to climb higher he is difficult to shut down and he can just slap turrets like they are nothing

The hardest part about climbing the ladder is finding the interest to bother doing so for me. Rank games are just repetitive and recycled, normal games can actually be fun and ARAM seems to be the most fun mode for me [sg-janna]

This is so true. I usually have to stop since I just get so bored of doing the same thing over and over.

If you need tip to climb to gold you're garbage and should play against bot until you develop some basic skills

CarameI Frappe1 votes

If you watch Worlds or pros play ... they don't win off kills alone. Most want to complete objectives so they can overpower the enemy team when those team fights matter (map pressure, baron / dragon buff/ tower control, ect.)

Also hey! Congrats on reaching Gold man, happy for ya :D

I wouldn't really call that hardstuck considering you were gold in past seasons.
