Enough of the trolls in this game
Plat/Diamond smurf here. Disclaimer, I dont main adc, I hardly play it
Completing my placements. And I have to say you guys in bronze and silver have it hard.... I decided to play normals with a bunch of bronzes and silvers today and the games certainly are not balanced. I cant imagine how bad it must be in ranked
Rough Idea of what the day was like http://imgur.com/hyvhYE3
And some games
Game 1 http://imgur.com/R8sxDIv This game was an utter night mare. Taric top. I got him a lead on garen and he refused to build resistance , jihn did nothing but ult from base. He won lane and after that became dead weight. TF dead weight.
Game 2
Rengar had neglibile damage, the lowest damage in the game, he only pulled off kills by last hitting late game. Basically intentional feeding. Totally unbalanced.
Game 3: Finished a game as cait 
with 
and he refused to get gold gen 
, wouldnt stop auto attacking minions. Never peeled. Absolute piece of junk.
And the enemy team still lost. Their jungle was fed as well.
Im not going to lie. bronze elo and silver can be hell, they are hell. Ive climbed out of silver multiple times before, several months ago. But at that time my mechanics and skills were progressing, I would not see all the mistakes people make. When I look back at some of these people, how stubborn they are, it disgusts me.
A few tips to save you some headache are:
-
Partner up with someone, save yourself the headache and rage when you get a 4 man premade from mexico yelling diego while they all feed (Nasus game). Youll have one less shit team mate
-
Mute all. To be honest theres almost nothing good anyone has to say. Some smurfs will give good commands but most of these people are a bunch of fools who will put you on tilt anyway. They wont listen to you 99% of the time.
-
If youre support, make sure you have some fucking gold generation item, you dont HAVE to complete it
-
Peel for the fucking adc.
-
If youre a jungle main, keep an eye on the team mates health and mana bar to the left or bottom right of your screen, youll know when a fight is taking place. Gank lanes shoved to your team mates tower.
-
Learn when to take objectives. Dragons are great, so is baron, but if youve aced the enemy team for 50 seconds and they dont have a teemo
who mightve shrooomed the place, you guys should take towers and try to end. Give yourself 7 seconds to run. -
Pick the OP champs who can carry to be honest. Youre just simply not going to be able to carry a game as
. -
If youre support and youre a good player consider playing a different role.
-
Counters DO infact work, and they work very very well if you can.
-
If you have been infact countered, try to build some resistances. Do this if youre feeding. 1/6 items with resistance is not going to hurt you ---> If you can get resistance with some health to make yourself more massive.
-
Once you get good enough, dont focus on the late game. Your team is probably such a big group of idiots you need to end as soon as possible.
-
Dont expect anything from your teammates. Assume they all had lobotomies. You can test the water early game.
-
Ping on their face danger, rather than MIA in your own lane.
-
Consider split pushing. Even if your team is balanced, sometimes you just wont win a team fight. If you keep losing team fights, try to kite the enemy team around a little, at mid, waste their time, while someone split pushes, once the enemy team sends 2-3 people to get them, push,
-
Early zzrots are fuckin amazing
-
Kill minions to keep the enemy from getting ur tower, dont attack them (unless you can secure a kill)
-
Have patience. If i had the opportunity to, I would ban 60% of these shitters.
