Just Reach: Streams WATCH AS MANY AS POSSIBLE. Watch people who are good, obviously and explain what their doing, not silent (aka dyrus) watch people like Trick, Bjerg, or NightBlu3. Even doublelift and aphromoo talk alot DO NOT RAGE EVER LITERALLY IN THE WORDS OF SKY SUCK DICK TO DIAMOND If someone messes up. tell them it's going to be ok. yelling at someone only makes them do worse be nice, and if they are bad, they won't play as worse if you would of yelled at them, that or they will do better because you have faith in them so they feel inclined to do good for YOU Never trust your teammates. IF you have a duo maybe. heres your team in order like a ranked game 1.Idiot who bans things that don't need to be banned 2. Dude who doesn't call a lane and instalocks something he isn't good at, but hey, he's second pick, so what the hell. oh and he loses lane 3. your duo, possibly good, possibly not, in low elo tho, a duo is a MUST if you want to carry. find someone you trust and you can carry one another out of elo hell (Bronze-Silver) even though gold 4. You, you, the nice guy, the guy who decides to take support because the bottom pick wants adc and has been begging for it the entire time you've been in the lobby. so, you give it to him. 5. the winey ***** that JUST IS A SMURF AND WILL CARRY YOU. here's a good rule. i trust people sometimes, i regret it 70% percent of the time. The adc feeds, and you lose lane, and he blames it all on you, his support. if you can get a carry role, and you know you're better, try and get it. that or have a duo that's good, so one of you can always carry Alright random tips- If someone is raging, mute them. Makes you play a lot better individually when your chat isn't being spammed by some ******* It is not always the jungles fault. Try being nice while everyone is being mean for "something the jungle did" and maybe you'll get an extra gank or two In the end, this game is a TEAM GAME. We have ALL played the blame game, myself included. Example. I lost a ranked game once upon a time as talon, my main, and i went 20-5. i raged, hard, i mean who wouldn't? i was 20-5 and we still didn't win. Instead of raging, i should of looked at what I could of done better in order to win that particular game. Doing such makes you a better person, player, and teammate. Ranks mean nothing in low elo. If someone is silver 2 and your Silver 5, but you have better stats, take his position if you have the stats on him, he's going to rage and be mad, but that's what a mute button is for :P Low elo is this. it isn't by tier, it goes by... bundles is a good word. B5-B3 is the same elo. Same players, same idiots, same everything. B3-B2 is the same elo.. Then we get to the big boys XD S5-S3 is the same elo. S2-G4 is the same elo. and by elo i mean skill level, roughly. not elo as in "score in soloq" Plat5 my "elo" is G2-P4 There are tiers but skill levels are a different breed. Practice in custom games. Farm. Try to get 100 cs by 10min. perfect cs. is 100 (obv). i have done this a lot actually. best you ask? 96 XD. Also you can only stick with doran's when you do it Play on low level ranked teams. It's fun, you learn a lot, and if you win it feels good it as in game lol sorry its late :P Listen to music. it's a given, right? it helps you focus, releases neurotoxins in your brain that help you concentrate! School OP Eat before you play. It WILL improve your play. having a full stomach is essential to doing almost anything. Even playing a video game LOL that was a sort of a pun XD Get a decent amount of sleep? it goes back to that concentration thing, but not too much 8-9 is around the best or you oversleep and you can't play well anyway, even 7 is ok! If you're doing ranked, be in a good mood before you start, it improves your play IMMENSELY. If you're angry do not troll or afk. If someone is doing well on your team, there is a chance, but also know when its over. you can't win 99% of the time if 3 inhibs are down and they got baron, or if your down 21-2 at 20min. You wouldn't like someone to troll or afk, right? Don't be that guy you don't like. If you start to lose in ranked, as a losing streak, do not go past 5. ever. if you lose 5 ina row. your done for the day. Something wasn't right, you were not on today or your teams are worse than usual get off, don't play, stay off, watch some tv, take a run, or lay outside. go back on if you want, but i usually stay off, better luck tomorrow right? never neglect hanging out with friends for this game. This game is the ****, i mean THE ****, but friends are not always available. if you skip out on them for league, you have some odd priorities. that one might not make you better, but it's a life lesson XD on a side note. if you quickly want to "play another ranked game" before you hang out, don't do it. I have done this. you rush it, because you have plans and you LOSE. its a free game for the other team unless your ass gets carried, because your 0-4 as the adc and you just want the game to end one way or another And, for the end, HOLY **** YOU READ A LOT. HAHA SORRY ABOUT THAT, People who are leagues above you, can tell you things that can HELP YOU don' [slayer-jinx-unamused] t blow them off just because of your pride. if a diamond randomly told me how to play, or gave me some tips, i would take all of them and find a way to put them into my play. That guy whose Bronze 1 probably isn't much better than you, but if a Gold or Plat+ says something to you, and it seems helpful, it probably is. Thanks for Reading Friend! I started this game in Bronze 5, Starting this Season at Silver 4, And now I am Plat 5. Fyi that also wasn't quick. LOL I forgot to add,probably at the beginning. Practice champions. Don't go into ranked and say, "oh hey top? well.. jax i banned soo.. who looks good.. trundle!" instant 0-5. Try to have at least 2 champions per role that you can normally win lane with apart from your 1 or 2 main champions. It will help you so much you don't even know. And by practicing with them, i mean solo q norms spam them for about a week as much as possible, it will help you get where you want to be. Trust me it works
