I have played league for a long time. However, I have learned over the years to take the blame, be chill, and cooperate. However even though i play so much LoL, I cant seem to get out of b4. Im scratching my head trying to figure out why.

I think its partly because maybe im not good... but I have played for 2 years straight, so I dont see how thats possible. My runes are decent, Never put much time into them though. I watch pro games, look up details about each champion and even try to learn all the positions. ( I can do most ok but support, I find that role to be much different from other roles so much that im terrible at it). I want the communitys opinion now, what should i do better?

Edit: I quit for about 4 months, so I dont have many champions leveled up yet

1- You play too many champs. 2- Your item builds aren't awful, but they're not optimal. 3- You never upgrade your trinket or buy sweepers 4- Your cs numbers are HORRIBLE. You often have around 60 cs at 30 minutes on solo laners. 5- You die too much.

I will never understand how people can have shit CS and then ask why they're not climbing. Like, it's the easiest and most obvious thing to fix.

im in the same boat but with silver and heres my opinion (dont mind the length)

first off runes AND masteries matter A LOT! even small percentages add up at the end game winning fights and turning games. SECONDLY ....dont take it harsh but it may be if your doing bronze things for 2 yrs u should begin to think what am i doing thats incorrect and what can i do differently to put myself into a better chance to win or help carry. getting that great kill from a well executed skill shot then 2 seconds later recalling in the bush when u just spotted the jungler botside and all lanes accounted for.... ( im hinting at not shoving turrets and not focusing objectives) THIRDLY i spent a solid year in bronze and watched my friends climb as a i got more and more frustated but winning a few of my games playing my favorite champion. ALL champions DO have a role in the game.. but quite frankly its like this.... if u think ur good enough to get out.... then go do it. PERIOD. if you think your a gold top laner then go trash and slam those bronze tops but u may ask yourself how.... if your laner that you loooove ( Teemo ) doesnt reallllly start to carry some fights at a very high lvl with 5-6 items...take a different approach. basically im telling you this... play champions that carry easily... for example top lane fiora pantheon jax ppl that can just go in and beat the crap outta their laner and then go nuke the other teams adc and just win the teamfights and push and win...

take this into consideration.... for A LONG TIME teemo was my go to champion...had over 500 games played as him learned his max damage build tweaked his runes etc... i won lane almost 85% of the time minus some jayce panth and ap top laners however....if its truely THAT strong how come pros arent playing this....

im not telling you to go do what the pros are doing....ur games cant do that the communication just isnt there. however theres a reason why teemo's only been played once in the NA LCS in the past 2-3 years..... its just not viable to win....

recap:

1st fix all runes and masteries and FIND OUT WHY those are the best way. dont just copy the pros pages...why r they doing that. 2nd watch some youtube vids on what higher elo players are doing that lower elos arent ( more quickcasts more items being used by 1 keys not clicking on it) 3rd play laners or champions that carry EASIER ( kayle jungle kalista adc annie mid)

thanks for reading my opinion and feel free to add ask some questions Teemo

Ok, here's the biggest problem. Your CS is abysmal. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, it's that bad. I don't know what else is a problem, because im only looking at your op.gg, but bad CS is a huge problem. I would say play normal games more, and just tunnel on CS. Forget your lane opponent (unless they're an easy kill) and try to get 230 CS by 25 minutes. It seems like a tough goal, and even in diamond it's not always possible, but in bronze where your opponents aren't very skilled, you should always have around this much unless you get massively fed and are roaming constantly (15 kills by 20 minutes).

I would say, find the champs that you REALLY like, and then master them. The best champs are ones with more simple mechanics, but that can work in a multitude of roles (IE: Kayle - mid/jg/top or Naut: jg/supp/top).

Read guides, not just one and follow it blindly... read all the guides, and figure out what works best for you and your play style. Watch videos of the champs you like, find streamers and watch their habits. Practice last hitting, and use masteries/runes that will help you in your laning phase and provide you with the easiest farm.

My main is Singed, I did this with learning him, and after a month or two, I can pretty much carry most of my games. I too am having trouble climbing, but these days the only games I seem to lose are my promo matches.

People have mentioned cs as a problem for you so i recommend maining ad champions or ap with a auto boost like cho or i think ori has one to... lulu has one but it's delayed and actually makes last hitting a bitch

One second, checking your profile.

Edit: If it makes you feel any better, besides the Time Dead% rune, it isn't anything obvious like bad runes. Your item paths are fine, your summoners are too, it might just be you aren't that good. I don't mean this in a mean way in the slightest, but you just might not have the skill to increase, either for not playing enough or for whatever reason. If you don't mind, could I add you and watch one of your games to see your performance?

Find ONE champion who fits your playstyle and who has hard carry potential MasterYi Tryndamere Jax Fizz Vayne XinZhao Pantheon and ride that mofo straight to silver. But yeah like everyone else said, work on your CS and everything else should fall into line.
