Bronze/silver definitely feels like a whole new game

Gunslinger7x·Jul 27, 2016·6 votes·667 views

Made a smurf and tanked the promos so i could get placed in bronze v cause I wanted to try and climb from the bottom. Mind you The highest ive ever gone on my main is about plat 2 or 3 so im pretty garbage at the game too but this lower elo of the game is like a completely new game. What I normally do in plat DOES NOT work here and it took me about 10 games in to realise I had to change it up.

Problems in low elo

PPL will literally afk the second they die once in lane or go on a huge rant all game spamming ''gg its over'' which tilts his own team.

2)There is no point in getting your teammates ahead they do not know how to push with a gold lead they WILL throw at some point.

DO NOT PLAY SUPPORT. It doesnt matter how much you crush your lane and feed your ad he WILL misposition/go melee mode/try to 1v5 cause lolimfed

4)At some point it randomly becomes an aram mid back and forth for some reason... always be there even if there is no point cause your team WILL fight them 4v5 and lose.

5)DO NOT PLAY SPLIT PUSHER. I made this mistake so many times. PPL in low elo LOVE TO FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. If you go off solo pushing your team WILL fight them 4v5 and most likely get wiped out and you will probably lose the game off that.

6)Drags and baron are very low priority

7)Did i mention they love to fight? I swear these guys are like rabid dogs. It doesnt matter how behind they are they will still legit try to fight the fed enemy players. Its not uncommon to see someone 0-10 by the 10 min mark in lane phase...

I was never really a hard carry type of player but I had to find myself doing this in order to win. Im mostly spamming mid now and if I dont find myself with a few solo kills in the early stages of the game then no one in the game will listen to me and either top or bot will lose and begin tilting the whole team. Yes 1 lane is usually a guaranteed loss and the feeding wont stop because they will proceed to keep fighting..

thanks for purposely losing 10 games and ruining many peoples days, then proceeding to make it more difficult for 30% of league to climb the ladder due to having to face a high platinum player "discovering himself" in bronze. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

i dont think you actually have to lose the games. you should be able to just repeatedly dodge champ select and the dodges will count towards losses for your promos.

im sure his plan was to accrue 10 30 minute low priority queue's...because everybody loves those

He hasnt uncovered any big low elo secret, so it isnt exactly "doing this for our benefit" theres at least 10-20 videos on you tube with this exact information and how to "get out of bronze" and "10 mistakes low elo players make"

so other than ego, or because he cant win in platinum....theres no reason for this shit.

yo, im not saying anything about if its ok or not. im just explaining that you probably dont have to purposely lose 10 actual games to get placed there.

dodging 10 games in a row is the least likely scenario imaginable [slayer-jinx-unamused]

how is it not likely? you dodge a game, 5 minutes later you dodge another one, then 8 minutes later, then 15 minutes later ... like 5 or 6 games.

all in the background while youre doing somethng like playing a different game. next day when the timer reset you log back in and dodge the rest of the games.

how is that less likely than actually spending time in que, champion select and the game itself 10 games in a row while trying to make it look like youre not throwing but still trying to lose?

between two methods in which one is significantly faster and less risky than the other, why would anyone put the efford into throwing 10 games?

This reads like one of those articles where the rich celebrity eats on food stamps for a week and then pretends like they know the struggles of less fortunate people.

Totally, I do this in smurf at this elo so I stay silver ( I tried going down to bronze but I cant the moment I start trolling and feeding enemy team rages and they ff it happened like a good 5 times fuck my life)
I dont agree, caus you get your teamates ahead but knowing youre smurfing, act like theyre behind
I carried alot of games going ''support'' morgana, khazix, rengar hahaha just drop the DPS as a ''support'' and kill 2-3 enemies as a ''support'' in this elo, the people think the ''support'' is the guy who gets the sightstone (I even ahd some1 asking me why I went support once because I bought sightstone on sejuani jungle lol)
Cant argue against that
Cant argue against that, all youre gonna do is delay the lsot because you have facedfuckers in your team
Dragon maybe, but baron is top priority (althought vision control around it isnt -_-)
The purpose of smurfing IS to fight like an idiot and not care about win/lose....

Yes. Welcome to Hell. Now try climbing out of it. AS A SUPPORT MAIN.

1: All the fucking time. Everyone autotilts themselves and then active AFKs in the fountain while trying to get themselves permabanned with the foulest language possible.

2: Again, all the time. If we got a double kill in bot lane and I know where the other enemies are, I will throw heaps of rage at the turret. I look for any and all opportunities to scream at a turret until it dies. I've destroyed more turrets as a support in the past year than most players will their entire time playing League.

3: I'm a support main. It's been hell.

4: I try to tell people to NOT teamfight if we end up having a team that sucks at it and an enemy that excels at it. No lie, one time I saw an enemy team composed of Malphite, Morgana, Amumu, Brand and whoever the ADC was. I told the team to NOT group up for ANY reason. We won that game since we didn't group up, and the enemy couldn't get off their combo (which they were very clearly planning to rely on), so they couldn't kill us and push any lanes.

5: I split pushed last night. After losing my lane 1/6. I won us the game by destroying TWO FULL LANES PLUS THEIR INHIBITORS without contest. Fucking amazing how no one thinks about defending down here until AFTER the inhibitors are destroyed.

6: Again, yes. People always go for teamfights and pentakills first.

7: Again, 100% right. Even when we have no business teamfighting, people will still try to teamfight. Then people rage at me for still being in Silver III when I'm clearly demonstrating a more intelligent tactic than the brainless assault this sewer division endorses.

Now try climbing as a support main.

I laughed at this post as I read it because it's entirely true.

Did i mention they love to fight? I swear these guys are like rabid dogs. It doesn't matter how behind they are they will still legit try to fight the fed enemy players. Its not uncommon to see someone 0-10 by the 10 min mark in lane phase...

Ahahahahah

I sware if you can't climb out of that on your smurf, I would laugh sooo hard.

Support Annie surely works well though. Still downvoted because bronze and silver is already worse enough to play in as it is without people like you in it ruining the chances for enemy teams and making players lose that didn't deserve to lose but hey, you messed that up.
