Hi! I recently made a post on why I'm stuck in 3 and reading all of the comments have been very productive! So i'm curious to as if anybody in the boards community (or league community) would be willing to spectate some norms of mine over discord and possibly help me out and improve my overall game-play. I'm looking for someone thats like around plat level. If you would be glad to help, add me and I'm free whenever!

PS- I'm Silver III right now

Ahoy. Using gameplay boards for its intent? BLASPHMY. But hell i am happy to help on the rare occasion I can.

How often do you tilt? Lower is better. Take breaks if you need between games to avoid loss streaks from anger.

It looks like you have been playing for a few years so your mechanics likely have a decent foundation, that's good. Do you have a decent understanding of every champion, and their power spikes off both EXP and items? This can be really hard to keep track of mentally, Personally im not smart enough to actively do it, so my solution was to play every single champion a few times, any time I see something constantly give me a hard time in a meta, I play them in normals to both learn 1. what makes them good, 2. how other players destroy me. this can be a bit embarrassing and painful experience so you may want to que with friends who just play for fun. Should use bots if you have 0 ideas what their kit does, or practice tool to get a feel. I doubt you have all of them unlocked, that's fine. You should take advantage of free week to learn folks you don't feel you understand well. Improving your understanding of champions helps you always.

Macro mechanics, how good is your map awareness? If you think it needs improvement, jungle is a good class, TF is also a good champion. Both require you to be aware of how the map looks to thrive, Again I aint extra smart so best way for me to learn has always been a slow improvement of in game experience and muscle memory. Smarter folks can probably just watch streams or read a guide and turn that into impact. Wards? you love them!

Develop your playstyle, its a game you should play what you really enjoy, so what is that looking like for a play pattern? Assassin? Tank? support? Massive dps? Or being flexible and knowing multiple? Take what you enjoy, invest time into getting good at that. Impact can be made with any champion and class, The skill required to stand above peers vary but if you get good enough at something your going to win more then you lose. That said, might not be a kit you can use well, or the investment in time might be to high, or you might get burnt out and board before you ever get to a point of mastery.

I want to mention that I say playstyle because its more then just a champ. any 1 champ might not be a good fit, even if they are the best option at the time in a meta for the playstyle you like. Things like timing, aim, hand speed, judgment, all factors. Like if you love the mage thematic and gameplay, but your awfull at narrow skill shots, Xerath might be a worse pick compared to Orianna Ziggs Veigar But if you can nail his EQR he can be the better option.

You can go about champs in 2 ways, you know they are high skill cap and grind grind grind till your good at them, or you find something that meshes well with you. A lot of mechanics are shared between kits and an understanding on 1 will assist with others. Blitzcrank Nautilus Thresh Pyke Q for example.

Have friends who play, its more fun when learning to do it with hommies. honestly some of the best times you can have with LOL are 5 man goof ball matches.

I will not proactively add ya in game but your welcome to shoot me a request if you wish.
