Be watchful Learn Think about your mistakes Ask questions Always focus on what you can improve, focusing on "how bad your team was" will get you nowhere.

MarshbouyOct 30, 20162 votes

Yeah, it's mindblowing i know. "getting better" is a little too broad for some people though.

CerealBoxOfDoomOct 30, 20162 votes

kek... fuckandshine

You can get into bronze just by believing in yourself

You can get out of bronze by doing whatever works for you. Anything at all. Play things you don't like with builds you don't like. Or play things you do like with builds designed for bronze.

I was the same, I spam normal games and dont really care about rank. But this season I had to climb to gold because I got tired of people calling me bronzie. :T

the only one i disagree with is this: Always focus on what you can improve, focusing on "how bad your team was" will get you

If you want to get out of bronze you need to play like your team team is bad. You need to assume they are going to make mistakes and a lot of them so you need to play to A. win the game as fast as possible. B. reduce the amount of deaths your team incurs if possible C. Develop a strategy around that. If you are 2m into the game and someone has already died (happens a lot) then be aware of that lane. If they died 5+ times before you are six then avoid that lane and try to get your team to either all in that fed person or completely avoid him till similarly fed.

As long as you are playing expecting the worse, you are usually prepared for the worse. Are you going to lose some games? yes however you should win more and climbed if you also takes steps to improve yourself.

MarshbouyOct 31, 20161 votes

There is a difference between playing like your team is bad and blaming your team for your loss Take a casual stroll through the gameplay forums. You will see plenty of "sick of these shitty teams" posts.

DracocrashOct 31, 20162 votes

If everyone did that, nobody would be bronze and it is not statistically possible to not have bronze players.

MarshbouyOct 31, 20161 votes

The issue is that the majority of bronze players don't do this and when i say majority, i mean around 95%.

I would say that "prioritizing CS over everything else the first 10 minutes" and "prioritizing an "open inhibitor" and towers over anything else in the next 20" should get you out of bronze.

Order of objectives typically from most important to least

Nexus
Inhibitors
Towers
Baron
Dragon
Teammates - (saving teammates if possible)
Rift
Kills

I don't even know where to put elder dragon actually. I don't think it is that important, it shows up late in the game, takes a lot of time to kill, and a lot of game ending deadly fights occur trying to contest it. It only buff your team fight capabilities for a short duration and the game I feel is largely determined prior a fight there.

That is pretty much the order most games. When people tell me "we can take baron" instead of taking towers I usually respond with "we use baron to take the towers...we can just take them with out baron...." Although I will say that sometimes getting baron off the map does remove the threat of it going to the other team, which is important as well. Sometimes just taking it off the map is really good for stability of the game if you are behind.

I find playing Janna top, Soraka mid and Blitzcrank jg works magnificently.

You forgot:

Upgrade your Internet connection. 200 ping just isn't going to cut it.

MaizieaOct 31, 20162 votes

Naw man, all you need is "git gud", can easily beat bronze with <300 ping. Once you're trying to get out of silver you might want to fix that internet connection :).

GULAG 4 UOct 30, 20161 votes

Alternatively, use your brain.

AcidTheWarlockOct 31, 20161 votes

Or play Kennen and know how to dive right.

And go mid so you can get early kills, snowball and roam bot for a double kill and 1st tower.

MaizieaOct 31, 20161 votes

Ask questions

That only works if you know someone better than you though. If everyone you know is bronze as well then don't do this step lol. When you're looking to learn stuff it's very important who's teaching you, when your teachers are misinformed you will be too, A lot of people in gold and below think they know stuff while in reality they're misinformed most of the time, even though they really think they know their stuff.

If you're going to blindly follow someone's advice make sure they're at least diamond.

WoonStruckOct 31, 20163 votes

If you're going to blindly follow someone's advice

Or don't do this at all. Same reason we shouldn't copy competitive. We don't know why they're doing something, we just know that they are. And then you have the next month filled with people picking some niche champ/item because it was played in competitive one or two times.

Blindly following advice is why sites like MOBAfire are still a thing.

MaizieaOct 31, 20161 votes

Following things you see in pro play is in no way comparable to following someone's advice though. But yes I agree with you, though not everyone is a genius so sometimes following someone's advice blindly is just easier and works out anyway. But if you're watching pro play and actually listen to why they build certain items or play a certain champion you can copy what they do if you know how to play the champ. A lot of the time the casters will explain the things players do, and you can learn from that.

I got better at the game and got a 67% winrate this year through 100 games.

Only went from Bronze 5 to Silver 5. Waste of time.

DanjengNov 1, 20161 votes

But if everybody follows those instructions, there would still be bronze's, because when one team wins, another loses.

It really makes me think. Every Victory just sets 5 other people back.

This can apply to real life too. Say SAT's. If we lived in a world where everybody Studies Learn Think about their mistakes Ask questions in prep class Focus on improvement

There would still be a bottom relative to the top, even if they tried their best. Some people won't get into their chosen college. They say that this is just a game, but it really is preparing you for the rigors of the real world. In short, there's always a loser. That's how society works. No matter what, there will always be someone to pick up the garbage. If you're bad, you suck. This is the solemn truth of League, Bronze, and life.

MarshbouyNov 1, 20161 votes

Does that mean you just shouldn't try? no.

HealthyDelusionsNov 1, 20161 votes

Bronze is better than silver in terms of fun btw. You don't know the things I've seen. The horrors. The ff@20 mentality.

MarshbouyNov 1, 20161 votes

Fellow silver. Oh my god. The "GG FF20" at 10 minutes after a failed gank... AFK lee sins at 5 minutes because they failed a level 3 cheese... Surrendering every time a teamfight is lost...

It's incredibly annoying.
