Gardaen's Champion Mastery Guide! Get an S! (Sources vary from Bronze to Challenger Players)
Hello everyone! I'm Gardaen, a really noob Bronze 4 player (jk) in patch 6.11 right now! I main Kennen in multiple possitions, but I have several other champs I play also! So without further ado, here's my guide to help get an S! (And no I did not do this by my own knowledge this comes from players ranging through all roles and champ masteries, including a few master and challenger players.)
Whether you're support, adc, mid, jungle, or top, I hope this can help you improve your game in league as a whole, and allow you to become better with champs while at it! This guide is more of a series of tips and quotes from multiple boards and websites, telling people what they can do to improve their post game grades from a B- to an S-, S, or S+! I give credit to all those who help make this possible by having their tips out there and helping all the people improve!
Currently for Patch 6.11, I will try to keep it updated as long as I play league.
Tip 1: Play Support. - This is only for certain champions though. Several people claim by tryingto go off meta allows them to get an S rank much more easily. From my own experience it now has more like a 50% chance.
Tip 2: You realize it's not just about you improving, right? Ranks are determined by the aggregated playerbase of a specific champion. If people play amazingly, you don't get the S. ~DRYDITCH (NA)
Tip 3: Work on CS. - For those of you who don't know what CS is, learn to play league a bit longer before deciding that you want to try and get a level 6 or 7 champion. Creep Score (CS) is how many minions or jg monsters you have killed, and can actually be better than killing champion for some early game specialists. CS for ADC or Top should be about 36 at 5 minutes in, which clocks at about around 8-10 cs a minute. If you compare your CS in a match to those of Diamond tier or higher players you might see where what you consider to be a good CS of 180 in a 40 minute game to be a little less than expected. (Right now you are probably saying get to the point I apologize but it is nesseciary.) Well people in Diamond or higher ussually go with about 100 CS for every ten minutes in the game. So at 20 minutes you should have 200 CS. Now being realistic, we know that you have to deal with pokes and stuff, and supports get less CS. So here is where I put a standard on it for a GENERAL area of points. Mid should be highest along with jg because mid has more waves in game than top or bot. Jg should be higher also because of late split pushing. Those two end up around 350-400 CS for a 40 minute game. Top and should be second because we all know theyre by themselves up there 90% of games. Never seen teamfight up there. (Except Baron Fights) They should end up around 300-350 CS in a 40 minute game. Bot should end up with about 250-300 CS because shit happens and you miss waves sometimes. Unless you are good at avoiding harrasment and still giving it you should be in that range probably. As for Support, the only solid statistic I can give is to say you guys need like 1 CS for every minute in game. For even better stuff try to get about 100 CS by end game. I mean cmon now, the support had to clear a few waves right? Also, if you need help improving CS, here's a link to a very nice guide with 9 steps to make your CS better. https://m.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/204xyb/learn_to_cs_like_a_challenger_with_elyndar_a/ NOTE: This is a mobile adress so if need be take out the m.

Tip 4: Warding and Vision - Recently everyone in low elos who has never played support or bot before thinks all vision is made by the support, who is bot 80% of the game. But warding can actually heavily affect game scores for anyone. Never buy pink wards in game? And if you do, do you place them? Try to keep vision of almost all enemies at all times. Watch youtube videos on it and learn how to keep up with wards and how to make sure you almost always have sight of everything on your side and your opponent's side of the map.
Tip 5: Practice Teamfights and other Teamwork skills. - This is simple. Play aram to underatand different champion roles in teamfight and try to watch Team Fight Breakdowns whenever they appear on the home screen. Also, never flame team mates. If they let the Vayne in bot get one kill and suddenly Vayne is getting kills on everyone, its not the bot lanes fault. You need to be aware of surrounding and make sure you ping for others. And by not flaming you dont end up tilting team mates, which may make the difference in the end of it all. If someone isnt doing very well and feeding because they overextend or engage to much, or are to agro early game, tell them and if it doesnt fix it, then try to make yourself able to take on the fed opponent by getting fed. Dont type in chat if you can, use pings for fast communication.
Well thats all I got for now guys! If you have any tips you would like to add to the guide, put them in the comments below and I'll add one if I see it! Make sure to leave a summoner level or ranked league and tell us your main and primary lane or pick in Draft! Cya! ~Gardaen Patch 6.11 Bronze 4 Kennen Multi-Role Main
