Watch your replays and take note on what you're doing wrong. Then the next match don't try to make the same mistakes again. Also play champions your good at not just because they're op in the current meta doesn't mean you're gonna win games.

You either have it, or you don't.

what exactly do u main? one thing alot of people overlook imo, is lvl 2 cheese. lvl advantage in general as well. if you're down a lvl vs other laner or have a kill deficit or if they have a noticeable cs lead learn how to play safe. give me a general idea of the type of player you are.... which champs are you best with, which lanes do you tend to carry the best as, etc. also what do you think your flaws are? im in plat and i know i get bad cases of tunnelvision still...

If you want to climb elo, you need to learn to stop playing the flavor of the month, and start playing that one champion you connect with regardless of meta. If you play one champion and get so familiar with them that you understand how to deal with counter picks, ganks, etc. You should be able to climb out of bronze. Also my suggestion is to play a champion with a basic kit like Garen, Warwick, Annie so that you don't need to spend as much time mastering their abilities, so you can focus more on the other things like warding, ganking, map awareness, teamfighting, etc.

Hard to say. As someone posted watch your replays. The other thing is your really going to be as good as your team is. A better supporting team will always give you and the team a better chance to win. You can only play your part. It can be hard to tell if your good or simply outplayed because the match matchmaking isn't perfect. Keep trying and it will come around if you want it to.

whatever your primary/secondary roles are, try to have a backup or two for the sake of your teamcomp or with respect to enemy's. i always like to tell people to learn support/jgl/toplane. support is the unspoken carry role and knowing when to roam can put your solo lanes over. toplane is the best place to learn how to trade properly, how to freeze the wave, lane control, and when u should make tp plays. and i'd say jgler because i consider the role a more prominent support role with respect to having presence across the map. oh also... take advantage of free poke on enemy when they are cs'ing. punish them for last hitting or trying to last hit cannon minions especially. this is especially true for support role. i land bubbles with nami everytime on their adc because i know they want those cannon minions.. and they end up paying for it by burning their summons or dying

You're bad because you suck.

CS better. Ward more (buy a pink every back if you're solo/jg/sup) Abuse lvl 2, lvl 6, and lvl 9 if you hit them first. If you don't give up cs. Don't get baited. If you fail to get a kill and they stick around, their Jg is coming. You get ONE TRY. Maybe less relevant in bronze. Autoattack more (as ranged, even mages). Lead your skillshots better Check the minimap after every CS, or when you get a lull. Max every 10 seconds. Count the number of red circles you see, gauge your safety. Don't try to fight if you're behind. You will lose. You'll come close to killing them, but because they killed you earlier they got the extra stats to live. Roam ASAP. If your opponent freezes near tower? Roam. If you get blue buff? Shove and roam. If enemy laner backs inopportunely? Roam. Don't play aggro until you know their jg is committed to another part of the map. RESPECT YOUR OPPONENT. They're people too, they're as smart as you, you ain't clever, you ain't special. They gonna outplay your sorry ass. Know it. Plan for it. Come out ahead.

Idk more shit I can't think or.

Biggest thing is to stay alive, dont feed. Whatever role you play, pick a champ thats not so aggro all in based. Pick a champ with utility, crowd control and escapes. This will help you get a feel for how to stay alive so your lane dosnt negatively impact your teammates lanes. If you can manage to stay alive and farm then just take action when you see opportunities. With that being said dont get cocky either. If enemies are missing dont chase down for a kill and risk dying yourself. Sure its a team based game, however, if you feed the enemy and fall behind, youre not going to have a positive impact on your team. Focus on keeping up with your lane if you cant beat them. Keep wards near key paths in your lane, defend or take objectives over kills. Every champ has the privelage of placing one pink ward at a time. If you keep your pink in well taken path, it will help not only you but everbody on your team. Vision is a huge part of the game. Without vision you are guaranteed a loss. Farm also has a huge impact on the game, if you manage to keep your farm up and not feed then your team will make opportunities for you to capitalize on. Just play passive aggressive and dont push your luck. So long as you dont fall behind in your lane the opportunities will come for you to get kills or save teammates, just make plays in general. Take the game slow and just focus on yourself in the early stages of the game. If you manage to stay even with your lane, that will help your team immensely. If you manage to get ahead, even more so for the team benefiting from that. It all boils down to knowing your limits and what your allies are capable of as well as their abilities. Ofcourse once you get the basic concept of how the game is played then thats when you get into the roles of different champs and lanes. Until you get a handle on how to play your best and what needs to be done in the game to win, dont go balls out. Just play it safe and focus on your cs and staying alive. If you struggle to play a carry role, then do as much as you can to support your team. Wards, shields, landing crowd control spells. If youre playing more of a poke champ then take advantage of your basic attacks. It may not seem like 2,3,4 basic attacks does much but it does. Im sure you have a good general idea of the game after playing for 2 years but take notes of your mistakes and your good plays. You may have a tough time carrying your team but even as an adc so long as you do as much as you possibly can when it comes to wards, pings, staying alive, you will give your team an advantage over the enemy who tends to get caught out, feed, and fails to defend or take objectives. Its defenitely a team game but the last thing you want to do is be absolutely useless for your team. So before you can make plays and start to carry your team, focus on going even or better yet winning your lane. Focus on defending objectives and staying grouped up with your team especially if there is a lack of vision in the jungle. Dont roam alone and risk getting caught. Dont chase. Dont make super risky plays. Just take it easy and find which champs fit your playstyle best. You may not strive when carrying your team with kills, but that shouldnt prevent you from assiting your team in every way possible.

Step One: Know your role. Understand the difference between Tanks, Fighters, Assassins, Marksmen, Mages, and Supports. Find which one fits your playstyle and learn the different champions for the desired role. Also recognize that this will influence other parts of this little guide (i.e. supports not CSing, feel free to respond with questions).

Step Two: Watch your minimap. Think of a League game like a car, the area around your character is the road, and the minimap is the rear view mirror. You'll near always have vision on your character's surroundings, but that won't give you all the information you need to safely make the trip to the enemy nexus. So, you should look at your minimap about once every 3-5 seconds (ESPECIALLY as a jungler). It'll give you information on whether or not it's safe to engage on an enemy laner, invade the enemy jungle, or go in on a 4v5.

Step Three: Learn to CS. If you learn to CS (unlike many people bronze to silver) you can gain a serious gold lead that can even be worth more then accidentally giving up a kill or two. For context, about 15 CS is worth a standard kill (unless assists are gotten, in which case it's nearer to 20). Plus, CSing will help keep you from playing to aggressive just try to get a lead, since you will have one anyways.

Step Four: Learn to play to your team composition. If you are playing jungle and have a Fiora Top, Zed Mid, and Jinx ADC, don't play Rengar. This should come with time (about a year to year and a half of playing for me personally)

Step Five: Here is the most secret tip for playing anytime after laning phase. You will win any game if you and your team do this. Ready? You sure? Don't get caught out. Not being caught out creates less outnumbered fights, which causes less gold leads for the enemy.

I believe that's the multitude of general tips I can give you without any specifics on your playstyle. I hope this helps, sorry if I was over/underestimating your experience/skill. Any more questions, respond and I'll try to help. Until then, see you on the rift! <3 [slayer-jinx-wink]

i'm "bad" because my computer's fps rivals comic books. my wifi is barely wi (has to go through a floor and two walls) ((with a really bad wifi adapter on my computer)). knowing that i cant outflash you ever (even though I have decent reaction time) kinda makes the game impossible as a solo player (dealing with 2/3 premades who note your skill and out number you constantly). but its gg tho right.

MunchCrunchLunch6/27/2016, 6:22:52 AM1 votes

play 1 champion. over. and over. and over and over

it doesn't matter which champion. just play 1 champion in 1 or two roles max. thats it. and you will be out of bronze.

Umio6/27/2016, 6:26:49 AM1 votes

Try playing for CS and Tower

Do not play for kills at all. You kill when you HAVE to.
