Alright kids, after getting the umpteenth S+ and getting cucked in the ass because some of you fuckers decided to have fun and go play a ranked just to kill some time, i decided to guide this COMPACT and RELIABLE guide to exit bronze and reach plat in the shortest time possible, and possibly don't fuck with people that are trying to leave your idiot asses behind so they can finally have some fun playing with responsive human beings.

Everyone's ready, let's get started then! :))))

  • After level 7, you unlock, trough itemization or champion kit, what is called "WAVECLEAR" waveclear not only allows you arthritic monkeys to finally get some cs so you can stop crying about ks, but also allows you to -Pressure the map -Kill the turret -Stop fighting a champion you might or might not be losing against -Avoid that said champion goes around the map and fucks everything in his path while you cry like a little bitch about your team dying

The key to win the game is TO KILL THE FUCKING NEXUS, HELLO THIS IS NOT CALL OF DUTY i hope this is clear for you guys, in case it might be a little shady. To achieve this objective you must kill the turrets first: you kill the champions to kill the turret, not the other way around, you kill the champion only because you want to stop him from defending his resources that are things such as

-Their turret -Their farm -Their buffs -Their dragon or other champions

  • IF YOU LOSE YOUR GODDAMN LANE Instead of spamming pings and reaching 800 apm typing in chat about how useless your noob jungler™ is, what do you do? YOU ITEMIZE FOR WAVECLEAR, you push the wave AT LEAST PAST THE RIVER (we'll come back on this topic so keep it in mind) and YOU ROAM, in order to get kills, turrets, and whatever the fuck you might like seeing along the road. You don't sit there crying and getting killed over and over letting the enemy jhin go from 5/2 to 14/3.

  • If you are a Support, YOU BUILD YOUR FUCKING SIGHTSTONE, PERIOD. I don't give a goddamn fuck about whatever kind of liquid shit it's boiling in your rotten brain, you just build it, it's an item so valuable it should cost 4000g instead of 1600g, this way you can use it BOTH offensively AND defensively

-You can make a pick (catching an enemy out of position so no matter the odds he will be an easy kill since even Faker can't do shit if 4-5 people jump on him and he doesn't have the means to defend himself) -YOU PREVENT YOUR TEAMMATES TO DIE FOR NO REASON -You prevent that fool (hi, it's me) that is trying to carry your sorry ass to play scared and defensive cockblocking him any possibility to take an initiative and turn around the tide YOU brought upon yourself -You allow your teammates to make the best decisions so we'll know if and when and where to go and try to make a play -You stop playing the guessing game everytime you walk nearby some place with no vision "UH, will i get oneshotted or can i walk those 400 units safely? Who knows, i wish it was warded... Good thing our 0/11/4 support just built a statikk shiv, i understand that he's trying to carry us... Nice guy!" -And if you're winning YOU PREVENT THE ENEMY TO TAKE A SIGNIFICATIVE INITIATIVE AND TRY TO COME BACK, so you'll put the final nail in the coffin. Choose the right coffin, this is important, it's theirs, not ours.

  • If you see someone splitpushing side lanes and there are 3-4 people grouped in one place, you don't go chase that kill because the guilt of being useless is kicking in and so you want to redeem yourself by killing the felon to show us that you're actually capable to do something and you're not a total burden.

YOU ENGAGE WITH NUMBERS ADVANTAGE

Guess what? Remember how OPP vayne is? is she bot? IT'S BASICALLY LIKE SHE DOESN'T EXIST, until you give her time to come back and penta your asses, of course.

You engaged correctly? Bam, 3 people down, we can go take whatever the fuck we want, we are the bosses of the map until they respawn, we are in charge to do thatever pleases us which brings us to the next step which is

  • What to do when people on the enemy team are down (i mean down dead, not really down down) PS: i wrote a very funny paragraph to do comedy, but considering how much SJW you are i choose to delete it, you know, just to not get in trouble triggering someone's feewings.

When the enemy is removed from the map YOU DON'T RECALL, just because your brain needs some relief after so much thinking to not fullcombo the tank as an assassin or go melee range as an adc.

-You push and take a turret -You go and wipe out all their jungle -You sweep and ward their jungle, so you know their position and what will be your next move

"But zelorxon, i want that huge big ass snake because it makes me feel good knowing that we killed it!" Oh really? do you? No because every game i call baron like 4-5 times and every single fucking time my call goes unanswered, ignored, they come with 10-30 seconds of delay or they simply do the opposite of what i say just to piss me off because they feel jealous i'm the only one who's not a retard on the map... I thought you were disgusted at the thought of having baron, uh, go figure...

  • Baron Baron allows not only to have a massive advantage over the enemy team, EVEN IF YOU'RE BEHIND, but also allows those who are trying to carry to have more freedom of action, and this way you make their job easier.

BUT

In order to do baron, some conditions must be true

-You have number's advantage (aka, someone is bot, dead, afk, his girlfriend phoned him, his mom called him for dinner, he spilled some sugary sticky drink all over his keyboard, is fighting someone else in an epic 1v1 on the other side of the map) -Mid and top MUST be pushed, otherwise you'll get caught like a rat in the corner, and you'll end in a miserable way, not too hard since a mid laner can oneshot a wave pressing 1-2-3 buttons, so do it, don't stare at the wave and force someone that needs that mana to push. -You have wards around the baron, and i might do a warding guide next time if i feel like it, but common places are, behind the baron if you are blue side, over the mid wall, behind the blue brush, the blue brush, the top tribrush, and wherever it makes you feel safe and in control -The area has been cleaned by pinks and red trinket, now we have the busted control ward that even DISABLES enemy wards, so it will make smite wars even easier, if just... -You must be ready to turn: if someone fed comes and tries to stop you you must be able to QUICKLY rearrange frontline and backline so that they don't get an easy penta, also NEVER make damage dealers tank the baron, as it will REDUCE THEIR DAMAGE OUTPUT and make taking the baron or a possible turn slower, more risky and less effective, if you are a tank, don't be a pussy and tank that baron, don't wait for some hero to auto it first because you're a pansy, especially if it's been pingspammed since 4 hours by now, in case the will of do baron wasn't clear. -If you outnumber by at least 3 people, just fucking go and do baron, what are you even waiting for... -If someone calls baron you MUST. BE. QUICK. especially if he pings the respawn timers, if you come to baron when the enemy has 10 seconds to respawn, they will most likely reach and stop you, so when your jungler calls the baron, hurry up.

  • Ayyy, we're almost there, hold tight for a little while, because that's the topic we're gonna talk now

INHIBITORS

I'll tell you straight: super minions>any player below D2, taking an inhibitor means having an additional champions that respawns every 30 seconds and if left unchecked can take towers on its own, and he also gives 50 gold when that noob feeds, pretty cool uh?

INHIBITORS TAKE 5 MINUTES TO RESPAWN

The point of tanking the inhibitor is not "YAAY, we got an inhib, now we can fuck around for 15 more minutes because we feel no pressure so it's fun to see colors on my screen instead of playing yaaay!"

Once you take an inhibitor it's when you have to switch from giving your 100% to giving your 150%, because this means that the wave with super minions will push by itself, and this is your chance to finally get shit done.

-When an inhibitor falls, you have a lane that will push by itself, of course you can still farm it, but in those 5 minutes, you have to take at least another inhibitor, so group up, and go play aram in a lane that has the inhibitor still up, this way you'll force your opponent to make a choice: do i go stop the super minion wave, or i go stop the enemy team? You have a free splitpushing champion, don't cuck him like you're used to do with your average splitpushing-human controlled champion.

-The choices are infinite, just make one. Go push the other lanes as 5 and force fights, slowpush with minions, slowpush with zzrot and banner, force a dive with zzrot and banner, create pressure so your splitpushing champion can take an inhib or a couple of turrets on the other side of the map

DON'T. LET. THOSE. 5. PRECIOUS. MINUTES. WASTED

Now i'm sick and tired of writing, i'm sick and tired of you, my fingers and my hands hurt, oddone is about to stream and it's 0:24 here, so i'm donezo with this shit and i'll call it a day, if i missed something either tell me or i'll check myself some other day, but all the important stuff should be there.

Stop sucking. Peace.

how is this compact? is a wall of text lol XD

Zelorxon6 votes

I'd say reading a page to get plat is a pretty convenient tradeoff.

RogueWill1 votes

The thing is that wont make you to plat unless you are on gold already. You wanna know why? because people don't do what they are supposed to do since they don't know what that is. People on bronze have no concept of minion control. They will clear waves once is pushed but won't try to set up next wave, won't freeze since they don't know the meaning and will look for engages even if lanes are pushed against them, taking high risk for little rewards.

The best two ways to get out of bronze is learn the wave control (which you barely covered on that wall text) or get your ass fed on evrygame to make your opponents ragequit (which requires to being really good on microplay) .

If you want competent teammates then get your ass off your smurf and get off your high horse for stomping players with low game knowledge.

Zelorxon2 votes

Yeah, you're right, i wrote it in brackets, but then i got tired and i forgot about it, there is a guy called solorenektononly that made a playlist of videos on wave control, it's pretty short, i'll link it here for everyone interested even if i usually spam that in every thread i see where this topic might be useful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQz3yU5tzJ0&list=PLzHaU28zdQ4GAMfVf_aASyiB4dheLsONx

-edit- Oh, and believe it or not, i'm not a smurf, i'm just a broke ass university student that never had time to play rankeds and every season played like the last month or week, but this year i'm playing since the beginning once i finally realized how easy is to win and carry, all you need is for your teammates to not troll you, but with this guide i wanted to make more people able to carry on their own, you know, it's like vaccination, teach a man how to fish...

RogueWill1 votes

That is a poor excuse....it takes around 200 games for a true plat player to at least get to gold, it takes 300 for someone that is less gifted. That is around 1 game every other day or 1 game every day respectively. It really doesn't take that much to get to gold. From gold to plat takes an additional 100 games or so simply because games become a tad harder since people starts to learn the basic of wave control. Mechanic wise you see small increments between brackets all the way until diamond (where suddenly bumps exponentially per tier), but that is not a really good way to determine the rank since you can see players with really good mechanics on bronze and players with really bad mechanics on gold, so getting S doesn't automatically mean you don't belong on that division, just that you are better at microplay (on games like deathmatchs or so woudl work but since this game is basically a big capture the base game is not enough)

Funny, educative and I really liked it. If this helps players it will be miracle. It won't for sure but it might help some. And even if it's too long it was fun to read and thus, not really long. Thanks for not only flaming low players but also for actually teaching them how, when and what to do. Even with many insults in a funny way it may be super useful if players will read that. So good job.

Hey, thanks, i don't really know where it might look like bullshit but i guess i'm so ugly inside my ugliness poured out my fingers and soaked into the keyboard, i hope more people will read this so we can finally stop having strokes trying to carry that retard that will eventually complain on how he deserves challenjour on facebook/leddit/boards/wherever.

first, drop the attitude and maybe people will take you seriously.

Second, before writing a guide to reach to a certain rank first actually REACH that said rank otherwise there is no reason why anyone would follow your advice no matter how good it is.

you do this and maybe i will give enough of a damn to actually finish reading this

Sorry that is my way to casualfilter people, you know, that part in a videogame that got you stuck there for months when you were a kid.

What if, instead of dropping the attitude, the only thing i drop is the bass?

you can drop whatever you want, not going to mean jack since you are a Silver scrub telling people how to get to a rank that you have never in your entire life even touched. So yeah, drop the attitude you are no better than anyone you are calling "losers" since you are one yourself

Zelorxon2 votes

I hope that dropping spaghetti all over yourself might help with your guilt complex, whatever makes you sleep better, hope that telling me that i'm bad will make you suck less, i wrote that guide for this after all.

Stephenizgod1 votes

Telling a Bronze player how to play? That is ridiculous, don't you know they are challenger but are just stuck in Bronze because of teammates? Sounds like you are the real noob here.

Seriously though, you could be salty, you could be thorough, you could be very well detailed, you could be overly nice, etc it doesn't matter... they won't listen, they won't do any of this, and even the smallest amount of advice will cause them to troll and flame you. Honestly you tell them to stop chasing the no-ult Malphite through the jungle because you killed 4 of them and their base is 100% free and they will all end up somehow dying to his Thornmail...

Basically, if they were capable of understanding this, they wouldn't be in Bronze. All I say to them is Objectives>Kills, hopefully they understand what that means, if not there was no hope to begin with.

Zelorxon1 votes

You can see it by yourself, just look below and think if human life actually has a value, knowing that people like that breathe my same air makes me feel robbed, and they're "gold" and they maybe think that they're anything near good at league, not that important in life but still, i always thought that the intelligence you put in one aspect of your life reflects how you behave as a whole. They are not bronzies that just installed this game 6 months ago, they played rankeds and they put somewhat an effort. 50% of the human population is below the acceptable standard of intelligence, think how stupid the average person is, half of the world is stupider than that. Be strong.

Stephenizgod1 votes

Hahaha I wouldn't go thaaat far, there is nothing wrong with being Bronze or Silver, it is just their attitude and toxicity about it that is annoying. If you end up Bronze, it is because you are not very skilled. It isn't all that hard to get out of Bronze tbh, so if you can't figure it out than you just don't deserve to get out. Bronzies need to understand that, plain and simple they are bad. That mentality got me out of Bronze in my first season (back in season 3) and I haven't been back since (except during this preseason but i didn't care). Realizing there were things I needed to improve on got me into Gold and if kept at Ranked instead of just stopping once I hit Gold, i probably could have gotten higher than Gold IV (i ended at Gold V though).

Kilanost1 votes

First season playing was last season for me and i damn near made it to gold and i only started playing around patch 6.8. Stuck in B5 forever at like a 30% win rate (because i went right into ranked at 30 like an idiot), accepted I was bad, went about learning as much as i could from the tons of youtube videos outlining the very basic ideas on how not to be trash, and boom climbing naturally happened.

The friends i made in B5/B4 started asking me for advice and i gave them lots of it and even watched some of their replays to see if there was anything glaring going on as to why they weren't climbing. I'd tell them how I improved in those area and told them to go practice. Then I go spectate a few of the games and none of them are doing anything I told them. Not a single one. Those are the people we're dealing with. hoping they improve is just not practical.

Kilanost1 votes

Had the guy i was laning against tilted and calling his team trash saying he was gold and that he was better than everyone playing. After 20 minutes of keeping my mouth shut, i go to allchat and say "If you're such a godlike gold player, why did a silver shit on you in lane. Get beat, scrub."

Point is, you're going to see people talk about what their rank is all the time to justify how good they are. But if they were actually as good as they said, they'd be carrying and not flaming. boosted monkies, all of them.

Zelorxon1 votes

Technically because there is a conjunction between silver-golds-plats and how much you have been carried/won the ranked lottery/how much have you duoed with people, i speak out of experience that some games are actually unwinnable, either because someone is actively trying to lose or because they are simply players that just happened to be there, i saw people play like a dozen of rankeds and then never play again, you can't really reliably win with those, basically the trick to ACTUALLY be good at the game and have trusty teammates which you can duo with, not the "duo" that is just 2 friends playing together, most pro players get instantly placed in plat and then they duo until masters because they know well how unreliable people are. (i had fun making some threads when pro players got placed like in silver at the beginning of the season and were hard stuck there until riot dished out the "fix" or they duo'd heavily and basically stomped games without mercy)

So don't be surprised if you see silvers beat golds, because the difference is really minimum, in soloQ "ignorantly speaking" it's better to be consistent rather than skilled, with my guide i try to change that, and make rankeds a truly competitive environment where people can play skill vs skill, and not try their luck and then complaining to unrelated causes.

The reasons why that guy flamed you are infinite, just don't care about what people say, because at the end of the day, it's not that much useful anyway.

Also punish tilted players as much as you can, as you will basically shut them out of the game and it will be much easier for you to win.

Kilanost1 votes

I 100% agree some games are unwinnable. Usually due to a fed jhin/vayne/darius/fiora/illaoi/yorick come to think of it. However I'd say that is at most 10% of games in bronze and silver. you just have to keep winning 51% of your games to climb. That guy in particular was actually the heavy one on his team so the fact that he was flaming his team on all chat boiled my blood.

And yes, i wholeheartedly agree on the conservative route of playing being a very reliable way to climb. Even if you think you can outplay someone in a close fight, don't. stay alive, take the guaranteed farm and experience, and keep pressure on the map. Just managing not to die will put you so far ahead of people, its ridiculous even if you're not picking up kills.

Zelorxon1 votes

I mean, what you said it's right, you'll eventually improve your mechanics at the point where you can go for the outplay or risky moves, what i was trying to say is that is better to just be good and spam a bunch of games rather than thinking you will reach your grade with the correct number of games, because most of them will just be a waste of time. By the way of course, keeping high ranks and a positive winrate it's what will make you climb and climb as fast as much as it's possible.

Chatillon1 votes

I've gotten to the point when I play mid, I could roam, I could go help the 2v2 in the jungle, or I could take the inner turret. I always push waves and get waves going before I participate as well. Sure there are exceptions, but this has already helped so much.

Imagine, pushing op.

Rito plz nurf

Zelorxon1 votes

Once you'll have like 3 levels of advantage you can basically end the game on your own, just killing the turrets should be enough if you're monstrously fed/farmed up, just take it slow and kill one inhib at the time and let the minions to the heavy work, when you kill an inhib you basically summon an additional champion, so even if you have retards at least you will have a reliable teammate.

Chatillon1 votes

yeah, I haven't gotten that fed in a long time, but I'm starting to choose pushing mid and damaging turret over roaming unless someone shows and I know the roam is free or bot is low and overextended.

Zelorxon1 votes

Have you ever watched Dyrus or Pobelter stream? I feel like you need to see some high elo play to understand rotations, so you'll learn when do the most optimal choice, by the way of course you think of yourself first, taking a turret is never wrong whatsoever, think about damaging a turret like 1/3 of turret health is worth a kill.

Chatillon1 votes

Yeah, I have watched a lot of lcs and have a decent understanding of rotation, thats how i managed to get to gold this year.

Elrond Peredhel1 votes

God bless, my dream this season is to reach diamond and I'm definitely adding your words to my doctrine. I only have one observation, what personally bothers me is that what happens in low elo a lot of the time is that the team can't agree on one thing. (do we baron? do we dragon? do we inhib?) I just have no idea what to do when 3 people are saying 3 different things and it really triggers me, do you have any kind of advice for this issue? [zombie-brand-mindblown]
