Bronze Trades
Note-my writing sucks and I go off topic
After recently playing my 1000th bronze S5 ranked game, I would like to comment to those who think that THEY are never the problem.
The Problem: OK, so for those of you in bronze who think it is all your team mates fault, that may sometimes be true, but more often then not, you are just as bad. Bronze Individual fights basically go like this- 1.P1 Approaches P2 2. P1 mismanages an ability against P2 3. P1 misses, P2 kills P1
or 1.P1 Approaches P2 2. P1 lands an ability on P2 3. P1 goes all in, P1 kills P2
Note that these are very general, and that often one will just flash away, but If an average bronze player commits, they normally calculate to late to escape should they realize they are going to lose.
Bronze players are pretty horrid at kiting, CSing, warding, or taking any roundabout way to beat the opponent. (not even mentioning macro management like rotations.) Over 70 percent of the time, the way fights work is someone will engage on the lowest HP person on the other team, disregarding whether or not it is an Alistar with his Ultimate up. They may get the kill, then die, and then their team is screwed because Alistar just peeled 3 ults and 2 summoner spells, and the other team aces them. The person who got the kill is usually the ones that is then toxic to others, calling them out for sucking and feeding.
Most likely, in lanes at least 1 person will get fed beyond belief, and 4/5 times, that persons team will win because they are so hard to shut down when their Alistar peels for them and they decimate your entire team over and over until they can just 1v5. Bronze players cant farm well, so obviously their is no way to catch up and they end up just getting snowballed unless they hold out till 60 minutes.
The Solution: All you have to do to win a trade in bronze is dodge an kite a bit. Stop thinking that you are any better than your teammates because you have fed in games too. If someone on your team is feeding, you should offer advice rather than rage at them. Some of the best things that you can buy in bronze are
and
. This is because after someone stupid on the other team engages, you can lock them down and they die everytime because they cant escape. They wont know what is going on because the people there dont look at the enemies build. I have gone full AP jax many times and carried because the enemy stacks armor.
