Ok guys so heres how it is, i've been playing league for a while, and like alot of new players when they first hit level 30 they jump straight into ranked. And i wasn't aware of how grueling it would be to get out of the division with the bad skills i had at the time. & Unlike most bronze players, i most probably do belong in B5, (I Can easily get to B4 but i lose WAY to much LP per game to stay there.)

I'm not by any means claiming to be much superior to the rest of the league, im not deluded in myself to think that. Now top lane is by far my most favourite lane to play, because less chance to get ganked, and im very passive until i know ive farmed well or the jungler is elsewhere. Teemo i can absolutely Wreck my lane and push it so hard, but who cant with a teemo? I Think me chosing teemo is possibly one of my downfalls, due to the fact of his almost non existent team fighting abilities. However i am going to defend myself a little because as alot of you may or may not know, if there is 1 champ on the map, bronze players like to chase that 1 Player, with no vision what so ever. So you have 4 of your players chasing 1 enemy cause they think its team deathmatch. And before you know it, you've lost inhibitor turret or more.

Now heres what i do in a match and id love feedback to give me Positive or negative tips that could help me Arise from where i am now, so here goes.

I Rarely Play tanky champions (unless its garen, Darius)

This is 100% one of my downfalls, I dont buy wards, just use my trinket. (Usually because i forget)

I tend to try help out lanes which are crying for help if a jungler isnt helping, which then leaves me & my lane in a bad spot.

My buff and dragon timings (Although are viewable through the tab menu) Are usually very very good, but no one wants to go for them? (Should i try solo? & Risk dying?)

I'm very very objective based, If there an enemy left for our team to get An ACE? or do i push turrets, no i leave them and go for the turrets, but the rest of the team usually chase. (Should i follow them and chase the ACE or am i right in trying to push?)

I'm split pushing top because 3 enemies are visable but 2 aren't, ive taken the turret (I usually then go B to be safe of being killed) Or should i just push n push and try get another, would that make it worth?

My Cs'ing and last hitting isn't the best, and in the last 2 weeks ive had a bad wrist, Should i of not played ranked because of this fact i could of caused my team the chance of a victory?

I usually pick comfort champs over "OP" ones, am i going wrong here, should i be a noob and just pick master yi and get triples and quads with him just to ensure victory, or do i stick to what i know and try winning that way?

If i dont get my lane and end up support, because im not in my comfort zone i buy quite alot of wards if im abit scared of the enemy jungler. Or should i just build as required and buy fewer wards?

Another downfall of mine is i do tend to have the 'Its over' attitude before it actually is. This is something i do need to change within myself and not think cuz we are 0-5 in kills that the games lost.

I Like to take Flash Ignite for early kill pressure, or as a top laner would Teleport be more viable, if i play maybe, Fiora, Riven?

This is just a few things i do in most of my games, id like any of you guys that are high elo players and actually understand what ive wrote down to please try either answer some of my questions, or just generally give me some tips of what im doing right/wrong and/or how to improve in myself to rise higher than bronze. Ive played on my friends Silver V account at his house, and i will be honest, i won alot more frequently because the rest of the players seemed to be on the same page as myself. I have quite a big champ pool, 90+ i think...... but im just beginning to really get frustrated and lose interest in the game. Someone please give me the spark and inspiration again to play and enjoy it!! My Summoner is Snoopy316, If you'd take the time to see my recent match history (Not the last 2 weeks because of my wrist, i stated that above) but before that, and give me a few lines of PROS or CONS, id be so greatful!!

If you've got this far and read it, my hat is off to you, and i await your responses. Thanks all!! Cya on the rift!

didn't read the wall of text but i take it from the title you want someone to assess your match history and give you advice?

link me to a replay of yours and i'll get around to it within 10 hours or so

Hi i thank you for replying, but don't i have to download a replay client to do that? Can you not just answer my questions and tell me if they are the right choices to make in that situation.

Also, if any of you do have a bronze account but are higher level on your main, would you duo with me and then maybe help? Thanks.

i can't provide yes or no answers to any of your questions, and a detailed answer would get very long to make up for the missing context of what is happening on the map whenever you make any of these decisions

i'd rather see what you're actually doing in game and provide a critique of your playstyle

use this website http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Snoopy316

open your current game info next time you go into a ranked match, and click the record button

a replay icon will appear under games that recorded successfully and anyone can spectate those replays

and i'm not going to risk a permaban by hopping onto some smurf to coach you in ranked ._.

If you play a tank champion such as Garen, usually building full tank is required. If your team needs a little bit more damage that black cleaver may come in handy, just make sure you don't build glass cannon. Riven and Fiora seem to be working for you, however i noticed that you have a low creep score. The difference between Bronze and silver is basic mechanics, farming is where you will be getting all of your gold. Try to keep a good orb walk going, and attempt at learning how to play adc and play it well. If you do not know how to play a role or refuse to do so, you should not be in ranked at all.

Champions with a high skill cap such as Azir you may want to refrain from using in ranked until you know you are good enough to use, counters and no goes are something not too much of a threat in that low of an elo. However, this does not mean that champion is bad because Azir has most likely the highest DPS in the entire game.

Last thing, WARD. A ward costs 2-3 creeps and can save you around 300 gold per death or spotting of an enemy. When i play top lane and i know the jungler is paying special attention to me, i buy a sightstone. Usually if i am playing immobile champs such as Heimer and Nautilus. Buy a pink ward if you have a top laner who refuses to ward and clear your wards as well. Also when you are a head, CONTINUE to play the game, and not play call of duty kill based style. Your lead means nothing at the late game, it is only numbers and nothing else. Also, tanks fall off late game because of itemization, keep that in mind while playing a tank and while you are ahead.

Happy to spec a few of your games and record my thoughts on what you can do to improve. Have done this for a few players and they find it helpful. Way easier to see what's going on by watching a game versus looking at match history.

Add me in game if that sounds appealing!

  1. Don't worry about wards. If I don't need em, you don't need em.
  2. Always queue ranked unless playing with 2+ friends
  3. Learn to trade.
  4. Lock screen on (focus only on yourself)
  5. Teleport is absolutely a better pick on any top laner. Ignite is a shit summoner spell (even though i use it) With TP you literally lose every trade and then say lol TP back 2 lane huehue skillz and come back a higher level than your lane opponent. EVEN IF YOU DIED.
  6. I can tell when a game is over, I just don't say anything in chat.
  7. Support is definitely the easiest way to climb. You don't really do anything except sit there and get carried (incoming downvotes even though I main support).

Follow this guide and you'll get gold guaranteed.

Thanks for all the comments guys, ill try get the replay thing to work so people can look at my movements in game. As for the locked cam, i do use it, id like to use unlocked but no matter how i try i can't seem to get used to it even in a custom game!

Also i duo almost every game with a friend of mine, and he is just always focuses on going in, and it usually ends up bad, ive noticed if i solo i win alot more and get better games. However he is a friend of mine and im loyal to my friends, but if this is one of the things that is going against me, then ill have to focus on being solo for a while i guess.

As for the teleport the only reason i dont use it is because if i TP for a kill and end up drawing a blank i have to walk all the way back to lane and maybe lose 2 towers. I guess it all comes with map awareness on my part.

And with fiora i only really use her to go for kills and try snowball early... which works more often than not. But Riven on the other hand i love playing her, along with irelia, but unfortunately in Bronze if im last pick it usually means support.. and if the ADC is bad (& me too) then i don't have chance of the impact id like to have.

I've also had great success with Quinn in the top lane, with kills that is.... but when it comes to closing the game alot of players won't push for some reason and if i get caught and die, then it's simply bad for the team, so i have no option but to stick with them and try fight it out then push? Also it says my win ratio is about 48% i think, how is it in B4 i lose -23LP per loss but only gain from 8-10 LP. That's whats stopping me getting out of bronze 4. (When i get there.)

Anyways im going to play some games tonight (Im in the UK btw transferred to NA from EUW for a change.) I'll try get the replay thing to work.
