  1. play safe ,
  2. focus on cs ,
  3. don't play aggresive ,
  4. set ganks for your jungler ,
  5. if you have feeders on your team accept that you are going to lose , don't tilt
  6. Better abuse some broken picks until you go gold , then play your favorite champs
  7. if you are fed 3-0 etc early game , roam (carefully )
  8. help your jungler
  9. take 1 raptor from enemy jg (that will slow back some junglers like gragas-elise-graves etc..)
  10. if you play a champion that can go tank like pantheon , better do it , if the enemy team is good . (3 ad items 1 boot 2 tank items with hp)
  11. dont tower dive . unless the opponent has 50 hp , you are full hp and you have flash. the most important WARD EVERYWHERE. everytime you go back to base, get 1 ward . (75g) and place it on key points a jungler could gank.

Best advice i can give you if its your first ranked season: dont think about your ranking. concentrate on becoming a better player and nothing else. your rank is meaningless, the other players are meaningless, even if you win or lose is meaningless. only think about what YOU couldve done better every game. if you die, dont search for excuses or other peoples fault but think about how you couldve avoided dying there.

i dont think you should try to carry every game and try to make few mistakes and learn from the ones you make instead. but still you should try out your limits. try an aggressive play when you feel that you can go for it, dont hesitate. if you die, you learn what not to do the next time, if you pull the play off successful, you learned what to do next time again. same goes if youre fed: test out how far you can go, by knowing the limits of your champ when youre fed you learn how to carry.

and always remember: you learn more about the game when you lose compared to when your team just steamrolls the enemies.

every other game, practice farming in a custom game with bots. focus on last hits, positioning, and stutter stepping your auto.

during games, look for a good time to group, but also be wary of overstaying.

try not to waste time. if you are standing around doing nothing, it is usually a problem. deaths are bad, but sometimes acceptable losses for a trade of some kind. if you are sieging and it isn't going well, try to encourage your teammates to leave the lane to pressure something else, or potentially even reset to base for gold and hp/mana.

don't be negative. type /mute all if the chat is tilting you, or if you're tempted to be negative in chat.

I played Support to get out of bronze tbh - saving my teamates and setting up picks ended up being very powerful. I did it with janna tho, and she's been nerfed since then, so the best option is thresh right now -but if you go thresh, expect to need a lot of games before you have the experience with his skills to actually start winning more than losing.

I climbed out a while back... here's my two cents.

CS. Most important thing EVER. Focus on improving your CS. More CS = more money and more money = a better chance to win. Make missing as few minions as possible your goal every game. If you can go from 120 CS in a 20 minute game on average to 160 or so, you have earned yourself roughly 3-4 kills worth of extra gold with very little risk.

Objectives. Stop chasing kills. If someone flees at low health, great. Get a tower. Get dragon. Get Rift Herald. Steal their red buff. Anything. You don't win the game by getting kills. You win the game by taking their base, and getting kills helps with that.

Stop sheeping Pros/Streamers. It's freakin' bronze man. Play someone you know really well and know how to use. You are not a pro player, and you will not be able to play like one... but neither are your enemies. They WILL lose to freaking Urgot if you are good with him and they're trying to play champs that they don't know well because someone on C9 did recently or something. Go for your favorite and most comfortable picks. Always. Don't try champs you never use because they "counter" the enemy . Nothing. Comfort picks. Always.

Relax. It's a game, and you'll do better if you're having fun. A relaxed attitude about losing games makes it less likely you tilt, while being on edge means that the instant a teammates does something stupid you're way more likely to rage, tilt or just lose your shit. If you're meant for silver, you'll get there. It just might take a while... because...

It's all about luck. Low elo, at least. Sure, if you're godly good you can stomp every game... but if you're a normal low elo pleb you might be better than bronzies slightly, but that doesn't mean it's easy to carry bronze games. You can't put your team on your back every game. You can't even do well every game. Some games you'll run into players better than you and just get rekt. You need to be ready for it to be a hard climb and take that with grace... rather than getting depressed or angry when games go poorly. You MIGHT get lucky quickly... but more likely, it's going to be a rough climb full of feeders, throws, smurfs, afk's and one-sided stomps all around. Keep at it, man. You'll get there.

Although just to warn you.... silver sucks just as hard and merits no more respect than bronze to most folks.

EDIT: Saw you said you play JG, so i changed this a bit

If you know how to play several champions, then what I would do is focus on getting your team ahead. If a lane is losing, don't get mad at them. If their down by 1 or 2 deaths then gank them and try and get them positive. If other lanes are winning they don't really need you, so help other people. However, if the enemy is 10/0, then focus on a different lane. Don't just bail on a lane because they give up first blood, but know when you're better off somewhere else. Mainly focus on clearing your camps, ganking lanes and PLAYING OBJECTIVES. Also know when it's a good time to counter JG, when to push lane, and who to focus in team fights.

If you're an OTP, then you don't deserve to get out of bronze...[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Although seriously, PLEASE know how to play around your counters. If you play on only playing Riven, please don't do a very obvious back-flip knock-up onto a Fiora with W up. Most matchups you can still win if you know why that person is supposed to counter you, and play accordingly. Dash at that fiora first so she thinks you're gonna E stun so she wastes her parry. (Doesn't really apply to you since you JG, but you're not always guaranteed that, so it's still good to know.

And please, don't be a meta sheep. I don't care what faker does. I don't care whose OP right now. Learn a champion and be good at them. You'll do better than the guy first timing the most broken champion in the game every time.

Run into the enemy base at level 1 to make them think youre bad then they go easy on you. Then show them that youre actually good and shit on them.

if you are above bronze level in skill, it's pretty much just luck unless you are like plat playing against bronze 4. you can carry all day long but if bronze 5 billy wants to go 2/15 not much to do.

advice wise, ward friggin everything. vision can win games

Minions are your enemy, not champions. Your only goal is to kill the minions without dying.

Don't always build same build. Per exemple when u already have item 1419 > item 3022 or item 3748 don't just buy HP, but buy some resistance item like item 3026 item 3143 item 3065 ...

And u play jungle... at the start : /mute all

  1. Maximize gold
  2. Minimize deaths
  3. Prioritize towers over kills

Q up with a friend or 4 friends.

Or you could play an OP carry champ like Nasus and solo carry. Just keep playing.

find a champ you like. play him till you get to diamond. pretty much my story. when i started playing i played mundo support. after seeing zacs joke i started maining him. started ranked in bronze 2 went to rbonze 5 and just kept playing till i at some point reached plat in my first season. look if there is a streamer playing your role that seems sympatic to you and just watch him/her play from time to time. last but definetly not least, have fun and let other have fun. dont be a dick, even if you are better than someone.

Just pay attention to enemy aggressiveness If they are oddly over aggressive then it is probably that you are being ganked Even though it is just bronze-silver people will still not be randomly aggressive Also in low elo people makes it REALLY obvious when they are getting someone to gank for them
