Looking for Guidance

Fellow Summoners,

I am in need of some guidance/advice/tips. I am eternally stuck in bronze and this can be for a variety of reasons, however i feel its smart to focus on the things that can be controlled. There is always going to be toxic people, trolls, and otherwise terrible players and this is inevitable and i accept it. What i am looking for is what i can do personally to help drive up my win % and climb. Just some simple tactics, strategies, or mechanics i can focus on that will help smooth out the bronze experience.

I can play any role however i prefer ADC, Mid, Jungle - in that order.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Looks like you're pretty new. 34 ranked games in season 6 a little over 200 this season. Definitely stay in ranked. I see you taking ignite on Ashe, that is kinda odd. I don't think ADC is a good role for somebody so new but if you stick to it and learn a lot, watch some guides, watch more and more guides and streams. Bronze 5 isnt as easy as you might think. When I decided to play only ranked I ran into some pretty tough competition.

As ADC I would learn to and focus on farming and not feeding. Ashe is a good choice imo she can engage, peel, do good damage and help find missing enemies. Dont always go for cross map ults, save it to help your jg gank your lane or to save an alli. Use your damage to defend towers and take drags/towers. Don't try to 1v1, let your support/team help you.

You may have a lot to learn before you can get out of bronze, it's a real struggle, i've done it a few times with my Soraka but I'm real dedicated to mastering her (540k mastery).

Do a custom game and try to see how much cs you can get in 10 min, if less than 85 you should try again and dont use a ton of AD to make it easy.

Good morning my friend. I'll offer what I can. Bare in mind I've only peaked in gold, and I don't under any circumstances consider myself a good player.

I think it's critical to know that we are all pretty garbage at this game. Until high plat, most people have no clue what they are doing in the game. For this reason, it's probably unwise to trust your teammates to do anything. Your personal gameplay is more important.

For that reason, I suggest limiting your champion pool to 2 in each role. Read guides, watch videos, practice and try your best to learn these champions. You could also look into a tier list to show you the best champions in each role for each patch. Id suggest nerfplz.com

Once you get to this point, only play those champions. Learn to last hit and try your best to get as much farm as possible. Trading in lane rarely happens in low elo, so instead of worrying about it, just farm. Reach your power spikes then split push.

Every game is different, obviously. Base on your champions you may want to teamfight for often. For example, I play jax and amumu in the jungle primarily. So with jax I try to get strong with good ganks and win the split push game. As amumu I try to get fed with ganks and proceed to group up for team fights.

Keep working at improving your own gameplay. Climbing in league isn't easy but it's definitely possible. I started at bronze 5 when I began ranked and then grew to gold. It just sucks that every new season I get placed in silver again lol.
