Could anyone of high elo actually play a few games with me and help me identify some key mistakes?

Oblivion455·Dec 22, 2016·1 votes·853 views

Like in many normals I can hold my own and put up a good fight, till I go on a massive massive win streak then start getting stomped a bit but when I play ranked all that any chance I ever have of doing good gets thrown out the window. Its my fault I know this cause even high elo players had to start somewhere on the bottom but the thing is is I just cant DO anything and people in ranked seem to player hyper ultra aggressive and I get picked down very easily. So I mean if I could get a buddy or something to identify what I am doing that is making me so horrible in ranked it would be appreciated a bit. thank you... ;w;

Honestly I am just wondering of the thought, "OMG RANKEDDDD" is somewhat whats holding me back....

What do you consider " high elo "

and maybe you just have ranked anxiety.

It's hard not to think about your LP, when it's the sole reason you're playing ranked.

But honestly, ranked anxiety shouldn't be a thing. Your LP may fluctuate and you could bounce from Silver 2 to Gold 4. But improvement is the only thing where you'll see profit after investment.

So your main worry should actually be on doing things better in game, instead of having the thought of losing 18 points.

A lot of people just play the game for the sake of playing. But there's the minority, who actually learn and apply to their play which in turn effects their win rate in a positive manner.

I can go in-depth about other topics and I don't know what kind of player you're looking for.. But I added you, we can chat on PM.

don't even need to spectate you or look at your stats to tell that you probably cs like a complete monkey and don't even ward to the minimum of a bronze player. The only reason you think you can decently 'hold your lane' is because you stated that you play normals (probably against unranked and sub-level 30s) against people who also play with 20 actions per minute and who also cs like monkeys.

your sense of how good you think you are; is diluted by the sea of incompetence which you have perpetuated.

this is not harsh, this is the reality.

Hahaha, yea you sound like a buddy of mine thats diamond that I used to play Lol among other games with, he always use to use those exact phrases. I completely agree with you, it's easy to feel like you're amazing when you're the "least" sucky person in normals but still suck HARD. XD

at least you agree with the sentiment then.

The game at its primitive level, is a farming simulator with only upwards gold accumulation. so I recommend improving your csing first. Aim for around 6-7 cs/minute per game which is the average for average players in lane positions.

Then you must realise league of legends and games alike originated in Real Time Strategy format, whereas the 2 most valued concepts was understanding of macro and micro play.

Macro in league denotes the greater scheme or the 'bigger picture', an umbrella for the gamewide strategy you use for winning the game. i.e. you shit on top lane, generate tons of pressure on the map that the enemy has to respond to otherwise they lose faster, therefore you are constantly 2/3-man dove top which creates a favourable position for your team to 4v2 them to victory.

Then you have Micro play which is your baseline mechanics like CSing, zoning, trading and close proximity vision control, things that are directly impacting your laning and team fighting.
