Low Ranking Players Should Read This...

Here are a few things wrong with low ranked players. I understand that I am low ranked but this is some of the stuff that I see going on in my ranked games that are the reason why people tilt out, lose the game, and afk.

  1. Blaming the jungler. This is a big issue I see alot. "Youre not ganking my lane enough." or "It's (insert Champ name here) fault for doing this." How hard is it to play safe and look at your map? If you see there are one or two champs coming to your lane, either ask for help or back off. If your team can contest it, then back off completely. Id rather give the tower up then give the tower up and die with my fellow teammates.

  2. Not warding. I can not stress this enough. Ward. Some people think sightstone is a bad item. Well waste your money on wards then and ward up. It is not your supports job to place 100 wards on the map so dont even try to blame them either. All champions should upgrade there trinkets at level 9. Instantly. Not at level 10 or 11. Level 9... Help with warding.

  3. Looking at your map for once! Its not hard. DIVERT YOUR EYES TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE SCREEN for a sec, then continue to push or back off if you see enemies coming your way. Its really not hard to do. If you think you can win the 3v2 DON'T do it. A Thats really risky and B why would you risk losing lane, a turret, a death or three, and Experience?

  4. Having all chat on. Just turn it off. It should be removed from the game. It doesnt help people get better. If we couldnt talk to the other team im pretty sure this game would be less toxic. Some people may disagree, but oh well. Playing against the enemy team and talking shit to them WHILE you're losing is stupid. You're losing. Not them.

  5. Pick a champ you know. Don't think for a second that its ok to play a ranked game with a champion for the first time AFTER you read the mobafire guide on it. Thats how you dont climb. Practice in normals, Practice in private games with a friend or bots, or practice bots. Do whatever, I dont care. As long as you dont try stuff out in ranked...

  6. If and when you are playing ranked then please play seriously. This is a big issue ive come across. "I dont care about my LP." or "Im high rn." These are excuses, go play normals and practice if you dont know what you are doing.

  7. Map Awareness. Already talked about wards, but like yeah... Its that important. A pick can win you the game, Sight on drag can get you drag, Sight on baron CAN get you baron. Sight is amazing and probably one of the best things ever.

  8. DO NOT gank a lane when your laners are oom. Or dont gank a lane when you are oom. Its a bad idea.

  9. Listen to pings. You know those loud sounds that happen sometimes? Yeah thats someone pinging you to not go there or to help with something or to tell you that a laner is missing and to watch for a gank. There is even one for saying im on my way. Use these and listen to them. They also appear on your map haha. Again Look at your map. Will help you alot if you just LOOK AT YOUR map :)

and here i thought "regardless of how bad they all do in lane, all seju has to do is land her stun on ~2people and i can take care of the rest" - LOL NOPE, IMA MISS.

fine fine fine, its fine, all nami has to do is land a bubble...... NOPE, miss 9/10 bubbles, and the only one ill hit is the enemy leona after she dives my face and after ive taken a ton of burst damage.

...............................

in these moments i just go sigh chalk up the loss and move on. you're asking way to much of new/inexperienced players. everything you just said, is common knowledge and will land you at least into gold if you consciously take it all into consideration at least somewhat throughout the game.

but in the end its still about getting your team to group up, for anything, thats literally all that needs to be done at the lower ranks and it nearly guarantees the win.

you should be giving people ideas on how to get your team mates to group up.

Couldn't agree more. Just one thing to add, try not to entertain verbal fights within the team by taking sides. Better go passive and tell them to focus on the game.

As someone who often ends up warding while jungling, I agree, WARD.

It's beautiful every time I'm not the only one on my team that wards. 3 is not enough for one person to provide vision! Vison is everyone's responsibility!
