The climb! Getting out of Bronze, the higher the better!
So lately i've been trying really hard to get better at the game and to climb out of bronze. Last season I managed to do it, but that was at the very end of the season when I got back home from a very long break.
So this season I tried it again, and I've learned a lot. Here are some things I learned about getting out of bronze (not anything more than that for now, goal is to get to Gold :D )
-
Be nice, you flame someone, they tilt or quit. Thats just a fact in that elo (and others to be frank) Don't flame people, be considerate and try to do whats best for the team (and whats best for you to get a win). People are way more likely to do worse or to troll your team or quit if you sit there and tell them to un-install all game.
-
Practice a little. I made sure to do a few custom CS practice matches, 2 bot matches and 2 normal matches, before I went to ranked with a new champ. Or if I changed my main champ. Its just good to get in some good practice with a new champ.
-
Be good at at least 2-3 champs. Have a main, and have a secondary main for your secondary role of course. Then the other champs are troll team mate champs. (Like if someone kicks you out of your roles so you have to do something you haven't done before) I usually play
for my main, then 
and 
for mid and top if I need to go there. And to counter pick other adc's I also use 
and 
-
Keep it simple silly, stay close to the meta to get OUT of bronze, other elo's can be different but to get out of bronze you want to stick with the champ that has the strongest kit, that doesn't require a PhD to play (ie.
) I stick to caitlyn because I can lots of damage from a distance and she counters quite a few popular adc champs right now. -
Keep yourself calm, play with good friends if you can, (and unfortunately if they suck you should try solo in ranked), or listen to music lightly in the background. Remember that you're learning, that you won't win every single match, and especially in bronze, you're going to run into a lot of random trolls, hot heads, cocky peeps, or those with the... bad connect... O.O So laugh at yourself if you screw up, annnnnnnd mute all if your team starts flaming you. Trust me its better to mute than to argue. I was on such a good winning streak after a terrible losing streak. I went 7 days with only losing 1 match. It almost got me straight out of bronze. But right at the end of my bronze series I got some unlucky events and lost my series after winning so many in a row. It happens. Keep trying.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE Don't play too much. I only played 2-3 maybe 4 matches in a day. So maybe an hour a day. Reason being this, if I win 2 or 3 matches in a row, I stop for the day. I leave on a high so the next day Ill be ready to continue the wins. IF i lose 1 or 2 matches, I stop. I walk away and calm down because losing sucks, and I do something fun with my friends or fam. YES you do want to get out of bronze but NO you don't want to be in the LCS and you don't want to discourage yourself.
I hit such a long lose streak because I played, won a bunch and then lost 1 and wouldn't stop until I redeemed my loss... but then I ended up taking it too far and it caused me to tilt more often during a match and to do worse in my matches.
If you have any tips or tricks with getting out of bronze, lemme know :D I want to continue learning and now I have to adjust to slightly higher elo's as I work my way up to gold. I don't have much experience there so some advice would be nice.
Thanks for reading :D
