Dear Everyone In Silver Elo

Stop dying, when you die you put your team behind. Stop ignoring pings. Stop overstaying after getting an objective, it's absolutely okay to back off and regroup. Stop splitpushing when you don't have teleport or when you're ahead, just group and end the game. It is NOT okay to die more than once from 5-10 minutes, if you are doing that you're ruining the game for everyone else. ALWAYS help your jungler, if there are 3 people stealing your junglers red buff, every single one of you on that jungle side stop them and make sure they get no benefit from it, waste their time like they wasted yours. If someone on your team steals your lane, don't stay in that lane. You can easily remedy the situation by being the team player and going to whatever lane they were supposed to be. The faster you win the faster you can never play with them again. Stop recalling after a successful teamfight, you automatically negate any lead you have. Stop playing whatever you want and ignoring team composition, it is extremely possible to lose the game at champion select, if you see the enemy team has 3 tanks, do not allow your team composition to be all squishy. If the enemy team has loads of CC, do not play all champions with no CC. You just won't win the game. Just because people say "it's silver anything works" doesn't mean it applies to you. That is only said if you're a onetrick, but that isn't everyone. Silver elo is filled with new players, smurfs, high elo players yet to leave it, and hard stuck silver players. Chances are your team is filled with brand new players or you are the brand new player, if that is the case, learn how to play a tank like Malphite, Maokai, Tahm Kench, Ornn, Gnar, and take one for the team. Stop giving up so early and feeding to end the game. One thing is the score being 2 to 20, okay just surrender you're all trash. But if it's 4 to 8, play your best, start grouping or helping other lanes to get a lead, follow your jungler. If you play an adc and you don't onetrick a specific adc STOP PLAYING LOW TIER ADCS. There is 0 reason to play Ashe when Varus exists, and zero reason to play Vayne when Varus exists. Chances are you're absolute garbage at Vayne and if you can't get yourself a kill by your first gank you're never going to get a kill unless you KS. If you play Support, stop playing supports with no low CD CC or little utility. If you don't know any support champs, choose a mage and go botlane, play like you're a solo laner but without having to CS. REPORT EVERYONE who gets double digit deaths; this is a harsh rule but it is for your benefit. Riot has made silver possibly the worst places to climb out of since they actually believe silver elo is the "average" player's abilities, when it is not. That is wrong, completely wrong. If the majority of players who were new to league or new to ranked got placed in bronze, only players with actual intent to improve would leave bronze. Always play around the strongest player; if someone on your team is fed or really good, group around them, listen to what they say. Having tons of kills is meaningless if the game isn't won. Win the game even if you have to be a sacrificial lamb. My final words before I sleep: BAN THINGS YOU CANNOT PLAY AGAINST DO NOT BAN SUPPORTS BAN THINGS YOUR TEAM WILL FEED ALWAYS BAN SOMETHING, NEVER BAN NOTHING Everyone in Silver has a weakness, and more often than not that weakness lies in the form of Akali, Fizz, Katarina, Leblanc, (A good) Yasuo, Zed, Evelynn, Illaoi, Nidalee and Zoe. If you are banning an ADC that does not have Max % HP damage and wasn't recently buffed, you are wasting a ban.

Good night.
