Want one easy tip to climb out of Bronze?

CS******

Most people in Bronze don't have the mind to last hit any creeps, which makes them very deficient in gold.

Say for instance, your enemy laner goes for mostly harass, and misses a lot of CS because he's not focusing/mechanically terrible, and the result is 30-40CS in 10 minutes.

You on the other hand, will not focus on poking, you will focus on last hitting, and you will be between 70-90 CS, technically speaking, 20 CS is first blood money (On average).

You are two first bloods ahead of him in gold!!!!

You know what happens now? When you back, you have more damage, and tools than he does to win engagements.

Let's take the game farther than 10 minutes.

Let's say were 30 minutes in, and the above CS/10 minutes holds.

Your enemy will have between 90-120 CS at 30 minutes, but let's call it 150 CS because maybe he rotated a bit and got CS from other lane waves too.

You on the other hand, will be at between 210-250 CS, which puts you miles ahead in terms of damage or durability than your opponent, and you can literally just steam roll on a gold advantage.

CS wins Bronze games.

cs wins games far beyond bronze

issue in lower elos and majority of the mindset of the player base they think the game is about fighting... they always want to fight and its not

its an objective base game... its a slow sweet suffocation of the enemy til you over take and win

People severely underestimate the value of farming. 16 CS is approximately equal to 1 kill. So if you're 2 kills up but 50 cs down, you're still behind.

http://mobalyticshq.com/blog/detailed-analysis-warding-league-legends/ warding is also pretty significant.

Just improving on those two things would probably jump you up a division or two.

most mid players in bronze aren't that bad, average cs at 10 minutes is around 60-70 which could be better, i've seen lower of course but most good mid laners in bronze will focus on cs

CS at 10 minutes isn't everything. Low elo players consistently stop paying attention to CS mid-late game and just focus on kills and objectives. Even if they have 60-70 cs at 10 minutes (which still isn't good), at 20 minutes they might have 120-130, and at 30 minutes, it's not rare to see people sitting at 150.

that is true, most people don't focus cs after landing phase is over, and i know 60-70 isn't great but i didn't mean for it to be

recently i've been focusing on my cs and reached 400 in a 50 minute game which i thought was pretty good

i won a game as lux mid with a cs of 30 at the end of the game, granted i had 21 kills cause i ganked bot and mid while our jungler had connection issues lol, i don't think its the cs i think its more the teamwork, saying cs is everything causes mid laners to ping spam the jungler when they run in to gank to push away the enemy mid laner.
