How to escape Bronze, By an ACTUAL former Bronzie.

Back in the day, I looked up a lot of videos on how to get out of bronze, but I quickly realized every video I saw was some challenger tier player that hasnt been bronze since... ever. This annoyed me.. So now that i've carried myself into gold, on multiple accounts, i feel like i should give a bit of insight as to what really helped me out.. The advice you always hear is: "Play... Better." or even better, "Play who's broken" which i think just sets you up for difficulty in silver/gold. I have used a few techniques/changed a few thought processes that were holding me back.

If I help anyone with this video, my goals accomplished. :D

TL:DR

I hated hearing advice on how to escape Bronze, from a person that hasnt seen a Lower elo for a few seasons. Heres how I did it.

+1 because of how true it is.

One thing you missed.

CS. As a bronze ADC When I'm having a bad game I get 50 CS at 10. When i have a good game it's 60 CS at 10.

#However a friend of mine in gold, tells me, I need 70 CS at 10 minutes or better.

Just another one of those little things you can practice on. because about 16 creeps is worth a kill, instead of chasing kills in the jungle, Keep CSing and push their towers.

CS -> Towers = objectives = wins.

Easy to say, but if your team loses those bot lane wars you are left alone to defend all the turrets. Sorry, but I have tried all of these things. It doesn't work.

This does give a lot of perspective on how to get from bronze to gold, and while I enjoy watching these videos, as you climb you have to recognize that this will only get you so far. When going from Plat-Diamond you have to look a step deeper. "Oh I'm going to go steal their blue but the Enemy mid is MIA? Why don't I know where the enemy mid is?" If they're B or ganking Bot that's cool. If you checked the map ten seconds earlier and saw the enemy jungler ganking mid and walking back to their red, they're probably not in your red so you don't need to check 'then'.

The transition point I would say going forwards is going from "Oh I don't know this, I'm going to play safe." to "Why don't I know this? How can I make sure I 'do' know this next time?"

This isn't a negative review, this is simply the evolution of the philosophy.
