@PSA: Don't rely on your junglers for everything...

Note: If you're going to post some sarcastic, snarky, sassy comment at me - please just leave. If you feel I'm wrong, just do it respectfully and call it a day. I'm not saying to not state your opinion, we have the freedom of speech. Just don't instigate. Thanks.

The title says half of it.

Okay, I'm Bronze right now. My opinion may not matter to you, and if it doesn't - this post is not dedicated to you. I'm here to give advice that I've found successful.

And it's been too frequent people keep messing up in Bronze, causing the losses of others. I don't see what's so hard.

Yes, mechanically in Bronze, as a group - mechanics are bad. But there's still no excuse for the lack of game knowledge sometimes when people tell you things. Nobody can carry every single game.

Because for the past few games, everytime I've gotten ganked - I don't die. I play wisely. Yeah, I can lose a tower but I know how to rotate, farm, split-push, and get back up.

Listen. Let's say you're playing Lux mid against Syndra. Obviously this is a tough lane matchup. She will poke you, CC you, and her ultimate will instantly delete you if she gets her full combo off. You'd have to play it pitch-perfect. This is hard, we understand. Try your best to farm and focus on not dying. Your jungler will help you push at some point.

But this is Bronze. Bronze players, for some reason I don't know why, DON'T HEED TO ADVICE. Listen to the chat or the pings. It's like the minimap doesn't unlock until you hit Gold. We're telling you - you're a squishy so you'll be camped by junglers if you push. You'll be deleted. Just farm, you outscale them. Don't blame your teammates for your fails[cough, cough (stereotypical main meme here)]. I'm not the one who went Master Yi and tried to 1v3 the enemy team ignorantly.

But fuck logic because you say, "But if I don't push how the fuck will I get the tower?" We're not saying not to get the tower. We're saying minimize our losses so they don't get that gold income from kills. Simply farm it out and invoke a teamfight when we outfarm them then rotate to sidelanes.

Push sidelanes for a bit and stop incoming enemy waves then group. If you're 1-10, just farm. You're pretty much useless at that point since you can't do anything but be a meat shield unless you're a Lee Sin[Yes, he's broken].

Next, ward please. You're a support main? You're useless if you don't ward. And let me remind you supports have limits to what they can ward and this is something so many people forget. Just get a farsight ward to be safe when warding. It has a massive range. Help your teammates out by warding.

Junglers, get scuttle crabs. They exist for a reason - to give you health and vision. It's also a free 76 gold.

If you're finding yourself getting counterjungled - then it looks like it's an issue of poor vision. Oh - and get your teammates to help you if you can. If not, try to get the enemy's jungle camps in retaliation. Anything - literally. It doesn't have to be red or blue. It can be krugs, wolves, birds - even gromp. It's gold - it's farm.

Also, please counterjungle. If you're at the bottom-side of the map and you see your bot-lane is getting ganked, here are 4 words: CLICK.TOWARDS.THEIR.LOCATION.

Simple. You apply pressure, you force a fair teamfight, and they will get scared to dive you because they'll lose forces. Want to make this even better? Top teleports to bot-lane, mid goes to bot - make it a 5v3. Dive the mid-laner who tries to defend it if every other enemy except the enemy toplaner dies. Take the turret. Rotate to mid - do the same.

Rotate-rotate-rotate-know what you can do and can't do.

I don't care if you're Mastery Level 7 Lee Sin. If you go Lee Sin support and don't communicate what the fuck is going on, what the fuck you're going to do, and how the fuck it's going to work - then stop wasting time. It's Bronze. Nobody trusts it. You're not reliable. Seriously, you have to explain it and get everyone to agree on what might happen. Prepare a copy-pasta essay because it'll turn to a rapid argument. Don't do it if not everyone agreess. Don't force it on us.

People don't mind non-meta but extremely crazy offpicks are risky. It can easily be abused and tear the team apart due to miscommunication with play executions.

And I don't care if you're a smurf unless you're from LCS.

Don't leave the fucking game because your ass is getting handed to. We'll grab your ass - and your shit, and give it right back. Just stay put, behind bars[us], and farm to get back in the game.

Position yourself. Let's say the whole enemy team is at bot-lane's tower. Don't try to ambush them from behind through the river - especially if you're squishy. Only do this if you're really tanky and can escape/handle the damage. You'll get targeted and give a free kill. Just go around the other bush and flank through the jungle pathways.

Try to engage when someone gets hit by CC. Don't chase a low-hp enemy by yourself. Simple stuff but people forget.

Playing with my Gold I friend and Diamond V friend taught me a lot. I actually do go positive in games due to this even when I lose. I do claim the title of "did not feed on my team and did the most fucking work" if we lose several times. I don't attempt dumb engages and I position myself accordingly. I'm proud to say that I improved - even to points where other players have acknowledged my skill to be compared to Gold or see my account as a smurf.

I'm proud to say that I like being positive during games, giving morale, helping teammates out.

I've learn about these things and I've been in the top 2 of my team in terms of efficiency. Now for me, it's just about macro-mechanics and knowing how to carry people. I still lack game knowledge, I still don't know how to stop a team from Baron, I still can't jungle, I'm only decent at support, and I don't have many viable champions for all roles.

But... But.... At least I want to get better, and will. I hope you do too.
