How to effectively escape Bronze/Silver/Gold within a few steps.

This is a guide on how to escape lower elos granted you have moderate game knowledge and non-existent mechanical skill.

  1. Play MasterYi.
  2. Watch cowsep's videos/streams, dude's very educational and knows the champ inside out; what's really crucial is that you HAVE to adopt his mentality.
  3. Once a game starts /fullmute all and proceed to do your usual jungle pathing (check cowsep for details).
  4. Do not gank unless you know you're getting a kill, if you have a mid lane Ziggs that's getting anal rapeaged by a Zed and spamming assist pings then you already fucked up by not muting them.
  5. Do not give buffs to garbage players, if you have a 5-0 mid laner or so it's okay to give him blue if he can make good use of it. Never give your ADC red buff, you're the carry not them.
  6. Do not EVER gank bot lane pre level 6 and or in some cases pre item 1419 powerspike. You need to be able to 1v2 enemy bot lane by flashing into the enemy ADC hitting him a few times then moving into the support for the double kill. You can't depend on your bot laners to carry the gank, your ADC will prolly ignore you entirely and keep CSing and your support might randomly flash-miss a skillshot or drop an summoner 3 on the enemy support.
  7. Always abuse bad players. If the enemy mid Corki pushes his lane and uses W aggressively feel free to run up to him and kill him; he'll probably tilt and keep playing aggro while blaming his jungler allowing you to get fed off of him and snowball the game. Other example is when the enemy top laner pushes past river without vision feel free to run up to him and hit him a few times while spamming your mastery emote.
  8. Either ban MonkeyKing every single game or immediately dodge when you get one on your team; Wu players are trash and always excessively feed.
  9. Never flame your teammates, if they KS you or steal your camps just ignore the trolls or drop question mark pings all over their heads if necessary.

This shouldn't be in Gameplay, this is clearly meant for memes and games.

And why is that exactly? I'm legitimately trying to help lower elo players climb by sharing my personal experience throughout season 7; it's okay if you don't want to climb but why spout nonsense?

Magical Zoe1 votes

Couple things, you never said it was your personal experience, even if this is YOUR personal experience, what makes you think anybody could emulate this? This guide of yours is pretty toxic and is screaming "me me me".

This is really old or some emo teen made it.

Coming from the guy who takes tp/smite in the jungle and tp/heal in lane; couldn't even tell whether you were serious. Not to rank shame but your negative winrate in bronze clearly shows your strategy isn't working and possibly never will.

Anyhow if you have nothing useful to add please do not bother commenting.

All you gotta do is play Yi. I refuse to play Yi so I have to actually work to win games.

Play Yi. Run around and gank everyone. Then laugh at how broken it is. If you want advice then.

Don't play Zac or Maokai because they require a team and you rarely get that in bronze. Always ban Zed cuz if he's halfway decent he will get fed easy.

So emulate a certified veteran, mute everyone for no reason, and be a toxic asshole if things dont swing my way

Yea, people are already doing those 3 things in ranked

All you need to do is know map pressure and tell your team about it.

Banning MonkeyKing is also crucial.

... lol no you dont... you also need to have them LISTEN

and you need to have a reliable enough connection to play ranked.. (which is why I'm stuck in silver right now [slayer-jinx-unamused])

Tldr: Your guide has a few decent points but is largely over shadowed by tips that promote toxic behavior and your own personal bias. It does not address much specifically to lower elo. At this point you could just have been like any board troll and ended this in 2 points and it would have been about as helpful to folks in lower elos.

Example.

  1. Watch cowsep
  2. GIT GUD NUBS! CARRY HARD DRURRR.

Lets see.

Point 1. Yea he does have strong solo carry potential, can snowball and split. Not my first recommendation for bronze and silver as it will require a time investment to get strong enough to carry with him. One tricking is a good method to compensate for lower game knowledge but it can only go so far.

Point 2. Good of you to provide a source to learn higher mechanics. Probably the most useful thing in your post.

Point 3. Nah man the hell is this? Terrible attitude and advice. My advice here would be Don't tilt over chat, if you need to mute some one cuz you get tilted then fine mute them, but gutting your communication for no reason what so ever is bad advice in any elo.

Point 4. Few things, first it requires game knowledge to know when your able to pull this off. I don't know if your assumption for get the kill is only considering your own plays or if you can work around your teammates here so a bit more clarity on what you mean would be appreciated. Also Ganks that don't get kills but can be used to take towers/dragons/rift are still worthwhile. Communication with your team will increase your odds of getting kills on ganks so point 4 does not agree with your point 3. If your only ganking when your feel it gets you a kill disregarding teammates help your missing out on opportunities, no matter how much ya want to solo this is a team game.

Point 5. I would argue that you should not give buffs to at risk teammates. A bad matchup mid whos able to play safe and cs off their abilities may be worth giving blue to so they can keep CS with lower risk and thus lower deaths. All it would require slight communication and for one to set their expectations with out being a toxic ass. Now your point about Blue going to a good mid but never sharing red is not great advice, if your adcs doing better then you let them take it. Give tools to win to the people who use them best, if that's you fine if its adc also fine don't drag your ego into it. Look to the game and use some simple logic.

Point 6. Contradiction to your point 4. Also you should avoid wasting flash if you don't need to use it. I know your aware of this as a player but your gearing this advice to lower elo players so having it be a rule that they should blow flash to gap close on adcs is a mistake. I would have pointed out that bot can be more difficult to gank , due to the supports on both sides your needing to factor in the additional 8 (ish) ability's and 4 SS as well as the 2nd trinket increasing vision and/or sightstone which can impact your success.

Point 7. Good advice, also if a gank gets flash doubling back on them can really Fk a lane up. Yii is gold hungry so any free kills are good kills.

Point 8. Your personal Bias, useless . If you have issues with a counter pick or difficult matchup go for it tell folks what it is the creates the problem and why its worth a ban. Claiming wu players are trash so burn a ban, well that's trash advice.

Point 9. Don't flame is good advice, Spamming pings is not. You know if you did not mute everybody you might be able to talk it over with them, build a game plan to buy time till your farmed and then decimate the enemy team.

This guide is trash (coming from a guy who's been through every elo) If you really want to climb following someone's guide follow LS.. not cowsep..

NLGG3R BEATER1 votes

Yeah a Korean diamond 1 and ex-challenger is definitely not worth following. LS is an arrogant prick who flames his followers. Cowsep is a chill guy who also happen to be very educational and fun to watch; you're obviously a non-believer.
