How to improve to ride into ranked games

Peace Is Life·Apr 9, 2016·3 votes·274 views

Hi I think I have a problem. After my placement games, I was placed Bronze 3 (it's ok). My MMR is really highter but when i played my 2 ranked games in Bronze 3, I didn't did positive scores. It's a Nasus and a Udyr on my 2 games that lead us to victory, if they were not there I think we would have lost. So I am asking you guys to give me some tips, share with me a guide or something like that to help me improve myself. If you are diamond, platinium or gold can you tell me how did you improve yourself to go at this league.

P-S: I want to be at least Gold 5 this season plz

Thank you

Ignore Lyless...he posted asking for help a while ago and just argued with all advice people gave him. People do give answers and can be helpful if you consider the advice given

If advice applied to me at all, I would have listened. But since it didn't, I didn't listen. Makes sense to me.

And your advice was really bad. Don't tell anyone anything!

I suggested warding more...but you know...guess vision loses games...must be why all LCS players ward, they must be so bad.

Anyways ignoring you now...if you're going to troll the boards, might as well not encourage you

And if you are going outright lie to new players and tell them it all there fault for everything that happens than maybe you should just leave the boards!

Not greatest but from your last Ekko game where you went 2/5/6

Your runes are all over the place so that will give you an early game disadvantage. If you're going more tank ekko style look at some pro build websites for proper runes. They do make or break early game. If AP Ekko run all AP quints...best IMO. Were you going tank Ekko? If yes you want Grasp of the Undying for the mastery not Thunderlords. Even AP Ekko, I wouldn't do Thunderlords per say...I'd probably run Stormraiders since you're supposed to be an assassin type.

You need to greatly improve your farming in a 27 min game you should have more then 88 farm. Perfect farm is roughly 100 per 10 minutes (first 10 is generally less though). Farming gets you more money so even if your laner has a kill on you, if you are outfarming him by alot, you have the advantage in lane.

I personally don't like Zhonyas on Ekko as a first item. Luden's Echo if you're going AP Ekko or sunfire (depending on matchup) if going tank Ekko.

You went to see my game history!! You're a good guy and I'll try to follow your tips next time.

Really thank you man :D

You're welcome...as I said I"m definitely not good by any means but that's just some things I saw. I also don't play Ekko much so can't help there :) but good luck! I'm sure with practice you'll easily climb!

It's hard to tell you what to do without seeing the actual games. While KDA does not determine victory, it definitely helps. Going 0/7/5 with Nid or 1/9/4 with Siv is a poor performance, and by 42 minutes you should have a full build. Read some guides on lolking and really take the advice given. Don't go into a game with a negative attitude. It sounds cheesy, but say something nice or not at all. League isn't always about getting kills it's about strategy - getting objectives and farming. Many higher ranked games do not have the number of deaths that lowers one do and for good reason.

If you're jungling learn about optimal pathing and warding. If someone is being pushed to their turret then most definitely gank for them.

If you are an adc learn to read your opponents and your support. Is your support a sustain or tanky cc? Are you a kill lane or passive farm lane? Knowing the answer to these questions will help you in the laning phase.

It is not usually a good idea to initiate without proper wards. Many people just want to play the game for the glory of getting kills but you can be easily punished for being greedy. Make farming and objectives higher priorities than getting kills.

In bronze I would recommend the following: always put the same role as your primary and the same role as your secondary. Pick no more than 5 champions to play in that role (1 or 2 would be better). Master playing them and you will know how to play them against a number of different champs.

Ok... first of all what is pathing? And I can play all positions except supp so sometimes I play Kalista ADC is it passive or agressive farming lane? And Sivir?

Thank you

Pathing is just the route you take to different jungle camps. It depends on your support and how they play. Blitz is probably a kill lane and Soraka is a passive farm lane although she can be decently aggressive. Support is a viable role, though. You may want to practice a few games a supp to learn what it takes for better synergy.
