How do i escape silver?

Its Brody·4/1/2016, 9:47:18 AM·1 votes·927 views

before reading this know that i am 100% convinced that not only do i not belong in silver 5 but that escaping bronze and silver is 100% luck based and the only influence you can have on it is not feeding yourself i know that some diamond and challenger players escape it all the time but that because they are diamond and challenger put albert einstein in a grade 1 math class think hes gonna fail? Prove me wrong

I am as previously stated silver 5 I have made it to silver 4 3 times and then immediately went back down to silver 5 I currently have 14 lp (had 80 this morning) i set my roles as jg -> top i main trynd jax and nasus I average 8 cs/min with a kda of 1.78:1 (http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=itsbrody)

Ive tried litterally every method i can find on youtube/anyforum but for some reason i still consistantly get terrible teammates in my last 3 games ive had

a nasus who had 80 stacks by 20 minutes (i got him first and second blood)
a 1-11 azir who rushed rabadons
A 3-9 karma who kept trying to 1v5

I just need some advice on how to deal with theese players

Everyone on this forum is just going to try to shit on you and tell that you suck. I completely feel where you are coming from though, the ranking system is garbage. My advice? Find some teammates, work on finding bullshit ways to win that you can abuse, or stop caring about it.

I know that's pretty lame advice, but it's about all the better you're gonna get.

inb4 you have forum superstars looking into you match history to flame you for being frustrated lol

the better you play, the higher rank you will be able to get. it also can't just be a few games, it has to be all of your games. if you are stuck at silver 5, it's because you play at or close to a silver 5 level. i've seen many people able to climb from bronze and silver, not because of luck, but from how they play and they weren't even in plat.

some games, you won't win. it's not able winning every since game. it's about how you play over many, many games and about continuously improving.

even if you were somehow right with not being at a silver 5 level, what level do you think you are at? not think if you got there for a moment; is that your end goal or will you want to get higher? i believe either way, it's good to just focus on improving. also, even if you were on a bit of a bad luck streak for now, improving would make climbing easier than it is now and will get you higher in the ranks.

Just play ADC in close to every role. Fight 24/7 as Death timers are 300 year long at 5 mins into the game and just group and camp early and often.

I main top and jungle as well. I'd like to forward an aforementioned idea, play cheesy champions. You can see from my runes that I only play Teemo, Singed, Elise, and Rammus.

This going to sound funny since the account I am on is bronze but I should be silver 3 or higher soon depending on how much I play. That part is not important though reality it is I can 10000% guarantee and tell you getting past silver 4 or 5 is more than just "luck". I am not great at this game but I am good enough to get passed silver 4 on multiple accounts over the last 3 seasons. Its about avoiding the tilt and learning the game. If you keep getting demoted then your playing around your actual elo and until you improve you will not rank up.

People generally rank up quickly until they reach their actual elo and then struggle to climb farther until they either improve or get frustrated and get tilted and then end up ranking down.

The choice is yours my friend. But once again I GUARANTEE IT IS NOT JUST BAD LUCK KEEPING YOU IN SILVER 4 OR 5. I can say this because I am the king of silver and know all the divisions well hehe.

No advice here as I'm stuck at Silver 2.

Silver is interesting because it's a mixture of Bronze players who rose above the rest and solo carried out of bronze, as well the players who hitched a ride into Silver on the backs of these players.

So the decision on whether your going to win a match is decided as soon as get into champ select.

If your team has more solo carriers than the carried, you'll win, and vice versa.

A mixture of 70% luck and 30% individual skill.
