Bronze life and what works for me(and probably everyone outside bronze and silver)

This is what I think people who are stuck in bronze do and therefore will never leave.

I think people just get aggressive at the wrong times.
- i have seen this a lot in people and myself even a few months ago - They get greedy and go in at horrible times or tower dive without understanding of their opponent and their champion.

**Lack of learning how to control lane flow, which would allow safety from jungle ganks. ** So I have guess that i have an 80% chance to win my lane(i dont know the actually stats), this is due to proper csing and lane management(I.e. do push the minions up too far, thus allowing for an easy enemy gank)

If you let the enemy minions to push up and the enemy champion it sets up an easier chance for your jungle to have a successful gank.

 The times i loose my lane are either because i am getting outplayed or because I see better opportunities in top or bot lane to take out a tower.  Because in the long term taking another tower may be more beneficial than say my tower.  Also, putting 3 bot get jungle pressure of top(sometimes ;) ) (90% of the time in bronze the mid laner wont follow me down)

People tend to go into places they shouldn't go, when they shouldn't

  • for example jungle counter jungling when they cant beat the onther jungle in a 1v1
  • or lack of vision i.e. ADC goes into enemy jungle by their selves only to get ganked. ( ADCs please for the love of god dont go anywhere by yourself)

Don't play champions you have no experience with or cant play well.

  • Not all champions are for everyone, for example I cant play Heimerdinger .
  • I dont play adc because i am bad at it, can i play and win sure. But I rather be in a position that I like and have more understanding for.
  • I don;t support because Im too attack oriented and I have a lack in trust of having to rely on a lane partner to help accomplish goals. Note: I have found someone who understands me and i him in game.....now only if he were a girl... ;)

**Lane splitting - **

  • Take chances to lane split but have wards and good map awareness.
  • Don't over stay your welcome. If someone comes to block your advances, chances are that the rest of the team will come too. This can eitehr benifit or harm your game. If the whole teams comes for you(in bronze they tend to chase you all the back to your base) It allows your team to focus and get a turret or two down.

Jungle-

Hey jungles out there, yea I understand you want kills but sometime its good to be more in a support role and let the lane take the kills. (if in lane, otherwise kill kill kill)

Mid/top-

Hey if you are doing good in lane, and you see another lanes needs help, try to help - only really do this is you are up in cs and tower has been shaved, other wise focus cs.

Csing-

This is probably the most important thing!
You are going to get more gold from csing, than kills 60% of the time.

This also falls under getting experience with champions, because they arent all the same and last hitting minions will be different.

**Above all else. Control your temper and stay calm. It you are tilting dont play and take a break and chill, because its only going to get worse. **

Following these rules I have seen an increase in wins and a promotion. (I would have had more but I don't play that often cause i have a job)

If you feel you can add anything to this please comment below.

Well on my college esports club we do scrims and when paired plats+ against plat+ i can hold my own but in bronze its hard to make plays with supports like leona,thresh, and blitz if people dont know you want to initiate or they don't take the lantern. the worst of them go ham after i've used my cc then ask why they died cuz everything i had was on cd

Yea that is the main reason I dont support. I have a found a few people that know what they are doing and its great

If i got really good a tahm i could prevent them from going in when i don't want them to but then they would flame and report me for trolling

Lol true story happens a lot. People need to open their eyes to their own mistakes.
