I'm stuck in silver

Eurothemist·2/16/2018, 10:00:44 PM·1 votes·263 views

Long story short, I'm stuck in silver. I ended in gold last season as an Yasuo main. I have no problem admitting my mistakes or faults in the game. I am currently a Jax Jungle main. Most games I play very well, but as I said above, Have no problem admitting when I have bad games / plays.

I gank a lot, I can usually get my laners pretty far ahead of their enemy laner, by giving my laners first blood or getting them a couple kills. But.. It all goes downhill throughout the game usually, The laner that I got 2 kills by 5 minutes starts getting solo killed by their laner.

The enemy team starts roaming all over the map with no enemy missing pings, Killing our other lanes. Everyone starts getting irritated and starts flaming. Game gets even worse, Afkers.. Inters.. People straight up disconnect from the game.

I'm not sure what to do. I have great map awareness and CONSTANTLY give my team mates heads up with pings, but they won't listen. I can type, ENEMY MASTER YI BOTTOM and ping DANGER the maximum amount of times but they won't even budge.. they keep pushing up and then give a double kill to YI.

They won't listen. What do I do? I find myself starting to hate the game. This isn't healthy for me.

If we make it to late game, I can usually carry as long as my team mates aren't super terrible. As jax is extremely good at splitting as not many people can 1v1 a full build jax, but even then sometimes I can't. I can be split pushing, The whole enemy team comes for me ( Which is fine) but my team mates won't push any other lanes or take objectives when the enemy team comes for me.

I really am losing motivation. Please help. Jax

One thing is you'll probably wanna find another champ to get comfortable with atm :P I just started playing jax in ranked and man it feels like he has a 100% ban rate atm, I actually expect him to be banned every lobby and I'm also in silver so surely you're experiencing that too :o

Other than that I guess just add this unlawful dude lol, only advice I could give you that's somewhat working for me(only I just now got into silver from b3) is to just be a one man army. Rely on yourself and only yourself for the match, because as you realize, 80% of the time you ping or try to communicate with the m8s anyways, they either have no idea wtf you're talking about or they just ignore you because they trust their self more.

I was once a jungle main but eventually that changed because even when I spam pinged 5 times on my way to let him know I'm jumping in for a gank, they just don't seem to realize it and I end up 1v1'ing the fucking laner or something. I try very hard to only play top or mid lane and beat my opponent so that I can practically 1v5 the match because at least in this elo, if you don't have a duo, that's almost the only way possible to go about it from my experience.

Not gonna read anything other than the title, but I see Jax so I'ma assume you main him

Watch this, study this, internalize everything about this (the wiggle isn't nearly as important as he says it is in like 95% of elos tho so don't get caught up too much on that). It got me from barely holding onto gold to briefly touching plat at the end of last season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GBBBo68AZY Nearly everything he says about Irelia's playstyle carries over seamlessly to Jax

(edit) Jax won almost all melee matchups at level 1 because of his E and fervor. Don't know if it's the same in season 8 with PTA. Haven't touched Jax since last season.
