Synopsis of high ranked advice given to me (diamond II who spectated games)
I had some high levels spectate my games, then posted the raw advice, now here is my summary of important things to correct.
1.cs is key to winning a losing lane... Screw that cs is the key to winning! ( among other things... Cs is like your vitamins... Essential, but a pain to be thorough with)
2.pushing lane for a reason is good, pushing it without vision/too far throws games.
3.map awareness makes or breaks fights, and objectives
4.Trading/engaging just because you can hurts way more often than it helps (lose cs, B sooner, behind exp/gold)
5.Levels are worth 400-700g of stats alone. Use that to your advantage, and consider it before trading.
6.Heavy damage rune pages might look nice, but they are usually out sustained by life steal pages at lower elos
7.Objectives win games, KDA only assists in getting an edge. Never let up pressure on any objectives if you can help it.
8.Its Okay to b! If you are low or need items... Go back then... Hanging around in a bad spot only opens doors for the enemy. Push lane and then b as soon as you can so your turret is still relatively safe. Don't back too often though or you will be at a level disadvantage.
9.Using your gold more efficiently than your enemy will turn an even lane into a winning lane.
10.Team comps MATTER don't let people fool you with the whole "low elos comp doesn't matter, its all skill match ups!" Because you are relatively similar in skill, and mid to late game really determines the winner, and that is when comps matter most.
11.Summoners are on very long CDs, so don't waste them. It will put you in a bad place later on when you really need them. Only use them if you are immediately threatened with dying, or it helps secure a very vital kill/objective
12.Rally your team, and ping everything 4 times. Pisses people off sometimes, but if it is worth doing, it is worth over doing. Make sure your team stays focused. Objectives win games
13.Spamming skills when using a mana based champ hurts your longevity in lane, which results in bad scenarios. Ex: exp loss/cs loss/oom in fights
