A simple guide on how to rank up
Has your rank been sitting at the
hold at Silver 1 or Bronze 1? How about Plat 1?
Well this is a guide to guarantee your rank will rise from 1 to 5 (because we all know 5 is a higher number then 1)
1.Strive for that S rank As we all know Champion 7 mastery shows true skill. Who actually accounts for your rank MMR. It is all about that shiny mastery sign you can flash when you get lucky. This means in game you have to focus only on yourself. Is the rest of your team doing poorly? Well screw them, it is their fault for sucking so badly and you can 1v5 because you need that S rank. Because even if you lose as long as you have that mastery symbol and an S in the end it means you deserve to rank up (Hence going from 1 to 5), if this is common for you, then good on for you, you are on your way to greatness
2.Reminding your teammates of how they are playing Lets face it, every single ally of yours is a boosted bonobo (unless you are a challenjour 5, which is the pinnacle of gameplay), there is a cure for this though. You just need to help your allies realize their mistakes. Not everyone is smart enough to realize when they messed up, or when they couldn't read your mind, because everyone should be able to do it, if they did you would be greater then faker! So make sure when you tell your allies of their mistakes that you use language that can not be taken either way. Make sure it is as explicit (both figuratively and literally) as possible. It is the only way to get through to most people since they need that help to achieve even greater mastery of the game. Soon enough these boosted animals will be realizing their mistakes and climbing the numbers with you! Good job you are helping everyone else too!
3.Kills are the most game impactful things to happen
I mean lets look at the LCS and worlds. Who wins with just a few games (pfftt not faker) so you gotta focus on those kills yourself. Dragons are nice, and towers are pretty so why destroy them. Instead you should take
advice and eradicate the scum who make the rift ugly. Make sure you always keep them off of your lawn. The rift is your playground and they are ruining your fun! Keep them from stomping on those lovely flowers and stuff. Plus this goes along with advice #1 and 2 because kills will help you get that S rank and it will help remind your team and the enemy of just how superior you are to them. If you can make sure to destroy all towers and inhibitors and sit outside their base sniping them the moment they respawn. Because its not only about the kills but about the message that you are clearly superior and never should lose.
Addition: Creeps also need a beating, make sure you don't let a single one get away without stealing its lunch money, or in special cases (
) their souls
Also !!! Don't buy needless items
Case and point
. I mean the first item was such a bad idea and a noob trap riot removed it from the game. Needless to say why should you buy an item that you already get free every so often?
!! No buying items like these are huge noob traps and can keep you from getting your power spikes at the right times. That 75g can make a huge difference in your build times. Instead you should let your radiating MMR guide you and your allies around the rift. It will give more then enough vision and blind your enemies wards so they can't see you. But Blacky, you might say, wont my enemies see me easier? Well in that case you would be wrong, because you will be so bright it will stun your enemies, just look at
ult.
As for other needless items you have to remember your class and realize what items are bad for it, to help you start I will give a few examples
ADC:
who needs MR you are so skilled mechanically nobody can touch you
Jungle:
Yea even I don't know what this item is, rito plz
Mid:
Health is for chumps, what you need is straight burst
Now these are probably some of the most important rules for raising your rank. Good luck and ill see you all in a week when we are all challenjour 5!
