"gets demoted back to silver"

StephenizgodAug 11, 20162 votes

D: what a negative thing to say! Ye of such little faith, when I make it to Challenger I will come back to this comment and rub it in your face >:(

Spicy RiceAug 11, 20161 votes

Not to be negative, but it happens. Just take me for example. I was gold 1 with 2 wins and 2 losses in series to plat. Now I'm silver 2 XD

Point it, gratz on gold, and don't be depressed of you fall down. Just gotta rise harder and stronger.

WHAT IS DEAD WILL NEVER DUE

StephenizgodAug 11, 20161 votes

haha yeah I told myself if i am about to get demoted I will probably just wait out this season and shoot for Plat next season :P

Thank you, I hope you can get back to Plat :)

BUT RISES AGAIN, HARDER AND STRONGER

I was bronze 2 about a month or so.Now i am silver 2.My goal is to get to gold before the season ends.Wish me luck!

P.S: I play Solo.

StephenizgodAug 11, 20161 votes

Good luck! Remember to keep calm and cool, don't rage at teammates, and look at your own mistakes before looking at others. This was the hardest part for me, it took me a long time to realize I was the one holding me back. Once I changed my attitude I shot right up through the ranks, its probably the most important thing to work on to climb in Silver.

P.S: I have only been playing with friends so your climb will most likely be more difficult than mine, but that just means you can take more pride in climbing yourself :)

I am trying my best to keep myself calm and cool,but i really hate when my whole team dies and give 4 kills at the beggining of the game.That happened to me so much that every time i play this game i find it hard to be calm.

I do not understand these players.Why they don't just play safe,poke and wait for perfect time to engage? Instead my team goes super-aggresive and they give 4 kills then say gg.

I just pray to God that i do not get retards on my team.

I am trying my best to climb the ladder,but i am also trying my best to not get demoted(im at 0 LP right now because last game Katarina went 1/8)

I wish you good luck at climbing and i hope you get to Silver soon.

As would Riot say: Good luck in the Fields Of Justice![slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

StephenizgodAug 11, 20161 votes

Believe me I understand that very well, I have had lanes lose two turrets before I finish my first item. Those kinds of games just happen, all you can do is play well yourself and hope it will work out in the end. If it doesn't, well there is always next game. The main thing to keep in mind is its just a game, countless times i repeated this to myself over and over again, other times i just rage out loud or to my friends if we play together lol. Every once in awhile, specially when i was in my promos for Gold, i would type negatively to teammates, and i regretted it afterwards because most of the time we lost when I did it. So i reigned in my emotions and only tried to type in a neutral manner if not positive. Then boom I was in Gold V, worked out pretty well for me so I am sure it can work for everyone.

If you are truly better than these players you will climb, thats all I thought about. If i deserve it I will get it, if not I won't get it.

good luck and just remember "its only a game".

First,when my teammate says "its only a game" at the beggining,they go like 0/11. I understand that this is a game,but what i really cannot understand those players who do not play serious and play for fun in ranked.

That is why Riot put Normal Mode.Whole team can take teleport or all take smite.... doesn't matter,its normal.But in ranked,it is a different story.

If i see a player in ranked who plays for fun and takes jungle brand or leona,i am not going to be silent.

There are players like me and you who actually want to be something and climb the ladder.To those players who play this game for fun,go play Normal Period.

good luck Stephenizgod and remember "it is a ranked mode". Hehe xD*[slayer-jinx-wink]*

StephenizgodAug 11, 20161 votes

I don't mind people playing for Fun as long as they are serious, winning is fun. People who do fun off-meta things need to stay in Normals, but if playing seriously and trying to win is fun to you, well then that is playing Ranked for fun. Personally I find winning to be absolutely amazing lol so I play to win.

I probably won't say anything in chat, but I will stop trying for sure. I invest a lot of myself into these games and if it isn't fun, that is time I will never get back that I could have spent having fun.

Good luck to you too :)

To be honest,i am not having fun playing this game.Why?

Because when i play Normal where you can play for fun,other player takes my role even when i said mid/top first.They don't care,they just say "Me mid/top or i troll"

When i am playing Ranked,i need to play serious.I actually need to play my best champions and try my best to win.Not only that but when you play with teammates who do not build recommended items.

When i am asking "why you don't build recommended why AD Teemo" They just respond with either "cause AP Teemo sucks" or "Cause i want to play AD Teemo" This is an example.

I really want to get out of Silver. Bronze/Silver tiers are elo hell. The higher your elo is,the better chance is that you will get a solid team.

P.S: From Bronze 3 to Silver 2. That is not bad,i am proud of myself :) Hopefully i will join you very soon in gold.

StephenizgodAug 11, 20161 votes

From what I have heard (I have a friend who was Plat all of last season, but is now Gold IV) all Elos are hell but Platinum is the worst.

So don't put too much hope in getting better teammates, just get to a point where you can play champions that can carry any team. I personally found that in Janna and Morgana, where I would do everything in my power to keep my carries alive no matter how bad they were. It worked most of the time tbh, but other times i would just end up with 10+ deaths.

However you gotta find what works for you, i do wish you the best and hope you can climb out of Silver, because it is a hell i never wish to return to lol.

You are right. Elo Hell exist everywhere,but the lower elo you are,bigger the chance is that you get unskilled players.

I am playing Teemo and i am very good with him.I usually win my lane and i have a good amount of farm.He is the only champion that works for me.

Although,there is another champion that i once enjoyed playing: Soraka

I really like this champion.He is fun to play and you can easily get assist.The most important part about this champion is HEALS.

Her W and R are the best. My best moment is when i saw 3v1 xin zhao was fighting and i came in the teamfight and i just heal and heal and heal him.... he got a triple kill.They could not kill xin because i was just healing him in the backround.

Everyone says: Honor Soraka etc... I really liked this champion.

I would even carry games like in a teamfight i heal every single teammate on my team and we aced the enemy team but quess what: I do not get any credit.

This is why i hate playing support.You carry your team and they do not even care about you and just flame.

P.S: Thank you for being very kind to me and my advise is to try Soraka.She is a very good champion and can carry the whole team. Morgana is great too,but try Soraka. Soraka

StephenizgodAug 13, 20161 votes

Haha i despise Soraka personally, she is the absolute worst to fight against. I use to play her all the time both before and after her Reworks, but it was pretty boring to me personally which is why I stopped. It is hard to do my best if I am bored even if that Champion is really strong. If she works for you though than by all means keep playing her.

Ranked is not about credit or who did what, it is about winning. Believe me I understand, I am a Support and Top main, but I don't play Support for the credit, i do it because i am confident I can get my ADC fed as long as they are not playing bad. If everyone flames and blames you, just mute them or ignore them. As long as you know you are doing well, that is all that matters.

DREADN0UGHTAug 11, 20161 votes

Don't want to poke at you, but after reading this it just seems like you blame your own defeats on others.

Its not like you get 4 feeders every single game. We all get bad teammates. Even in Diamond they get bad teammates. Yet some people find a way to sustain good winrates.

Its not about others, its about you. Learn to analyze what you do wrong, and learn from your mistakes. No matter what you do, you can't change another player's skill. So why waste time flaming them, or telling them what they should be doing, or what they are doing wrong. There is no point, and it would be endless from a game to another.

Alot of bronze/silver players claim to be better than their peers, and blame their lack of success on others, while high end pros in challenger, Valkrin for example, usually criticize their own play whenever something goes wrong.

Learn to have that mentality. Its worth it.

EDIT: Like, literally, go watch Valkrin for an hour, and listen to what he says. The way he looks at his mistakes is the best way to improve.

Yes,i know what are you thinking.This guy is silver and he blames other players for his defeats. He is very bad,i bet he flames a lot bla bla bla....

Believe me,i watched every single youtuber who play LoL and i am trying my best in the game. And i have done all that.I look my mistakes in the game and i accept them.

I have around 150 farm in 20 minutes,i play passive and i focus turrets instead of kills.I always try my best,i only take my main champions even when i'm not having fun playing them,i want to win so i play them anyway.

P.S: I am sorry "Faker" if im doing bad in game.It seems like Katarina who went 1/8 last game is better than me.Even when i have more cs and better score i'm still bad.I analyzed my mistakes like you said.

DREADN0UGHTAug 11, 20161 votes

Why do you react so defensive?

Just trying to give you a tip.

Its not just about having 150 farm in 20 minutes, playing passive and focusing turrets. There are lots of other aspects, and each has endless depth.

Alright,sorry i overreacted on my last reply.

I am just trying to climb the ladder and get to gold before the season ends (im currently silver 2)

I am playing solo ranked because i do not want everyone to say like "you are gold cause you play with friends bla bla bla" And it is really difficult to climb solo.

DREADN0UGHTAug 11, 20161 votes

Well, I looked you up on op.gg and it seems like you have a perfect 50% winrate as of now. 122-122.

You are a Teemo main, shame on you, but your winrate is actually really good... like 67% is very high. So I suggest trying him often.

If I had anything to say about your most played champions is :

A) Don't play Yasuo yet. He is very hard to master properly and when you start hitting higher skill levels, people who know how to play against him will destroy you. I gave up on playing him in Plat because he is too mechanical for me. I practice him in norms for now.

B) Pick a main lane to dedicate to, and a secondary to be decent in. Since the instauration of DynQ, everybody can get their main role. Meaning that the game got harder since most of the time people get to play what they are best at. So you should do the same for ranked games. I main Top and Jung secondary, and I will rarely divert from that.

C) Play what you are good at, not what is op. You are good at teemo, play teemo. Wuks, the NA arbiter, literally just posted his achievement of reaching Diamond using AP teemo. So you definitely can reach Gold with Teemo.

More so, if you are passionate about climbing, I strongly suggest you stick to playing ranked only. People in ranked games try much harder, and switching to norms too often softens your senses, makes you play with less care, so whenever you jump into ranked again, it usually takes a couple of games until you get back into the right mind set.

Thank you for the advise i really appreciate it :)

A) I do not play Yasuo anymore.At least not in ranked.I am not really bad with him but i am not really good either.

B)I always pick my main lanes.I take ranked mode very seriously.I am trying my best to keep myself calm and cool when i am playing ranked but then it all changes when i start a game then someone says troll/feed/afk.... My main lanes are Top (Teemo of course :) and jungle (amumu/warwick...) also.

C)I always play my main champions (Teemo) because i play to win,not to have fun.What i love about Teemo is he doesn't really need kills.He can easily farm and get strong mid/late game.

D)This is what i hate the most.It would be like this:

"BoeBu picks Teemo" TeemoHater:Please don't pick Teemo BoeBu:Don't worry i won't troll/feed "TeemoHater bans Teemo" BoeBu: Wtf? TeemoHater:i don't want Teemo in my team We lose the game later or we would win but i would have a bad score.

P.S: Thanks again for the tips that you wrote to me :) But know that i am not ashamed for playing Teemo.I am playing to win. GOOD LUCK IN THE FIELDS OF JUSTICE ! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Never understood how "attitude" helps people climb. I got diamond not too long ago and I still think my team mates are trash and useless. Maybe it's just different for other people. The only thing I find important when climbing is just practicing mechanics

StephenizgodAug 11, 20161 votes

Some people let their emotions run their thoughts, if you are too busy focusing on what your teammates are doing, you are not focusing enough time on yourself. Some people get so sad or angry that they can't play to their fullest. For me, i focused so much on how bad my teammates were doing, I was never able to see my own mistakes. Once I started looking at myself, I was able to change things that were not helping us win. I am still working on things and learning how to fix my mistakes and not worry about my teammates mistakes.

My teammates doing so badly we lose the game still upsets me greatly, but it no longer gets me so down I can't play anymore. I have learned to let it go or to stop playing if its that bad. This is the main reason I started climbing so fast, that and fixing my mistakes.

Good job, fam.

I was stuck at Gold 5 for all of season 5's 2nd half, from Summer split to worlds.. It was so stressful but I sticked around long enough to earn end of season rewards.

StephenizgodAug 11, 20161 votes

Thank you :D

I hit a milestone, I don't particularly care if i climb anymore this season as long as i get rewards. However next season I will for sure be shooting for Plat, that is if i don't get to it this season XD

DREADN0UGHTAug 11, 20161 votes

You could sit at gold 5 for the season since decay only applies to Plat+ now. But if you wanna save yourself some trouble for next season, get as far away as possible from Bronze/Silver. Or else you will have to climb through it again after Season 7 placements.

StephenizgodAug 11, 20161 votes

Yea I would rather not get placed back into Silver 3 haha, hopefully next time season I can get placed into Gold. So I think I will take your advice and try to climb still.

DREADN0UGHTAug 11, 20161 votes

Well, if you are say, Gold 2 material, but stick to Gold 5 and don't rank for the season, you would still climb very fast next season.

I finished season 5 as Gold 5 0LP, this season I got placed in Bronze 1 after a terribad placement. It took me literally less than 2 weeks, or about 80 games to reach Gold again. But leaving Gold 5 was harder than I had anticipated. That took me a while. But once I found my niche, I sky rocketed to Gold 1, where I got stuck again for a while. Took me 4 plat promos to get into plat. I even lost plat from constant losing 2 days ago, but then got my shit together, won 5 games in a row, and now I'm back in plat, on a 7 win streak, my MMR restored... This season is straining my nerves lol. I want that fucking plat border fam.

But seriously, my goal this season is simply Plat 3. I just want mid plat by the end. So that next season I get High silver at worst after placements. Diamond in season 7 is probably what I'm going for.

Congratz, good luck on your climb to Gold :)

Thanks for the encouragement but that might take a long time. Silver is a fucktonne harder to carry than Bronze. I'm not even sure I can carry games in Silver like I did to get out of Bronze. I feel like a total noob again lol.

StephenizgodAug 13, 20161 votes

Well I made it out and I was once Bronze, so you can too. You don't have to carry every game, sometimes you can help others carry. Also it is easy to place all the blame on teammates, but you need to always be looking at yourself as you are the only person you can improve. You can't win every game, just don't be the cause of the loss, this is kind of how I started to think when I began climbing. I only wavered twice when I failed my promos twice lol, once due to a feeder who was trolling me because he was "gate-keeping" and the other because the enemy team DDoS attacked us and our whole team disconnected for 30 seconds while they killed us and took our base. So believe me I know the struggle haha, but its in those situations that you need to remain calm and I didn't, because of that I struggled to get back into my promos, but in the end i won.

Ive only played for 3 months and am Silver III xd

StephenizgodAug 11, 20161 votes

Nice! but word of advice, your Promos will most likely tilt you lol. I have played since Season 3 and each time I made it to Silver 1 but could never pass my promos. I would win 2 then lose 3, it would put me around 60-70 LP I would win 3-4 games then lose 3, and repeat this cycle over and over again which caused me to fail my promos every time. Then I would just drop like a rock to Silver 3 or 4. This season I was finally able to win 3 games in my promos but it took 3 seasons lol.
