How to have an easier life in bronze

Hey guys,

A lot of league players including I are in bronze and we all want to get out. I've been stuck in bronze for a long time and trust me, it sucks. Even though like I said I am still in bronze I want to share how you can have an easier life trying to rank up.

INB4 THIS IS NOT A GUIDE TO TELL YOU HOW TO GET TO SILVER

Anyways, first off, you will have noob teammates. There will always be teammates that clearly do not have a higher skill level than you. However, as much as you feel the need to rage or flame at them, please don't. Most of the time they will flame back at you and soon a stupid argument will spur up, causing possible afk's and many reports. I was in a game where a fed hard (1/5 or something in 12 minutes) in early game, but we still came back to win in the late game.

Speaking of late game, you might have noticed that bronze games tend to take longer than higher-elo games. This is majorly because people in bronze focus more on kills than objectives, which is not beneficial. Dragon and baron buffs are crazy good. A 5th dragon buff or baron buff could close out a game very easily. Please focus objectives over kills.

Since many bronze games extend until 40-50 minutes, I like to take late game champs such as , , , and . Late game death timers are very long, so a couple kills with the help of baron buff would definitely win the game.

Pick and Ban phase...you don't have to counterpick. Don't force yourself to pick a to counter the enemy . There are certain counters in the game that may make your laning phase easier against another champion, but if your skill level and positioning is good enough, you may, on the contrary, beat your opponent. I've picked a into a before and I destroyed the lane. Just remember to play a champ you're good at. Don't end up picking your worst champ just to counter a .

Also, take advantage of your enemy grouping. Say you're a or a and your team is perfectly fine with 4 v 5ing the enemy team at your mid tower. Great! Splitpush top or bot and create lane pressure so soon the enemy team has to back off to fend off the minion waves. Or, they could send two of their people down bot to kill you, which is good because then your team will now win a 4 v 3 teamfight.

If you feed, play safe. This is a huge problem in lower elos. Even I make the mistake sometimes. Let's say you just 1 v 1d a as and you lost the fight. Don't go so deep into lane. Instead play safe at your turret or something so the only way he can get another kill is to either turret dive you or call for a gank, in which your team's jungler can now counterjungle or set up a gank elsewhere on the map.

Lastly, if you're playing a jungler, make sure you can get objective control. Secure drag early. This is why I like to play champs that have the ability to solo drag lvl 3 such as or , and sometimes .

Well, have fun! I hope you enjoyed this article.
