Hi, my name is phish098. I am a bronze 3 player and am looking for a coach. I aspire to climb to at least high silver/ low gold before the end of the season. I am willing to learn and practice a lot, how ever i have no money to pay professional coaches. Please help me.

It'll be tough to get someone who's got the time and willing to carry you through Bronze just because they're a nice guy. Remember everyone's trying to raise their own elo. With that said, my advice to you is to pick a role (mid/top/adc/jungle, don't support) that you will specialize in and only try to play. For me it's mid, and I usually beat my lane because I've only ever tried to play that lane and have practiced a ton and now I'm up to gold 2. So pick your role, then pick your favorite champion for that role (doesn't have to be the meta), for me it's Anivia mid, because well she's op in my mind (but I originally learned mid with Swain). Once you've determined your role and favorite champ, look up youtube videos of high tier players playing your champ and study them. For me, Scarra taught me a ton when I was first learning mid, because he explained all of his decision making while in game. After that, practice, practice, practice that champ until you know them inside and out. Once you've ~mastered a champ, and have been winning you lane consistently, you're ready to raise your elo. But you're in elo hell, even if you get good, you can always just get a bad team and lose games even if you win your lane. To overcome this, you'll want to find a duo queue friend to play with and raise your skills with. For me it was my brother who specialized in playing jungle champs. So we would play together and we would coordinate ganks to help me snowball my lane and carry the the team to victory. We've both made it to gold 2 and we both think we can make it to Platinum very soon. So if this is your goal, you'll have to put in the time, and find some friends that will grow with you and keep you motivated along the way.

Good luck!

Name the champ you want to learn. The role you want. Name your favorite champ. Name the role you want to learn. I'll tell you anything I can think of from rune page mastery page to mechanics or build path/champs its good against/bad against and how easy a lane phase should be in most cases/how the lane phase plays out for your champion.

I coach and my prices are very very low considering I'm diamond.

Custom game training 1v1 = $10 Per Hour

Replay Review = $7.50 per replay(You provide a replay and we spend roughly 30 minutes slowing down team fights/Laning and talking to you about what you can improve on, or do different both on a meta and micro scale.)

Gameplay Breakdown Video = $20 (You provide two replays, which I edited down to make a high quality / frame rate youtube video with commentary and graphics. Since it is on youtube you can watch it as many times as you wish.

Add me in game if you are interested.

I can also stream the Custom 1v1 and Replay Review if you wish.
