I'm making an instructional website to assist players in league (think of it like mobafire but with more tips.) I'd like to ask some players and (HOPEFULLY!!!) a riot employee about their thoughts on the game and what a tip is for their success/ why they are failing (not that you are but if you're declining in ranks then tell us why :3 )
thanks!

Here's a tip
And a spear behind it
dont try to finish your promos while on tilt. i just did this and won my 1st 2 lost 3rd got ont ilt and said i got this in 2 games and lost both for 2/5 on gold promos =( salty AF
and ward and upgrade trinkets.
Make small goals. Don't aim to be a "pro player." Aim to get more than 100 CS in 18 minutes, then 17 minutes, then 16 minutes, etc. Aim to die less than 6 times for five games in a row, then less than 5 times, then less than 4 times. Aim to buy and place at least 3 wards, then at least 4 wards, then at least 5 wards. Aim to get to Bronze 4, then Bronze 3, then Bronze 2.
The game isn't worth getting upset over. The feeders, the trolls, the chat restricts, the shit games...none of it is important. Just take it as it is.
play passively dont spend RP on champs
whats the URL of the website?
Wards are important.
Use your trinkets
Upgrade your trinkets
Learn what your champion's strengths and weaknesses are - most importantly when they can hit power spikes and how to take advantage of that.
If you know yourself, and you know your enemy, you cannot lose. If you know both and you're superior, you contest and win. If you know both and are inferior, you avoid contesting.
A side tip - learn why certain runes and masteries work best on certain champions and situations, adjust accordingly. Buy a few more rune pages and fill them out before you buy multiples of Champions that you'll play once or twice then abandon.
have fun
I've got two if you don't mind. These haven't been mentioned yet.
Learn how to freeze a lane and manipulate minion waves. Blindly auto attacking and pushing a wave is more detrimental to you winning lane than you know. It also puts you in a dangerous situation of an easy gank for the enemy jungler and a possible death or double kill that can easily be avoided.
Learn to have strong map awareness. If you're going to split push, you need to pay attention to your map to know when the right times are to push without the risk of being ganked by the whole team and when there is the potential for a team fight especially, make sure you don't engage or fight unless you have the strategical advantage. Usually this means to not engage in the fight without your whole team being present.
upgrade trinkets as soon as possible, and always be aware that there should be 5 pinks on the map at a time
CS is far more important then it seems
stop dying so much
Use pings. Super easy and it helps the team coordinate
If your ahead, help others get ahead. If your behind roam and get assists/kills to get back. Sometimes losing a tower is better than losing lane complacent and then losing a tower.
Learn all the roles before starting ranked Buy wards even if you aren't the support Never be rude to teammates, that will only make them play worse
If you go for a gank in the bot lane, it's okay to ignore the adc and kill the support if the support is in a more vulnerable position.
Also, learn when to stop chasing and take objectives. Having a ton of kills means nothing if the other team outscales you and you can't finish the game.
A kill for a kill is not worth it. If you push them back and you're going to live, back off and farm.
Play every champion at least once over the course of however many free rotations in normals. I know people are like, just main a couple champs and call it a day don't worry about anything else, but having that single game on every champion will A: let you figure out what you truly want to main and B: give you some general knowledge on how to fight with and against them.
I understand every champion at a basic level and can probably tell you what any given spell does on any given champion because i've played every single champion and because of this i know what to expect from most champions.
Also, game knowledge =/= proficiency. Knowing is half the battle, the next step is applying what you know
Map awareness saves lives.
No chasing 
Objectives win you the game in League Of Legends.
If you're looking for kills, I strongly suggest the countless typical run-of the mill FPS games out there.
Know how to support, or at least know two-three roles. If you main something popular, particularly mid, you're not always going to get it (outside of Team Builder) so it's wise to have a back-up plan instead of a guaranteed loss due to ineptitude.
Don't build champions the same way every game and exactly to how guides say to, there are more than 6 items in the game, use them.
How to win in 3 easy steps
Mute everyone and play a different game to have fun.
tip I wish I would have gotten - do not play this game. uninstall it and run away before it is too late. it is not worth it.
Play more than you type. Seriously.
git gud.
XiaoWeiXiao.
It's not 'one tip' but it's the best competitive gaming advice I can give lol
Never trust a 
main
Pro tip - Remove all the enemies hit points and they die. Unless, of course, they are Aatrox, Anivia, Karthus, Sion, Yorrick, or Zac. Or anyone with Mord's or Zilean's ult. Or people with GA.
Do you want to climb Elo? Fucking play 
Upgrade yellow ward. Always. No exceptions.
If you play 
, 
, or anyone else with ward interactions and do not upgrade it you are severely lowering your potential.
In ANY other situation you will also become nearly unkillable with proper warding because the enemy can never gank you.
Warding is the one most important thing in League.
Alternate tip: Always google your lane opponents' champions before the game is done loading immediately once you see what they have. Learn their abilities on the wiki or Champ Select [You champ vs their champ] ASAP. If you are really unsure about how to fight someone or you think they are a "counter", wait for them to make the first move and the mistake and always capitalize on their mistakes. i.e 
premature Windwall, 
premature spin, 
wasted shield, AND ANY TIME AN ENEMY FOLLOWS YOU INTO A SWARM OF YOUR OWN MINIONS. The little guys really hurt.
Dont learn a role (unless its jungle) Learn the type of skills and abilities you play best with. Are you better with skill shots or ranged point and click? Do you do better at the center of a fight? or kiting around the edges avoiding damage. Do you make good judgement calls or are you good at following your team mates? Are you more focused on picks? or more of a team fighter? All of these are more important factors to recognize then a certain lane you like to play.
TL:DR play to your actual strengths not what you think you are strong at
Be positive.
Have Fun.
Ward.
MUNDO GO WHERE HE PLEASES
After losing a ranked game, play a cool down game on normal so you don't stress as much
Supports arent your slaves. Neither is your jungler. Spend the five seconds to kill 3 more minions and buy a ward (or use the free one) so you don't complain about your support not warding because they can only carry 5 wards at a time earlygame.
Tip: Know that it's nice having a main but explore other options as often as possible you may find a new main, so don't be biased about picking champs, go to Solo Que and experiment.
Try to determine your unique playstyle; not everyone is the best Marksman or Assassin
Don't spend money on runes, glyphs or quintessenes util your around lvl 30 and know how the game works and the champ that you like best works. Then you can pick stuff based on your play style
By the way I'm a friend of Shamont's. You may not remember, but he was going through his old messages and found that he had promised you an animation. He made it but forgot to send you the link, so here I am with that link. He asked me to send it to you for him because he got banned (fell for a fake RP scam, so he's banned from the boards). From now on anything Shamont wants to say here, I convey it for him.
