diamond tip for low elo players. PLAY EASY CHAMPIONS. cant remember how many times im smurfing and get something like a lee sin or nidalee player that have either 0 wins or a negative/even win rate on these champs and are just 100% useless and dont know how to play the champ in the first place. You get full ap nidalee players with first item death cap that will spear a garen and go in on it in a team fight to instantly die. If you want to rank up just stop. Id rather have point and click rammus that is guaranteed to actually do something instead of having a skillful champion where it just hits you instead of the enemy team.

This is actually a great tip. People get so prideful about playing the "simple" champions but if you had the skills to play the complex champions you wouldn't be low elo in the first place.

You mentioned lee sin and nidalee but I think a lot of low elo players don't know which champions to avoid. If you could make a list of those champs I think it would really help some people.

since you are the first smart not ignorant person that blindly disagrees i will link you a youtube channel with a former lcs coach that does coaching on other players and watching these vids will help! just watch a verbal lesson with a rank close to yours and follow the advice he will give plenty of champions for each role https://www.youtube.com/user/lastshadow9

but ill give some for fun. Annie, kayle, malphite, garen,fizz, are a few good ones to play

as a list of champions not to play basically anything with alot of skillshots or that requires you to hit them, champions that dont need deep understanding, champions that dont have super punishing early games/champs that need to all in and are less forgiving (jax).

by the way the whole "if you have enough skill to play the hard champions you wouldnt be low elo in the first place" is 100% true.

I have every right to disagree, as back when I played ranked a few years ago, I was Gold2. I'm bronze NOW simply because I just havn't played ranked at all this season. My statement still stands, rank doesn't really mean sh't.

200 mmr. Man thats so far LOL. not. Rank doesn't mean much because you are not smart enough to understand. If you did you would be the diamond player making advice posts instead of the bronze player clicking on them.

Apparently you have no reading ability, I've already said several times I havn't played ranked this season. Of course I'm not a higher rank this time around. Keep being ignorant and toxic, you're only hurting yourself.

Actually, ranking means quite a bit. The level of understanding you have of the game is most easily expressed as a function of your ranking. Naturally those who understand the game better progress more quickly and further along the ladder than those who lack a complex and detailed understanding of the game. In pretty much every instance one could think of, be it balance, mechanics, strategies, tactics, builds, game theory, the high level players will be far superior to average level players. That's why they have achieved a high ranking. We aren't perfect in high level play by any means, hell a ton of pros aren't actually all that great. But our ability to play the game is a function of our understanding of it and this makes us far more qualified to offer advice or suggestions. As with all human beings we will be wrong about stuff from time to time but that tends to be the exception, not the rule.

Yeah I've watched just about every one of LS's videos. He can be a bit blunt and rude sometimes but he knows his shit lol.

Sorry, but I've played with some gold and diamond players and frankly rank doesn't mean sh't. I've had games that I played better than gold and yet I'm a simple bronzy.

You can give advice but trying to say your advice has more legitimacy just because of your rank, is very ignorant.

I also took this advice from an ex lcs coach who does solo que coaching but im sure a bronze player knows more than him! Rank doesnt matter when you are playing normals nobody gives a shit in normals. If you are bronze you have to be extremely bad at the game. If you were dropped even into gold games and got to start out fresh you would drop.

The fact that you dont think that playing something easier gives you better odds than playing something harder pretty much explains why you are bronze in the first place. Terrible thinking.

I'm bronze because I havnt jumped back into ranked ever since the new season. That doesn't make be "bad". Go be toxic somewhere else kid. Additionally I never said anything about what types of champs I play so please continue to put words in my mouth like the ignorant child you are making yourself out to be.

xJLGxDec 21, 20154 votes

i dont care what excuse you use if you were good you wouldnt be even close to bronze to start with. If you want to see ignorant child look at what you type. You are talking about rank this whole time while im talking about playing easy champions. I never said im better because im diamond its a diamond tip. I would want a tip from the top 1% of players when I was a noob. Please for your sake and mine get educated not many people have time to deal with ignorant people. oh and "go be toxic somewhere else kid" 1 this is my post 2 you came in being toxic and harassing. Get a grip.

Again, I'm only bronze simply because I havn't played ranked this season, and it puts you in bronze by default as a result. keep being ignorant. I love it.

You cant seem to read either, said last time I played ranked was years ago, under a different rank system.

It is helpful in a sense but they're just going to play that champ anyway. It's the only way they will get better is to lose a few times.

IDK Why people dowmvoted this thread, it's actually a good tip, not everyone have that insect mechanics. Stop downvotes OP just because you can't handle the truth. http://www.auplod.com/u/uopadl6d63e.png

Don't really want to assume too much seeing as the account I post on is extremely misleading if you look it up, but your op.gg says plat 4 mate...

I mean I'm D1, and I post on this. So its totally possible you also don't post from your primary account, but I've been pretty unique for years and years for always posting on this account so I kind of doubt that's the case.

In any case, I think the advice you're giving in this thread is very misleading. Low level players should play a champion they feel comfortable with whose play style feels natural and like an extension of their personality. It really doesn't matter what champ you pick or what the difficulty of the champion is, only that its played extensively (even exclusively, that's fine, one tricking has been for 4 straight seasons the most successful method of climbing the ladder) so that the game play pattern becomes so familiar as to become reflex, allowing low level players to improve at the one thing 99% of all league players in rank lack: understanding of the game at a strategic level. Honestly, mechanical ability really isn't very important to climb the ladder, understanding the game, having good in game sense and awareness, strong organization and communication skill, knowing what points in the game you and your team have the advantage and why, where to be when and what to do when you get there and all these other strategic elements are vastly more important and you really just can't learn them if you are constantly learning a champion. It doesn't matter if you play a difficult to play champ like Azir or Zed or Eve or if you play a relatively simple champion like Amumu or Annie. What matters is whether you know what to DO with the champion at all points in the game and whether or not you can coordinate a gameplan with your teammates.

In case you wanna look stuff up: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Likeamaws

Hell even my one trick smurf is higher ranked than you in a role I only decided to start playing this season: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=ev3carriesu

Sure easier champs to play are easier to play. But the game is about mastering the game if you are looking to climb and the best way to do that is to pick something and stick with it for a long period of time until you start to understand what is actually important to win games. I feel like this is much better advice to give to players. I know the students I took on this season progressed rapidly from low silver to diamond using this advice despite the fact both played difficult champions, Zeretov is a Lulu main and Mr. Trianglez plays Ahri.
