-Don't assume buying armor or magic resist will be the end all. It is only valuable if you have the HP to sustain the reduced damage, otherwise 600dmg may as well be 1,000,000dmg.

-Find out who your powerhouse is and stay close to them & keep them fed.

-If you are behind, don't be generous giving carries the kills as assist gold is better than not getting the game changing score.

-Don't surrender until you've had at least 2 good team-fights later in the game

Heimerdinger Rengar MasterYi Ekko Darius Blitzcrank These champions have the ability to turn the game around in your favor or you will continue to snowball the enemy team. Fiora Katarina Leblanc Zed Vayne are easy to control even if they are carrying the enemy team, maybe op later game but survival is slim to done.

The situation champions that provide "ice cream"(aka luck) in your favor are Olaf Yasuo Ziggs Vladimir Volibear Zilean Nidalee you might wanna banned these more often than not.

Dodge champion select (idc even in ranked) if you see these championsAatrox Leona Swain Taric Teemo TwistedFate Evelynn if they are on your team

"Don't surrender until you've had at least 2 good team-fights later in the game"

"but we can still win" score is 1000 to 1 "but we CAN still win guiz" I wish people could figure out when is the time to surrender instead of "hurr durr never surrender xDDD"

I primarily picked siege and teamfight champions (mainly Ziggs mid and Varus ADC). Many of my (non-stomp) games in Silver consisted of most people dancing around objectives after a certain point, so it worked out pretty well.

That or I would pick Nasus and hit 400 stacks by 20 minutes because my opponents don't actually know how to handle him in lane or kite him in teamfights. This was when Irelia and Tryndamere were considered OP and were commonly first-picked, so my lane was pretty much won by default.


Also, try and control vision. Trinkets are extremely cheap for what they offer and it isn't going to hurt you to buy a ward here or there for safety, picks, and objective control.

  1. Don't chase or dive into 1v? just to kill someone. Remeber by chasing the other team is coming to save the person and you could get caught. On that note, its easy to do baron and push towers if its a 4v5. So staying alive is more important than getting the kill. And on that note, after lane phase group up.

  2. Don't always by the same items for every game. Learn to counter pick items. If the othter team has Loads of CC, get a QSS. If they have 4 AD rush armor then build your damage items.

  3. The most common reason people lose in lower elos is because players never capatilzed on ther opponents mistakes. They B after getting kills to buy stuff, rather than pushing towers. They go to farm wolves over getting the opponets buffs. They don't do dragon or baron at the right times.

  4. Never should you do dragon without your junglers smite. You are essentially allowing the other team to autoattack and risk lossing it.

  5. Never rush baron when the other team is still up and trying to fight you. Stop doing baron and fight the other team.

  6. Don't forget to use your items. Upgrade your vision.

Any champion is good, but if you want easy to climb with id usually go for (if ap) Annie Janna Heimerdinger Here are a few tricks/goals I've learned -if your lane is pushed and they froze it, take a jungle camp -ward as much as possible, if you have extra gold buy a ward, pot, or trinket upgrade Yellow for just warding a lot in general and pink for if there are stealth champions -if you are mid and mobile, roam a lot but not so much that you fall behind (example:Ahri) -ping a LOT, communication is key! -if you are ahri or a champion that has this type of spell, if you e/q/w then flash, there is no cast time and extends the range OF THE SPELL ITSELF (not permenantly) -don't rage and never surrender -don't forget item 2041 is sometimes good if not better -do not chase an enemy if you have no vision
