Pfft, why would I buy wards when they don't do damage?

By playing a support that has good late game scaling.

Depends who you are playing with. Are you an aggressive support? In many cases, it is better to harass your laning opponents in the trading stance than it is to constantly be going for the kills. When your up by 30cs and you get the Dragon while your opponents are protecting their tower, its a great feeling.

Also, while warding is NOT just the supports role, you should be thinking of ways to ward prophetically for potential ganks. Some junglers are harder to anticipate, while others are easy. Even more advanced, its perfectly sensible to lay a pink ward in your own jungle to identify choke points in the entry to the jungle. Remember, some ganks are from behind, so unless your opponents are champs that can hop walls, they will have to go through a set amount of paths to disrupt the jungle/gank mid/or your lane.

Lastly, there is no reason that you cannot help other lanes, heck, even gank mid when your level six. Not only will it not be typically expected, but you can further support the trading stance bot lane has, and effectively control one half of the map.

You can't tell your team these things. You have to remember your team sucks and so do you. You have to carry your team. AND NO, I DO NOT MEAN GO ALL IN AND FEED YOURSELF TO THE BRIM KSING EVERYONE BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU CAN CARRY!!!! (MasterYi) you have to give them kills and feed your team as a whole. Try playing jungle and helping your team get kills, I am starting to climb out of bronze myself, I started playing Amumu and I hold my lanes hand as I stun, shred, and tank doing everything I can to give my team the kill. If that works for you move to support or top and do the same if you do not like the jungle feel and would rather a lane. If you want to play mid or adc you gatta stay alive and keep your teammates alive by hurting the enemies. I like to think of adc's and mid's as kings and queens that top, jungle, and support are required to protect. Keep them alive and they will win the game for you (of course I say this lightly because it is still very important to win as a team and not be a hero no matter what people say.) Why does getting fed to the brim not work? because as soon as you do, you are a target and every person on the other team will do everything they can to cc or 1 shot you. What happens when you die? your teammates have no items because they have no gold because you took it all and they will lose the rest of the team fight. I hope this helps all bronzies climb out, because it has certainly helped me.

That's rude of you.

nah thats true of them

Jhaerik9 votes

Not entirely true. Ran into a lot of decent bronze players who have crap luck. Hard to win game when you get 50% or more 4v5 or troll games per day.

It's like you see into my soul.

ChrisFenix1 votes

Funny, didn't we all start bronze, or were you automatically promoted because you were "not an idiot"? lol

Invalid and rude comment of the day. (yeah I know it was a day ago)

Sakaru2 votes

... The fact that you think everybody starts in Bronze, says a lot about your lack of knowledge about this game.

Dude not even. The only way to get out of bronze is to wait until the next season...

dude I went as low as bronze 3 now I'm silver 2 going to gold. Only stopped cuz my mouse right click is busted from the climb

Started Bronze 5 Finished Silver 5 through the troll and the flame. Bronze is a place to learn important lessons, then escape. Not a punishment.

the way i got out of bronze is i played a ton of games with multiple champions, learned how they are played and how they work. then if you are up against them you have champion knowledge and can easily outplay in lane. After thats its typically gg

I got out of bronze by duoing with my bronze buddy. He's now plat and i'm currently in g1. Find a reliable duo and make sure you guys are communicating, commit to playing ranked games and help each other stay positive.

Jhaerik1 votes

Been everywhere from Silver 1 to Bronze 5 this season. And no.. bronze is just a lottery. Only way out is to Duo queue with a silver or up so you get matched with non-trolls.

Josepheous2 votes

if you can find someone to duo queue with and you both play passive, playing to not lose, there is a 5 to 3 chance that someone on the enemy team will lose the game for their team and you will win. (Duo Queue is what got me out of bronze and silver 5)

Logged in just to upvote cause this is what is making my climb out of elo hell possible this right here and also taking the time to evaluate why I got out played in situations. makes it hard at 1st to realize I made bad choices but I can learn from them instead of holding others accountable. hope it helps other Players like it has myself...

I totally agree! To get out of Bronze, you don't need to be the reason your team wins. You just need to not be the reason your team loses.

There is a 5 to 4 chance that someone on the enemy team will lose the game for their team as long as you do not lose it for your team.

This will allow you to win 5/9 games just by not losing.

"you just need to not be the reason your team loses" wise words my friend. I will be using that thank you very much

Phroxzon's videos have helped me to improve significantly as a player since I discovered them last summer. I am so happy to see this getting the attention and spotlight it deserves. This is literally my first time posting anywhere on here, and it's because I want Phroxzon to know that his work is seriously appreciated.

My best play: 1v5 yasuo quadrakill on half health I was pretty fed but it was still 1v5 and their jungle vi got away on a cheeky 100 health and taunted me under fountain so i suicided and died :( 1 like = 1 prayer for all would be pentakills Praise Nightblue3, gg

Eyvind the Wolf5 votes

My best play: 3 of my team mates died just outside of dragon, and 1 team mate was still alive, running for their life up river as all 5 of the enemy were chasing. I was Nunu and had just got back from base. I hid in the river bush, started channeling my ult as my team mate baited them, and erased all 5 opponents at once for the penta. Oh, and my team mate survived.

Vulium1 votes

It was a decent vid, but It didn't explain much, you basically used terms that you knew already, and positions that you talked about, I wasn't sure about what was happening on the screen, like freezing, or that thing where you're less gankable.. I am just not understanding.

Lelefski10 votes

That's why he mentions previous episodes which explain those positions and terms that were mentioned.... Did you even pay attention

AzzBlaster20003 votes

i didnt even watch early video's of his and i understood it very well

Vulium2 votes

Yes I did pay attention, Did you? I only hear him mention trading as a term we shouldn't know, and that we should refer to another video. No other term however was specific the definition, or where to find the definition. Also like any real tutorial video, there should have been drawings on the screen for references of what the f*ck he was talking about. He didn't mention anything about Freezing, or the location of what he was talking about whenever he was talking about positioning himself to be less gankable... I'm an extremely fast learner, and all I got from this was some vague understanding of how important it is to CS snd All in when I am ahead, but unlike he said, I don't know the mistakes that people make that give me an advantage, other than used a flash.

Piip4 votes

It's all intuitive. Trading = give and take. You give damage and take damage. He says to do this when an opponent is going for a last hit because they are not focused on you, so you do more damage. Give more, take less. "Freezing a lane" = what does something do when it's frozen? It can't move. Ergo, keep the lane from moving. Do this before the wave reaches the tower so that the tower doesn't destroy the whole wave and you are forced to push. "Be less gankable" = towers keep you safe. Ganks are unsafe. Less gankable = closer to your tower. Freezing a lane and being less gankable are related, you don't want to accidentally push into the middle of the lane where a high-lockdown jungler can get the better of you. Having the lane closer to your own tower inversely makes your opponent more gankable because they are further from their own tower. I hope this helps!!
