Need A Team: NOW

Cobra the Snake·4/1/2016, 7:46:37 AM·1 votes·402 views

So by nature I'm a very competitive person. I used to play sports all the time, but now I can't play any because I have had a total of 13 concussions. So the only thing I have to be competitive in that I'm even relatively good at is League.

I've been trying to climb for a couple of months now, but every match I get is ending up in a loss. Is it because I'm solo queueing? Is it because some god just really wants me to be a failure at everything I do?

Someone please help me. I just want to be silver at least, but all of these toxic people make my matches end in losses.

It looks like you need to improve on your CSing. In your most recent victory you only have 100 farm in 30 minutes. Most people have 200 by that point. A good way to improve your creep score is to keep an eye out on what lanes are pushing towards your base and how big the minion waves are and pushing those waves. Somebody has to do it or the enemy will slowly drown your team in minion waves until they push to your nexus. Most of the time teams focus on team fighting and ignore big minion waves pushing a tower down. This is a lot of gold being lost to a tower and the enemy can potentially gain gold by destroying the tower.

TL:DR Try to get 6 CS a minute, more if the game lasts more than 30 minutes. The later the game goes the more CS you should be getting as you are able to go to the other lanes and take the farm if you see the opportunity.

I'd be happy to play a game with you sometime to show you how to do what I'm suggesting. I believe it is a really important tactic, even in the higher levels up play and I try to abuse it as much as I can.

The reason I brought up your last victory is because you usually have the advantage in those games and are able to CS a little easier. I don't really look at CS in games that you lost because I knew there are other factors at play. I usually look towards builds or champion select when it comes to defeats. Having good CS doesnt mean much when you're building MR against an all physical team (not saying you do, just an example), this is why I look at builds. Champion select is also a big factor in most defeats because you could always pick a champion that fits your team better or counters the enemy's strategy, or in the ideal situation, both.
