I'll be frank. I suck. I'm not as good as I want to be, and am looking for a coach to help me improve. If you're interested lemme know I guess. Thanks all the same.

Yo wait who the fuck said that you're screwed if you're bronze fek that guy lol. I Literally started bronze and have climbed one tier each season( I was so fucking close to skipping two last year fml ) op.gg me and now I'm a promos away from diamond. I literally started pc gaming from League, before then I was a console gamer but my friends in middle school said to play this game because I look like fiddlesticks, so peer pressure happened and i started playing and let me tell you holy shit it was hard in the beginning. I still was a chicken pecking typer when i started and it was a pain in the ass to figure out how to use everything at once. Eventually though like everyone else I got used to the game and finally started playing ranked, and then i got placed in bronze lol (I unfortunately don't remember what division i was or if i climbed at all back then ). My game knowledge was shit and my lane mechanics were apparently pretty shit too because "natural game mechanics should at least get you to high silver/gold if you actually want to do well. " Yeah well fuck that logic lol, if you seriously put effort into it you can achieve w/e rank you're aiming for, all it takes is patience and time

Honestly for me, watching streams helped a lot. If you watch people play the right way for long enough, it eventually starts to rub off on you.

Tip: learn the stats. In depth. Theorize item combinations and do lots of math. Most of this games item recommendations and community picks is cookie cutter and not optimal in every situation. I'm still learning them and trying new things, I really like Tiamat with Liandries atm, and I can promise that's recommended on no one. Rushing Spirit Visage against Kassadin as Katarina might not always jump out at you as an option right away, but after trying it for the first time my last game I now have more feeling for what my options actually are. It stacks nice with gunblade.

I dont quite understand the motivation, if you wanna drop the game then whats the significance of gold 5? Lol. As for learning the stats in depth, I hope you're overstating meaning having a basic understanding of them. Really all it takes to get out of bronze is to have a very basic understanding of the game and minimize your derpy decisions. If you are stuck in bronze and you think you're never making derpy decisions in your games start recording, you'll see them. Infact to the opposite of what Somekat said, I think you should be going cookie cutter pretty much every time in bronze. But focus on champs that dont use alot of versatility in their builds. Dont use activate items, dont play champs with skillshots, dont make derpy decisions and boom, mid silver minimum.

Honestly, I dunno myself. At first I wanted to hit plat or whatever, mainly to prove wrong the people who said I couldn't (I'm petty like that) but as time went on, I grew to be less enthused by this game. But I still wanna say I hit a rank i was comfortable with before I quit just to say I did. Though even now, I'm thinkin maybe just drop that and move on. Its not even fun to think about anymore honestly.

Well it doesnt look like you play alot from your history. Usually even gold players played alot of games around the time they climbed in elo. If you're only occasionally playing, and when you play you worry more about rank than just enjoyin the game then I'd say games prob not for you. League of legends isnt actually a game where you play like a gold player you get to gold despite what people may say. Its a game where you play like a platinum player you get to gold, then you grind till you get lucky to actually get to plat lol. It takes awhile.

Guess you got me there. Maybe I'll take some time off, see how I feel later down the line and decide if I genuinely wanna try with this game or not.

K, thank you for the very vague advice. I'd never thought to "git gud" before. Maybe i should ask for advice on how

I mean, i could help you, but your bronze 5, not to be mean but chances are your hopeless, you should just stop playing ranked or just play for fun, natural game ability accounts for most of your skill, you can improve decision making, itemization, and lane/wave control, but natural game mechanics should at least get you to high silver/gold if you actually want to do well.

Sucks to hear, but probably true. Still, I guess I figured I'd try this and if this failed, just give up.

Yikes, very harsh. But not entirely inaccurate lol. But I guess that would depend on goals. If you just wanna get outa bronze thats entirely doable. Would mostly just pick a role/champ with easy to perform micros, and watch someone high elo play it or do an explanation on things to focus on for the macro, and you can easily get to high silver without needing to learn good mechanics, and having just a basic idea of what you need to do to meet win conditions.

Sometimes harsh is needed. As for goals, honesty it was to hit low gold (like just gold v) and then just drop the game altogether.

You could Maybe hit Gold 5, its not THAT hard, but it would require some luck, as well as a faceroll champ.

Thanks for the vote of confidence chuef, but I think maybe I'll hold off on this after all. At least until I get a better computer, and (an I hate to use this expression) git gud. Or at least to a place where I won't have my coach face palming the moment I walk off fountain

Yo, i dunno if you're still interested, but I think i might take you up on your offer. I just need to work some things out, figure out how to manage my time better. But if you're still willing to coach me, i'm willing to learn.
