Looking for Coach/Tutor

Novum Uero··1 votes·915 views

First off, would prefer someone of a high rank in ranked (gold or higher), also i've been around sense 2012 though i took a huge break do too getting pissed at the old solo Q garbage and it taking forever for me to go from 27 too 28

Okay so i am bronze was 1 now im 2, due too toxic teams or other things, i tend to main the support role.

Things i know i suck at(getting better though).

  1. CS
  2. remembering about newer items
  3. playing against counter picks
  4. Using item's actives
  5. Braum

Things i know am good at (or at least i think so).

  1. Fast Reaction speed
  2. playing support
  3. Picking builds that work with how i play
  4. picking champions that help our team comp
  5. Blitzcrank

Thats all i can think of, as for personality, i am calm and mellow but can get angry when my team is not in sync(though i don't let it out to the team).

Thanks for anyone willing to help out, only thing i ask is that you understand some things.

Don't insult me, fastest way to have me ignore you, trust me you will know when i think you have insulted me. Don't comment on my Blitzcrank build, i enjoy it, it works for me, end of discussion.(you may comment on masteries and ask questions about it, but dont tell me its bad) Don't make assumptions, used gathered information and logic, else i will be as stubborn as a exhausted elephant sleeping in the middle of a road. (EX. looking at my match history see one match i have 20 deaths and assume i am garbage and not even checking why)

TL;DR Read above, Teach me gold or higher senpai, and don't talk about my Blitzcrank build

EDIT: apparently the dot lists dont work

Looking at your profile on op.gg, there are alot of issues I noticed.

**K/D/A **- Looking at your last 19 ranked games, you have a KDA of 2.4 / 7.4 / 6.7 (Average 1.24:1 KDA). 7.4 deaths is way too many deaths and you should work towards dying less. Also looking at your Kill Participation of 38% tells that you are not involved in a lot of the fights that your team do. Especially as a support player you should look to help your team as much much as you can across the whole map, not just bot what happens bot lane.

Runes and Masteries - You have very sub optimal rune and masteries setup and I would highly suggest to save up IP to buy the standard AP and AD runes for the 2 starter rune pages, if you don't have enough IP to buy them. As for masteries just go to sites like champion.GG or lolking and look up the standard masteries for whatever champs you wish to play.

**Item Builds **- Building on from the above your item builds and build orders are also pretty bad. I see alot of times you build half of one item and then start building another half of another item. This is inefficient and just takes up your item slots and you need a lot of gold to finish items and as a support you don't get that much gold. Furthermore, that blitz build is also straight up bad and puts you too behind to be worth stacking up.

Vision Control - As a support, one of your primary duties is to control vision for your team. From what I can see you only have an average of 13 wards placed per game. You need to ward way more and ward where you need to ward not where you want to. Furthermore, its really important that you upgrade your trinket to sweeping lens once you get your sightstone and upgrade to Oracles Alteration when you get level 9. Also make sure you buy pink wards too. Remember, vision denial is as important as warding.

There are alot more things that I can go on about but the things I listed above are pretty easy to fix. Some of them you can fix even without being in a game. Just working on these can help you improve quite a bit.

I sniped all the info because i did not want this to be over extended.

For KDA there is a lot more that happens in games that KDA cant explain, i tend to try to let others get kills as a support, instead of killing them, but with my recent games for some reason the lanes dont roam till like 25-30 minutes in so im stuck in lane a lot, and either the game get FF by the enemy team, or my team does not ff and i end up going super negative because as the enemy teams have quoted "you are your team" and they focus me in a team fight, and if i die we lose the team fight, if i dont we win it.

I understand my runes are not good, ive been putting more IP to new champs then it, which i know i should not but that was before i wanted to get serious about ranked.

My builds are all over because i either have a crappy "mobafire" builds from before i started just doing my own, or i am still trying to find the best build path.(ignoring your comment on my blitzcrank build, ive been adjusting to make it work better, but it works perfect for me.)

For vision control i am getting used to the new support items and stuff still, i am used to 2012-2013 where buying 5 wards was a thing, having trinkets and support items is new too me(may have had them back then, but i was more top or jungle main back then), plus a lot of the time i forget i have items with actives.

You have a 20% win rate on Blitzcrank. Blitzcrank is super popular in Bronze and the average win rate is 52%. You need a serious reality check on this one. Your build on Blitzcrank does not work for you. Adapt to a new build, stop playing Blitzcrank, or remain in Bronze. Those are your three options if you are serious about improving.

really could care less about what you said, but replying to be nice.

The reason my win rate is 20% is not my fault ingame i do good, i actually do so good i am focused by the entire enemy team, and have been commented a few times by them that "i was my team" because if i died so did my team, if i lived my team won the fight

now the reasoning behind why i lose is either mid and top feeds, my adc is a idiot and when i pull instead of attacking them they are farming, or the jungle never ganks or lane even though we are being pushed out of tower(low health).

The times ive won, ive either had a really good adc that took every chance i gave him with my grab, or my team did fair on laning phase and dominated in team fight.

Now the percentage you are seeing is probably for people queuing up with their friends or does some other role than support(topcrank and junglecrank can be done). where as i solo Q support. though with some advice i got i am probs gonna be changing who i main.

No. The 20% is pulled only through your Solo Q games.

Also, blaming others will never help you improve. Here is a link to a forum post I wrote specifically targeted towards helping Bronze players climb ranked play: https://www.reddit.com/r/summonerschool/comments/45oj0d/simple_steps_to_help_you_climb_out_of_bronze/

though on na i am silver 2 that is because i recently began playing ranked on na, i was bronze 5 about one or two weeks ago and still climbing. on kr i am plat 1 (highest peak dia 4) and on euw i am plat 5 if you need a coach i can definately help i usually coach after the game through via skype prefferably while replaying the game because giving coaching during gameplay is very controvertial due to the fact that it can disrupt decision making. it helps that you have an idea of what you are doing wrong. pm me if you are willing to take me as a coach :)

Based on the information you have provided this is my feedback:

If you want to climb to gold from bronze, one of the most influential roles to play as is ADC. By playing as your team's ADC, you play as the damage dealer against enemy champions and against enemy turrets. You are also the wave pusher if you play an ADC that has the ability to clear minions waves fast. If you take down the enemy's bot T1 turret before they have taken down yours during the laning phase, then you now have control over the enemy bot lane. If you go mid after taking down the bot T1, you put the enemy bot lane in a stressful situation (Enemy ADC: "Do I continue to farm bot lane and get their bot T1 to catch up in CS and gold or do I go mid to help out my mid laner to prevent the other ADC from getting the turret or killing my teammate?"). If the enemy bot lane does not go mid, then that is practically a free turret because it is a 3 v 1 fight, assuming the enemy jungler does not help.

You understand the areas you need to improve on (AKA you know your strengths and your weaknesses). Practice farming/last hitting minions in a custom game as an ADC. Your target goal for minion kills should be 70 by 10 minutes on the in-game timer.

Understand what the new items do. If they do not benefit your champion and you for the long term, then you do not have to be concerned about not using it.

When fighting against a champion that counters you, you must understand why they counter your pick, such as what their ability powers (q, w, e, r) are, their passives, and their maximum attack range. Although your opponent has chosen a counterpick, that does not mean that person is great mechanically with them. Understand when you can poke or kill them. Be mindful of your positioning to avoid receiving harassment from their ADC.

I noticed you did not list vision control as something you are good at and based on the information I have observed from na.op.gg on your recent matches, you do not purchase pink wards. Get into the habit of purchasing them and using them. By having vision control, both you and your teammates are given information about where the enemies are and based on that acquired information, your team is able to execute certain actions, such as securing turrets or objectives.

Although you advise those who wish to help you to not check your match history, I guarantee to you and assure you that professional coaches or any high ELO coach (Diamond, Master, Challenger) will do this. By doing this, they are able to identify what needs to be worked on, but they will also ask for you perspective of the match as they review your match replays. They are not paid to tell you "you suck" or make you feel inadequate. They are there to help you. Sometimes what they say can be hurtful, but what they tell you is constructive and beneficial. Like how you are as a support player, sticking it through the bad and the good, your coach will, too.

As a coach had once told me, League of Legends is a thinking game and if you want to become a better player, you must first be open-minded to constructive criticism and you must practice on the areas you wish to improve on. If someone is calling you names and is not identifying what you must do to better yourself, then they are not giving you proper feedback. They are harassing you and you can report them after the match.

Thanks for taking the time out in reading my feedback and feel free to add me if you want someone to improve with.

i cut your quote short so as not to clog the thread.

Thanks for the feed back, as for why i said not too judge by the match history to much, is due to when i am laning my kda is really good, when we start team fighting i get focused a lot, or i try delay the enemy so they dont get a quad kill, which 50% of the time i get killed, i rather have them get 1 kill they 4

for vision control i counted that under item's actives which i am bad at but improving.

and i am down for constructive criticism, i just dont want someone commenting on something they think they know about but dont take the time to actually undestand.

and yea if you dont mind ill add you

I'd be willing to help you, but your attitude doesn't really seem like you want to change. Criticism in any form cannot be taken as an insult. Refusing to change your Blitz build because 'it works for you' doesn't really seem like you're open to discourse. Regardless message me in game if you want me to spectate some games and take notes

Well noticing that blitzcrank is banned in a majority of games i play, means i need a secondary support.

There is a difference between criticism and a insult.

Criticism is telling me exactly what is wrong with my build, and how it can be improved on, knowing exactly how to buff every ability in the champion.

Insulting me is just because "a pro does this build" mean that my build that is different is shit, even though my build works on deception and focuses a lot of blitzcranks passive. which if you did not know, at 20% health blitz gets a mana shield for 50% of his current mana.

which make people tower dive think "oh i can get his kill" then suddenly i have 70-100% health back in mana shield, and they just turent dived into a double stun and if at level 6 a silence

Hi, I am a platinum 1 toplane main. I am no where as knowledgeable as a support main in my Elo but I can give u some general advise on how to climb In general(mindsets, attitude, champions) Before we begin let me just clarify that I am in no means to insult u, just becuz ur bronze doesn't mean ur bad, however, some of my points may sound a bit rude depend on how u take it.

  1. One major factor towards ur climb in the long run is ur win ratio. Ideally, ur win ratio want to be at least 52%(depend on how many games u played) that way u can secure a stable Elo gain and a mmr gain eventually rise through the Elo ladder... Slowly but surely.

  2. Everyone will tell u to never blame ur teammates and they r right. Literally nothing comes out from blaming ur teammates. Everyone knows this yet it is so hard to applie this to a real game. I am platinum 1 almost diamond and I still blame my teammates from time to time. One thing u can do is to mute everyone, even though this doesn't prevent u from trash talking ur teammates but it would greatly reduce the chance of u starting a fight since u have no idea if someone is flaming at u.

  3. Always focus on urself. There are so many variable in this game that u can't control, the only thing that stays the same is urself. Doesn't matter if those player are bad, f&@$ them, let them be, u want to climb then u focus on ur own gameplay and let the rest stay in bronze.

I wrote a few points that u may want to consider but didn't really go too in depth with any of those. I didn't want to waste too much of my time if u don't really want to learn from this. Let me know with a reply on the post if u want me to go in depth. Thank u for reading :>

Are you still looking for some help?

if so send me an friend invite. i will tell you right now don't listen to anyone who will tell you to play another role to climb. playing support can be an effective way to go far in ranked. you get one thing that no one else gets in the game, you get absolutely no focus and using this to help carry your team can get you a lot of lp fast.

anyway hit me up if you still need some help

Nyaboron1 votes

Novum, playing support is fine for climbing but you can't get mad. Even if you don't let it out to the team it still affects how YOU play which then affects your team's performance as a whole whether you think so or not. Also, whether something works for you or not (talking about your blitz build), listening to criticism to improve is what you want. What works in bronze may not work in higher tiers so eventually that sentiment will hold you back (trust me, i know). You can't seriously ask for a coach while simultaneously telling people not to criticize certain aspects of your play, or "insulting" you. Coaches don't insult you, you may just be taking the criticism personally which you shouldn't be doing. If you die 20 times in one match, you tilted and it doesn't matter what anyone else on your team did, you made a lot of mistakes which you can work on. If you've gotten this far reading my spiel, and you want my help, feel free to add me. You can send me replays I can watch and criticize but I don't have much time to play in-game with you (i work a full time job and have 17 college credits right now so I'm booked on time until January).
