Bronze And Miserable.

Flowzart·9/2/2016, 4:28:46 PM·1 votes·1,050 views

Look okay. Im a Bronze and miserable. I dont know what to do. As a struggling ADC and Mid main, i cant seem to climb. I try my hardest to carry myself and my team mates but it never seems to work. I dont know how I can possibly climb out of Bronze. Its really terrible. The players are toxic as hell, the enemy seems to be composed of team members from TSM and my support never seems to support. I know i sound like a bronzie scrub, but thats because i am. But i really need some help. Someone needs to give me some pointers or play with me and coach me, because i know i deserve to do better than this and i know i deserve a higher rank. I grind almost daily trying to climb. But it just feels like im taking 2 steps forward and 3 back. Help.

I agree with Tyrone, don't expect your team mates to carry you out of bronze.

The lower the rank the easier it is to 1v5. People always seem to think it is the opposite. People seem to think that they can't win bronze games because their teams are so bad and if they only got to higher elo they'd easily win; this is NOT TRUE. As someone that has smurfed in low elo multiple times, I can tell you that it is a shit ton easier to 1v5 the lower the elo is, which should be common sense.

It may seem unfair that you need to be able to 1v5 in order to escape bronze, but honestly, all elos are pretty much all the same when it comes to climbing; if you can't 1v5 at your current elo you won't climb fast.

Heres some pointers specific to you based on what I saw in your match history:

  1. You die way too much. The more time you are spending dead the less time you are spending ganing experience and gold.

  2. There is a very important stat in this game called Gold Per Minute ( GPM ). Your GPM is ridiculously low. In games where you do well you hit around 350; that is how much gold you should have in games where you are getting completely stomped. Your low GPM is a result of being inefficent. Between dying and missing last hits or not pushing towers you are handicapping yourself.

  3. Your games last too long. 60% of your 10 games go way past what a ranked game should be going to. The longer the game goes the less impact a single individual has. This is because the longer the game goes the more time the people that were behind have to get back into the game. Once the game goes so long that everyone has 6 items it is nearly impossible to solo carry because now you are going to be forced to have a team fight which will decide who wins. If you let your games get to this point you are pretty much deciding if you win or loss on a coin flip; don't do that.

  4. Learn what the items actually do. I see you building Lord Dominik's in a game where there is a total of 140 bonus armor between ALL FIVE of your opponents. Did you know this item only takes away BONUS ARMOR and not all their armor? That means you spent 2700 gold to remove 63 armor from the enemy. I believe this is due to people doing cookie cutter builds where they build the same items regardless of what champions they are against and what items are being built, this is a terrible habit.

  5. If you want to climb spam champions that you are good with rather than champions that you find fun. If you think Vayne is fun to play, great, play her in normals until you are at least a gold level with her. When playing ranked keep to champions that you have a high winrate with. Once you start winning games and climing up with one champion you will learn a lot that you can apply to other champions. For example, I see that your Tristana stats are a lot better than your Draven stats but you play Draven a lot more. Draven is more fun for you probably and that is fine. Play Tristana until you get to at least silver or your winrate with her falls down to where your Draven winrate is. Stuff that you learn while playing Tristana will carry back over to Draven if you decide to go back to him. If you do decide to play him stick to normals for a bit until your mechanics with him are better. Constantly keep track of your winrates and stop playing a champion in ranked if your winrate is getting close to 50%. This is why a lot of higher elo players seem to spam 2-3 of the same champions a lot; these people figured out who they are best with and abuse it. Once you master a ROLE it is easier to then play other champions in that role; but first you need to master the role itself.

Heres something to consider. FOCUS ON YOURSELF!!!!!! Expect your team to feed every game and plan on how best to carry them. Farm up, take towers, pick up dragons and rift herald. WARD obsessively. Basic things

Maximum Morde9/2/2016, 5:40:04 PM2 votes

Go play a few hundred matches on the same champ. Learn it in and out. Go back to ranked and dominate.

Give me an invite and I'll play with you as your support. I may or may not be able to help mechanically, but I can give you a few pointers on th tricks I've been using to climb recently. I'm stalling out now at s1-s2 back and forth nonsense, but I think I can help ya.

What I did last year was I played a few champions that were pretty good but nobody else played. Mostly Xin and Malz. They never got picked or banned so I had an almost 100% chance of getting them, and since i spent a ton of time on them in normals i did pretty well. I got into silver 5 and stopped because thats honestly as far as i felt like going that year (plus i got there on the last day of the season lol)

@Thr34t Can I pay u to analyze my games like that? kappa xd don't, I've been tilted AF in ranked lately :c

@OP Just a small thing, but you may also want to consider your IGN. I'm a support main and if I had to support a Massive Schlong in lane I think it would kinda tilt me a little.

Don't listen to anyone here, just play 1 champ and 1 role. Master it. Looking at your profile, you are all over the board on what champs and roles you play.

Some champs are really high skill cap, they will obviously take longer to master. Don't worry about counter picking in low elo, just bring your BEST to ranked. Next, don't ever blame teammates, I'm in diamond 3 and I sometimes get kids on my team that should honestly be in gold elo. Also, find a good duo.. that you know isn't garbage.

Switch to top lane. I was a bronze ADC main for 9/10 of last season, switched to a lane that didn't need a competent team, got to gold over the weekend.

Siyther9/2/2016, 4:46:33 PM1 votes

i am also bronze and i tell you that its hard as fuck to get out playing adc. That role is far to dependant on the rest of the team. I ve started to play mid lane alot and its a hell of a lot easier to carry games from a solo lane. Jungle is hard to carry from cause if all lanes are losing ur screwed. You must play roles that you can carry from alone. I still suck and still lose games but i am slowly getting higher out of wood 5 into high b3 so far and nothing changed but the role i play.
