what am I doing wrong

Jonesybones··3 votes·1,420 views

I got demoted from silver 2 to bronze 1. WTF AM I DOING WRONG? I know what to build on champs. I know to save gold and pivot and play what the store gives me. I know when to reroll, I know what comps synergise and what items synergise.

No its not RNG for you low elo asshats that never been close to gold. I'm pissed off. I gained 5lp for 4th place in one game. like fuck you riot. Any plat player or higher can you tell me what im doing wrong?

i'm at diamond 3 right now, so a couple questions:

How many times do you roll searching for champs pre level 6?

What items are you building right now?

give us a screenshot or write an example of an end game build that net you a loss, if you remember what the other players had, the better.

I only roll if i go over 50 gold. And if I'm doing really well I will save my gold and use it for lvls or rolling at raptors.

It depends champion I have. For example Assassins, I go shivs, cannon, and IE or BT depending on the assassin, Ionic spark I like to use to nobles or tanks. I'll play a game which will probably be a loss becuase for some reason it feels rigged against me.

[(https://imgur.com/vupiTjU)] I'm gonna just blame RNG at this point.

https://imgur.com/vupiTjU for some reason i dunno how to insert links in the post.

rerolling only over 50g isnt a great strat, you are missing out on crucial early units. i reroll 4 times total before stage 3 then after that 30g i reroll to 20, get back to 30, reroll to 20, replenish gold to 50, let it spin down to 20 or so again.

If you are holding 50g or close to it at all times you are screwing yourself unless you have had insane luck all game.

No because if you reroll too early you are fucking your ecom if you don't get the units you want and lose anyways. its a bigger risk to reroll early.

this isnt really true at all. it depends which build you are going for, if you want tier 1 units to boost them to tier 3 you should reroll and not exp so your chances to get the core units of your build (tier 1 and 2 mostly) will be higher.

The more you level up the more higher units you will get.

Another tip is try to get at start units that can carry you trough the earlty phase. Garen is one, Kassadin, Shen and Lulu. put 3 or 4 of them together and save money if you want to econ.

Just run brawlers with some dps and you will get top 4 easily anyway. Game is so stale and boring after last update.

good luck.

p.s also dont forget items, they are so strong that can turn a lost game in a won one. Morello and GA are great for aoe champs against nobles and healing comps.

I know morello's is good for AOE champs. GA's is good on anything except shapeshifters.

IGaren kassiden and shen and lulu have no comp synergy. With other champs they do. I like to go assassins, wild or shapeshifters. But I'll go anything the store gives me.

I know the more i level up the higher uniits again. I already know all of this. If you reroll and try to go for tier 1 units that someone already has you fuck your self. The only way to get the champions you want is to maximize rerolls.

I mean, im gold 2 but dont play a crazy amount but max rank in drodo.

  1. accept that some % based comps are gimmicky trash, (blademasters, gunslingers) they rely on aatrox and now jinx to do literally anything because their chance to proc is pretty low and the damage output from other units is oof without items.

2.yordles is great if no one is going sorcerers, you wont win every game unless you get a big boy veigar/gnar but its a safe bet for at least 3rd.

Literally go shapeshifters as often as you can, i like to pair them with sorcerers if im ahead, (i make gnar a sorcerer with yuumi and stick a deathcap on him, he literally aoe 1 shots all the squishies) or brawlers if im keeping pace, but once you get 6 shapeshifters its pretty hard to lose.

i know how to build comps. the Comps is not the problem. Its the fact that I'm doing everything right and i still don't get champions i want and ive lost 30 games in a row from silver 2 to bronze 1. That makes the game seem really rigged.

it be lìke that1 votes

your first mistake is, you think you are doing everything right. You arent, Im not either. Nobody is.

I finish top 3 more often than not, and i just finished first, ive played 3 games today, 2 1sts and 1 3rd. Im now gold 1. If you are going to ask for advice/help on boards you need to be receptive of it.

want to que a game with me?

See how he has far more 3 stars than me? Hell, even 1 more unit. There is so much you can do to counter people.

*edit i dont think this counts as naming and shaming? but if so my b.

So everything I learned from scarra is incorrect? that is literally illogical.

it be lìke that1 votes

There isnt one way only to win, there is counters, invest early on 1 costs as they have an equal return if you sell them later, hell, ill sell 3 2 stars and flip my comp mid game if needed.

Some stuff is better early but sucks late, you use it to conserve hp with a decent early game board while you save and invest in endgame.

If you are thinking about what you want to go before the game starts and try for it, you are already wrong.

Jonesybones1 votes

I already know about pivoting. There is no counter to glacial, the only counter to hextech is to spread items and units out. And its imposible to specifially build a comp to counter everyone.

I know what is better late game again beause scarra talks about this. For example ahri is onyl good early, same with knights.

There is nothing you can tell me that I already don't know. You know what? its just easier if i punch a riot employee in the face. At least thats possible for me. Because aparently winning one single game is impossible.

Oh so you are trolling, okay. Sorry you cant win games with your seemingly boundless knowledge.

No I'm not trolling. I only have knowledge because i studied scarra vids.

I imagine flexibility is a must. Every time I go in with a game plan I stick too hard with, I get starved by the shop because other people are also grabbing what I want. Go in planning for yordles? 3 other players have Tristana too. Rangers? Oh that guy has a level 3 varus, that's where it all went. Know when to jump ships.

Also there IS RNG, even in low placements. And you aren't doing PvE where a victory is assured if you do it right. Sometimes you aren't the a top 4 player in that group of 8. Sometimes someone just gets better buys, and are good enough to see a good buy when they get one.

The point is you have to be TOP 4 to get LP. 30 games in a row? I don't think so. Of course there is RNG. Its easier to blame it on RNG its just pissing me off that im doing everything that i can and i still don't get top 4.

Well it's beta. Hopefully they change it so its less punishing on losses. Maybe even make 4-5 null zones.
