Gold Player Looking For Tips

Aralenna··1 votes·1,087 views

Hello everyone, I am Gold III ADC main and i have hit a point where i cannot climb any higher. I recently failed my Gold III > Gold II Series, however i feel my play was relatively solid throughout the games. I win lane in a majority of my games, but i just can't seem to translate that to a win in the game itself. Does anyone have tips for me to improve so i can climb to the higher ranks?

Here is my OP.GG page: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=ezraiin

Stop playing ezreal because you cannot control him or play him properly in the late game to carry it (otherwise you wouldnt be stuck) Play graves, Cait, jinx and collect the freelo since they are easy champions that allow for less mechanical missplays and having to think about it instead you worry about positioning,farming, the map, what to do where to go ect.

You can control ezreal, right click anywhere on the map.

You can play him properly, he's the safest AD carry on the rift - definitely one i'd recommend to gold players.

Id rather go with what an lcs coach says because its fact not some low elo player. (d4 still low elo bud) "if he could consistently hit an ezreal q or know how to play the late game his win rate wouldnt be the worst out of all of his champions and barely above 50%." sounds pretty accurate to me. Would you rather have timmy trying to hit an ezreal q where he misses his damage 3/4 the time or timmy playing graves where he spams buttons and people die?

I don't have any of the AD carries you mentioned above. If i'm at around 4k IP who would you recommend i buy first?

pref order is graves jinx cait.

I have a question regarding what Banana Nations said involving picking champions that can control objectives. Due to the short range graves has which translates to being less safe when sieging would it be better to play jinx and caitlyn since their long range allows them to be safe while taking towers, as well as being able to his the dragon/baron from over the wall safely thanks to their range? Or would graves be better since he does a lot of damage and objectives can be taken after winning a fight?

To OP. dont get lsot in all the fuzzy details as u can climb ranks with practically any champ, but remember its done easier when you play 'stronger' champs. like I'm sure doublelift can go 20 - 0 with any adc in gold ranked but that's also because he is much better than the people at that rank. Now if you're playing with people of similar skill (which you are) than by playing stronger champs you are putting the odds of winning in your favor. Ezzreal doesn't put the odds in your favor.. champs like Graves/Jinx/Twitch do. Play THOSE champs

does alot of damage in burst can win team fights and is easy to play, the splitpushing adc's like vayne require more game knowledge while graves does not

Graves needs a ton of gameknowledge in order to know when to use his E which is the deciding factor between a decent graves and a good graves.

Vayne requires little to no game knowledge, all you need to know are ranges, cooldowns on major abilities, and positioning.

lmao when you become an lcs coach that also teaches solo que then you can tell me what you "think" is hard and what is not hard until then ill take the lcs's coach and reasoning for it instead of a one trick d3 player . Yeah i mean vayne no game knowledge you can just run in press R and kill everyone right? no need for positioning or like having short range being super squishy knowing when to ult knowing how and when to team fight how to survive. Meanwhile graves win rates are through the roofs while vayne players always seem to lose wonder why? oh yeah because graves requires jack shit but pressing buttons while vayne requires mechanical skill. Both champions need game knowledge the point is that graves is easier mechanically than vayne by a wide margarine therefore graves is easier and should be played more by newer/bad players than vayne. Understanderino logicachino? or you gonna say the one champion you play is easy? (which it is for those that only play it and or have mechanics for it) If you disagree go have a gold 5 shitter that is stuck and is switching to adc have him play 50 vayne games and 50 graves games ask him whats easier and see what he wins with more.

Positioning isn't game knowledge :(

When to teamfight isn't game knowledge :(

How to survive isn't game knowledge :(

Mechanical skill isn't game kwnoledge :(

I'm getting lectured by an unranked player who has no idea what he's talking about :(

oh ls is a pretty cool guy, too bad i couldn't get to know him more.

unusual coaching style, definitely not worth going to if you want to improve from low elo like yourself but high benefits for a high elo like myself =).

i can be a fedora tipping douche if i wanted to as well, but i'm not a scrub like you.

whats funny is im the same elo as you (^: enjoy thinking you are good at the game good luck getting challenger i mean you've only been playing since season 1 .

Still low elo. Maybe you should "Get good".

ezzreal's win rate dips the longer the game go on. I play him when i have to adc but i'm a shitty adc and i just like to play someone who is safe so he is ideal for me. But you being someone who mains adc, you probably should be learning a 'better' adc. You can still win with ezzreal.. but other adc's can carry better than he can. (vayne,jinx,graves,twitch)

Gold is all about your mechanical skill and game sense improving to a higher degree, work on your positioning and finding your 'main champion'.

What worked for me when I was in gold was to play Solo Q hero champions that have the capability of seriously dishing out damage if left unhandled, like Vayne or Ezreal. That or I played safe champions like Cait and just farmed my way to victory.

Based on your match history, your score doesn't seem to stand out so you're not carrying games hard enough to the point where you have alot of kills and become a major threat on your team. Also consider these: Are you grouping up with your team often in the mid-late game where teamfights occur more often? Are you pushing a lane or taking an objective?

You could try improving your lane techniques and team decision making , if you look back in your games you will notice that even when you win a lane vs a hyper carry like jinx, trist or cait , they will still do almost as much damage as you or even more, this game is all about winning your lane hard, I mean getting your self ahead means your team has one advantage over the enemy but if you can get the enemy laner behind by denying him cs through lane freezing/zoning and teleport/jungler assisted tower diving, you get another advantage and if you can do that in duo lane well, that quadruples your advantage .

Punishing your lane opponent that hard isn't always the best way to go, sometimes its just better to abuse your power advantage to siege objectives with your team something that will extend you lead, its up to you to decide what's better, keep in mind that the biggest thing that separates gold silver and bronze from higher tiers is individual and team overall decision making, I mean having a high level of game mechanics is still important but knowing some auto cancelations, dodging a few more skills shots and landing yours a bit more consistently doesn't win you games.

In order to go through gold usually what you want to do is play champions that can control neutral objectives as these tend to be ignored by many gold elo players. I would suggest jinx/cait/trist as they are all great at controling baron,dragon and melting towers from safe range.

if you wanna adc, spam Sivir.
