I need someone to teach me.

Zoskie·10/15/2014, 1:31:08 AM·3 votes·1,793 views

I'm a Bronze 1 jungle/ADC/Support main and I have trouble climbing. I've asked, researched and tried my absolute best, but it seems that I cannot improve.

Me:

  1. I don't rage, flame, troll, tilt, or AFK. It's pointless and it doesn't help us win the game.
  2. I try my best in every game no matter what. Why should I give up when the enemy has gotten first blood? There's the whole rest of the game to still play through.
  3. Yes, I do ward.

I've tried looking for help ( Looking for a Senpai to teach me. ), but due to no one really having the patience to show me the way of doing anything good, I've pretty much just been learning that game by myself. My friend introduced me to the game and literally said these words, "Kill the Nexus. Farm Champions. F***CS.", and that's all I learned from him. Every time we played after that he just screamed at me for not doing ____ or not knowing how to do ____. After every game I try to analyze the game and think of what I could've done better and what I shouldn't have done. But, I can only learn so much just from my own studies. I'm just looking for someone to teach me, someone to show me what I'm doing wrong and how to improve.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day. -Zoskie

I can play any role but I don't have a diverse enough champion pool to play all the roles.

I just mained jungle Shaco and split push my team to victory nearly every match I got him, barring the times I couldn't get jungle I just filled and hoped for the best. The easiest way to climb is to pick champions you know can make a large impact by themselves regardless of the situation your team is in skill-wise.

You don't have to wait until the game end to analyze. Whenever you do something good or badin game you should immediately ask yourself what you did right/should keep doing or what you did wrong and how you can prevent the mistake next time.

For example if you were leona vs Morgana bot lane, you know her spell shield blocks you. But do you know what the cd on the shield is? Whaty about the cd on her bind? If she misses her bind/ shield, do you capitalize on that brief window where she can't do anything but throw a pool on you while burning her mana?

What if you were lucian with+30 dmg on an ashe? Do you force trades where you spam all your spells and autos vs her one w and maybe 2 autos?

Bot lane mechanics is all about asking 'what can I do if they do this' and 'if i trade now which team does more damage?'

There are a lot of helpful resources on boards, but here are a few outside sources

LastShadow is an incredibly knowledgeable player, he actually coached for SHC in the EU LCS. He can coach any role and also has a lot to offer in terms of macro strategies. I would also check out his youtube for coaching videos.

ilovesezu is a high elo ADC streamer I just discovered (via boards), I haven't been able to watch too much of his stream since he's on at odd times for me, but I've been asking him questions via pm and he's been incredibly helpful. He also offers 1 on 1 lessons (for a cost, though)

you can add me in game if you want. Sammystorm.

Here are a few things I recommend to improve your ranking and skill level over all.

  1. pick 2-3 champs and play them

-When you do this you become so good at those champions that you don't have to worry about playing them. they play themselves so to speak. So it really gives you freedom to learn the mechanics of the game. The other thing it does is it makes you mechanically better at that champion then most of the people you are paired with.

  1. Learn to CS

There is no fun way to learn this. Just practice. However if you get better at it then your peers you will move up quickly. If you for example have 40 cs and 1 kill that is roughly the same gold as 60 cs.

  1. Don't die

I know this is impossible but the less you die the less risky plays you make the more games you win. You also need to balance it. Sometimes dieing can be helpful for your team. However most of the time you just want to make safe plays as a team to crush the opponent

Well first of all by looking your lolking ranked stats cs numbers are really not that good. You should abuse champions that you have a 60%+ win rate. If you click on wins on the link below should show the characters u have the most wins with but there's win % you have to look at. http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/52303607#ranked-stats

That being said even if you jungle try to have 100 cs by the end of the game or more and you have to know when to gank. Its ok to dodge sometimes even if its a promo trust me i learned the hard way. If you need more help 1 on 1 i can go over games with you and help you with specific match ups. Ill be charging $5 dollars an hours.
