[KR d2 adc AMA] How do I rise in ELO?

Rising elo in League of Legends can be something difficult to do at points, almost impossible. However, what people don't really realize is exactly how EASY it is to get out if you know a few things.

Bronze [V]-->Bronze [I]

Bronze players! Check your build. Use lolpro to compare champion builds and see if you at least some resemblance to higher elo players who play the same champion as you. Sometimes, it's just your runaan's shivv rush that kills you, not your choices.

Check your map! If there's any time where you're just mindlessly starting at your champion autoattack, look around the map, hit tab to see your teammate's progress!

Where are you? If you aren't near another teammate you might be out of position or overextended! Check where you are 100% of the time compared to your team.

Who do you blame? Blame nobody, a game is lost when all players contribute to the loss. You are responsible for your OWN score, yes, even you ADC's.

Silver[V]-->Silver[I]

Silver players! Why are you building what you are building? You are in silver because you follow pro players builds and playstyles without reason! Ask yourself, why are you doing what you are doing? Why are you building banshee's veil versus blitzcrank? Why are you telling your team to invest in GA vs katarina?

Understand your skill! Don't try to do things that are wayy too impossible to do (fken faker) or not do things you can do (r.i.p Nien).

Actively try to improve! Review your replay, get a coach, or watch streams like Geranimo who help players learn to play better!

Have fun! Solo Q and Duo Q is all about having fun in the lower elo's, enjoy yourself and you will surely improve.

Gold[V]-->Gold[I] Gold players! Train your CS'ing skills in a custom, you can't keep on living on the 50 cs at 10 minutes like you were in silver. Your primary job early game is to prepare for a strong transition into mid/late game!

Get the right trinket! Oracles verse akali, Scrying versus fiddlesticks, trinkets can change games.

Why do you counter who you counter? It's time to start thinking even deeper, this is when the game starts to get harder. Why does caitlyn counter vayne? Is it because of her longer range or is it because of her strong pushing ability?

Who are you strong with? Learn to play at least 50 of the champions somewhat to get a feel for each lane and champs.

Play alot! Gold-->Plat is pretty much mechanical skill.

Plat[V]-->Plat[I] Platinum players! Now is the awkward stage where half of you get left behind and the other half proceed.

Empathize with your teammates , You see an 0-3 lee sin "What would i feel if i was lee, what would make me feel better and do better?"

Why are you losing the games you are losing? In platinum it's usually because of your attitude. Many players have the talent to become diamond or higher, they are just clouded by their pride.

Learn other champions, you probably got to plat playing a few champions, play more and learn each lane a bit more in depth than before.

Diamond[V]-->Diamond[II] Diamond players! Now is the time to really get good.

I don't know much because all of my accounts are stuck in this range, but if you want to improve just do what you've been doing before! Some players get to challenger by mechanics, strategy, or shot calling. Whatever you are good at, nurture it.

You aren't good yet, that means you still need to focus on yourself. Many times in a game I find myself [smurf or not] believing that I am the god of the game. That i control everything with strings, technically in a sense I am. However I am not everyone's god, i am my own god.
