A few tips to improve CSing in low Elo
Before we start I would like to say using this strategy i went from having around 60-70 cs at 10 minutes to around 100 cs by 10 minutes. If you want to see results you have to stick with it.
Tip 1: Go to your ingame setting and turn off 'auto attack'. Reason being i found myself hitting minions without my consent often and therefor decreasing last hits. Turning this setting off will alow you to attack only when you click. It may take a few games to get used to.
Tip 2: To get better, you need to realize kills are nice to have, But you can get an easy gold advantage over anyone in game if you focus more about CSing then getting kills. This doesnt mean stop harrasing as it is key to the laning phase, but simply focus more on the enemy creeps then Killing enemies. When you get the chance to kill an enemy take it but make sure the creep wave is set up to your advantage so when you are getting the kill you wont miss out on last hits.
Tip 3: If you know for a fact that you wont devote some time to improving in this subject then play a role that doesnt require this skill set such as support or jungle. These two roles require a very high knowledge of map awareness and if you want me to make a guide on that let me know in the comments and i will do some research.
Now to the actual practice. Getting better at last hitting can be as simple as going into a bots game and practicing. Therefor i have set out a small routine that is quick and painless but will assure you better stats.
- Create a custom game with no bots, just you. for a whole ten minutes see how much cs you can get in this amount of time. Here is how you grade yourself: 100-114 CS By 10 Minutes= Perfect 80-99 CS By 10 Minutes= Nice! 60-79 CS By 10 Minutes= Could use some definate improvement 40-59 CS By 10 Minutes= You have failed me.
Now that you know the grading scores, The next step is to look at your grade and try to reach the next level. Lets say the first time around I got 60-79 CS. My goal would be to restart the custom Game and reach for the 80-99 CS range. Remeber if you cant reach this area the first time around, dont try to go for it straight away cus its not going to happen. I strongly suggest going through each level untill you can get around 95-114 cs by 10 Minutes. If you can keep this up in real games you will improve your stats in no time!
Make sure to comment if you want anymore guides and what you thought! Also remember if you are doing well and you want to challenge yourself try throwing a bot in there and go for a similar score. A good tactic to train yourself is to not kill the bot, but rather poke it a bit while csing to get consistent in lane.
