So i just lost my series again, 2nd time today and close to my 15th attempt to make it out of bronze 3. I play league every day and practice close to 6 hours a day, i try new champs, new builds, practice last hitting, freezing lane, learning to counterpick, upgrading trinket at lvl 9, warding, objective control and just about everything else i can think of to get better. I honestly just want to see gold before the season ends but after you lose your series over and over and over you start going on some serious tilt. Anyone out there have advice for doing better and advancing the ranks?

tl;dr Hoping for some advice/tips that can help me move through the ranks.

The best way to move out of the lower elos is become a one trick pony. I played 4 champs almost exclusively to get out of bronze: Varus, Thresh, Caitlyn, Nami. That was back in season 3 and It only took me 10-15 matches to get out of bronze when i reseeded B1 start of season 4. In bronze its very little about playing OP champs and play what you like. As long as you get extremely good with your small champ pool you will move up. Once you start getting with people that know how to play against those champs then you start branching out. I played to many champs and instead of playing things I was good at I chose the OP ones and failed because I didn't know what I was doing with them.

In low elos very few people know what they are doing and doing what you know is 1 good way to win. Learn your builds on a small pool of champs that you enjoy and go from there. The only thing is to make sure you don't pick champs that are banned a lot at your Elo or it defeats the point. Once you learn the basics with those champs you can start translating that into other champs and it makes it easier to expand your champion pool.

Since I've not looked back to bronze and have only moved up. Reached as high as plat and just keep dancing with Plat this season after I finally got serious again. Its possible to make it out of Bronze with any role and any champ you just need to dedicate the time to the champs.

Don't try any new champions. Play one champions or at least one role and learn it the best you can. This season ends in 2 months or so... I think it is possible to make it to high silver, but I doubt you can improve so quick to make it to gold.

Check probuilds to see how people that are being paid to play this game think of building their champions. As for anything else... all of them are general advices, and no one can tell for sure what you are lacking without seeing you play.

Yeah what these guys said. Play only a few high damage champs and nothing else. Preferrably somone with AOE abilities.

Also upgrading the trinket is very important and its good you are doing it. However looking at your wardscore im not sure you are actualy using it.

Pick one champ and stick with it. Even though your bot lane goes 0-15 try adn find something you could have done better instead of typing how much tehy suck. ward more, upgrade trinkets, shotcall

Many good tips here. But sadly the best way to get out of bronze, is to use one of the latest Hard to beat Champs.

I used Mord with my Duo partner in the bot lane, and got to gold.

Another tip is to find a duo with someone you know wont throw. This eliminates one extra spot that some other random person wouldve gotten,

My biggest thing that helped me to leave bronze is sometimes it helps to just play a really cheesy normal game. Try going into a TB and play full ap teemo. Or full ap virus mid or something. If your team says anything just mute em all and enjoy the game. Don't play to win play to have fun. Then regardless of the outcome you can go back and cream your series.
