Hello everyone, I am an average players, who have 2 year experience and Gold tier with League. In my Garena region, I got Gold Season 3, high plat (Plat-1, 55 LP) in Season 4. And now, I aim to Diamond in season 5 with NA region (Gold 3 now, 30 games). I'm not very good in sport and games, but I think I have improved myself during the time. And I want to share my experience with you guys. I will be very happy to take question and opinion from you. I. Begin

  • Have friends to play with you Everyone had a first time, and it was the best time. You had joy, you had fun and you had new things to learn everyday. Ofc, it also the worst time with terrible mechanic and strategic, where every champs you have not seen will crush you cruelly. And it would be more fun if you play with your friends, who learn with you and create a competitiveness environment, especially with the natural of League.

  • Learn the basic things They will be your bread-and-butter skill, what is follow you all the time when you join the Field of Justice. What are they? You can read here. Or just take these steps, what I think the essentials:

  1. Last hit: Ok, it's the major source of your gold.
  2. Control your minions: Why? Because you can make so many things with the control of your minions. When you can control your minions as you want, you probably win the lane and make huge contribute to the game.
  3. Learn about snowball and anti-snowball: After you score one or more kills, how can you take the benefit over your enemy? Or after you give your enemy one or more kills, how can you contribute to the game?
  4. Learn about combat: What is your role in combat? What you should do to win the 2,3,4 and 5 fights? What time is the best to force combat, or still keep enemy wander around the map with you?
  5. Learn about the meta: What champion/play-style is the best in this patch/in this game? For example, the Cinderhulk is the most OP things in this patch, and it guarantee higher win chance for you. I do not said that you must follow the meta, but if you try to break it, you must be at higher level of skill than the other. And, of course, it is harder to win.
  6. Learn about the champion: What champion do you like? What is your play-style? After decided, you should learn all aspects of your chosen champion, like their pros and cons, their build, their combos, their lover and hater, their match up,...

II. Take all in practice I suggest that you should have 3 phases of practice: with minions, with bots, with normal queue before use in ranked. Why must have so many phases?

  • Practice with minions: No pressure, no disturb. Just to learn the most basic skill and get used to the champion: their animation, their range, their potential damage, their mobility...
  • Practice with bots: A little bit pressure, many disturb. You can learn to deny the desire to kill and focus on your farm or push goals. You can practice the combo and estimate the damage and tank potential of your champion.
  • Practice with normal queue: IMO, the normal queue is the place that show all of your personal skill. You can use your champion without any worry about the counters and the blame from your teammates. Play your beloved champion as much as possible, with all kind of enemy, all kind of team to gain experience. I assume that you need at least 1-200 normal game to be consider as a good player of any champions.

III. Make up your mind First of all, you need to remember that you are only 1 out of 11+ in a ranked game. Why out of 11+? Because of yourself and other lover, mother, father, and even a relatives and your ISPs who can make you performance worse in the game. So your work is do your best, not control all other do their best like you. It is the work of God. Even if you play as well as Faker, you can only win 60% of all the time. And even you play as well as Faker, you still need to practice. Second, keep an in-depth diary. What is it? It is a simple note that keep all of your history play, especially the game which you feel you carry all or the lost was thank to you: What was you done to carry/ to lost that game? What was most important turning point? Of course you can note about other carriers in both your team and your opponent, but IMO, you do best when you just better than yourself. Keep an in-depth diary made all your matchs more worth, since they can contribute to your future games. I myself play about 3000+ games (ranked and normal), and I have diary for 1000 games that I think I can improve from or keep played like those. Third, win is your major goal, but don't forget that you are playing for fun. Fourth, if someone try to troll, their ultimate goal is made you rage, and if you do that so they are success. Don't feed the troll, just leave them alone. It is the only way to get rid of them. Fifth, dont keep playing after a lose streak. Go out and find girl/boy friends if you do not have, love is the best way to ease your soul. If you don't like to go out, so do other things. Like watch movie or read a funny manga, until you feel calm down and ready to come back to the Rift.

Good luck ! All of basic practice can be found on the famous site about League, if you want I will put it on my thread. Thank you for reading, and sorry for my bad English grammar. I only got 6 band for writing in IELTS item 3070 item 3070
