A big thing to do is to fix your builds. What I'd suggest is to look at websites that list common builds for high ranked players for certain champions, like probuilds.com, or successful builds on leagueofgraphs or whatever, and make sure that you have a very compelling reason for whenever you deviate from them. For example, hurricane is so situational that it should almost never show up in your match history, but you have it almost every time you played ADC. You've never built sightstone when playing support, and you didn't have a jungle item when you jungled.

Your Darius and Pantheon builds are relatively normal, but since it looks like you build the same thing every game on them, may not often be optimal for individual games in which you might have to be tankier, or might need more armor pen on pantheon, or may need more armor vs more magic resist, etc.

I'm a diamond 2 jungler who does replay analysis.

If you really want to get better, looking at match history can only get you so far. Download replay software, record your games and learn when you're doing something right or wrong. Take notes and translate what you've learned watching replays to gameplay.

Start buying sightstone, hunter's machete (and finishing it), and upgrade/change your trinket mid-game.

If you're interested in getting better you should contact me for a lesson.

try to be the support I climbed out of bronze IV because of 2 reasons playing zed mid and playing thresh support everything else i tried i either got carried or lost because supports feed the entire team and mid lane is just a way to have fun considering the mid laner can do whatever they want they can roam they can carry they can not roam they can not carry anything they want they can do

Getting out of Bronze seems easy enough there...just practice last hitting (10/minute is not that realistic in SoloQ/outside midlane....but you should at least be 200+ at min 30). You can easily practice lasthitting in Botgames.

Well i got out from bronze 5 so i can give you some drake advice first up,fix your runes/masteries. Learn to cs. this can be more important than kills as it can provide more gold. look at the cs of lcs players each game and how fast they finish items. last hitting helps with csing a lot. Learn a specific champion you like. If you like and can play that champion extensively,you will be able to even beat counters. If you MUST counter someone,learn how the champion counters them and be able to play that champion. Ward. A lot. if you are killing a lot,you are going to get ganked. don't flame.ever. if ashe is getting hooked by blitz like she paid for it,just ignore it and say nothing. Try to build a balanced team. If your team has 2 assassins,an adc and a squishy support,go tanky please. only acception is possibly the mid lane. Learn when you can and cannot fight. if they have one level over you,worse yet an ultimate and you dont.dont fight. if they killed you before,they will do it again,no matter how low the cooldown on that Q was. NEVER Play any champion you never played before,not Yi,not Kat,not Akali.and sure as hell not blitzcrank. Don't pick/ban blitz. he isnt OP. IMO he is the worse support,he cannot peel...lacks soo much. Miss Q then GG. Stop playing Pantheon top. take it from me,i used to main him top,its good until level 6. when playing voli build purely HP. plz no taric when building vlad build boots then SOLELY AP OR HP. Plz dont play kalista. her kit is made for people who can kite. this is a great mechanic to learn btw.

Finally,try to learn from every game. If you got killed,look for ways you went wrong.

Also champions like Darius Akali Katarina Fizz Tryndamere Volibear and if you can farm a lot Nasus are good in bronze. Bronze kids tend to want to fight all the time and never back out,4v2 and all. Most of these champions get better with time in fights.

I was able to carry myself to Gold with Katarina alone. She will win you the game practically every time if you are able to get ahead in your lane. I would suggest picking her up and trying to master her.

can someone please coach me on league so i can get better because its hard to understand things in streams or in videos because the exact situation will never happen to anyone else.. please can someone add me and coach me to help me get out of b5, desperately need help please somebody????

I understand all of you are doing your best to help, but unless you are platinum + I highly suggest you don't try to coach.

This isn't against you, this is to help the OP get the best learning experience he can. Being told opinionated builds and champions are just flat out incorrect bad.

Sammystorm12/9/2014, 5:17:29 AM1 votes

Play pantheon every game. If you absolutely can't get pantheon play ashe. Or darius you are decent with darius too.

Playing 1 champion all the time increases your rank. Playing a lot of champs generally increases your skill.

Speaking of which I main anivia and can give you pointers on her.

For example this amazing guy who spent over 2 hours helping OP http://www.twitch.tv/onlyusemehiten/c/5653136 Gave a few bad tips that may confuse OP.

  1. "Ashe doesn't have a built in escape" - She does, If an ADC does not have a dash, they will have a CC. Some form of CC. I don't know of ANY adc that does not readily have a gap closer or CC.

2)"Ignite on ADC is unusual" - No, it isnt. Ignite on an aggressive ADC reduces the effectiveness of heal by half and provides DoT to the enemy, it's strong on burst champions.

3)http://www.twitch.tv/onlyusemehiten/c/5653136 does not completely understand the mechanics of the game, he's not even sure himself on some of the things he says.

I'm not TRYING to pick on him, he's the only person i could really get a good example out of, great guy I totally suggest you visit his stream.

Just remember one important thing: The only thing worse than the enemy beating you is turning against your own team.
