Don't even for one second consider yourself good, ever....This is the easiest way to cause yourself to stay your current elo, if you always think you're good then you end up blaming your team mates and never owning up to yours mistakes. There is always new stuff to learn and things to improve on, that's why I find humble LCS players tend to improve the fastest.

colesy3 votesyou have a flash, use it.
failing that, you can just write in chat to the blitz "don't hook annie".
easy, done.
or you can blame team mates because you're infallible and they're holding you back, amirite?

^ my thoughts exactly
psychogames1 votesno do not take this advice build confidence know what your character is capable of and practice aram for a better knowledge of what you could face in matches.
King Odin4 votesConfidence and thinking you're good are two very different things. I didn't say to beat yourself down and call yourself garbage, I am saying don't think you've reached the point where you should stop learning because you think you're better than others.
Waygzh1 votesEveryone is bad at League of Legends, even pros. We're all bad, we all make mistakes, and we all have room for improvement. But you should still go into every game feeling like a Rank 1 player and play to that confidence.
Not calling yourself or anyone on your team garbage is irrelevant to this.

Don't consider yourself good?....that's the stupidest tip I've ever heard. League's ELO has been proven to be based mostly on luck rather than skill. The luck is getting paired with compatible teammates. The skill is secondary. Yeah, not being toxic always helps because all that does is make enemies out of your teammates. But that simply has to do with actually being a 'good' player in general...not a successful one in elo...
BluePolarizer1 votesso are you bronze, or silver?
S2C2Xd9KOy1 votesunranked lol
BluePolarizer1 votesthe #1 thing I hate hearing from ppl is "my team holds me back".
S2C2Xd9KOy1 votesi dont really like that either, and hate to be hypocritical, but sometimes it really is true. Im mid gold, so this really doesn't happen, but in_ really _low elo like silver and bronze, sometimes the teams really do hold players back. Even playing on an old account I used to use (when I first started playing), the teams just simply amaze me. One game I had Kogmaw, Thresh bot. Kogmaw went mixed and they both took smite and obviously fed, like hello??? play normals.
The only reason I've had some success with trying to get the account raised a little, is literally because Im a gold player and I can pretty much just hard carry. I simply dont see a way where a bronze/silver player could actually carry an entire team if they aren't _that _much better than the division they're in (but still decent enough that they actually do deserve to climb a rank or two)
Its kind of unfortunate honestly, and really not that fair to lower elo players.
However, people in like gold/plat+ really have no right to say their teams are holding them back, because its not that often that they'll have a teammate thats simply there because they were elo boosted, so if they can't climb its pretty much their fault.
BluePolarizer1 votesI'm mid plat. I'm not good enough to be diamond. However I'm good enough to see bronze/silver/gold mistakes. A friend of mine was stuck in bronze 5 for 2 years. I played with him, taught him how to animation cancel on Hecarim, taught him the basics of positioning and strategy as a fighter/tank, and suddenly, he rises from bronze 5 to bronze 2 in 1 day. That's just animation cancelling and basic strategy... nothing big.
Nobody is truly held back by their teams. Just get better.

This is so true. I myself jumped into ranked too early, and got pub stomped by the others. All I did was get better and learn in non - ranked modes. Now, I'm climbing my way up, with a 65% win rate for the last 20 games.
S2C2Xd9KOy1 voteslmao completely true. Honestly anyone who wasnt been playing multiple seasons and isn't like at least diamond still has really no clue what the fuck they're doing
Waygzh1 votesIf you think Diamonds know what they're doing then I have some sad things to tell you...
dEAdbUs1 votesThey just abuse OP champs. Read bio of any pro - they were maining 1 or 2 strong champions, and started to learn other champions only when they reached very high elo.
lIIIlllIIIIllI1 votesTrue.
psychogames1 votesthat I agree with in this game you will always learn something never think you know everything.I have PTSD so I outburst allot but the best trick for me was going to aram. I have played that constantly 12-18 hours a day for almost 3 years and have learned most champions and how they can handle vs others that way.we just started going back to rift this season but once I get use to the map again it will be interesting to see what I learn next.
ZergReap1 votesIf someone is actually trying to improve and taking the game seriously then you are right. Considering yourself good is being complacent and you will remain "good" instead of becoming "amazing". Underestimating/overestimating opponents is also not going to help. Some pros play with names off to help them mentally, so it makes them feel like they are playing against a 
instead of playing versus doublelift.
