I'm consistently having this weird pattern where I'll roflstomp the 1st game of promos but end up losing hard from people feeding in lanes I'm not at.
So like, I don't do bad, but certainly not spectacular.
I think it's been like 5 times already. I don't know what's up. I have Janna and Nami as support, Karma/Ahri/Lulu as mid, Irelia as top/jg, Ashe as Adc. I rarely get games that isn't support or mid because I main those.
Aeko1 votesSo what's your question? Do you require advice on getting out of gold IV?
If you can blame your teammates, or say something along the lines of , "I do good, but my teammates suck". Then that means you have the time to get better and carry yourself.
Some general tips.
-Improve your cs. -Make better calls -Dont fight pointlessly -Supporting in gold is similar to watching bronzies play; it gives you cancer. -Main a champ with potential to carry. I'm not talking about maining thresh and making wonderful plays. What's the point of landing a god hook if your team decides to watch. Instead play someone who can make plays as a carry. -Gold is the chillest of elos. Its where people have tried to climb the ladder, but realize that they are not the best.
Wakamune1 votesI think my general problem is either I don't get my adc fed enough to compensate for other laners, I don't know when to roam, or I don't know how to make calls when behind. More than often I break even with whoever I lane against with. That's what I meant when I say "not spectacular".
If they are really ahead, it's hard to secure dragons and it's hard to go out there and keep places warded since I risk dying.
Aeko1 votesIt's no problem if you don't get your ADC fed enough. Breaking even is much better. Laning phase is important but it doesn't make or break games. Instead the teamfights is where your team needs to shine. After I climbed to Diamond on my main, I quickly got a smurf from a friend who doesn't play league anymore (Bronze V), and in a matter of months climbed up to plat. Even at the plat elo, people still make mistakes during teamfights.
Roaming depends on what you based your team on and how the game is going. If it is still early, and your lanes are doing fine, then why roam? Only time you should be roaming as a support is to possibly make a play midlane or on the enemy jungle. Besides this, it is important to ROTATE. Especially as support, you need to keep your eye on the map. If your jungler gets invaded, quickly ping it, and move to help him. Don't sit in lane and watch him die. If there is missing enemy zed. Tell your mid laner to follow him. If your mid laner is capable of doing so, and you have a play in mind, quickly rotate up and cut him off. These are common sense things that you should be able to do.
I agree with you that when you're behind the game gets harder. But each game is different and no one is able to tell you what you should do. Just improve the way you play. Be more aware and take calculated risks. Know your exact limits and hopefully you will get good teams who think the same way you do.
