The biggest tip I can ever give to get to plat+

Jigglypuff·Nov 13, 2014·6 votes·1,169 views

Play specific champions and play a bunch and I mean a BUNCH games with them. You could be like me and play on and off and want to have fun and play diff champs, but if you play a specific champ for 400+ games I would imagine anyone becoming plat+ and if you don't believe me go take a good look at people who have played X champion the most of all the summoner... the top 20 list and tell me that I'm not right lol.

There are instances where people play ranked so much and they don't play to learn, but just for lulz and that's some of the people who have 2k games a season and just play with friends duo in ranked for shits and giggles
Lastly don't get me wrong... if you think you like a certain champ and you play a bunch of games and think you are going to do nothing but win, you are sadly mistaken. I have understood that people play champs that they like, but really they could do so much better if they spammed a different champion because they are just naturally good at that champion.

5 of the top 6 morgana most played aren't even gold.

It's not about playing a champ over and over. It's about understanding your champion's limitations, which you can accomplish by playing that champion a lot. But in order to understand your champion's limitations, you also need to have balls and go out and make the plays. You can't always play like a wimp, or you can spam 3k urgot games and still be silver.

tl;dr it's not about spamming one champion over and over. it's about having the guts to go out there and truly understand how much you can get away with when playing your champ

That is true, however the majority of the matter is people do progress if they play a single champ that "CLICKS" for them... I seen a few of them who played some champions who it seemed like didn't click with them at all because of their stats.

I know for a fact if you have good internet connection and don't lose connection or any other problem similar you should be doing fine.

Lolking is deceiving because the # of games column accounts for all games, not just ranked. I have a friend in S2 who only plays kennen, but he never really plays solo queue ranked games.

I can definitely attest to what the OP is saying; I do best when I play a bunch of games in a row with the same champion (and its even better if its the same role).

I do agree with you on this, a few months back I learned how fun Wukong is, but my skills with him were, forgettable. But I kept playing him over and over, but not just to play him, but to find out what made me win lane, and what made me lose. And I now rarely lose lane with him and usually get fb. The biggest reason I didn't win the game enough when I mained him, was because I didn't roam close to enough, but a lot of games are pretty much instawin when I do. Play to find your champion's limitations, and that champion will quickly become VERY rewarding.

But that's soooo boring I just can't do it.

I've often thought if I stuck to one champ/role I could get further up the ladder, but I've come to the conclusion I'd rather just stay in gold and have fun playing a variety of champions then go super serious mode and master just a few.

Guess that's just me.

Everyone has their own path.

Yeah, I have to say I disagree as well. I prefer being able to use every champ pretty decently rather than a few at amazing levels. So instead of 10 champions at 90-100% potential, I can use every champ at around 60-70%. Lets me adapt to more situations, but thats just me.

This is my thought on that subject, I believe if you main X champ good enough you can adapt to just about every comp or counter and know how to play against them... I have seen this on high elo streams as well... it takes dedication.

I can attest to this. I got to plat by mainly only 4 champs. ( Annie Caitlyn Warwick Sion )

However, you can't just mindlessly play your games. You actually have to bother to learn what you do right and what you do wrong and continue to refine yourself over the course of every game.

That's true.

I want to main a champion. Like Fabby, with 1k+ games with Draven. Seeing someone playing a champion for 2000 times is really crazy, though.

So, I want to main Nami. Even though sometimes my team says "we need tank, fk u u picked nami gg no tank", I just feel like that's the only thing I can play to win. Ask me to play tank support and I pick Thresh? rofl we're gonna lose b/c I can't even land a hook and the ADC will rage at me; if I play Nami, I am certain that I will know what to do.

Sadly, I have (minor) commitment issues. I used to main Ezreal (when I first started playing), then I mained Twisted Fate, Jinx, Caitlyn... To Nami. The reason I stop playing my supposedly "mains" is because I find out their cons. Yea, it's like I dump my GF because she picks her nose. Everyone picks their nose; every champion has its cons. I don't know how to "live with" the champion's cons. I just feel like I want to try another champion that is "perfect"... I'd like to spam Nami games but what if I get bored of her? And I feel so shallow because I play "OP champs" only. Yes, I'd rather play Lucian and Graves than Jinx because they both have dashes.
