Heyas, I'm rather new to playing ranked and i need some help.
http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-history/NA1/202671008?matchType=2 - This would be my Current Match history. (Please look from 8/1/12 Cait and up, The others were from a long time ago.)
If anyone has any tips, tricks or guidance it'ed be great.
Carrying implies that you're more skilled than the rank you're currently in so that it makes up for your teammate's mistakes. I think the word you meant to use was "climb".
Here are some tips to climb out of bronze:
Learn to ward. If you're a mid, top or adc main, upgrade your yellow trinket. Also, buy a pink when convenient. As a support and jungle main, I ward constantly, at least 10-15 per match as jungler and easily 35-40 via sightstone as a support.
Capitalize on opponent mistakes and opportunities to take objectives. If your team gets two kills and all of your mates are up, dont back to buy that upgrade. Push a tower. Also, if you see that there's 4 opponents bot, for instance, and there's no time for you to get there to help, push another lane.
Know your main champs and when they have powerspikes. As a support, I try to push for an early level 2, especially if we didn't have to help leash and the enemy bot did. If you and your bot lane partner hit two while the other team is still level one, and you land your skill shots, it puts serious pressure on them.
These are just a few examples off the top of my head, which hurts, from too much IT work today. GL.
I wish I knew friend. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-history/NA1/216294878?matchType=2 Its not fair at all.
Always think to yourself:
"If both my team and the enemy team ADC are taken out, who wins this teamfight?"
If you win the teamfight if both ADCs are taken out, you MUST dive the enemy ADC and do not waste abilities peeling for your own ADC. Your own ADC is clearly useless, so why peel for them? Kill theirs, then win the 4v4.
If the enemy wins the teamfight if both ADCs are dead, you MUST peel for your own ADC. Do not waste abilities engaging or diving, it is too risky. Just peel and let your ADC take care of the rest.
you are not doing that bad
http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-history/NA1/212345456 its pretty easy tbh i was bronze 3 two weeks ago i just watched mid laner streams and jungler streams it helped me
upgrade your ward at lvl 9, or at least before lvl 11. you can reach the 3 ward cap just through upgraded yellow trinket
learn to play from behind and call shots. when you're losing telling your team to stay in base, don't chase, and don't leave turret range is amazing, because eventually the enemy will get impatient and try to fight what may as well be a 6v5.
mute anyone being negative and don't insult or rage at anyone. if what you want to say isn't a strategy, advice (not negative criticism), or a joke (not at your teammate's expense, this is to raise moral) don't say it at all.
remind your team that raging at eachother achieves nothing. so panth tried to 1v3. calling him a moron isn't helping. reminding him not to try to 1v3 is helping. normally someone else will see you trying to stop the argument and jump in to help you.
NEVER SURRENDER. i had a game where we were losing in every way possible, especially bot lane. then our adc got zoned out of a teamfight by their adc and supp, and while we won the 4v3, he somehow got a double kill and started to carry hard. there's no real explanation for how we turned it, we just did. so een when you have no idea how you could possibly win, press no anyway. those low elo throws are real 0_o
stick to just 1 or two main roles, and one or two main champions for every role. i main udyr/panth jung and brand mid. for top i have garen/udyr, adc is ashe/jinx, and supp is brand/taric. because i only play like 6 champs, i know those champs better than most people at my elo will know their champs, so i can win matchups i'm not even supposed to win. sivhd can get a pentakill with katarina playing with one hand; he seriously sits there on stream with his webcam on screen and an apple in his hand deleting people left and right (can we turn this into a 'nerf kat' thread instead?). he also one shots enemies with ap ezreal.
play when kids won't be online. as a college student, i have the luxury of playing late at night or in the middle of the day, so i can tell you there's a difference between playing at 10am and 10pm. i went on ranked hiatus for two weeks after two of the most toxic games i've played all season made me realize the kids were on spring break.
Don't play after a hard loss. i have a friend who will drop like 3 divisions in a week because he thinks he doesn't go on tilt.
kills mean nothing after laning phase. if you can get a kill or a turret, go for the turret. i see so many people get an ace then recall, and i just spam the pings like WTF THE TURRET IS RIGHT THERE! the kill may turn in to a death or two anyway because these people refuse to ward. also learn to leave your teammates behind, because a single death is better than a double kill.
watch some gameplay from pros, especially people who explain what they're doing and why they do it.
honestly, unless your time is limited, you should play a lot more normals than ranked. normals is how you learn to do the things you need to apply in ranked.
there's probably a lot more, but seriously, it's really just about experience. if you have a lot of time and no skill, you'll eventually be better than someone with a lot of skill and no time. you look on youtube and see people like keyori just derping around playing every champ a-z and dominating with 90% of them; and it's not because keyori is godlike, it's because uberdanger carries him he plays every day.
