I'm so bad at League

God of War 0934·Oct 5, 2015·2 votes·920 views

I wish I knew where to start... I make horrible decisions all of the time, I'm too aggressive even in lane, I miss about 20% of my cs even when free farming (probably more)... the only thing I have going for me is that I put as many wards down as I can, and I can team fight fairly well. I make one mistake and I'm garbage I guess. It would be okay if it was one or two of my team, but its the whole team usually. It seems like at this point I either play a game and get serious toxic levels from the rest of the team, or uninstall..

You seem to at least understand that you're doing bad. Most people won't even admit it! But seriously, you understand that you make bad decisions so now you can start making better ones. My tips for you...

Chase enemies less, push turrets more- I see this WAY too much. Chasing can be good but in moderation. If you spend all your time chasing after an enemy you could; get ganked, die by turret, and certainly lose a lot of lane push and cs.
Last hit Last hit Last hit- People REALLY underestimate cs. More cs = more money. I know how hard it can be to last hit but trust me when I say it's a very handy skill to have. Make it a goal to last hit every single minion in a wave. If you don't do it, try the next wave. You can practice last hitting very easily in the custom game mode as well.
Play more safely- You said you play too aggressively. So, play safer! That's all there is to it! I completely understand, however, how it feels to try playing safe but failing at it. So here are some tips. The lane is pushing up the enemy turret? Unless you've warded around the jungle, just let the minions poke at it. You don't always have to attack the turret when the lane pushes. Know when to back off and use the time to go take a buff, roam, gank, or shop.
Poke at the enemy- Playing champs like lux and kennen really taught me this. Use your spells to simple poke at the enemy you're in lane with. For example, I like the throw my thundering shuriken at the enemy just to mark him. I then use electric surge and that takes a good piece of health. Whittling down your enemies like this helps a bunch for diving them and finishing them off! Not to mention it helps your jungler gank more effectively.
Scare the enemy away- Use the previous tip about poking them and getting their health down. Or, use something more devastating. As Veigar, I like to pop my ult on the half health enemy well aware that it will not kill them. Even though it doesn't kill them, they are now DANGEROUSLY low. This will make them back and give you time to push and cs. But watch out for ganks, the enemy might ping for help when they back

These are just a few tips that I picked up on. Hope they help!

Those are amazing tips but let me throw one more at you. Yes, you'll probably screw up something you believe should have been easy (miss an ult, accidentally autoing a minion instead of the champion with 14hp, etc...) People WILL get mad and probably rage and blame you for things, even if you didn't do anything. I used to let it bother me, but frankly, the moment somebody says something rude, even if it's true, mute them. It lets you just see them as some faceless, opinion-less ally and also allows you to focus on your own gameplay.

If you see this happening to someone else, suggest the victim mute them too and probably do the same yourself. The less time you (and your teammates) spend typing and venting frustration the better. Raging at teammates literally does nothing but make the madder and play worse.

I'm not accusing you of raging/being toxic! Just letting you know that muting helps more than you might think. Good luck out there!

Every game focus on adding something into your kit. Whether it be focusing on cs, or not getting caught, whatever it is! Actively think about it and work on making it better, when you get close to mastering that add something else to your kit. Don't make the same mistakes twice. If something feels wrong it probably is. Buy wards. Don't be an idiot.

Your name suits your mindset lol. Thank you for the advice, it's a different way of thinking than I have been. This game IS really about knowledge of the game isn't it

Those players you play with are as terrible and toxic as they type their words.

Try playing AP champions that have high damage (i.e Anivia, Cassiopeia, Lissandra, Orianna). They all easily farm and will help you over the long run.

After taking a look at your match history I dont blame them. You seem to be incapable of not feeding. Here's a quick way to get better: every game, try to be the guy with the least about of deaths. Do this for about 20 games or so. If you cant accomplish having the least amount of deaths there is no hope for you.
