Help for carrying low elo

Revenix·10/15/2014, 11:05:34 AM·1 votes·1,163 views

Hello all, I've been n bronze I for about a month now and have reached my series 6 times but have lost every single game. I want silver more than anything but the teammates I keep getting seem to be good when im not in my series, but then decide to feed everytime i reach my series. Im not trying to sound cocky or anything, but I win lane every game at this elo, the people I'm matched with are just below my skill level. So after i get 3-4 kills in lane, the whole enemy team begins to camp my lane, and i start to fall off. Then late game, lets say for example im zed, i go in and delete the enemy ad carry, but since my team doesnt know how to peel or protect all 4 of the enemies just focus me and I die, then my helpless team dies because the carry is dead. What can i do to prevent always being targeted? Lose lane on purpose? Ive tried everything and the enemy team just always knows how to focus better than mine and I just want to get silver

If you can't kill the carry without doing yourself, then you shouldn't have went in yourself. Suiciding to trade for kills is bronze behavior. Waiting until it's safe to delete a champ and escaping out of it is the smart way.

If you were really that far ahead in lane you should have constantly roam and wreck the rest of their team bring zed isn't a 1v1 lane war. So playing an assasin and getting a kill isn't some big pat on the back because it's not a 1v1 game, it's how you user the assassin to disrupt the entire enemy team while not dying that will carry you out. This means that yes you ate just as bad as the people you play with, and you will be stuck there until you improve

Play in such a way that they cannot easily target you.

....... I know that's vague, but it's the truth. Ok, so from your example, you were playing Zed and you successfully killed their adc. That's a good start. As soon as you do, you probably need to get out, because your cooldowns are up and you have no energy, not to mention by now they all think of you as a big threat. So reactivate your R and suddenly you should be out of danger. If that's not an option for some reason, run away through the back of their team and find some nearby brush. If they chase you forever, your team can pick them apart from behind, and if they turn, you can reengage as soon as their cds are used.

That's some reasonably high skill requirement stuff to do, but in terms of the specific problem you talked about, that's the way you need to deal with it. If you're going to play assassins, you need to know how to drop enemy aggro in teamfights.

Here's the next thing though; you talk about how they start to camp your lane. That shouldn't be possible. After you get a couple kills, ESPECIALLY on an assassin like Zed, go kill a different laner. Shove your lane, then run bot and grab a double kill, and get your bottom lane and jungler to take dragon with you. Suddenly you've gone from having a personal advantage over your lane opponent to leading your entire team to having advantages.

If you are looking for a teacher/mentor I can be of some help. I try to give lessons whenever I have time. My thread <----

I'd help you out of your bronze matches into silver, but all u need to know is bronze doesnt take as much in hind sight. You can literally not even team fight to win. Everyone in bronze is clueless and just play 45+ mins games... The biggest thing to remember is not dying if you want to carry your games. You wont be able to carry if you're dead, so make safe plays, take objectives, win game. Ignore what everyone else is doing, but make suggestion what they can do to improve, ie wards.

Remember, objectives > kills.

Also if you want some free coaching, I found a place where we they some going on Saturdays via raffle. Its still a small community and a great way to learn from Diamond 1's spectating your games giving you advice. You can also watch others and learn from them. Anyways. Good luck n look forward to seeing you there if you stop by.

Your champ picks are way too random and all over the place. Narrow it down so you know the ins and outs of them. Probably ~30% of the losses could have been reduced by picking someone who can be useful instead of being "FIRST TIME XXXX!" then feed going 1-10-2.

While its good to know all the roles, just pick ~2-3 champs max per slot. Some can even overlap, like kayle mid, top, support & jungle.

Dont chase kills, shoving them out of lane is almost as good as killing them, suiciding for a kill never worth. If you're legitimately better the small advantages will add up and they shouldnt be able to kill you unless you let them.

EDIT - also when some low level noob team mate says "OP NASUS IS OPEN!" "BLITZ NOT BANNED" "GO JAX HE OP". Dont listen to them just because he saw some pro vid and thinks theyre broken as shit. If you cant use it comfortably, no point in picking it.

I can almost guarantee the reason they camp your lane is because you play so recklessly that the enemy jungler sees you as free kills, and he's right. If you're going in for a kill and don't know where the enemy jungler is, or where their bot or top are if they've vanished off the map, it's a mistake. You need to have vision or map awareness, knowing where they're likely to be, and not simply forget about it and hope it turns out for the best.

vision will prevent deaths and you falling off. 2. they shouldnt peel you as zed you are an assassin you have plenty of escapes yourself. 3. Roam when you kill your laner it will help keep your teamates in the game. 4. you could ward camps and pick off the jungler or enemies taking camps for extra gold this is especialy easy as an assassin like zed. Its not the teamates its you blaming your teamates wont get you to be better or help you climb. Doing these things will put you at a well advantage over all other mid lanes or any lane for that fact in that elo.
