How do I get out of silver?

But you know, the obvious answer to that question is just to get better, and sometimes, no matter how hard I try, I keep experience marathons of devastating losses — be it my fault, or teammates.

So I guess the other question, how does one really win a ranked game? I'm not going to say 'carry' because sometimes, you just cant get put into that carry role because someone else goes into it. I can play mid lane ok, infact I can do everything ok, but that's really it — I'm just ok.

So to further narrow the point — how can I improve? I keep making mistakes that I thought I told myself I'd never make again. Like going into that doomzone between midlane turret and the jungle wall, or using a gap closer near an enemy tower when someone like darius can just pull me in and fuck me for life.

So I guess that's it. There's tons of resources that I've tapped into, but I'm just throwing this out there for desperation's sake.

And last game, I had a yasuo that pretty much told a player to go kill himself. I feel that sometimes, I can just blame players for a loss due to attitude — but only in addition to my own mistakes.

Silver IV at 0lp right now. Oh well.

One last thing. If there's any high elo players out there that wouldn't mind coaching me, that would be swell.

farm better, trade in lane better, better map awareness (stronger roams rather than afk'ing out of lane for 2 minutes), better itemisation, better understanding of lane and team composition match ups

boom, climbing begins

Check Freelo.Gg and see where you need to improve in. It's kinda reliable. Also watch some of your replays and see what mistakes you made and try not to make them again. I was in a game yesterday where I almost single handedly carried a game, but I made a few too many mistakes at the end and it cost me some LP.

This game is all about improving, no matter how long or grueling it might take.

Hey there, so I'm silver 3 right now after coming back to solo queue from a short hiatus where I was at S4 and 0 LP and played as only Braum to go on a 9 game winning streak to get to S3 at 17LP. Now I sat there wondering how I did that and thinking back on it I can name a few things. I warded for my life since sometimes my teammates may not ward as much as I. Also when a teammate in mid or top died, they would be more cautious until they received a gank or another form of an advantage. Strength in numbers and by this I mean that my wards helped my team pick up alot of kills in the river due to someone roaming with no vision. I called shots as well when I was Braum saying when it was a good time to split push, baron, dragon, towers, etc. Also during the loading screen I already plan my tactics. A good example would be when I'm vs a leona plus any adc. I know Leona has to all in to get me so I wait for her to engage and I can tell she and her adc are not just going for a poke but a full on fight. While when I was vs a Sona my adc and I at lvl 2 had to back because of heavy poke but I knew this would be the case so when we reached level 6 each we went all in and secured our advantage. All of this played a part in my winning streak. Especially in one match where our jungle was afk for 15 minutes and my adc and I had 6 kills in bot by the time he came back and top and mid each had 1 and this was with their team having a shyvana who couldnt get us due to our warding. Anyway I hope this helped and good luck!

Well I got out of my 0lp perdicament. Won a couple games. ^^

And a lot of these tips help, but just to note, I am still open to getting coached for the mid lane.

So if anyone wants to help me, please do add me. I can broadcast to twitch and you can see my live gameplay, or we can do it some other way.
