I'm a mid main that go to Diamond 5 from gold 5 in a month and half. Took a 4 month hiatus before that climb. Edit: I'm not doing this to show off my ranking. I genuinely want to help others to climb by giving advice and I feel like my suggestions has some meaning because of my credentials.
Flaherty1 votesWhat kind of reactions are you waiting for in your lab?
Peakes1 votesI'm dealing with distillation of an unknown substance and collecting 20-25 drops in each vial and recording the temperature when it happened.
Bdoom1 votesWhy mid lane? It's such an over saturated role, same with ADC.
Peakes1 votesI actually enjoyed adc in season 3 and beginning of season 4. But beginning of season 4 was the start of the adc role having a really difficult time being relevant. So, I decided to move to a different role. Also not having to rely on another person (support) is a bonus for me, especially in solo queue when there's almost no synergy. I didn't like top lane much because I didn't click with much of the Champions that go top and I suck at winning trades with those said champions. Then I just clicked really well with certain mid champs such as Syndra, Ahri, Orianna, Ziggs, and many more. I also feel like mid lane has much presence throughout the game. You can make any lane in your team's favor by ganking them, top or bot. To me, it's the most enjoyable lane to play.
Bdoom1 votesWhy not play jungle assassins then like rengar/kha?
Peakes1 votesI feel like jungle kha zix or rengar is a hit or miss. You usually get fed or starve, especially as kha zix. With rengar, you can probably kill the adc before you die despite your gold deficit (unless you're completely broke). Also, I'm not a very good jungler. I never was able to clear camps fast enough. The only champ I did well as a jungler was elise.
Bdoom1 votesPeakes! I forgot to say, if your interested in making a guide I have a website (sort of new, only around 10 people so far) but if you wanna post a guide it would be cool. http://lolfansite.ml <-- If you don't want me to post link on your thread I will remove it.
Peakes1 votesI'll take a look into it. I wouldn't mind writing some helpful tips on my spare time.
LCK Logic1 votesdo you have any tips for me im stuck in gold v i win then i loose i usally always win lane and get objectives like tower and drakes also in teamfights i get good positionning but i just dont seem to win and i really wanna get into diamond so bad..... ive been playing for 5 years now and i feel like shit because im only gold in 5 years....
Peakes2 votesI can only help you so much with the data given to me through lolking and op gg. So, this is my advice to you based off of those sources. You seem to die more than you're supposed. From looks of your lolking record, you seem to fill roles but play Top, Mid, ADC the most out of the 5 roles. Your average KDA in your past 20 RANKED games is 6.6 / 6.2 / 7.5. Try to make that half the deaths and your kill contribution is 50%, make it a bit higher. As far as build goes, you seem to be on the right path not gonna touch much there. Your CS seems to be lacking. Your goal should be 70 CS at 10 minutes and 150 CS at 20 minutes. Lastly, even if you have the mechanics of a platinum or even low diamond, you need to know how to capitalize on your enemy's mistakes. i.e. Enemy over extends? Ace them and proceed to take as many objectives (towers, dragons, barons, etc.) as possible without over extending.
Hope this helps.
Peakes1 votesCurrently at work and got nothing better to do on my break. Still doing this. AMA. Expect delayed responses.
Peakes1 votesStill doing this.
Blue Collar Bear1 votesDo you main champions, or do you pick against the enemy team?
Peakes1 votesI pick my main champions over counter picks. Now, if the matchup is extremely difficult, I won't choose my main that gets dumpstered unless you are THAT confident. For example, I used to main Syndra when she wasn't so buggy and if the enemy team has a yasuo mid, this is a tough matchup for Syndra, I wouldn't go into that matchup. The sheer mobility is difficult, let alone his wind wall to cancel Syndra's ult. However, I decided to be cheeky a couple times and picked Syndra anyway despite the disadvantage I had only because I was very confident in my skills. I ended up defeating him (and other yasuos) with some ease. In any case though, I would choose someone that doesn't get super countered but also someone I am decent/good with. That is why you pick up 3 champions in a role to master, hopefully 3 champions that are different from each other for the most part.
NEVER pick a champion because they're considered "OP." Especially if you don't know how to play them or barely know their kit and limits.

I was just curious. I'm from silver and struggling to get into my Diamond promos. It seems the champions I play and the way I play them are losing their effectiveness.
Peakes1 votesFrom what I've gathered from your lolking, looks like you mainly play rengar. Perhaps the positioning of the people you target (probably adc or mid) is getting better which explains why rengar is losing his effectiveness. Doesn't mean he's not effective in general but if can't adjust then maybe it's time to pick up a different champion that's very favorable right now. Champions that use devourer would work (master yi especially), unless you don't like band wagoning. Ultimately, you're starting to settle in the Elo you deserve to be. I hope you can get to diamond and have better LP gains/loss than I did. I gained 15 and lost 20 and I really doubt it was my mmr.
Peakes1 votesI'm in lab again so, doing more AMA.
