How to get out of silver trash?

Wolf Queen·9/6/2015, 6:49:03 AM·2 votes·1,293 views

How does anyone get out of this trash elo? I make calls that i know will work and no one follows. I cant team push a lane if the team doesnt follow, i cant bait baron if people dont follow, i cant initiate fights if no one follows up and im just 1v5 and then they all blame me even though they stand there. I can feed one of my lanes 3-4 kills early and they still lose lane. Even a draven. I take the kills myself and then all they can say is "gg report this troll jungler taking my kills". I can single handily win the game and they do nothing but scream in all chat "report this troll noct hes so bad" even though i just single handily took both inhibs both nexus towers and the nexus itself fully by myself. At the end of the game they report me? Honestly i dont know what to do. Winning the game for them isnt even good enough. Is there some secret to getting out of this elo? Can someone please help tell me what is the secret to getting out of silver? They wont follow calls, they lose lane no matter how much i feed them, they rage at me for taking objectives, i just dont understand what to do anymore ive run out of ideas. If you would like to take the time to watch videos of me play to see what i can do better go here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxEHkpsMRklXbC4GxcMgrmw/videos

You're not stuck here. You belong here. You need to improve your gameplay to climb the ladder. That's how the elo system works.

I'm stuck here too, and usually it's one of my teammates bad judgement call or being out of position that loses me games. There's few games where I really feed, even though there are times where games get so out of hand that trying to do anything does nothing but tank your existing KDA. I think a lot of the problem is that most people think they're great because they're no longer in Bronze. I've read and seen videos of people talking about this and how each elo bracket's mentality is, and it's actually pretty spot on. Most people said that you have to carry, but most times that's not enough to win a game. Although I hate this elo, it is where I am at and probably where I will end this season, sadly. What I am trying to do now is focus on more team carry champs, like Wukong, Rek'Sai and Kassadin. Where I can go in and deal a lot of damage so that, no matter how bad my team is, they can at least kill people from half health and cc'd. The games I win are because of good team fight champions, and the games I lose are games that snowball so fast you really can't do much, even with a good team fight. This is just the reality of the game.

You... don't like to buy wards ?

You also seem to have some horrible back timings.

You also don't like to counter jungle when the opportunity arises, but instead you wait in that brush for minions to pass instead of taking gromp / krugs.

Referring to your nocturne top game where you only warded twice, swept twice and would go back just to get a long sword / vamp sceptre when you could have pressured other objectives.

Yes you carried that game, but that only kidda works when you are paired with enemies weaker than you.

That game, your team mates would ward alot and they wouldn't, so you were able to catch them out of position. If it was the reverse, what would you do? There will be games that are like that.

Also pings before you gank would be nice. It provides good communication, alerts them so they can follow up on your ganks (referring to the Sandra mid tower dive), or you could have typed in something like "push the lane" so xerath can clear the minions and land a stun easier, instead of having to reposition awkwardly. So maybe a bit too hasty on that gank.

It sounds like you succeed when you can be the leader of the team and call objectives. My advice is this: a little bit of good will goes a long way. If you earn your team's trust and help them out early on in the game, they will be much more receptive to you later on when it is important for you to be making calls. Things like warding for other lanes, using teleport to gank bottom, and being generally cheerful by congratulating your teammates when they do well and thanking the jungler for ganks are great ways to gain the favor of your team.

If you want to do some hands-on work with me I enjoy coaching and just generally helping out other players. Feel free to add me in-game.
