Hi guys, I have played from bronze 4 up to plat 3 elo. I was also in a high plat 5v5 team.
I'm willing to answer any questions to players who wish to climb in the elo ladder but feel frustrated or stuck. I'm not a pro player or anything but im top 5% in the rankings so hopefully my advice helps you climb a tier or two. Also, dont ask me for ADC advice. Im trash adc.

Ridiculous question. Mash them together and fetch a spoon of course...
FarRockBF1 votesWere you a smurf?
TyWdtSHg1K1 votesNo I was placed in bronze after promos. I have an EUW account which is silver but I use it to screw around/play with friends and not seariously
disregardable1 votesHow long were you in Bronze? Let me guess, 3 days.
TyWdtSHg1K1 votesBronze 10-20 games. Silver took a bit longer, 40 ish games. Gold was the real slow elo to get out of
disregardable1 votesSo how can you claim to be able to offer advice to Bronze players? I mean, I've played more games in Bronze than you played in Bronze and Silver combined. I haven't even played much.
TyWdtSHg1K1 votesIf I was stuck in bronze, my advice on climbing out of bronze would be point less.
Because I climbed out of it, I can offer you advice on how to climb out of bronze.
disregardable1 votesWell no, you didn't climb out of it. Your skill was already better than that of Bronze players when you started, hence getting out almost instantly. Getting out of Bronze is about improving as a player. If I was just already better than my opponents, I wouldn't be in Bronze.
Unslaadfel1 votesHow do you keep a high winrate? What happens if two lanes feed, How do you react? What lane and champion do you main, that helped you climb ELO?
Does champion matter or is it knowledge of the game?
TyWdtSHg1K2 votes-You can only keep a high winrate if: 1- you're on a win streak 2- you're playing at an elo (typically) below your true skill. In any other case the system will match you with players that are skilled enough so your win rate is 50%.
Playing as top -------if bot jungle and mid feed, the chances of winning are slim to none -----If bot lane feeds, try to not let that feeding affect the rest of your team. In many cases, a feeding bot lane causes jungler and even mid to feed as well. Then everyone gets frustrated and surrenders. ------If mid feeds only, that should not be a big deal if you're playing a tanky top ( I main nasus) ------If jungle feeds, try to not let it affect lanes. Deal with a fed jungler and ward well so he doesnt fck ur lane up as well.
Playing as jungler ------before the game, lolnexus ur game. Try to gank lanes that look like they have a good KDA and seem like they naturally win their lane. ------ gank lanes where the enemy is pushing hard ------ be careful when ganking lanes where there any many enemy minions and enemy has IGNITE. In this case, there is a strong chance the gank will lead to a 1 for 1 trade. ------ I highly discourage ganking lanes that are losing hard, even if ur team flames you and begs for ganks. Ganking losing lanes only snowballs harder.
Playing as mid ----try to kill the enemy mid ----if that doesnt work, waveclear and roam bot (early game) ----if that doesnt work, roam top ----if you cannot get a roaming kill, ward the jungle and roam there ----worst case scenario, farm up mid and pray.
TyWdtSHg1K2 votesAlso, I used warwick, katarina and ap tristana to get out of bronze/silver.
For gold/plat i used nasus mostly, also udyr and gragas
Awestruk1 votes+1, I'd like some tips about mechanics, and a teacher if anyone has time. Also, I'm not great at timing activated items.
TyWdtSHg1K1 votesMechanics highly depends on the roles that you main.
I have good mechanics top yet im trash ADC.
Having a good mouse and keyboard helps a lot.
For activated items, If you have and use them, just repeat to yourself MUST USE ACTIVATED ITEMS multiple times so that it gets in ur head. Works for me

I main Malzahar, and velkoz and twitch
TyWdtSHg1K1 votesfor twitch you want to always be all the way at the end of teamfights.
If no one is able to get to you in a teamfight (assasins etc), then you can easily penta the enemy team with a proper ult.
Velkoz and Malz I dont know how to play
Krully1 votesi usually play tanky top, shen and cho.
any tips?
TyWdtSHg1K1 votesdont play shen, play cho
Raemnant1 votesWhy not play them though? Currently, Shen is one of my favorite top laners, along with garen, though I play Shen more in the jungle than top
TyWdtSHg1K1 votesproblem with shen is that he is very defensive and can snowball ONLY if u have other guys in ur team doing dmg. Its near impossible to solo carry as shen since he doesnt do much DMG.
We say money is king. Well in this game, damage is king.
Jashiwat1 votesHello there. I sent you a friend request in game, I was wondering if you could teach me how to split push properly.
