Tips to climb out of Bronze?

Griefer·2/10/2015, 6:17:57 AM·1 votes·1,656 views

I finished my provisional and ended up in Bronze 2. I was then promoted to Bronze 1 but then now I'm in Bronze 3. Usually I believe I can be a good player, but I find myself going on tilt because of my teammates and their actions. How can I be a better player? I main jungle, mainly Lee Sin and Pantheon.

Also there has been a massive packet loss problem for me lately which is causing some of my games. Is there a fix for that, and is anybody else getting it?

I'd Suggest not maining lee sin jungle unless you're Plat or higher. in my opinion.

Since you're a jungler, here's what you do:

  1. Gank mid lane

  2. Gank mid lane again

  3. Gank mid lane again

  4. Pitch a tent in mid lane

  5. Watch their mid laner ragequit

  6. ???

  7. Profit LP

Your best bet is to main a bursty champ like Kat, akali, yi, etc and get good with them. These champs are tough to deal with cause there power has very high spikes at certain levels that make them very hard to deal with unless you're against a good player.

Tip: if you get two or three kills on your lane opponent say something about it in all chat in an attempt to cause the other team to shit talk their teammate and make him tilt.

ok for the first part i suggest that you try and remain as calm as you can no matter what your teammates do you should be thinking something along the lines of "it's okay we can still win", though that might not be the best advice its what helped me out a lot. now the second part about packet loss i recommend before you start going into ranked start off with a few bot or normal games and see if you get these problems, if you do dont play ranked that day. thats all ive got hope it helps

Jungling is hard in that elo, especially in solo queue. Vi and Jarvan are by far your best bet for junglers at the moment. Seems like Shaco would be a good pick too, but do not become one of those people who only plays shaco. xd

Making others tilt is sort of childish in my opinion. However, I also am in bronze but I find it very easy to carry from the jungle with Aatrox He has fantastic sustain in the jungle with his w negating the need to ever back. If you go golemns, red, wolves, blue, gromp, then the rift scuttler (speaking in terms of red side, switch for blue side) then you can easily dragon at level 4 assuming you have 2 points in your w. His ganks are average to really good depending on how much attention the opponents were paying. You can solo dragon every time it comes up. I recommend building him a bit like a bruiser. My build usually goes in this order: item 3710 item 3153 item 3047 item 3075 item 3143 item 3065 Item 5 and 6 are sometimes switched depending on the team comp. But it is amazing how easily you can jump in to fight people. Plus the devourer stacks really boost your damage more than you can imagine. I just finished with a match where I fought Zed Teemo Pantheon Ezreal in a 1v4. Granted I was a little fed and yes I did win but this was also a match where my team was behind.

What that paragraph is basically saying is, do things a bit out of the norm for a bronze player. Do things they wouldn't expect. In addition, no game is ever lost until the nexus is destroyed so instead of berading teammates, offer help or keep their spirits up. Odds are they know they screwed up and will be only feeling and playing worse if you point it out to them.

That being said, I will say this. Some games are beyond your control. I've had games where people came in just to feed and they walked to every lane to feed a kill. You can't do anything about that and you just got to let it go. Can't win those.

As I mentioned with the dragon above, objectives are more important than kills. The more objectives you can secure, the better your team will be. Turrets global gold helps so many people you don't even know how important it is. I've backed and realized I was 100 short to buy and item and then someone destroys a turret and I can then buy. Objectives> kills.

Don't try to go for a full build. If you see and opening and your team has a lead, pressure at all times. Keep lanes pushed. Don't let up. I've finished games before without even building a 4th item. Sometimes only half a 3rd.

TL;DR

Do the unexpected. Encourage others. Just Breath. Objectives>Kills Finish games quickly.

Just to add on I am currently 12-3 with Aatrox

Stats: 97 kills to 74 deaths and 84 assists Averaging about 2.20 turrets a game with 6.5 kills, 4.9 deaths, and 5.6 assists.

It is possible

Everyone have been commenting saying that JarvanIV andVi are the most solid junglers so I'll give them a shot.

Another very influential role in YoloQ is mid. What are some solid mid laners?
