Hello, im a bronze pleb looking for some advice... what is it that seperates me from a diamond player? As much as I'd love to get better at this game, I honestly have no idea what im doing wrong in most cases, or how to play more efficiently. I know im obviously terrible at this game, as I am still in bronze after 100+ ranked games, but what is it exactly thats keeping me here? If anyone is interested in helping a bronze pleb such as me, I'd love to show you some replays of my games and whatnot.. Anyway, have a nice day ! P.S: Ive noticed recently that i seem to be going backwards now.. I started out in bronze 3, climbed to bronze 1, and now im back at bronze 2 with 0 lp.. Im not sure why this is happening either xD

match ups, ok cs in hard match ups and good cs in easy match ups, few deaths, team oriented while still being able to do things solo, positioning to not get caught out in bad spots, the ability to dodge skill shots and land them, objective focus over kills, map awareness, knowledge of most abilities, keeping track of cooldown times and more.

it's likely you have a bit of all of these, but diamond players are overall better. just keep working on a bit of everything. one thing you can do is get lower deaths while still have as much impact on the game as you can. just watch for your deaths and why you died, and don't blame your team.

The biggest and most notable difference is CS. CSing should be your top priority in lane, minions give a lot of gold. Someone with 3 kills and 20 CS has less gold than someone with no kills and 80 CS. Another thing is knowing the difference between "not losing" and winning. Most players can "not lose" in the sense that they won't give up kills early and will stay even with the enemy. But that's not the same as winning. Making winning plays is very important. Champions like Annie and Ahri have great playmaking ultimates. You can easily kill an opponent with a stun Tibbers. Sitting on these ultimates when you have the opportunity to roam or kill your lane opponent is wasting a playmaking opportunity. So knowing when you can make a play and doing so will win you more games than if you just played safe.
