How to carry the freakin High Silver ranks

AxlStream·5/5/2015, 5:33:37 AM·1 votes·4,520 views

I don't know if it's only me but I'm stuck at Silver 2 0 LP. It seems that no matter what role I play, I don't have any control over the fact of win or lose. On my last 5 games I did anywhere neutral to extremely well and I still couldn't influence my games to a positive result. The main reason I see is that someone always feeds a higher threat. Aka a Riven that's 15/5 or a Fizz that's 11/3 or maybe it's a Swain that's so fed he's unkillable. If you check my match history I have not done anything horribly bad throughout my games yet it seems that losing is my ONLY option.

I don't want to accuse Riot of trying to sink my rank but now it's pretty damn freaking hard to see anything else but that. It's like every game the objective of my teammates is to feed 10 kills over each to the enemy team. Of course they don't surrender making these games go as long as 40 minutes of wasted time.

tl;dr I can't climb, clearly better than teammates I receive, I need help to reach that next level.

Play OP meta champions
Look at what mistakes you make, don't worry about what your team is doing
FARM,FARM,FARM--Don't just stand mid while waves of cs are dying and you clearly aren't about to team fight
Yes my highest is only Plat 1, I am not the greatest. But my friend told me you cannot get out of "elo hell" cause of bad teammates. I lost 60 games got into bronze 4 to show you could. This account is since Plat 5 in two weeks.

Just a quick note: teamfights are typically the deciding factor in most games. So if you want to contribute to a win, you typically need to be involved in those teamfights.

You frequently have low kill participation, you might be spending a bit too much time farming or trying to splitpush.

I see a lot of low damage tanky champs in that list. Its really hard to carry by tanking. That requires someone else to do good damage and the whole team to move together. The latter is a challenge on any rank...

lol you have trouble with silver?

the trolls in plat 5 will make you cry mommy.

Just had a malphite who only ulted to escape teamfights, no fking joke. Also had a Vayne try to steal my red, so I smited it, and she said "OK AFK at red until it respawns". This was at 7:30 game time.

Its basically noted that if you want to climb in this bullshit ranked system you have to 1v5 carry. I used Cassiopiea to get to gold- really, I spammed her like 60 out of 80 games. Took her top and mid and rolled well enough to get the roles I wanted. You just have to play a champion that has advantages taht not a lot of champions have. In her case, insane damage while remaining mobile enough to kite. Other champs like Annie or Fizz can carry on damage alone. I don't recommend bot lane since you only have maybe 35-40% of the say in what goes on down there- if you do play ad a lot you can ensure that the marksman is hitting the tower instead of CSing though. Jungle or solo lane mate. Split pushing champs work really well also. Trynd and Udyr mostly.

It could be worse honestly. I'm gold 5 and playing with silver 2's and 3's
