Few things that have made me win more games

Just thought I'd share!

Win your lane, you can't control your teammates play but you can control yours. -How do you win your lane? Try to counterpick, CS well, ward, don't die, get tower.
After you win lane roam/keep pushing/call for objectives -Ex. When I ADC and I see an opening for Drag I'll call the jungler over.
Play every role at least 2-3 champs. You won't always get your preferred champion and role. I've learned to Jungle, Mid, Support and ADC by putting many games into each one. I personally suck at top, but having 4 roles to pick from is very helpful.
Don't rage at anyone, but you can politely suggest to the feeding top laner " hey, let him push the lane so we can help you." "Farm under tower, play safe."
Can't win every game, but you can improve every game.
Actively ward, and buy pinks. There are many warding guides look one up and try to follow it. At low ELO a pink ward can last half a game easily.
If you like it, watch LCS. Honestly, it gives you a lot of insight on when to take objectives, build paths, meta champs. You can look up the game later and even see what runes they used etc. I don't suggest blindly following what a pro does, but it helps!

I think I've read these tips before, but I don't think you can repeat these enough. Especially, since I still see people crying about not getting their roles, not warding, not getting objetives, not CSing well, feeding actively etc. etc.

I myself try to put many of those things into play.

!. I'm a top/jungle main, so I can't really talk about winning the "jungle lane", as that depends on my team, but in top, I have the tendency to out CS my opponent in most games, even some games where they have the advantage. Granted, I play a lot of Garen. 2. Again with the Garen thing, I always rock the TP, so I can help allies with roam, or if I've reached the point that no single person on the enemy team can kill me, I hard push top. They have to allocate tons of resources to stop me, and I usually get out, often with a kill. Sometimes the best objective is sheer pressure. 3. I can play everything but adc. Please don't make me ADC, you will lose the game. 4. I try that, but then people think I'm raging and then the Riven leaves (because they always leave if not fed). 5. Indeed 6. oftentimes, in the jungle, I buy a pink on my first back along with a machete upgrade and some pots. Place the pink by one of my buffs, usually the one near dragon, and it lasts a while. That and upgraded trinket is so underestimated. 7. I do that often enough, though my mains never seem to show up (Garen top, Rammus jungle, Morg support, cough Full AP Nunu mid).

Awesome. The upgraded trinket is one I haven't implemented yet (I always forget it) but I'll try to make it a habit till it becomes standard.

Morg support is picked/banned a lot in LCS. Watch the recent UOL vs. CW (EU LCS). Their support (Edit. UOL) completely dominated as Morgana.

Well, 75% is a majority, and I wasn't saying everything I play is off mainstream.

I was liking you pretty well until you said you played Nunu. There really is no other champ who can be that thoroughly annoying without being oppressively overpowered.

Of course, I still love you because you upgrade your trinket and buy pink wards. People like you just make my sad support heart a little happier (until you play Nunu)!

I know I'm a giant asshole playing nunu anywhere outside of support.

If you jungle nunu, the enemy jungler ganks a lane and comes back to an empty jungle.

if you solo lane nunu, you can spam infinite snowballs and heals, while speeding up to dodge ganks. The reason it's not meta is because nunu has no carry potential. He essentially says, "this lane if mine. This person is getting no farm, they're getting no kills, I own this lane" but late game all full AP nunu can do is get a brush ult off (which has gotten me a game winning quadra kill. Enemy team heading to baron, I was in death bush, I get full charge ult off, jinx, zed, morg, and shaco all die with their mundo being at 1/3 hp. I was the only one on my team, and single handedly won the game off of that near ace. Yes I'm an asshole).

Go to na.lolesports.com, click the dropdown for leagues, choose NA LCS and you can see recent matches. When you click on a match, you'll see "player build and analysis."

Lee really isn't that strong right now, with tank junglers taking over the meta. Right now, the strongest junglers are sej, zac, rek'sai, and I can't think of others, but it's a mostly tank world right now.

Don't die, ward, and mute.

JimmyNtheKudosApr 7, 20151 votes

I think muting is good when a player is absolutely toxic, but other than that talking with your teammates can help!

Just played a game as support where I did everything right, my ADC did evreything right, we killed enemy bot lane in a double kill early game then did it again, yet we lost because top lane DCed for 10 minutes and let Rengar take our inhib during a splitpush. Rengar became a monstrous god of war thanks to all that freefarm. GG.

Like I said, you can't win every game, but you can improve every game. I've won 4v5s it's not always going to happen, but it can. Take the opportunity to learn from that game and apply it to the next so you can win!
