How do I focus 1-2 champs without being bored to death

Valhalla Rising··4 votes·2,212 views

I want out of elo hell and I think grinding the same 1-2 champs will help my chances but I find it extremely hard to play the same champ even twice in a row.

no joke a bad taste enters my mouth and im like "I just did this"...

Find a champ that plays differently or must react differently to different situations.

Good example: Laning Master Yi. His play style is all about reacting to the opponent's abilities, and promptly dodging (Q) or negating (W) their abilities. He's a simple champ to play, yes, but his play style revolves around the opponent, and your opponent will virtually always, always be changing game per game, so in essence, you may never bore yourself as your exposing your play style to something new each game. Not to mention that, as laning Yi, his off builds are also options to role with, from Bruiser Yi against burst based teams to Burst Yi against squishy DPS teams.

Bad example: Most ranged ADCs. Until you reach mid to higher rank, ADC is just a mehtacular role in terms of gameplay diversity, imo. Some are fun to work with, for example having to decide between Burst Graves or DPS Graves, but others honestly just feel like doing the exact same thing over and over again.

You probably shouldnt play the same champion more than 2 games in a row ever Learn a lot of champions for every role. Pick counters when you can, pick what you are confident with otherwise.

The easiest way to get out of bronze... Don't play what you want, play what your team needs Stick with the meta (It exists for a reason) and when other people try to do stupid picks, kindly ask them not to. Learn when to go in and when not to, don't be hungry AF in lane (It's funny in bronze, play a passive lane and eventually your opponent will get bored and do something stupid.)

Why should you "never" play the same champion more then two games in a row? last i checked me playing my main, Katarina , game after game when i can get mid benefits me and i win a majority of the games. Counter picking also isn't the best idea, because if i pick Katarina and you pick let me say Veigar and you don't know him well it doesn't matter that you counter me, my raw mechanical skill and knowledge will beat you or ill exploit every little mistake you make hence you lose lane even with a counter. (this is just a usual case not a 100% case) id agree learn a basic number of champions per role, mine personally are Katarina Zed Ahri Mid/Nasus Maokai Renekton top/ Thresh Lux Annie Support/ Caitlyn Graves Jinx ADC/ Vi JarvanIV Fiddlesticks Jungle. i personally have 3 champions im "decent" with in each role, some stronger then others and the champs i listed that aren't in my main role, mid, may be lacking due to not practicing them much. But in the end i carried myself by playing one lane, and mastering 2 or so champions and being good at the general lane. Enjoy the climbing and sorry for the wall of text.

The thing is, you need to know at least the basics of EVERY champion, up in challenger and diamond, people can list out the bases for every champion in their specialty, the cooldown of their skills, combos, etc. Katarina is also not something you can pick every game, bronze players... have no idea what to do against katarina. The higher you go, the less viable she will be, especially if you are taking her as an early pick. People using champions they don't really know is also only a thing until you get to like gold, where people generally know how to play the greater part of the champions and will counter the crap out of you. You might get out of bronze only knowing 15 champions well, but after that it's going to make your life hard if you don't know exactly what you're playing against because the enemy will. Not to say you can't play a champion more than twice in a row, it's just something that shouldn't happen if you know what you're doing and know how to counter. Your pick should coincide with the rest of your team in order to maximize comp. For instance: The top player took morgana support Katarina would be a great pick since the shield will really amp her ability to get the ult off. But If there's a vel or diana mid on the enemy team, you definitely don't want to take kat because any decent player will crap on you in lane. Say the top player took Janna support: You would be better off with an AD mid like zed since she can really beef your ability to nuke. But say the enemy team already has a Lis or anivia going mid, no way in heck you want to zed.

That's the kinda stuff you need to know if you really want to get up there.

Again in bronze and silver counters don't matter that much... but if you ever want to get up there, start learning how to comp and counter now.

If you want to remember every champ, every combo/scenarios, good for you. Might you one day become Diamond.

If you ever want to be mortal again, here's my tip:

+Master a champ. Know what he/she does, what is the weakness, then figure out what can exploit that weakness, then who possess that ability.
+Pick a stat ball as backup (Irelia Pantheon Annie Akali Fiora who have 4 point-and-click). +If your main got countered, pick the stat balls and cheese the lane.

you shouldn't rely on countering, and i'm sure most diamonds don't look to "counter". You know BoxBox? yeah he spams Riven like every game, getting countered or not and he has like 3 accounts in diamond at least. Katarina is also played quiet often in diamond/master/challanger tier but just not LCS usually. I have no clue were you pull some of your facts dude. Honestly if this was the "Golden ticket" of information to get higher elo, then why do you have a negative win ratio. Not to be salty but you are sorta annoying with your false information. To be honest to climb just follow what me, of LLanite said. after you get gold, just know the general combos and such of a champion. like maximum burst/power spike/etc but i cant tell u every single CD of every champion. You don't have to pick counters, but countering makes it easier if your countering with a champion you actually know. Anyway enjoy your time on the rift guys and Enjoy the climb From: Last season Plat 2 Katarina main.

Find champ that you REALLY like. It might take awhile, but playing a champ that you enjoy and think is really cool makes it easier instead of trying to main a champ that bores you.

Shaco ... in my opinion he is op in the new jungle but it all depends on your playstyle. I have adopted shaclone's playstyle because i really like the way he works ind reaches a pick in mid game but i really enjooy playing him as full crit... equally fun. And trust me, he can JUKE ! oh my god, his jukes are wonderful !

To be honnest, i would suggest first finding your main role (adc, supp, jngl .... ) then, find a champ that has lots of mechanics and potetnial. That way you will learn about a champ that can both carry the game, have an adaptable playstyle and not get boring because you can always try new things (preferably in normals for the trial part). Once you master this champ to some extend you will have fun with him :) (at least that is how i feel when i play shaco, even if i fail, i still have fun )

And do not forget, this game is not abou climibing the ladder but to have fun playing it ... it is a game FFS !

Thing is, winning is more fun than lsoing, and playing the same champs over and over drastically increases your win chances.

Pick a couple of favorites.

If you really enjoy a champion, you won't tire of playing them.

Also, I've always felt more comfortable with 3 or 4 per role that I will fall back on for specific matchups.
