I feel Stuck

SoZoeZed··3 votes·986 views

Hello , I am a Silver V player trying to improve and well i feel stuck. i always playing everyday and constantly working on improving my gameplay ( practicing my CSing , mapawareness , warding , and objective controls ) but i feel like i am not getting any better, atleast i dont see it. ill admit i did start as bronze 5 and climbed out of that but i know i can be better with practice but i just dont feel like my practicing is getting me anywhere.

what can i do to help me become a better player?

i do keep up with updates and i do like to read up on different champions so i do have good knowledge of the majority of the champions

I've noticed from experience that a lot of low tier people have this mindset where once someone "feeds" (ie: goes 0-2 early laning phase) they become tilted. What I mean by that is that they start playing super passive in lane to the point where it puts them even more on the edge. Playing passively is not a bad thing to do, but there is such thing as playing too passively.

What I like to do when I give away a kill or two during laning phase is try to freeze my lane and focus on poking them even more. Speaking of which, trading is very important in lane as well. I've played with a lot of players that when they get poked first, they just back away to safety, which leads to a slow and painful death. You either hit them first and back off or if they manage to poke you with their skills, go in and use ur skills, then back off.

Also, always check the cs of your lane enemy. You want to have your cs be at least the same as his or her cs, if not higher. Especially if they have more kills than you. As long as your cs is in the same general area, 9 times out of 10, you are still as strong as your opponent, unless he has like 10+ kills over you.

One last tip, a good trick i like to use to have a good trade with my lane opponent, is if they use at least 1 of their offensive skill on a minion, I try to focus him and burn most of my skills on him, then quickly backing off, since his offensive skills will be on cool down. But again, this comes with more practice since you need to have somewhat of an idea of each champion skills and cool down.

hope you find these somewhat helpful. I'm pretty bad at explaining stuff.

I am not usually a mid player, but the mids i play have bad early game. I play Diana and Fizz, so Diana i cant kill anyone until 6 unless i get a gank, fizz i have to be patient and maybe net one at four, then probably until six. So i have ten minutes where basically i am being oppressed in lane, sometimes with a death or two b/c i made a mistake etc. But i dont give up b/c once i get the lich bane on fizz, abyssal or double dorans on DIana, i can start coming back. Don't give up if you are behind. I had another game, ADC i was a jinx vs a corki naut and i had a bad blitz. Corki was winning lane until i stopped going in every time blitz landed a hook and i focused on CS.

If you are a jungle main, i always recommend our favorite streamer NIghtblue3 for tips. I've learned a lot from him, even out of the jungle role. I call barons better and i have pretty good dragon control. And now the jungle isn't my 'bad place'. I am more afraid to go top.

i was s4 last season, after my placements and that was all i played. So i am not sure of my true elo, but i am placed this season vs high silvers and the occasional low gold. I know i am getting better because teams now are rotating and absolutely destroying with coordination and its so cool to get beat when you are like 'wow their rotations are on point' or the shen that keeps somehow getting a fourman taunt. Watch the enemy and learn when you loose, analyze why you are losing. Like that shen, kept getting 4 man taunts, but that meant also we continued to stack after HE GOT A FOUR MAN TAUNT. bad playing on our part.

See this is when you face a higher tier friend (like high gold on up) and just have them tell you what you're doing wrong. Also some champs just don't work in low elo because they require something from the team. like for insistent a full on tank needs damage behind him for him to be any good or immobile adc or mid that require peels. Also guides from high elo players that main what role your maining really help. Don't play the high skill cap champs that require high mechanical skill to win with, like azir or ori. Play simple champs so you can learn more about that game.

I found this youtube series to help a lot, but that's just me. I'm bronze 3 so perhaps it's a bit too low for you, but I made it out of b5, so it must've helped some :)

The best advice is the practical one: find a high elo player in your region (platinum +) and ask him kindly to spectate your game. He will tell you exactly where you've mistaken. it's a good option which helped me.

Something that helped me get from silver to plat was just playing a lot of wukong. Only playing one champion really helps when your climbing because once you get good at the champ you can just focus on other things like csing, map awareness, trading, and obj control. A key to this tho is picking a champ that can do a few roles like wukong can mid, top, jungle, and support (kindve i mean ive pulled it off in plat before lol).
