I recently saw a video on youtube about what challenger players do that you do that do, i forgot who created it. But it got me thinking... It talked about how challengers players actively do things that prevent them from falling behind. they ward, so not to get caught out. they don't make dumb risks that could make the game harder for them. Got me to thinking.... I make a ton of extremely stupid risks....and so does my team. Anyone have any advice for anyone reading the post/comments about calculated aggression? Making the plays when you know you'll come out on top. How does in improve on their decision making? Or does it flat out just come down to experience?

Bronze player tell u that all comes on expiriance and knowing your champ

and knowing your teams champs and the enemy champs too. it's important to keep an eye on what items champs have too. A 1 item ADC isnt that bad, but a 2 item adc can be problematic. or with Heimerdinger , if he has an Zhyonas, dont fight him 1v1, you will lose.

You're never going to learn a champ's potential unless you take risks. It like poker, if you never get caught bluffing then you aren't bluffing enough. That said, save the risky stuff for normal games. In ranked, especially at low elos, its not who makes great plays that wins but who makes less mistakes.

i agree. ill be sure to try and push the limits of my "plays" whenever i play normal games.

Vision. If you know where everybody on their team is, you can pick somebody out. Example: if you can see everybody on their team botton side of the map, you should easy get a gank off top lane, and get a tower.

The most important thing i have seen winning teams doing in lower elos (bronze/silver). if you can Get objectives off team fights. That's the best scanrio. Turrets are the most important objective i think. if the enemy has all their outer turrets down, you OWN their jungle. you can take red and blue, drag and hopefully baron with minimal effort, then its gg. the hard part is getting there. wards OP

getting objectives off teamfights is indeed super important, but what if my team recalls cause they don't understand this? and i am unable to push that tower myself.

what then, shall i do?

hm, ping like crazy? i dunno. or try to play ad champs so you can take towers. i dunno. if my team doesnt want to take towers i will typically keep the side lanes pushing to keep pressure up. not as good as takeing towers tho.
