| Posted: 10 Feb 2020 12:35 AM PST Listed quick tips stick with me so much better and I'm more likely to take a quick look at them to remind myself and I think there must be more people like me. So if we could put together tips in a format like this would be really useful: Bronze - Yada yada yada - Yada yada yada Silver - Yada yada yada - Yada yada yada Either comment or if someone wants to put more time into it they can make a separate post as well I think that'd be pretty cool.

| Being a top tank isn't working out for me in soloQ, some tips please (gold) Posted: 10 Feb 2020 05:15 AM PST I play tanky and sticky champs like Shen, Mao, Ornn, Poppy and very very occasionally Quinn. I feel like I've hit a hard point where if a carry lane isn't fed I'm left redundant and just peeling for someone that is playing with one hand during team fights or skirmishes. During laning in most cases it's not in my favour so I am always 20 - 30 cs behind by the time lane phase ends, I also try to roam mid when I can during lane phase. I've adapted to saving my tp for first or second drake whenever I can otherwise it doesn't get secured. Am i just hot trash on tanks and should be playing differently? Or give up the idea of playing sticky tanks and play to win lane by learning 1v9 champs like kled or darius? Any and all tips are appreciated, especially for just general know how of top lane :) My op.gg if it helps; https://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=Swiftwisp Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| How to REALLY Improve in Season 10? Posted: 10 Feb 2020 05:59 AM PST With the season starting out I wanted to give you guys a head start by summering up 3 key elements that will help you start improving effectively at league and will help you climb to a higher rank this season 10. I've compiled all the info I learned coaching players during 2019/2018. I've realized that most of the player base doesn't know how to practice effectively. They just hop directly into game or they practice only with a general idea of what they want to improve. But that only works in the beginning, when you are just barely learning the game. Once you passed that level, you will need to actively find key mistakes in your performance and address them one by one with a training program and some sort of feedback on how you're doing. I've made a video compiling 3 key elements that have worked for me and my students to improve at league effectively. Link to the video: https://youtu.be/p-EcA-9WV24 I really hope with this info you can make great improvements in your play and get to a higher rank in this season ^^ [link] [comments] |
| [Jungle] How to avoid getting killed by invades Posted: 10 Feb 2020 09:02 AM PST So lately I've run into a frequent problem of enemy junglers getting fed early game while I'm still playing a relatively weak early game jungler and then getting killed. This is a pretty big problem when I play Junglers like nidalee, evelyn and sometimes Ekko. Like a couple days ago I was playing Ekko jg and Vi got two early kills and then constantly invaded.my jg and killed me like 5 times. I couldn't escape any of the ganks unless I had flash. What's a good way to counter enemy invaders aside from setting up deeper vision and then getting set behind in farm? [link] [comments] |
| Can rumble actually be penta-flexed? Posted: 10 Feb 2020 05:16 AM PST I seem to recall LS saying once that in theory, rumble could play all roles reasonably well. Top and mid are easy to confirm, since he is actually played there. I could also see him going jungle with talisman, sustaining on aoe camps with his q. Support could also work semi-tanky with relic shield giving ap. Adc position seems a bit weird, but together with an enchanter support they could have insane gank setup and sustain post 6. So my main question is if rumble actually is able to be flexed in all roles, or if it is another LS meme [link] [comments] |
| Getting demoted from a division Posted: 10 Feb 2020 07:24 AM PST hello fellow summoners, this is probably the wrong place to post this but does anybody know (preferably someone thats experienced it themselves) how many losses in a row it takes to demote from plat 4 to gold 1? and does it give you the 'demotion shield'? im not on 0LP but im on a bit of a loss streak. i dont mind getting demoted, i just dont want to go through 5 promo games again lol [link] [comments] |
| How to know which champions are scaling champions? Posted: 10 Feb 2020 08:27 AM PST I'm taking about champs like Vayne who are very dangerous late game but aren't a big threat in early. As a support I never know if I should trade a lot then all in with my ADC to get the kill or more like zone out the enemy and stay safe because my ADC is not really good in early. I often all in after lowering the enemy's HP, my ADC follows but we don't manage to get kill or it even turns againt us. Do I just have to keep training or is there actually a way to just tell?

| Posted: 10 Feb 2020 09:55 AM PST I wanted to ask wether you guys got some general tips regarding drafting. Here some questions I got since like forever:
By now it's propably clear that I'm pretty new to this subject so if you have any good videos, articles, etc. that explain the basics that would be appreciated. I also was wondering wether there is a discord or subreddit dedicated to drafting advise and exceptially feedback on a draft. Any input is appriciated. Might also help some people for upcoming Clash or other players getting into competitive play. [link] [comments] |
| Silver shaco jg main looking for advice on how to snowball mid game Posted: 10 Feb 2020 11:56 AM PST Been struggling mid game with shaco. I find it really easy to get first blood and help snowball one of my lanes but because it low elo I find that half the time the lane I snowball just throws there lead give them. I know I should be looking for neutral obj to snowball but I find it hard to solo herald or drag pre 6. And ask your lanes for help is almost never heard. Any advice? [link] [comments] |
| Choice Paralysis is preventing me from playing Posted: 10 Feb 2020 11:46 AM PST So i struggle with Choice Paralysis in many games, especially MMO's where i tend to reroll constantly. Now league seems to amplify this to 1000% because the game has so many champs.
I played a wide variety of champs, found some i like and do good 1-2 matches and then either lose interest (yes it happens that fast) or feel like im making the wrong choice. This goes as far as me never looking up guides or actually trying to properly learn a champ because i think hes gonna get nerfed or become OP and then i have to start over on a new champ. And there are just soooo many. I know a way to overcome this is by just picking ONE champ and sticking to it but i cant settle for one. I liked Teemo the most because of his shrooms but every single time you play against someone with a brain you just get camped under tower the entire match. I tried playing Fiora, Riven and Camille but every time i pick these i get counterpicked and cant learn the champs since the enemy toplaner just picks ranged and forces me to go afk, literally. I also really like Lux and Morgana but i hate playing support so thats of the table. Also an unrelated question; Is it normal that EVERYONE is so much higher level than me? I am just level 34 now and every single match (normal, not ranked) has people in level 60-200 which just completely steamroll me. [link] [comments] |
| A critic on "How to climb fast" videos Posted: 10 Feb 2020 05:45 AM PST I feel the need to share my thoughts on this subject with you all and I'm sorry if this is not informative for many of you. Of course, I'm talking about this kind of videos, "promising" that climbing is very easy if you follow 3 simple tips and, hey, pro tip: it's not. My main issue with these videos is that they misslead low elo players in a harmful way. I can see the frustation in someone trying to get better, watching those videos and realizing that they are still hardstuck or not improving. Don't get me wrong, the ideas shared in the videos may be right, maybe they will make you better, but not from one game to another, it will take you time and effort. I do understand it is the way for many Youtube channels to grow and make people click the video, but I think many (new) players can feel bad when trying to apply those "3 easy tips" and seeing no improvement. My goal with this post is to reach low elo and new players who are watching these type of videos looking for ways to climb and I would like to recommend to them to keep watching those videos and learning, but to also be patient and to understand that League is a complex game and there's no formula to climb faster, more than learning the game and getting better at it. No special champ will get you out of silver and no special trading technique will get you out of gold. Those things will help you achieve your goal but, again, it will take some time.

| How important is it to learn wave management in low ELO? Posted: 10 Feb 2020 12:25 PM PST Hello summoners! I am a long time on/off LoL player (started in season 2 and played on and off to present) and would like some advice. I've never been one for ranked play. I did my provisional games out of curiosity in the past and then just stuck to normals. This year however I am determined to get better and climb through the ranks. My goal is to hopefully make gold by the end of the season. The highest I've ever been was silver 2 (back in season 3). This season i started in iron 2 and have climbed up to bronze as an adc. I've gotten things like cs, warding, objectives and the like down and I'm not the least competent ever. But when it comes to the concept of wave management and "freezing" the wave I am lost. How important is it on the way to my goal? How can I learn/improve myself in this regard? Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
| How to win lane hard as adc? (high gold low Plat) Posted: 10 Feb 2020 05:09 AM PST In all threads that ask how to climb as adc, I constantly see comments saying to get enemy tower early and rotate to give the rest of your team a lead. Whenever I try to play a strong early game / lane dominant adc, I would out push and gain a CS lead by zoning and poking the enemy laners, but it's too often when I end up trying to get turret plates where, despite river bush wards, I would get ganked by the enemy jungle through lane, through a quick blast cone, or completely behind us through our jungle. We can only place so many wards so we end up having blind spots. More often than not we would end up dying and throwing our lead. And more often than not, our jungle would not be doing much of anything (cause it's low elo). Or sometimes I would have a support that does not understand our win condition in lane and just stays back or constantly gets hit by cc like Leo or naut or just gets one shot by a brand or some other burst heavy support. In cases like this, would simply stomping lane and getting bot tower early be the only way to climb? Bonus question: if I do end up getting behind or getting hard camped and 4 man dove at tower consistently, is my best option to just leave bot lane and try to find objectives elsewhere, even when it's only like 15 minutes into the game? Or should I still stay bot and hope my team does something when we get camped and dove? The latter doesn't really seem like a consistent method to hard carrying games. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2020 08:49 AM PST I'll keep it short. Start league, be awful, practice a lot, follow Pro's/LCS eventually get to D2. Realise that D2 is just like mid gold and every games a disaster BUT teams know how to push their leads a little more, less champions become viable. Linger around in plat for a few seasons. This season sat in gold, can't win because I can't motivate myself to try because I know the higher elo is very similar. So I constantly just pick random shit and lose because "I know if I try I'll get to diamond and that's my peak". I dunno, I just load in and recently can't get motivated to play the meta and bark orders out and shot call etc, do all the little things you need to do to win. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2020 03:59 PM PST There used to be a site that would look at your ranked data and determine a ban best suited for you based on your win/loss against that champion. I believe it was http://bestbans.com/ However, the site isn't working/updated anymore? It says patch 7.9 and the custom bans feature isn't working when I search my summoner name. Is there another website that I can use to find out whats my lowest win % vs a specific champion? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2020 03:47 PM PST This isn't a joke I straight up can't get out. I started playing near the end of last season "maining" kat and placed bronze 2 I think. This season I was trying to play Sylas jg in my placements after his rework (not sure what I was thinking), got terribly tilted, did horrible every match, and was slapped at the bottom of the pit. Iron 4. Now I'm stuck with trolling smurfs and teammates so bad there's typically 2-3 people that are crazy fed every match before midgame and everyone wants to ff 10 minutes in because they lost lane. Is my only hope to just forget about climbing and focus on getting better until I can just hard carry every match? Should I stop playing mechanically difficult champs until I learn macro? What do I need to focus on learning as my top priorities? [link] [comments] |

| [ADC] What to do when transitioning to mid game? Posted: 10 Feb 2020 01:05 PM PST After laning phase and moving into mid game it seems like I have no idea what to do next. My team is usually spread out and my lane is pushed enough to where I could get caught out for staying too long. Usually Ill look to get gromp/krugs to past the time and not lose CS but is there a better option? Im iron/bronze but climbing relatively fast [link] [comments] |
| I'm struggling with instinct, consistency and "play more" Posted: 10 Feb 2020 12:31 PM PST Hi guys, I want to ask a bit of a different question from the usual "What champ do I play" and "How do I beat tank meta?" My question today is about instinct, consistency, and ultimately, "What happens when one tricking and playing more isn't enough?" Let me give you some background - I've been playing on and off since Season 2 and have been consistently hardstuck Silver. I started a "smurf" account to get re-placed with fresh MMR and that was hardstuck Silver too. I blame myself for this - most of the games I lose are games that I lost specifically in ways that are obvious in retrospect but never seem like a bad idea in the moment. I've experimented with different roles at times (mostly because I think playing a champion is the best way to understand how to fight them) but I consider myself a Top/Support main, and specifically Wukong/Thresh. I'm fairly comfortable and confident with a handful of others but those two are my bread and butter - when I play them it's like the combos flow straight from my brain instead of my hands. However - there's a few things missing:
So, yeah, I don't know what my problem is. Bad habits? Dumb old man brain (32 this year)? Wukong trash tier? Every opponent is smurfing? Riot ruined the game by releasing Sett? I hope this post doesn't come off as too sarcastic or too "Why am I in ELO hell?" - I know there are plenty of things for me to improve on, and I really do want to improve on them, I'm just having a really difficult time nailing down what those things should be. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! [link] [comments] |
| I have a couple of broad questions regarding the game. Posted: 10 Feb 2020 10:51 AM PST I've been playing for a a little over a year now. This is my first ranked season and I am in high gold/low plat MMR.
Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Can we stop playing senna ADC in low elo? Posted: 10 Feb 2020 01:37 PM PST Or maybe I just don't understand what its supposed to be for. Since this champ has come out I've only ever seen it pop off once. Now that 1 time won the other team the game, but generally it loses lane hard and remains irrelevant throughout the game. When its on my team it feels like playing a man down, they tend to contribute 3 AAs and several whiffed abilities per fight. I feel like its supposed to be a strong hit and run type, but in my games adcs rarely understand spacing or they're blind picking it and the other team just plays vayne. Nice easy lane for vayne, much more relevant late. Can someone explain to me why this remains such a popular pick? is it just the implied safety from distance? There doesn't seem to be room for it as support with all the engage supports being played right now, and as adc you can basically ignore it. [link] [comments] |
| Struggling mid lane vs assasins. Any advice? Posted: 10 Feb 2020 09:38 AM PST I've been between low diamond to plat since 2013 and have always had a struggle fundamentally vs assassins like Diana, Talon, Kata and Zed. I mostly play champions like Veigar + Annie and also Kassadin. What I struggle with the most is that in my eyes (and I'm most likely wrong, which is why I'm making this post) I either have to choose between sitting back and farm the best I can under turret while either the turret slowly chips down and I lose some CS to it or I let them roam around the map while pinging it and hope for the best. In other match-ups I have a pretty strong (relative to my rank but obviously not overall) sense of lane knowledge and positioning/trading. I usually know which pockets I can stand in, which minions I can safely take, when I can safely trade and apply pressure and so on but it feels like even though these assassins are melee, they will out-trade me and if I trade once I'm now in an HP range where I can die to a combo with ignite. Sorry for a wall of text but I figured if I give you more info it would be easier to give detailed answers. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Feb 2020 11:01 AM PST So basically what the title says. I've been playing for almost 5 months and i just started ranked.
