I've heard the "We're here to learn, not to win." From you guys so many times, and it's honestly the best advice. I'm always happy to be reminded of it though, since I tend to tunnelvision on winrates and kdas and whatnot, I'm sure a lot of other low elo players suffer the same problem.
The real W comes from being able to show the person who flamed you this video to illustrate just how wrong they are. That's real League of Legends. Winning mental Warfares.
It feels nice, although sometimes it doesn't really work. If after sidelining for a good while, you go to a tf and get a penta because you're now fed, the team is like "see?! you only had to do that from the start!" lol. If you break every tower in the game, unless you break the nexus many people do not realize, it's like the towers just fell from the wind or something (I say that partly by experience, being a new player I hardly noticed when towers fell as I was just trying to not die while fighting again and again). I will prove them wrong by climbing, hopefully.
@@lefroste6370 I think you got it all wrong. I don't need their validation either. It's the sadistic pleasure of rubbing in their face how wrong they are what really gives me happiness. Well, to be fair I don't actually do that because self restrain is a thing but holy fuck is it tempting to indulge in your impulses and pummel the opposition. Dismantling their points on a fundamental basis and knowing you are in the right.
Why I stopped playing enchanter sup in low elo: I found that playing engage tank sup like Leona allowed me to capitalise on enemy mistakes a lot easier. When the enemy Lux mis-position's, I engage, we kill. If enemy adc goes aggro but their sup can't follow up because they're in fairyland 5000 miles away? Engage, they're dead. Enemy Sup gone mid for no reason? Push, dive enemy, get kill, live laugh n love. But when you are playing enchanter sup? Oh..my ADC just got hit by 10 skills shots because they have no idea how to dodge. Guess I'll heal them so they can continue to lose hp for no good reason. I feel stupid wasting my time on high winrate Andy's just because my monke brain said big wr = good
For me personally i noticed that climbing out of low elo felt the best with high roaming-potential champs like pyke, bard, janna or alistar with hextechflash - then high carry champs like zyra, xerath, seraphine - and lastly in this prio (or simply when needed comp wise*) i will pick tanks like your leo example :). Woudln't go with enchanter before hitting platinum (EUW) or dimaond (NA) because then people will know how to play with an enchanter sup. EDIT: Also woudln't recommend the roaming champions though before you understand wave management and backport timing/timers - also never overstay/leech xp so your lanes won't loose out if you visit and can't force a kill.
Depends on what the enemy botlane is playing, tank supports usually dont have heals or shields to protect teammates and can't to anything unless they go in so if i pick Leona against lane bullies like Draven and Brand, my adc is pretty much going to play whole laning phase 1v2
These vids have really helped me recently, had a big of a hard time climbing this season after a long break, but after i started watchung your vids im making good and quick progress back to plat, and hopefully even higher :)
THIS IS GENIUS. I'm in iron, and this video is the reason I figured out that my enemy jungler's clear speed is so bad that I can just stop my clear a camp or two early and kill them while they're finishing! LOL
This is a great video many people need to watch, me included. We often just autopilot and keep losing. Good luck to all the Summoners out here trying to get better. Good luck on the Rift!
The ending few sentences are the most important of this entire video. Playing to learn is way more important than playing to win. Even if you do go on a lucky win streak and peak at a much higher ELO than you normally play but you learned nothing while doing it, then you'll drop right back down to the ELO you started at. It takes time to learn and many people only focus on the short term goals of getting slightly higher ELO than they are now. Instead of learning the game, they just coin flip every game hoping for the skills they currently have to carry them through to winners queue. No one in challenger got lucky winners queues matches all the way there. They studied the game and learned how to optimize their decision making to make their gameplay consistent and adaptable. If you're actually hard stuck in low ELO, then you either don't care about improving, are being lazy, or aren't honest about your own shortcomings and are letting your ego stifle your progress. If you can learn to do that with league, then you can learn how to improve at anything else as the learning process not much different than succeeding at real things in life too.
Couple months late on this reply but this is absolutely why you can have someone that's played 1000+ games in a season and they've barely climbed. They're just playing to win, not playing to learn. I'd much rather have the person who wants to learn vs the person who just spams games thinking that at long as they win more than half, they'll climb.
@@TruBluLew23 Lol, I only posted this 2 weeks ago, but I agree with you. I try to only play 1-3 really focused games a day and review each of them the next day before I play some more to notice and fix issues without the bias of my emotions clouding my judgement. Patient and consistent improvement means that eventually my skill will surpass my current ELO and I'll rank up without even worrying about it.
This advice is legit, these kinds of trivial things like video games actually pose really good challenges to improve not only your skill at the game, but your mindset as well; the latter truly helps further your insight and understanding of how to approach obstacles, hindrances, and setbacks, which then proves vital when it comes to facing real life problems. Mindset is everything, especially in tilt factories like league 👍
For the first 90 seconds my instant reaction is: "Just leave the lane when pinged, it's usually not worth tilting your team mate over things when you might not be able to carry 4v5". That said, I usually don't like taking lane farm when I see my laner is already on his way like this (I usually only push it out when they are dead or too low/recalling) so I also don't know when it is the correct play to make.
@@willg4676 well, the problem in low elo is, that your teammates don't think about Kda, except when they can flame you for it. IE I've had lots of 2/9 Adcs take my redbuff while I could have used it much better as an 18/2 Master Yi. But, you know, they are the Adc, so they deserve redbuff and while they're at it krugs and Birds as well.
gp just lost a whooping 3 cs so basically 100+ exp and 50+gold it's fine "taxing" there if you want to carry and see that you are the better player, also you shouldn't always push the lane if your laner is dead, it depends. If the lane is on the verge of freezing for your laner you don't hit or you just adjust(there are videos out there explaining freezing conditions) if the wave slow pushs towards the enemy tho its good pushing the whole wave for it to eventually crash and deny enemy freezing after
"You are not unlucky" I dunno... the duos i find that actually warn you "Hey, we want to lose this ranked game, so we get easier elo" seems kinda high...
Nice ! I call it the game of decisions. It often wins games in low elo at least, because both teams often contest for drakes. And a lot of times my team does that while we are clearly in a disadvantage in teamfights ... so we would go drake, loose the fight, loose the drake as well .. often my loosing team will even do the first strike in the drake while the enemy team just waits for that ... then they loose HP to the drake and will be ambushed by the enemy team ... which i got really sick off. So when drakes come up and in know we're no match for the team ... i just keep my teleport up for that moment. When i see the drake massacre starts i TP to a pushed lane and take down a tower or two. I've won a lot of games in which the enemy team had more kills than my team. Because after all: the Nexus is the goal ! Especially worth it when you manage to take down inhibs that way. Because that forces their team to split sooner or later ... which is when you create 5 v 4- fights. Which you will even win quite a few times and start to get a lead over a formerly dominant team. Since super minions can easily push towers and lanes.
My personal favorite is when we are late for drake, jng flashes/dashes into the pit blindly, they get the drake, gangbang our jng and then the rest of my team follows jng and they die too and then spam ? ? ? on me for backing away to defend mid tower and write how if I went in, we would win... Low elo players are legit brainless people. I always hate to climb from silver to high plat because it's so fucking frustrating. Worst part about all of that is they won't listen to my calls or advice... I was once like that when I started two years ago, I thought that I can kill enemy laner when I'm 3 kills and 2 levels bellow. But it only took me few months to pick up the pace. No idea how can anyone be playing this game for more than a year and not understand literal basics. I played duo bot with one guy I met in ranked and he would average 15 deaths per game as a LEONA. He would constantly go into enemy adc or supp even though they are 2-3 kills ahead... It took me some time to check his op.gg and I noticed he is hardstuck bronze since s3. Dude plays the game for almost a decade and is hardstuck bronze that wouldn't even bother hearing me out. He is also direct reason for my hardstuck gold mmr on my main, because I didn't know what mmr is when I started playing. I thought I will bring him out of bronze, which I eventually did (100 ranked games) but at the cost of my mmr going from +20 to +10. It took me 6 months of solo q to get my mmr to be +15 -15 but the grind was still pain. So, bought new acc two weeks ago and I'm on the road to Dia. Also, what I noticed about hardstuck plat players, they are basically the same brainless people as lower elos, but their mmr keeps them in plat when in reality they should be playing with gold or silver mmr players.
I ask for this on almost every video of this kind but: please could we have a video like this for supports? One where everything has gone wrong like the start of this video, but as you playing a classic support (not brand or zyra etc. or something that can easily fix waves and 1V5)
i mean it would be rly boring. its like to tell u "do things safely". take the longer but less riskier routes." Don't overcommit... poke and engage / hook sups are way better to be the playmaker. ood old league isnt that good...just stay behind ur carry and press heal and ...be his slave. sometimes u use ur one poke spell xD i'm not gonna lie. my best soraka and nami sup games were the safest also.
@@Souls7908 just play seraphine. She’s busted. Has decent poke. Has strong team fight and can disengage when your team inevitably gets into a bad fight. Has shields/heals and cc. There’s a reason her win rate went all the way to 57. Absolutely busted champion.
@@shaunakkulkarni4679 i played her a lot and predicted since her release that ap bot sera would be broken (and fun aswell), but im jngler so yeah. shes fine^^
i had one game as rakan where everyone was just going in when my abilities were on cooldown and then ignoring my engages, staying just out of my e range etc. and it was extremely frustrating because it was so hard to tell what was my fault and what wasn't. Like, I had an instance where I was CCing a low health enemy in front of my Ryyz, who then proceeded to ignore the CC and chase another enemy that he was never going to get, causing both of us to die. Samira kept playing super far back except when all of my abilities were on cooldown, and the entire game was miserable. It's not even that I think I played that game particularly well, just that I couldn't tell what I could and couldn't do better because I was playing Rakan.
@@snolls105 i mean if u r the engage part then ur fastest way in is with shurely + ult -> w and run around enemies after that to charm as much as possible. so the only moment for ur mistsakes was the tiime window for engage and ur map awerness (position of ur enemies, allies and maybe not warded spots for flanks) decide by urself where u did those misstakes from replay :)
Actually, you get WORSE trammates than the average low Elo player, when you're smurfing. When I smurf and start with 70 ish WR my trammates usually have 40 ish WR, while the enemy team averages around 50 when there is no smurf in the team.
Some smurfs I run get really lucky others have a rage quit or inter(not bad just actually running it) 🏃♂️ 🤔 while other smurf projects I've done had normal players who are just bad but they atleast try. As I've gotten better I've noticed yes there is some luck but alot of time it's still be failing knowledge checks (im Grandmaster 509LP)
a 40%wr on 10 games in plat 3 player is not a worse player than the hardstuck from the enemy team in99% of the cases. although you naturally tend to tilt and intfeed or ragequit more easily when smurfing. also in smurf queue you only start to get hardstucks when you reached your mmr bracket in elo, which means youre not smurfing anymore.
thats true, I created a new account then matched against gold 1 in the first two games but having silver 4 in my team , but silver 4 guys with 800 tanked games....
9:34 botlaners really need to understand punishing when 2v1, I sit in mid fighting the jungle and supp while they sit there gaining nothing and never punishing. Sure other mids can relate.
Yessss. Also a lot of the time when the inevitable aram mid happens I'll go bot since there is a fat wave and turret waiting to be taken and botlaners will just follow me instead of holding mid and when I go back to mid after that THEY JUST GO BACK WITH ME 🤦🏽♂️
yes because low elo players can't really calculate how to dive. I had this problem a lot when a dive was possible but the other guy is really afraid. small note tho if it's an enchanter it makes the dive really difficult, because you both are squishy and most enchanters don't have a cc or isn't as easy to land like a melee would. so if the enemy adc just positions right he won't die
I still feel like low elo is more about getting kills than farming or getting objectives. Cause usually low elo games have such a high number of kills that you can get a lot of them and snowball harder than anything with them
No not really. You can win a lot of games by just endlessly pushing tower until I you have so much gold you carry every fight. Your enemy will have to decide whether to get you off the tower or go aram. Because it's low elo, they usually decide to go for the aram, and you get a million waves and platings. By the time they come get you you're so fed you can fight them in the side lane, or they have to send several people and your team easily wins the aram because they outnumber the enemy. I suck at league, this is the only way I know how to win and it works.
man it hurts to work my ass off to break my gameplay and relearn lots of things, work my way to finally reach plat, then see plat being called low elo. :')
Plat is not low elo. I’d say if you are in the top 10 percent of players you are a high elo player. I don’t agree with the guy in the video. Not everybody can get diamond. I mean only 1.7 percent of players get there. A challenger player telling you this doesn’t mean shit.
I can't remember who it was but I watched an interview with a Pro LoL player and he said that everyone makes mistakes. Winning a match is about minimizing your mistakes, and capitalizing on your opponent's mistakes.
They won't tell you about it here because it's bad for the business. I mean, who would pay for their service if they knew that it's basically BS Behavioural matchmaking these days. There is no "luck" involved in today's league. It's simply algorithm mixed with machine learning. Smurf que is prime example of rito manipulating games (profiling players and then creating special que for them specifically). If something like that (obviously wrong) is in place (and they actually admitted to it) you can only imagine what really is going on under the hood. But you won't ever hear about it from popular coaches coz they're making money out of people without knowledge. Same way as boosters do that with their clients.
8:02 "you ask a question and if the opponents fail to answer it correctly just keep going" well, i did this and guess what? the enemies in /all chat responded with "STFU!" and came bot 5vs1 to bust me! good Macroni :D
The issue is that given the state of the playerbase, if you don't listen to someone's pings there is a decent chance they will literally just start inting or afk. They got huge ego and small pp. (Just noticed this was addressed multiple times in the video, nice foresight haha)
This whole question and answer thing is a very neat way to think about the game. I like it a lot! Even though I play like a stupid bogus and am probably forever doomed to play in low elo, outside of the game I inherently know that League is a Game about position on a Chess board, where the units are weighted and everyone controls a single one. Am I allowed to stand on this field? Is the enemy allowed to stand on his? If they make advancements on another field, what can I get somewhere else in return? It's just so damn hard to execute on that for someone who has a pretty cruel case of ADHD. In game, I can't focus properly, flooded with pings, chats on top of what the enemy is doing, what items do I build, when do I spike, when does my enemies spike, if they do something weird to me, it startles my game plan and critical thinking a lot and I absolutely CRINGE at looking over my replays because in every instance I can always know 1000 things to do better. League is not a good game for (true) ADHD People. If it was it wouldn't have become popular back when it blew up. Battlerite was a perfect game for ADHD folks, I went top 30 at that games peak on the most competitive server and it's pretty much dead now (and I don't utter that term lightly like many others these days)
To be honest as a low elo top player i dont even want to see my jungle for the first 20 mins. As 90% they just run up to the enemy top lane dont ping and then just sucide dive the toplaner who has 2 levels on them. I have spent the last 10 mins slowly building a lead against the top laner and am getting ready to take him out. Please dont throw all that work away by giving him kills
As a jungler, I am slowly learning this. I typically see my top laner as having the highest carry potential (like Sett or Mundo) and want to snowball them quickly. But I’m quickly realizing that I’m just feeding a delicate balance that often snowballs the opposite way.
@@kylecurtis2786 thts a correct decision tho its lacking some points...... first try to wait untill ur top and enemy's trade hits first (and if their both melee heroes thn its gonna happen often) thn assess the situation, if the enemy is low enough tht u and ur top laner can burst him/her down thn go for it (dont forget to chat/ping ur intent tho).... if u managed to get a kill or deny the enemy a minion wave or managed to give ur top laner some tower plate... idk just do somethn benificial... aft tht thn assess the situation if u should gank, recall for probable items or farm ur jg idk the situation full well in low elo but its prolly gonna be like tht
Skill Capped: "Just make sure you make more gold, than the enemy, and you can carry shit teammates" Me: "But I main support" Skill Capped: "Well shit" Dont crucify me, its a joke :)
@@brood1807 I do this! 😂 The amount of times my ADC has been awful so I've sold my support item and gone full APC to fill the hole. It works too sometimes.
@@TYLERBABZ if the ADC is bad enough I feel the need to do that, we're already down pretty hard. Generally speaking when this happens I finish with more cs than the ADC despite not have touched creeps until the switch, which if I'm going to do it, usually happens around 15-20 minutes in.
I saw teh comment from Albert Stone, and that happened to me as an ADC, we just got Nashor, everyone was basing except me so we (well I) can have some map presence, I got hella flamed for pushing (mostly by the Jayce), in the end I took T2 and Inhib tower in top lane for free, my teammates were doing nothing and had to tell them to push mid which they did thankfully and we won, just like that. Trust yourself, not your teammates. And for info I'm a mere Bronze 3
Believe it or not I (Eve JG) used some of these tips, especially mirroring to win a 4v5. Our toplane Jax quit after going 0/2 because "jg gap". We also had a fantastic yasuo mid thankfully so I wasn't the only one hard-carrying.
Is there any video on macro for past 20 minutes? I feel like I may have a lead but if im like 5-0 180cs at 20 and my team is like 5-10 in totatl I just can't do the right thing to carry past 20-25, they fight we lose cause they are stronger, I deny going fighting and crossmap from the objective to draw attention they just go in before enemies even come to me
The very most important part to climb is this: CHECK YOUR CHAMPION POOL. Not every champion is able to clutch 1v5 like bruisers and carry a team from behind. A 20/0 Zed won't win 1v5 vs a malphite and rammus with both 3 items. This is a simple fact. So pick champions to train with that can either sustain 1v5 fights by being simply broken and unfair (dash + shield/lifesteal + short cooldowns/low mana cost), or at the very least learn a variety of champions, so that you can pick a matchup that you can play proactively. If you play champions that rely on following your team rather than leading the team and making plays (squishy immobile midlaners with low range for example), you will have a very hard time climbing, because you're playing reactively and not proactively. By playing reactively, you cannot snowball because you cannot lead. You don't have to play assassins, but at least pick a champion that is able to proactively make some plays and snowball. A 7/0 Annie will do damage, but she's still a squishy with no outplay potential and very low range. You can carry like this, but only if your team is decent, not in a 1v5 way. Way too many games are lost in the draft pick, so be smart about your champion pool.
Gotta think about one thing: people in low elo are not expecting you to be a full on challenger smurf and carrying the game all by yourself. With that in mind, now think about another low elo player going top lane and pushing the wave and taking plates. Can be good for that one player, but in most players minds everyone else in this game is a possible troll just because of the way the game developed.
The thing is, it's been a long time watching skill capped now, im not playing that much of a game but i do everything that i learned from u guys, in a gold elo i nearly win ever matchup with Yasuo, deny my opponent ex, helping my jung, taking the other teams jung camps, even roaming with Yasuo, but still my win rate is 65, there is a lot of games i can't carry especially in late game, i even some times take tp to force the other team to 4v5 scenario but there is always some one is inting. I can't do it, then my pretious time is wasted and my mental is broke down.
65 is an absolutely phenomenal, worldclass win rate. If you feel your time is wasted and mental impacted, you probably shouldn't play the game, your expectations are unreasonable.
1:10 why do you say it's bad that gp takes the krugs? You take the plating and topside jungle is empty, so going for krugs after plating is not worth. Also dragon is spawning, so you need to base right after plating. The team is already roaming botside and kills talon, so you can take the dragon. And even if you wouldn't want to go for dragon, herald with gankplank would be better option than krugs imo. I think the team is doing very well in this example.
in the situation where you have 20 kills out of 30 of your team's kills and the other team have two members with 20 kills and your team is dead set on team fighting. at this point in the game you have tried splitting but the enemy team sends one of the 20 kill members with the support and 3v5 your team. what do you do in this case. this has happened to me more than I can count and I don't know what to do. I get ahead and can split or team fight but it keeps getting answered and team fighting is not an option because there are more fed members on their team than mine.
you can still be unlucky, get shitmates 5 games in a row and lose there is nothing you can do about it even a challenger can't win these games so idk of course you can play good and bad but it's still about the mates you get wether you lose or win...
Okay, but what GP should've done? I'm genuinely curious, because I don't know the answer. I mean, you pushed two waves, so if he comes top, he basically gets nothing, and have to wait another 30 seconds for wave to arrive, and also have to only lasthit, since he want the wave on his side of the lane, or Darius just run him down, and while he waiting for wave to push, Darius, since he fed, can easily zone him away from getting cs. If we sum this up, GP will get opportunity to farm safely approximately in 2 to 2.5 minutes. I know you are super high elo and all, but you promoting this type of behavior to people who will do this in gold games, being a gold players themselves, basically fucking up top lane. Also, in this situation I would've taken crugs too, because there is nothing else to do on the map.
If top is the one losing, taking krugs is perfectly acceptable. as a jg he is making sure that your camps xp increases while you get fed. Gp also has a roam timer now where he can influence the map while darius has to push out the wave.
Taking the Krugs is actually OK and what he should do after that is to get to mid and collect the waves because Lux just came bot the same time he was farming the Krugs. Then GP should wait for Diana to reset and go and help Diana with the Rift Herald or Dragon depending on the situation To be honest I will be a little tilted too but there are things that must be done (and yeah Diana have her passive so let her hitting the turret will be more efficient)
GP should recognize he is already weak and if the match keeps following this pace, him and Darius laning, they are just gonna slowly lose the game He also should recognize that Diana, as a Jungler, can make that gold very efficient just by roaming around the map, a fed Jungler does a lot more and way earlier in the game than a strong toplaner could, especially in low elo Basically, GP has to understand there are games you cant win by yourself, learn how to be carried without being a trolling dead weight Sure, he has to wait 2 minutes to lane again, so what? He is already behind anyway, he is not responsible for carrying this game anymore, his only role in the game right now is to stop feeding Darius
Ikr that's why i Don't like about these guides It only works for smurfs, like imagine ur a bronze playing with bronze u won't be able to end the game or carry ur just making gp way behind and giving Darius huge lead It only worked cause the player is smurfing
I agree with everything said here… except the part where you will never get teammates that throw bad enough to not carry them, at a certain elo, say silver and above that’s true. In bronze and iron, there are people who have bought accounts, played 3 games and queue up for ranked thinking they’re God incarnate
I'm nearing platinum and getting convinced this never changes, there are too many games where a person dies 10 times before 15mins and it becomes uncarryable
All i want to say is thank you, i just begun 4 months ago, currently B2 and can see most of my mistakes and teammates mistakes too, so thank u for this this new guide !
Worst advice just end up losing every game to the point of no return. Nothing work in silver elo it just luck. I can punish but still fall behind cause my both give nonstop double and feed while I try to do objectives across the map. It just luck
If the enemy is dumb at making decisions you win but if they have atleast 10 iq it will be 50/50 and the only factor that can affect that is how skilled you are or how fed you are
I’m new to ranked after doing well in norms and the toxicity from teammates is so bad I am probably going to quit. I’ve been gaming for years and never experienced a game with such rampant toxicity.
hello im stucked at silver/gold as a suppot, i play mages, mainly burst mages, ma main before "dmg pass" was electrocute Zyra, now its Lux + Seraphine.. usually i dominate lane, and then in midgame trows it all by trying to save everyone and be everywhere + keep the vision.. so i keep dying only cuz i ran to help someone who was dead even before he died. lane is 7/1 then it goes to 9/11 pretty quickly, i dont steal kills, i just figured its better to put evrything u have to enemy rather then he survives with low hp and kills ur adc... what shall i do to climb?
Dont try to be a hero and be selfish af. If you're going with mage, you need to stay alive. ESPECIALLY when you're fed. Then it's all about finding win que and just spamming games.
What I don’t understand no matter how well I do top lane, there’s always one lane that has fed. I have a 11-4-6 kd with a 16% win rate in silver. If bot doesn’t feed, mid does, if mid doesn’t jg does, if jg doesn’t bot does. If no one feeds and we are all perfect no one fights as a team. How can I escape this as a top player? The only thing I can think of is just to play jg and help all lanes but top lane is more fun and I like being alone for the start of the game.
play something that can win 1v2s. Then pressure top enough to get perma 2-3 ppl top. Also try to be the shotcaller for the team so they wont wander aimlessly.
Not this specifc guide. I've been pretty critical of skill capped though. But I just won my first game purely through macro. I play support in crappy ol bronze. Lately pantheon and senna exclusively but I play zyra and sona a lot and I'm also trying taric out once in a while when we lack a tank. I was panth, got a jinx adc. Our jg was karthus *facepalm* I have never seen a good karthus jg in bronze. Versus lucian and glasc with a nidalee jg. Our jinx immediately lost lane. She didn't even try to contest the wave. We were massively down cs when they hit level 2. Then nidalee was there to attack with spears. Karthus was no help, jinx couldn't hit the broadside of a barn and I can't fight three champs at once. Our mid was also losing lane YAY. Our only saving grace was Mord winning top. I had no items, we couldn't lane at all. I tried a few different things but the enemy kept ARAMing. Jinx would not catch a wave at bot at all. So I started catching the waves. To shorten it out I started buying MR gear to deal with nidalee and kept farming sidelanes. Eventually I R'd to top to push lane. Enemy didn't send anyone for quite a while. They had tahm and for the rest of the game he was who kept coming to stop me. I waited until the enemy team aram'd down mid and I R'd to a group of minions in a sidelane, killed them, pushed as far as I could before resistance and then gtfo. That was it. Push push push. Mord did the heavy lifting in teamfights and kept them from destroying us. At one point we were down more than 15 kills. By the end of the game, I was able 17 and almost full gear. I got flamed of course. Oh well. Kept my winstreak going. I would not have done any of that if not for skill capped. ps - blah blah I am not saying I'm any good..
I recently had a game as Twitch, + Morg support vs Vayne Ashe. The 2 supports were kinda sleepy, both me and vayne had Cleanse. That game was painfull, they pushed all the time (we were redside, but no response from our Voli) and i couldn't keep up with their dmg on waves, trading was almost impossible, I just farmed under tower when i had the room to do it (got the same farm as vayne), everything went really bad when morgana decided to turbo int. The rest of my team kinda inted so i didn't expect any crazy gank or teamfight. The whole game looked like a 2v1, no gank from both junglers, nothing from my support, nothing special from them, they were just chilling there and poking me every time i got in range. My question is, what the F am i supposed to do? Just run in and spam ping morgana to follow? Farm and pray? Leave botlane open and gank mid or something? I felt like depushing was a key factor, when i play Jinx I just trim the waves to not get stuck under tower, but with twitch I use way to much mana to get the same result. Idk, help me. XD
This is only a question you can answer yourself :) Look at your game and look at your champion and think about what strengths you have and play to them. Twitch is great for making picks, so did you miss any opportunities to do this? Is cleanse really the best summoner spell for a champ that wants to catch and 1v1 people? Maybe exhaust would have been a much better option or even just heal. Was there any counterplay to getting pushed in and being able to contest the waves? Twitch's waveclear is not terrible with W but you are getting out ranged by ashe. Are you walking up at the wrong points or making your intentions too obvious? What if you pressed Q in their face walking at them, pinging forward with morgana etc, do you think that would have made them panic and step back from the wave giving you an opportunity to push? If you are not constantly walking out of vision and pressuring with Q on twitch then you are doing something wrong for sure. None or all of those might be relevant and there are many more things you might want to think about, but at least there's a few examples! Low elo games are weird and the best call won't be something you've watched in a challenger gameplay vid, just look at the whole picture and think about the best thing you can do in a given situation that will improve your chances of winning the game. Try to always think proactively over time you'll get better at it!
I dont ever want to have to carry games to win them. I just want to be part of two more or less equal teams where i tip the scales a little bit. If i have to permanently 1v9 to be able to rise, then this game is just wrong. My kata goes like 15/4 in about 2/3 of my games, im ACE or MVP in about 60% of them, but i just get one or two lanes that ultra int often enough, so that i cant even escape silver this split.
I don't play lol. Other moba predecessor. But I started to think macro after a year of playing almost 900hours. I'm seeing my teammates and enemy doing so many stupid mistakes. I'm glad I'm in the macro mindset now since I have enough micro knowledge.
i have this so often in silver , that my team flames me for nothing. they take a dumb fight at the enemies blue buff while we are behind 10 kills and i push lane and get a turret and im the one being flamed for "NoT BeInG wItH tHe TeAm"
Deleted that trash game this weekend not coming back anymore. The low elo killed the mood and I don't have the nerves to keep carrying the trash teams up
Is this my Taliyah game. From the actions and decisions made, likely. I am prety sure I made these exact desisions before against a lilia. Have I learned a lot. Yes. Will I remember my lessons... possibly.
one of the biggest mistakes I see is people never checking bushes for Pink Wards. They just click on lane and dont check the bush they are currently runnign through and missing the ward

It feels nice, although sometimes it doesn't really work. If after sidelining for a good while, you go to a tf and get a penta because you're now fed, the team is like "see?! you only had to do that from the start!" lol. If you break every tower in the game, unless you break the nexus many people do not realize, it's like the towers just fell from the wind or something (I say that partly by experience, being a new player I hardly noticed when towers fell as I was just trying to not die while fighting again and again).

Why I stopped playing enchanter sup in low elo:
I found that playing engage tank sup like Leona allowed me to capitalise on enemy mistakes a lot easier.
When the enemy Lux mis-position's, I engage, we kill. If enemy adc goes aggro but their sup can't follow up because they're in fairyland 5000 miles away? Engage, they're dead.
Enemy Sup gone mid for no reason? Push, dive enemy, get kill, live laugh n love.
But when you are playing enchanter sup? Oh..my ADC just got hit by 10 skills shots because they have no idea how to dodge. Guess I'll heal them so they can continue to lose hp for no good reason.
I feel stupid wasting my time on high winrate Andy's just because my monke brain said big wr = good
Your in low elo tho
@@BenjaJohnsonIII you too tho
I went enchanter -> Tank-sup -> AP support
AP support gives you not only a chance to capitalize on the enemy mistakes, but also wave control
For me personally i noticed that climbing out of low elo felt the best with high roaming-potential champs like pyke, bard, janna or alistar with hextechflash - then high carry champs like zyra, xerath, seraphine - and lastly in this prio (or simply when needed comp wise*) i will pick tanks like your leo example :).
Woudln't go with enchanter before hitting platinum (EUW) or dimaond (NA) because then people will know how to play with an enchanter sup.
EDIT: Also woudln't recommend the roaming champions though before you understand wave management and backport timing/timers - also never overstay/leech xp so your lanes won't loose out if you visit and can't force a kill.
Depends on what the enemy botlane is playing, tank supports usually dont have heals or shields to protect teammates and can't to anything unless they go in so if i pick Leona against lane bullies like Draven and Brand, my adc is pretty much going to play whole laning phase 1v2
These vids have really helped me recently, had a big of a hard time climbing this season after a long break, but after i started watchung your vids im making good and quick progress back to plat, and hopefully even higher :)
THIS IS GENIUS. I'm in iron, and this video is the reason I figured out that my enemy jungler's clear speed is so bad that I can just stop my clear a camp or two early and kill them while they're finishing! LOL
great.
Pretty well put and great on the explanations made it easier to grasp macro play
What he did fail to say is champ picks are important. Not every champ can carry 1v9. Champs like Lilia and Diana can, he should've said that too.
This is a great video many people need to watch, me included. We often just autopilot and keep losing. Good luck to all the Summoners out here trying to get better. Good luck on the Rift!
The ending few sentences are the most important of this entire video. Playing to learn is way more important than playing to win. Even if you do go on a lucky win streak and peak at a much higher ELO than you normally play but you learned nothing while doing it, then you'll drop right back down to the ELO you started at. It takes time to learn and many people only focus on the short term goals of getting slightly higher ELO than they are now. Instead of learning the game, they just coin flip every game hoping for the skills they currently have to carry them through to winners queue. No one in challenger got lucky winners queues matches all the way there. They studied the game and learned how to optimize their decision making to make their gameplay consistent and adaptable. If you're actually hard stuck in low ELO, then you either don't care about improving, are being lazy, or aren't honest about your own shortcomings and are letting your ego stifle your progress. If you can learn to do that with league, then you can learn how to improve at anything else as the learning process not much different than succeeding at real things in life too.
Couple months late on this reply but this is absolutely why you can have someone that's played 1000+ games in a season and they've barely climbed. They're just playing to win, not playing to learn. I'd much rather have the person who wants to learn vs the person who just spams games thinking that at long as they win more than half, they'll climb.
@@TruBluLew23 Lol, I only posted this 2 weeks ago, but I agree with you. I try to only play 1-3 really focused games a day and review each of them the next day before I play some more to notice and fix issues without the bias of my emotions clouding my judgement. Patient and consistent improvement means that eventually my skill will surpass my current ELO and I'll rank up without even worrying about it.
This advice is legit, these kinds of trivial things like video games actually pose really good challenges to improve not only your skill at the game, but your mindset as well; the latter truly helps further your insight and understanding of how to approach obstacles, hindrances, and setbacks, which then proves vital when it comes to facing real life problems. Mindset is everything, especially in tilt factories like league 👍
For the first 90 seconds my instant reaction is: "Just leave the lane when pinged, it's usually not worth tilting your team mate over things when you might not be able to carry 4v5". That said, I usually don't like taking lane farm when I see my laner is already on his way like this (I usually only push it out when they are dead or too low/recalling) so I also don't know when it is the correct play to make.
GP is 0/3, and it's 12 mins, if you don't take those plates, no one will is the logic to me
@@willg4676 well, the problem in low elo is, that your teammates don't think about Kda, except when they can flame you for it. IE I've had lots of 2/9 Adcs take my redbuff while I could have used it much better as an 18/2 Master Yi. But, you know, they are the Adc, so they deserve redbuff and while they're at it krugs and Birds as well.
gp just lost a whooping 3 cs so basically 100+ exp and 50+gold it's fine "taxing" there if you want to carry and see that you are the better player, also you shouldn't always push the lane if your laner is dead, it depends. If the lane is on the verge of freezing for your laner you don't hit or you just adjust(there are videos out there explaining freezing conditions) if the wave slow pushs towards the enemy tho its good pushing the whole wave for it to eventually crash and deny enemy freezing after

Nice ! I call it the game of decisions. It often wins games in low elo at least, because both teams often contest for drakes. And a lot of times my team does that while we are clearly in a disadvantage in teamfights ... so we would go drake, loose the fight, loose the drake as well .. often my loosing team will even do the first strike in the drake while the enemy team just waits for that ... then they loose HP to the drake and will be ambushed by the enemy team ... which i got really sick off. So when drakes come up and in know we're no match for the team ... i just keep my teleport up for that moment. When i see the drake massacre starts i TP to a pushed lane and take down a tower or two. I've won a lot of games in which the enemy team had more kills than my team. Because after all: the Nexus is the goal ! Especially worth it when you manage to take down inhibs that way.
Because that forces their team to split sooner or later ... which is when you create 5 v 4- fights. Which you will even win quite a few times and start to get a lead over a formerly dominant team. Since super minions can easily push towers and lanes.
My personal favorite is when we are late for drake, jng flashes/dashes into the pit blindly, they get the drake, gangbang our jng and then the rest of my team follows jng and they die too and then spam ? ? ? on me for backing away to defend mid tower and write how if I went in, we would win... Low elo players are legit brainless people. I always hate to climb from silver to high plat because it's so fucking frustrating. Worst part about all of that is they won't listen to my calls or advice... I was once like that when I started two years ago, I thought that I can kill enemy laner when I'm 3 kills and 2 levels bellow. But it only took me few months to pick up the pace. No idea how can anyone be playing this game for more than a year and not understand literal basics. I played duo bot with one guy I met in ranked and he would average 15 deaths per game as a LEONA. He would constantly go into enemy adc or supp even though they are 2-3 kills ahead... It took me some time to check his op.gg and I noticed he is hardstuck bronze since s3. Dude plays the game for almost a decade and is hardstuck bronze that wouldn't even bother hearing me out. He is also direct reason for my hardstuck gold mmr on my main, because I didn't know what mmr is when I started playing. I thought I will bring him out of bronze, which I eventually did (100 ranked games) but at the cost of my mmr going from +20 to +10. It took me 6 months of solo q to get my mmr to be +15 -15 but the grind was still pain. So, bought new acc two weeks ago and I'm on the road to Dia. Also, what I noticed about hardstuck plat players, they are basically the same brainless people as lower elos, but their mmr keeps them in plat when in reality they should be playing with gold or silver mmr players.
I ask for this on almost every video of this kind but: please could we have a video like this for supports? One where everything has gone wrong like the start of this video, but as you playing a classic support (not brand or zyra etc. or something that can easily fix waves and 1V5)
i mean it would be rly boring. its like to tell u "do things safely". take the longer but less riskier routes." Don't overcommit...
poke and engage / hook sups are way better to be the playmaker. ood old league isnt that good...just stay behind ur carry and press heal and ...be his slave. sometimes u use ur one poke spell xD

@@shaunakkulkarni4679 i played her a lot and predicted since her release that ap bot sera would be broken (and fun aswell), but im jngler so yeah. shes fine^^
i had one game as rakan where everyone was just going in when my abilities were on cooldown and then ignoring my engages, staying just out of my e range etc. and it was extremely frustrating because it was so hard to tell what was my fault and what wasn't. Like, I had an instance where I was CCing a low health enemy in front of my Ryyz, who then proceeded to ignore the CC and chase another enemy that he was never going to get, causing both of us to die. Samira kept playing super far back except when all of my abilities were on cooldown, and the entire game was miserable. It's not even that I think I played that game particularly well, just that I couldn't tell what I could and couldn't do better because I was playing Rakan.
@@snolls105 i mean if u r the engage part then ur fastest way in is with shurely + ult -> w and run around enemies after that to charm as much as possible. so the only moment for ur mistsakes was the tiime window for engage and ur map awerness (position of ur enemies, allies and maybe not warded spots for flanks)
decide by urself where u did those misstakes from replay :)
Actually, you get WORSE trammates than the average low Elo player, when you're smurfing. When I smurf and start with 70 ish WR my trammates usually have 40 ish WR, while the enemy team averages around 50 when there is no smurf in the team.
Some smurfs I run get really lucky others have a rage quit or inter(not bad just actually running it) 🏃♂️ 🤔 while other smurf projects I've done had normal players who are just bad but they atleast try. As I've gotten better I've noticed yes there is some luck but alot of time it's still be failing knowledge checks (im Grandmaster 509LP)
a 40%wr on 10 games in plat 3 player is not a worse player than the hardstuck from the enemy team in99% of the cases. although you naturally tend to tilt and intfeed or ragequit more easily when smurfing. also in smurf queue you only start to get hardstucks when you reached your mmr bracket in elo, which means youre not smurfing anymore.

9:34 botlaners really need to understand punishing when 2v1, I sit in mid fighting the jungle and supp while they sit there gaining nothing and never punishing. Sure other mids can relate.
Yessss. Also a lot of the time when the inevitable aram mid happens I'll go bot since there is a fat wave and turret waiting to be taken and botlaners will just follow me instead of holding mid and when I go back to mid after that THEY JUST GO BACK WITH ME 🤦🏽♂️
Plot twist, enemy adc is playing Draven so he is punishing them instead
yes because low elo players can't really calculate how to dive. I had this problem a lot when a dive was possible but the other guy is really afraid.
small note tho if it's an enchanter it makes the dive really difficult, because you both are squishy and most enchanters don't have a cc or isn't as easy to land like a melee would. so if the enemy adc just positions right he won't die
Things I got from this guide that I didnt know before:" Abuse diana tank, abuse towerplatings"
This gotta be one of the best climbing vids I've seen on here. Well said!
This video helped me get out of being hardstuck gold. Game feels 5x easier now
I still feel like low elo is more about getting kills than farming or getting objectives. Cause usually low elo games have such a high number of kills that you can get a lot of them and snowball harder than anything with them
No not really. You can win a lot of games by just endlessly pushing tower until I you have so much gold you carry every fight. Your enemy will have to decide whether to get you off the tower or go aram. Because it's low elo, they usually decide to go for the aram, and you get a million waves and platings. By the time they come get you you're so fed you can fight them in the side lane, or they have to send several people and your team easily wins the aram because they outnumber the enemy. I suck at league, this is the only way I know how to win and it works.
man it hurts to work my ass off to break my gameplay and relearn lots of things, work my way to finally reach plat, then see plat being called low elo. :')
Plat is not low elo. I’d say if you are in the top 10 percent of players you are a high elo player. I don’t agree with the guy in the video. Not everybody can get diamond. I mean only 1.7 percent of players get there. A challenger player telling you this doesn’t mean shit.

I love how every how to climb guide is focusing on jungle.
Jungle is the only role that can consistently impact all 3 lanes and the enemy jungle (unless you play Karthus).
I can't remember who it was but I watched an interview with a Pro LoL player and he said that everyone makes mistakes. Winning a match is about minimizing your mistakes, and capitalizing on your opponent's mistakes.

They won't tell you about it here because it's bad for the business. I mean, who would pay for their service if they knew that it's basically BS Behavioural matchmaking these days.
There is no "luck" involved in today's league. It's simply algorithm mixed with machine learning.
Smurf que is prime example of rito manipulating games (profiling players and then creating special que for them specifically). If something like that (obviously wrong) is in place (and they actually admitted to it) you can only imagine what really is going on under the hood. But you won't ever hear about it from popular coaches coz they're making money out of people without knowledge. Same way as boosters do that with their clients.

Yeah I was gonna say 😂
But what like this guy said, there is just no pleasing those int-ers or afk-ers, so just play YOUR best game
This whole question and answer thing is a very neat way to think about the game. I like it a lot! Even though I play like a stupid bogus and am probably forever doomed to play in low elo, outside of the game I inherently know that League is a Game about position on a Chess board, where the units are weighted and everyone controls a single one. Am I allowed to stand on this field? Is the enemy allowed to stand on his? If they make advancements on another field, what can I get somewhere else in return?
It's just so damn hard to execute on that for someone who has a pretty cruel case of ADHD. In game, I can't focus properly, flooded with pings, chats on top of what the enemy is doing, what items do I build, when do I spike, when does my enemies spike, if they do something weird to me, it startles my game plan and critical thinking a lot and I absolutely CRINGE at looking over my replays because in every instance I can always know 1000 things to do better.
League is not a good game for (true) ADHD People. If it was it wouldn't have become popular back when it blew up.
Battlerite was a perfect game for ADHD folks, I went top 30 at that games peak on the most competitive server and it's pretty much dead now (and I don't utter that term lightly like many others these days)
I think the whole "ask questions and see how they respond to it" is a concept which can be applied in multiple games or competitions.
really well made vid with awesome examples
"hey this other guy on my team is really far ahead, that means i can dive and 1v1" sums things up
Thanks man that's an amazing guide 👍🏻 really learned something here and know better now 💯
To be honest as a low elo top player i dont even want to see my jungle for the first 20 mins. As 90% they just run up to the enemy top lane dont ping and then just sucide dive the toplaner who has 2 levels on them. I have spent the last 10 mins slowly building a lead against the top laner and am getting ready to take him out. Please dont throw all that work away by giving him kills
Spam Ping back and that usually works, if not, then that's not your fault.
As a jungler, I am slowly learning this. I typically see my top laner as having the highest carry potential (like Sett or Mundo) and want to snowball them quickly. But I’m quickly realizing that I’m just feeding a delicate balance that often snowballs the opposite way.

The very most important part to climb is this: CHECK YOUR CHAMPION POOL.
Not every champion is able to clutch 1v5 like bruisers and carry a team from behind.
A 20/0 Zed won't win 1v5 vs a malphite and rammus with both 3 items. This is a simple fact.
So pick champions to train with that can either sustain 1v5 fights by being simply broken and unfair (dash + shield/lifesteal + short cooldowns/low mana cost), or at the very least learn a variety of champions, so that you can pick a matchup that you can play proactively. If you play champions that rely on following your team rather than leading the team and making plays (squishy immobile midlaners with low range for example), you will have a very hard time climbing, because you're playing reactively and not proactively. By playing reactively, you cannot snowball because you cannot lead. You don't have to play assassins, but at least pick a champion that is able to proactively make some plays and snowball. A 7/0 Annie will do damage, but she's still a squishy with no outplay potential and very low range. You can carry like this, but only if your team is decent, not in a 1v5 way.
Way too many games are lost in the draft pick, so be smart about your champion pool.
Gotta think about one thing: people in low elo are not expecting you to be a full on challenger smurf and carrying the game all by yourself. With that in mind, now think about another low elo player going top lane and pushing the wave and taking plates. Can be good for that one player, but in most players minds everyone else in this game is a possible troll just because of the way the game developed.
“Gone from winning 50% to losing 50%”very good tip
The thing is, it's been a long time watching skill capped now, im not playing that much of a game but i do everything that i learned from u guys, in a gold elo i nearly win ever matchup with Yasuo, deny my opponent ex, helping my jung, taking the other teams jung camps, even roaming with Yasuo, but still my win rate is 65, there is a lot of games i can't carry especially in late game, i even some times take tp to force the other team to 4v5 scenario but there is always some one is inting. I can't do it, then my pretious time is wasted and my mental is broke down.
65 is an absolutely phenomenal, worldclass win rate. If you feel your time is wasted and mental impacted, you probably shouldn't play the game, your expectations are unreasonable.
nice content dawgballs way to go
Great! Thanks!
Very nice video!!
I really appreciate the effort to create this content so ty so much!
All my teammates 0/5 in 10 minutes of game: WINNABLE
Very good video!
Funny thing is getting perma ban 5 times in 10 years without voice coms where i can contain my frustration would be a huge difference indeed
lil bro took the gp's mother and father and sister and then he just says I needed it
The comment about "GP doing krugs and losing his mind" is so relatable.
1:10 why do you say it's bad that gp takes the krugs? You take the plating and topside jungle is empty, so going for krugs after plating is not worth. Also dragon is spawning, so you need to base right after plating. The team is already roaming botside and kills talon, so you can take the dragon. And even if you wouldn't want to go for dragon, herald with gankplank would be better option than krugs imo. I think the team is doing very well in this example.
Really helpfull vid i did know about this but the video gave me good examples
its all nice but it kinda dependes on wheter your team is 5/46 or not
in the situation where you have 20 kills out of 30 of your team's kills and the other team have two members with 20 kills and your team is dead set on team fighting. at this point in the game you have tried splitting but the enemy team sends one of the 20 kill members with the support and 3v5 your team. what do you do in this case. this has happened to me more than I can count and I don't know what to do. I get ahead and can split or team fight but it keeps getting answered and team fighting is not an option because there are more fed members on their team than mine.
8:48 : i sometime link a discord for vocal in solo q : only 10% of the time someone join, and its 2% of the time the full team join me ...
Do you have the replay for this Diana game? Could not find it here on your channels :(
1:54 the guy with the laptop over his head, that's me
I'm the meeting room table. I'm hiding dirty secrets.
this is awesome but what about the ad carries who dominate and cant carry the win ? is the advice here applicable ?
you can still be unlucky, get shitmates 5 games in a row and lose there is nothing you can do about it even a challenger can't win these games so idk of course you can play good and bad but it's still about the mates you get wether you lose or win...

Okay, but what GP should've done? I'm genuinely curious, because I don't know the answer. I mean, you pushed two waves, so if he comes top, he basically gets nothing, and have to wait another 30 seconds for wave to arrive, and also have to only lasthit, since he want the wave on his side of the lane, or Darius just run him down, and while he waiting for wave to push, Darius, since he fed, can easily zone him away from getting cs. If we sum this up, GP will get opportunity to farm safely approximately in 2 to 2.5 minutes. I know you are super high elo and all, but you promoting this type of behavior to people who will do this in gold games, being a gold players themselves, basically fucking up top lane.
Also, in this situation I would've taken crugs too, because there is nothing else to do on the map.
If top is the one losing, taking krugs is perfectly acceptable. as a jg he is making sure that your camps xp increases while you get fed. Gp also has a roam timer now where he can influence the map while darius has to push out the wave.
Taking the Krugs is actually OK and what he should do after that is to get to mid and collect the waves because Lux just came bot the same time he was farming the Krugs.
Then GP should wait for Diana to reset and go and help Diana with the Rift Herald or Dragon depending on the situation
To be honest I will be a little tilted too but there are things that must be done (and yeah Diana have her passive so let her hitting the turret will be more efficient)
GP should recognize he is already weak and if the match keeps following this pace, him and Darius laning, they are just gonna slowly lose the game
He also should recognize that Diana, as a Jungler, can make that gold very efficient just by roaming around the map, a fed Jungler does a lot more and way earlier in the game than a strong toplaner could, especially in low elo
Basically, GP has to understand there are games you cant win by yourself, learn how to be carried without being a trolling dead weight
Sure, he has to wait 2 minutes to lane again, so what? He is already behind anyway, he is not responsible for carrying this game anymore, his only role in the game right now is to stop feeding Darius
And yes the biggest mistake of GP is getting tilted too easy
Ikr that's why i Don't like about these guides
It only works for smurfs, like imagine ur a bronze playing with bronze u won't be able to end the game or carry ur just making gp way behind and giving Darius huge lead
It only worked cause the player is smurfing
Instead of a 50% chance to win, you now have a 50% chance to lose.
What?
At 5:30 If taliyah goes bot, she can steal your blue side jungle. and therefore you both would be even
I agree with everything said here… except the part where you will never get teammates that throw bad enough to not carry them, at a certain elo, say silver and above that’s true. In bronze and iron, there are people who have bought accounts, played 3 games and queue up for ranked thinking they’re God incarnate
I'm nearing platinum and getting convinced this never changes, there are too many games where a person dies 10 times before 15mins and it becomes uncarryable
All i want to say is thank you, i just begun 4 months ago, currently B2 and can see most of my mistakes and teammates mistakes too, so thank u for this this new guide !
You're the guy that's been playing for 2 months who keeps saying i messed up when I'm carrying you
You're likely not even realizing 10% of the mistakes you do
This is great, if only I could share it with my non-english-speaking friends from LAS :c
Worst advice just end up losing every game to the point of no return. Nothing work in silver elo it just luck. I can punish but still fall behind cause my both give nonstop double and feed while I try to do objectives across the map. It just luck
If the enemy is dumb at making decisions you win but if they have atleast 10 iq it will be 50/50 and the only factor that can affect that is how skilled you are or how fed you are
can you showcase your video settings
I’m new to ranked after doing well in norms and the toxicity from teammates is so bad I am probably going to quit. I’ve been gaming for years and never experienced a game with such rampant toxicity.
hello im stucked at silver/gold as a suppot, i play mages, mainly burst mages, ma main before "dmg pass" was electrocute Zyra, now its Lux + Seraphine.. usually i dominate lane, and then in midgame trows it all by trying to save everyone and be everywhere + keep the vision.. so i keep dying only cuz i ran to help someone who was dead even before he died. lane is 7/1 then it goes to 9/11 pretty quickly, i dont steal kills, i just figured its better to put evrything u have to enemy rather then he survives with low hp and kills ur adc... what shall i do to climb?
Dont try to be a hero and be selfish af. If you're going with mage, you need to stay alive. ESPECIALLY when you're fed. Then it's all about finding win que and just spamming games.
The correct play for Taliah was farm bot then contest you on top while your bot recalled.
What I don’t understand no matter how well I do top lane, there’s always one lane that has fed. I have a 11-4-6 kd with a 16% win rate in silver. If bot doesn’t feed, mid does, if mid doesn’t jg does, if jg doesn’t bot does. If no one feeds and we are all perfect no one fights as a team. How can I escape this as a top player? The only thing I can think of is just to play jg and help all lanes but top lane is more fun and I like being alone for the start of the game.
play something that can win 1v2s. Then pressure top enough to get perma 2-3 ppl top. Also try to be the shotcaller for the team so they wont wander aimlessly.
@@qk2856 i solved this by not playing top lol
Is that the ost from subverse?
Not this specifc guide. I've been pretty critical of skill capped though. But I just won my first game purely through macro.
I play support in crappy ol bronze. Lately pantheon and senna exclusively but I play zyra and sona a lot and I'm also trying taric out once in a while when we lack a tank.
I was panth, got a jinx adc. Our jg was karthus *facepalm* I have never seen a good karthus jg in bronze. Versus lucian and glasc with a nidalee jg.
Our jinx immediately lost lane. She didn't even try to contest the wave. We were massively down cs when they hit level 2. Then nidalee was there to attack with spears.
Karthus was no help, jinx couldn't hit the broadside of a barn and I can't fight three champs at once. Our mid was also losing lane YAY. Our only saving grace was Mord winning top.
I had no items, we couldn't lane at all. I tried a few different things but the enemy kept ARAMing. Jinx would not catch a wave at bot at all.
So I started catching the waves. To shorten it out I started buying MR gear to deal with nidalee and kept farming sidelanes. Eventually I R'd to top to push lane. Enemy didn't send anyone for quite a while. They had tahm and for the rest of the game he was who kept coming to stop me.
I waited until the enemy team aram'd down mid and I R'd to a group of minions in a sidelane, killed them, pushed as far as I could before resistance and then gtfo.
That was it. Push push push. Mord did the heavy lifting in teamfights and kept them from destroying us.
At one point we were down more than 15 kills. By the end of the game, I was able 17 and almost full gear. I got flamed of course. Oh well. Kept my winstreak going.
I would not have done any of that if not for skill capped.
ps - blah blah I am not saying I'm any good..
That's the kinda teammate u want on ur Team! Always thinking how one can help the Team does wonders
Can someone tell me what resolution this dude is using?? Everything looks cleaner.
I recently had a game as Twitch, + Morg support vs Vayne Ashe. The 2 supports were kinda sleepy, both me and vayne had Cleanse. That game was painfull, they pushed all the time (we were redside, but no response from our Voli) and i couldn't keep up with their dmg on waves, trading was almost impossible, I just farmed under tower when i had the room to do it (got the same farm as vayne), everything went really bad when morgana decided to turbo int. The rest of my team kinda inted so i didn't expect any crazy gank or teamfight. The whole game looked like a 2v1, no gank from both junglers, nothing from my support, nothing special from them, they were just chilling there and poking me every time i got in range. My question is, what the F am i supposed to do? Just run in and spam ping morgana to follow? Farm and pray? Leave botlane open and gank mid or something? I felt like depushing was a key factor, when i play Jinx I just trim the waves to not get stuck under tower, but with twitch I use way to much mana to get the same result. Idk, help me. XD
This is only a question you can answer yourself :) Look at your game and look at your champion and think about what strengths you have and play to them. Twitch is great for making picks, so did you miss any opportunities to do this? Is cleanse really the best summoner spell for a champ that wants to catch and 1v1 people? Maybe exhaust would have been a much better option or even just heal. Was there any counterplay to getting pushed in and being able to contest the waves? Twitch's waveclear is not terrible with W but you are getting out ranged by ashe. Are you walking up at the wrong points or making your intentions too obvious? What if you pressed Q in their face walking at them, pinging forward with morgana etc, do you think that would have made them panic and step back from the wave giving you an opportunity to push? If you are not constantly walking out of vision and pressuring with Q on twitch then you are doing something wrong for sure. None or all of those might be relevant and there are many more things you might want to think about, but at least there's a few examples! Low elo games are weird and the best call won't be something you've watched in a challenger gameplay vid, just look at the whole picture and think about the best thing you can do in a given situation that will improve your chances of winning the game. Try to always think proactively over time you'll get better at it!
we have no idea what happened in the game to answer you
@@lefroste6370 Bradley gave me a great one
@@P3ga73 i'll watch the replay and think about this stuff. Thanks a lot
@@MrLink4444 No problem, happy if I helped! 😁
I dont ever want to have to carry games to win them. I just want to be part of two more or less equal teams where i tip the scales a little bit. If i have to permanently 1v9 to be able to rise, then this game is just wrong.
My kata goes like 15/4 in about 2/3 of my games, im ACE or MVP in about 60% of them, but i just get one or two lanes that ultra int often enough, so that i cant even escape silver this split.
I don't play lol. Other moba predecessor. But I started to think macro after a year of playing almost 900hours. I'm seeing my teammates and enemy doing so many stupid mistakes. I'm glad I'm in the macro mindset now since I have enough micro knowledge.
i have this so often in silver , that my team flames me for nothing. they take a dumb fight at the enemies blue buff while we are behind 10 kills and i push lane and get a turret and im the one being flamed for "NoT BeInG wItH tHe TeAm"
And here i am struggling with my teammates in emerald 😆. And also me getting tilted the longer it gets.
How do you get your health bars that large
Deleted that trash game this weekend not coming back anymore. The low elo killed the mood and I don't have the nerves to keep carrying the trash teams up
Is this my Taliyah game. From the actions and decisions made, likely. I am prety sure I made these exact desisions before against a lilia. Have I learned a lot. Yes. Will I remember my lessons... possibly.
LMAOO imagine being that gangplank and seeing yourself get roasted for your poor macro by a challenger coach
one of the biggest mistakes I see is people never checking bushes for Pink Wards. They just click on lane and dont check the bush they are currently runnign through and missing the ward
