Don't support at low elo. That's literally asking to be placed into bronze lol.


This is the EXACT reason why people try to play top and mid lanes while they arent actually good at it. You are trying to make ELO hell real...

Thank you for never sharing this again. Please :3


OP, play whathever you're best at, this is by VERY FAR your best bet.

I'd be happy top hop on a bronze smurf and help you crush your placements if you want, if you're NA.

I'm pretty sure in Bronze/Silver, a team with 5 players playing whatever the **** they feel like will win against a team following the meta.

Why?

Because Bronze players and Silver players are mostly all sheep. They blindly follow the meta because "OMG THE PROS AND DYRUS AND WINGS DOES IT!"

And along that mindset, they THINK that following the meta like the pros do will somehow magically boost their elo up to Plat or Diamond, when in actuality there are multiple reasons why following the meta at their level will NEVER get them higher.

Reason 1: Lack of experience
THIS is the main reason why people think "Elo Hell" exists. Most of the time, and I'm pretty sure anyone would remember doing this, at low levels (i.e 5) you'd just pick a champion and go whichever lane you want. You'd see stuff like Xerath Soraka top, Caitlyn mid, Rengar Kha'Zix bot. I'm not talking about S1 strats, I'm talking about how no one knows what the 'meta' is so they just play to play.

As a result, 'boring' champions or champions who don't get a lot of kills, such as, I don't know, SUPPORTS aren't played a lot in comparison to other champions who can generally pubstomp and get LOTS and LOTS of kills.

And then suddenly, these players who only know Rengar or Kha'Zix or Caitlyn suddenly jump into ranked, and when they don't get the role they usually get by instalocking in normals, they rage, troll, or feed.

Reason 2: They don't understand the meta at all.
Ask any low elo player what the meta is. They'll simply say "Tank Top, AP Mid, AD and Support bot, Jungler."

Then, ask them why it is. They'll say "Because [insert streamer here] or [insert pro player/team here] does it."

NO understanding whatsoever.

It's like asking someone who doesn't know how to play Chess, but commonly watches his brother play, to play Chess. It LOOKS like he knows what he's doing, but when the situations where actual understanding of the game occur, he's not going to know what to do.

You're going to see a lot of times when the enemy AD and Support get killed, and you team doesn't do dragon. You're going to see Dragon unwarded for the first 15 minutes, so anyone who can solo it early like Fidd or Warwick will give his team 950g. Even worse, they DON'T get it even though it's warded! Why? Because they don't understand the meta or how to play the game.

Reason 3: Because they don't understand the meta, anything unconventional throws them off.
Which is why picking whatever the **** you feel like, as long as you know what you're doing aka you know how to play the champion, will let you win more than blindly following the meta you know nothing about.

Pantheon Jarvan bot? Expect 10 kills in 10 minutes, because they don't know how to DEAL with a short ranged targetted stun as a squishy ranged carry. If they were top as Yorick, yeah they know how, because it's top lane and it's Yorick, who's commonly seen at top lane. But this Pantheon is at bot, there's no way you can deal with him! /sarcasm.

And I didn't mean to NOT play Supports, that was my bad. I meant it's a bad idea to MAIN supports because 99% of the ADCs down there, combined with the fact that everyone down there has the mentality that they should always dive the enemy AD no matter what, means that as a support it's going to be extremely difficult to win because you'll have to peel 5 people off your AD that doesn't know what orbwalking is.

^^So true =/ in low elo very few can play according to the meta, and those don't stay low elo for long.

What you will see is a jungler derping around on top, without even moving towards dragon... you will even see whole team ignoring dragon after aceing...

In EUNE low elo probably any disruptive champ works well, wu, kata, jax worked for me, but i hope someone will list some more champs that can easily carry low elo.

What i really hate is the unability to focus the right people, and someone who can atleast tank a little bit (malph running behind our ADC, being less tanky than AP carry...). Not even rare to see full damage teamcomps on EUNE, and expect that someone will be picked on and will be stamped as noob, ******, feeder, etc. So you better find a friend and you fill these roles IMO.


Feel free to +rep me if i helped any way!

You either go ballz to the wallz or you go home son!

Also don't say "EUNE" just say amongst bad players or low-elo players. That other stuff be offensive yo.

Well sorry but the amount of troll picks there is too damn high, also people who can't communicate (mostly becouse not speaking languages other than their native) and do stupid things.

You see these make playing pretty frustrating sometimes.

The amount of troll picks on EUNE isn't higher than on any other server, the amount of people not speaking the language is also the same as any other server.

Don't blame a server for you being a scrub getting matched with scrubs <.<

QQ

Umm most people here are romanian, czech, polish, russian, etc. They barely speak english or don't speak other than their native at all.

In average 4 out of 10 players in a match don't communicate at all, usually not even understanding simple pinging. About half of the rest can speak english at a poor level, sometimes even hard to understand.

About troll picks? Well constantly seeing AP rengar, AP pantheon, sometimes people who don't buy boots at all, doran's stacking akali and other wtf stuff... not to mention when i see in the lobby that these people sometimes have 2x, 3x or even more wins than me???? wtf???? ADC constantly wandering alone face checking bushes, even obviously full of enemy bushes. Turret diving into full hp enemies who have hard CC, they even do sometimes when the enemy is not alone under turret. So many other things, and not just once or twice, i see these on all freaking match, sometimes on enemy side tho, but still.

/QQ

PS: they should add a BBCode for QQ
