From High 900 ELO to Low 1400 ELO: Ask Me...

[quote=cupcoffee]The thing is , you still get people that are inexperienced at 1500+ but less. How do you carry 5 man through a game.[/quote]

[quote=Blze001]Did you ever experience an extended streak of fail? I've won a game or two over the past week, but it's been like successfully dumping a bucket of water out of the Titanic. Is it just something that happens, or an indication that I still have a long ways to go? More importantly, is there a way to put the brakes on this skid, or am I stuck hoping my luck will flip?[/quote]

[quote=EVILISLEMONS][quote=cupcoffee] The thing is , you still get people that are inexperienced at 1500+ but less. How do you carry 5 man through a game. [/quote] Well to be honest it's almost impossible to carry 4 others on a team unless you're fed with a champion who can dish out a ton of damage (obviously). You can carry 3 teammates easily though. Only thing you need is a two-combination of a good jungler + a dps/AP carry/AD carry. As a jungler, gank these lanes often and get them fed. Then get them to push their lanes as hard as they can and gank other lanes. That's all I can say really. I've only played like two 1500 games and that's pretty much how people carried my ass.

[/quote] Hell yeah I always have these moments. I've always thought they were just random, but I found out a pattern. Review the first game of the losing streak. You probably lost because of 'shitty teammates'. This may be the case, this may not be the case - that's not the point. The point is you most likely voiced this through chat. What I'm saying is don't press the enter button. Just don't. If you're the feeder, say sorry but that's it. Don't focus on them bitching at you. If they're the feeder, don't bitch at them. If anything, give them advice or say 'don't worry' or 'it's okay - just keep trying to hold your lane'. Give them advice, but do this seldomly and only when you think it is extremely necessary. There's no need to say "it's okay" when you and him know it's not (i.e. he's 0-10). Another thing you would want to do after losing a game is to take a break. I hate it when people go 'ARGH I lost a game! That was bullshit! It wasn't even my fault! I'm gonna play another one right now to try and redeem myself!' That kind of thinking usually results in another loss. What I like to do is eat. I'm not fat but eating is joy to me. Other times I lie down on my bed or watch some YouTube on some funny stuff. The key is to be in a better mood. You don't want to be thinking about the last game. Sometimes, you just have to admit to yourself that you've done pretty horribly. Don't beat yourself down but instead watch some videos on pros playing. I like to do this sometimes. I'm not really big on it but I can see why many do. Go on own3d.net and check some popular streams. Watch the players who play your favorite champ or your best role. Watch how they play. I was watching a player from Curse gaming play Zyra mid and a lot of the things he did stuck to me for a bit. I then went to play a ranked game as Zyra and pretty much won the game because I was able to focus and do what the pros do. Of course, it doesn't always work like this but never ever think that it's not helping you. There really is no downside to watching a professional play if you pay attention to them seriously and strive to be a better player. Oh yeah that reminds me: Play your best champ. No, not the champion that gets you a ton of kills but a ton of losses. The one that you have over 60-65% winrate with over a lot of games. You will win some and you will lose some, but at least with your best champion you will win more than you lose in the long-run. Also, I might be crazy but there are times when I have entered a game and felt like I had to fake being optimistic. I would try to get my teammates to talk and have fun but clearly they weren't the type to socialize. Then a teammate dies and I start to feel like we lost the game. That's why I always come into the game with a neutral attitude. Not too optimistic, not too pessimistic. It's easier to stay focused when you don't type a lot (obviously). If you want some more advice or whatnot you can add me on LoL @ EVILISLEMONS. NA Server plz. KEEP EM COMING[/quote]

[quote=Kokobeast]Really appreciate your last post. My situation: Currently I play a pretty decent jungler (I would like to think). I can play the other roles but do not have too much expereince/am not that comfortable. At a low elo, any suggestions at what role to try out next? Koko[/quote]

[quote=Xaioli]Have you seen a difference in attitude from 900 elo to 1400?[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]What about lemonparty?[/quote]

[quote=Xeronn]Do you think jungling is the most crucial role, from your opinion? If not, then what do you think is? Do you [[Mordekaiser]] top or mid? One more.. what things did you practice before starting your climb out of the 900s?[/quote]
