LoL Elders, how can I improve?

[quote=iOreo]Greetings, I've been playing LoL since the past year, I've been lurking around these forums ever since too, I read a ton of guides and read a ton of threads etc which helped me get through the learning curve, I'm proud to say I feel like I managed to learn LoL to pretty good extent, something that has never happened with other online games, I'd always drop out after 2/3 months, but LoL hooked me up, I always felt the need to play this game, even after a week without playing out of frustration with myself and the community I'd always come back, and now I feel really motivated to learn a whole lot more, first of all I want to improve theoretically, are there any guides for that or does that come with time? I'll leave you to answer that, despite my abysmal ELO I don't consider myself a nasty player, I can manage, my masteries are really confusing, I only have two complete rune pages, one for AD and one for AP.. And I want to get better, climb up the ladder to get at least to Gold, I always play 2 or 3 games maximum per day because it tires me, 40 min games, my back starts hurting and staring at the screen for too long gets my eyes sore and red like if I've been smoking Jays.. I wanna get better, LOL King me ID same as the username, add me, test me, but I would just like to improve my skills so I can enjoy this game a bit more. cheers, this wall of text can be confusing, sorry for the lack of pontuation etc.. and for the amount of commas.. so TL;DR, help me improve![/quote]

[quote=Joxuu]Hello I think you are really up for this so I could give a hint of two. First of all: *Which role do you main ? I think it's wise to be focused on few roles, but be prepared for everything. Like you could main solo lanes (top and mid) or main ADC / jungle, but be prepared to be going everywhere. *Learn few good champions, which can carry. Normally I would recommend to be more team focused, but in bronze you can carry easier out as a single than focus as a team in my opinion. *What I noticed is that you could build more carefully. You can look at the #1 guides from trustworthy authors, but you need to understand why you are getting X item. You gotta look what the enemy is building (this is also depending what role you are playing ofc). *Some of your masteries are a bit off, I'd look them up and fix :P *You have really low average cs per minute. If we look at your target ELO, gold players usually have something around ~80 cs in 10 minutes. That's a really good goal, but even at least ~60 cs in bronze tiers is good. Try to learn how to last hit and getting flat AD marks makes the thing easier for AD based champions in stead the armor pen. (Both are vialable marks, ain't saying armor pen is bad) *The rest come by experience really. Positioning, knowing when to trade, knowledge over other champions, having vision/warding. These simple stuffs really build up. You can watch videos and see how people work. To give more careful explanation where you could improve.. I'd need video or some kind. Maybe others can give more advices as I most likely missed something more or less important.[/quote]

[quote=nanoobit]If you want to improve quickly I would master a single skill then build from that. The easiest one that comes to mind like mentioned above is creepscore. If you can creep like a diamond player in bronze than you can win simply by having more money than everyone else in game even if your play is sub-par. Go into bot games and try to get 180cs by 20 minutes every single time. If you do actually care to improve, this is something you can do while listening to an audio book or doing other things. Being able to farm well versus bad opponents should be a second thought as you should be so accustomed to getting high cs numbers. If you have any specific questions regarding anything feel free to PM me and I would be glad to give to try and answer them for you.[/quote]
