Views: 1412 Why Can't I Get Silver
|
Seems like half my time in ranked is spent bouncing from 20-90 points in a division before getting to promos, and this doesn't bother me since it gives me more experience before I hit the next rank, what annoys the ever living **** out of me is when I play the best in my team, if not the game and my team makes the worst decision ever and throws the game while I sit there and tell them not to do it.
All I want to do is get out of bronze, is that so much to ask? the past 3 ranked games I've played were
Lux games where I won my lane then just farmed/pretty much won teamfights with my 4 man ults and all seems good, a perfect example of what ****s me off to no end is when, in one of the games I was 8-0 at one point but the enemy adc and top were pretty strong, we ended up raping teamfights but we had no wards, the support just built tanky leo with no wards and I was full build pretty early so I couldn't get wards, the rest of the team thought it a great idea to go get a baron with no wards and the enemy team all up and mia with me at base making sure the enemy super minions didn't take our nexus turrets (we lost 1 inhib they lost 2) and then the inevitable happens, while I was telling my team to back the **** away from baron the enemy jax yolo jumps in then gets ult+shielded by lulu and the enemy team cleans up.
I feel helpless since all 3 recent lux games have been the same, I have warded when possible, won lane and pushed objectives as well as farming well and setting up kills for my team and when it seems we might win or we get the advantage my team goes full ****** and I'm stuck trying to reason with them and we inevitably lose from bad positioning and ******ed focus in fights.
If anyone on OCE that is around B2-S4 that would like to carry... errr I mean queue with me I would appreciate it quite a lot since I don't think I can stop myself from degenerating into a toxic rage bot if I get one more team that throws harder than MLB pitcher.
/rant over for now

Bronze players often lack understanding of basic mechanics. These include trading, CSing, splitpushing and basic warding. Now, I'm not trying to make fun of anyone (I'm sorry if it sounds like this), but trust me - you're not Bronze because of a conspiracy, but because you are unable of carrying games or push advantages into your favor -.
Once you learn basic mechanics, just play high-scaling champions and snowball games. It's pretty easy. Lane-bullies that can splitpush easily can win games that your teammates would throw.
Champions I would advise:
Don't play overly based utility champions (tank supports). You carry in Bronze by having damage and being able to 1vs1 anyone. Don't play
OR
Try to actually master Lux, check guides on how to play her correctly. Watch Leaguecraft videos.
I want a bronze smurf so bad
Someone educate me in the arts of throwing matches without actually looking like you're throwing matches (and thus getting reported).
Play only

Duo botlane. Get your support to throw kills to the enemy during laning phase. Let enemy botlane snowball. GG.
ok, i get it. i should go mid because everyone is too stupid to disengage/to do anything else than engaging. i mean, as yi i would only get focused/poked down and be useless in a teamfight, but ok, i need to be there. nobody needs map pressure and towers anyway.
Why do 50% of players I play with do that I mean I know mid tower is an important objective and all BUT ADAPT TO THE SITUATION PLS

Here's how you play bronze:
Farm lanes for 30 minutes while missing most of the cs without a single tower or dragon being taken.
Someone gets fed, but it doesn't matter because the other team stumbles into objectives.
Other team wins, fed person cries about his team when he did nothing to rally his team and take objectives.
Also, if you're 16-0 on any adc, you can and should be 1v5'ing and soloing every dragon.
actually you farm for only 20-25 minutes at max, after that everyone goes mid. it does not matter that top has an open inhibitor, it has to be mid.

i have first hand experiences.

You have to win the game.
Its simple if you want to get to silver you win games.

OK that explanation was terrible. You are probably wondering why your team is so bad.
You are not making calls you are letting your team make the calls which means the game is out of your control. You have to do more than do well you have to play as a team.
Oh yeah and blame your jungler.
Pretty much that attitude.
