I followed many tips, honed my skill over time. And after many months I escaped the clutches of bronze, into iron. I’m going to cry.

0-1 bot lane death at 9 minutes it’s absolutely unheard of in bronze

I was bronze . I was mad . I was stuck . They told me to get good. I played . I still was hardstuck. I took my favorite and best champion . I only played him . I limit tested every new match up to new what nonsense i could do in x match up to get a advantage and break their mental. Now I'm no longer stuck in bronze . I'm stuck in iron with a green tint to it 🙃.

You can say what you are doing is the most basic of things, but in reality, it is not. Coach Curtis realized this after his adventures in bronze as well. The things you auto-do because of your experience and level of normal play will have you stomp most bronze games. It's like having Usain Bolt run against high schoolers with one arm tied behind his back. That kind of handicap doesn't matter when there are so so so many more important things at play.

I once had a friend tell me I couldn't climb his hardstuck bronze acc to gold. I'm a low plat jungler and it took me 2 days with a 85% winrate.... I'm not even that stuck in plat I just dont play as much. My average k/d is 13/6 in last 20 games and only 50% winrate, feeding teammates everywhere. I could claim I'm in losers queue but the reality is probably that I suck at closing out games where I have a lead, and if I improve there I probably climb way more consistent.

Jungle is "weak" because the average League player's mental is weak and they don't know how to mute annoying team mates.

Something high elo player can forget is champion mastery is as important than fundementals. That way your champion interact with your maxro in the way

I think a lot of coaches take for granted that people will know how to play their champs. Farming doesn't matter if you don't know what to do with the gold or how to use your champ abilities.

THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST EDUCATIONAL CHANNEL FOR JGLERS. I kid you not now when im telling i climbed since split 2 started from b3 to plat. This is less than 1 month now. Before watching sinerias i was stuck between gold and silver, split 2 started in b3 cause i did mistakes and my team lost lanes 3 games in a row, and i hard carried since then. OFC, not every game, but most of games i could do 1v9, im now p4, 55% winrate and the journey just begun. I know p4 is not high elo, but i can clearly see ppl playing macro way better , same thing i can say about gold, and this makes my games way more easier cause they actually rotate, ping summs, ping enemy missing and game is actually enjoyable when teammates play the game. worth to mention: im a former master 4 player but since master have been introduced i havent played consistently lol for some years (i ve played like 1-2 weeks ranked, one or two or more months break) and i woke up rusty and in a game with a new map, new camps, new champs, etc. So im considering now myself new to the game, needing to relearn stuff, and capitalize on the fundamentals cause this is how u climb in jungle, anything but fundamentals are pointless if u wanna escape low elo, being otp but with 0 fundamentals (when to gank, when to split, when to retreat, when to objective etc.) will keep u hardstuck, for exemple, cause if u can secure a lead (by playing mechanical perfect) but lose it as fast as u secured because low macro knowledge., u lose. Yeah, u wont have 100% wr even with applied fundamentals cause u lack some mechanical skills or have laners that went 0/10 for no reason, but i can tell u will win more game then u will lose and therefore u climb.

i went from being hardstuck silver for seasons to emerald 1/d4 in 2 seasons, all I did was watch my own vods and informative channels like this, did it on jng currently at plat 2 with 74 percent wr on my main from watching alois. also you need to drop ego and realize you know nothing, helps alot but most people like to complain instead of work hard, same with the gym, no matter how much I tell ppl its just consistency and basics they dont believe it.

i feel like the people making these posts are the same people that invade with no prio in their lanes and then complain and flame their laners for not rotating

I've climbed to plat recently for the first time on a jungle only account and the biggest thing that junglers (and pretty much any player) in low elo mess up is not knowing how to build a tempo advantage over the enemy and take what is guaranteed to create an advantage. Every bronze stuck player is not doing 3 key things: 1)Getting players better than them to review their game play 2) Watching and and learning from watching better players to mimic what they do well 3) Creating learning plans for themselves to consciously improve something specific Yes, in bronze the team mates are usually horrible, but the enemy players are also just as horrible. Put a Plat jungler in a bronze game and they will carry 9/10 times when with the worst team mates. To really optimize the win percentage, playing carry junglers that can 1v5 the enemy team when they are ahead like Belveth, Brand, Nocturn, etc. If you want to climb, playing champs that don't need your team mates to also be winning is really helpful. Also, stop playing random champions every other game. Pick like 2 or 3 and never play anything else until you've mastered them. That way you'll know the champions and match ups really well and can spend more time thinking about how to win the game instead of what the champion does. I've seen so many people randomly pick some champ they haven't played in 9 months in ranked just because they see it's the best "counterpick" only to run it down because they have no idea what they are doing. Stick to what you know and you'll be much more consistent, and consistency is what climbing in ranked is all about.

29:32 insanely funny bit giving big "how the fuck is cyberbullying real just close your eyes" energy best part is that it's true, if you're getting tilted on league for ANYTHING ELSE than playing bad yourself it's time to reconsider your mindset

The plot was crazy xD gg wp didnt saw that comming

Thank you so much Sinerias. Please release more content like this! I also want to conquer like you.

I used to think it was impossible too. I climbed out of bronze and now im struggling in silver 4 - 3. Is wot it is just keep playing.

Amazing as always. As low elo player myself when I lost drake, or die I just get mad on myself, forget which camps I just cleared, then I tilt myself even more I wasted my time, then sometimes I try to invade enemy camps on that side if they are empty I am mad, if I die while invading then I feel completely washed up. I don't know what and why I am doing this. The only thing that can help me to return focus is my teammate did some epic play won 1 vs 3, get triple kill, and my brain again started to work. Otherwise, I am lost. At 24:30 when you said even if you die it is fine death. I know how exactly how I feel. I would feel me as only one who have kills died, gave shutdown and I did not get objective. I just did not get it why is "good" to die there if that happens?

the thumbnail is spot on xDDD

The reveal of the elo at the end of the video is insane. You actually are an amazing teacher! Thank you for all your educational content you’re the GOAT of jungle coaching

Wonderful video! Thank you so much Sinerias

Insane video! Well done i sended it to a couple of friends allways coping their team lose their games xd

I wanted to come back from my previous comment and say this. Today I tried exactly what is shown on the video with xin as my champ and the games are far easier. Honestly i am stoned from this. It really works. Ty man

I'll put it this way: The most misunderstood hero in the iron, bronze, even silver league is Karthus... Always accused of not actively engaging in fights, just because he clears his jungle... And at the same time is one of the top banvans in the higher leagues. Before Kartus was recognized as a jungler, I loved playing him there and if I was allowed mid. This is my main mid character. But... Those basic things you showed, it's really hard for a lot of people to understand because they feel under pressure while playing and they can't abstract and just do their job! As a non-adc only player, mostly because of my in-game environment, no other reason, I dare say that people under stress lose their real judgement, and almost every game that classifies people into leagues shows it. Of course, the imago and the physical element in two parts… Is the hardware and internet connection capable of responding on time (This far exceeds even the gold league) The knowledge of what is required of you! I have demonstrated it with a purposely imposed lag of 200 milliseconds ;) I hope they learn something from you

1 game doesn’t mean anything. People who are actually bronze can win bronze games because league isn’t going to let the algorithm let them lose every single game.

13:55 This hurt to watch lol.

While I agree with pretty much everything said here, I would like to criticize the method of presentation: The ONLY way to experimentally back up that this is a reliable method to climb out of bronze is to play this way for a statistically significant number of games IN BRONZE and then show the results. I understand (and appreciate) why you don't wanna do that, but showing a gold game doesn't prove your point. And here's why: The number one argument I see in the posts you mention is "The things I get told by high elo players don't work. The things that win Gold games don't win Bronze games". This is an insidious statement because it's not entirely wrong, just a massively loaded half-truth. Things that make a difference in gold / plat do not make a difference in Bronze, because the things that make the biggest difference in Bronze are mostly nailed down by higher rank players and therefore fade from view as you go up in rank. Another issue is that your mechanics and in-fight decision making (a.k.a. autopilot) are leagues (hehe) better than that of the person you are addressing. A Bronze player in that Diana game might well have died in that mid 2v2 (e.g. by tanking an extra tower shot, walking into a stun, switching focus at a wrong point), then gotten mad at Sylas for "not following properly". One of the reasons the mentality you present is so great is that it allows anyone to really focus on themselves. It would be great if you at least mentioned that explicitly (you implicitly addressed it when you mentioned that you expect to win every single game this way, while others should expect to be in a winning position 70% of the time). I work in the natural sciences. A really important point that we get hammered into our brains time and time again is that when you try to collect experimental evidence you have to make damn sure that your experiment actually validates your prediction. Gold is not Bronze. And one game is not a representative sample. It also doesn't help that the match you are showing is - for lack of better words - a rather tame one. There is no fighting between teammates, nobody (on either side) is feeding their asses off, there was no lopsided poorly executed level 1 bullshit in either jungle, no raging teammates taking entire quadrants in the mid-game, no support sitting in top lane from level 5 on leaving their ADC to rot while simultaneously putting top behind in levels, etc pp. I get the spirit of these videos, I really do. However, there is little point to them unless they present actual solid experimental evidence. Which means in this case: Get a hardstuck Bronze 3 or 4 account and actually push it to silver, then show a representative set of matches with an explanation how they were selected.

Lol you have the exact same title as Coach Curtis' video. Maybe you go into why but I just found that funny.

This is my first season jungling. I left placements in gold. I am LOST on how people are in bronze. All I do is farm and get objectives. I end almost every game 100+ CS above the other jungler, 6 grubs and dragon soul. Its so gratifying to see someone higher ranked than me preaching my philosophy.

I'm emerald and except if teammates farm my jungle consistantly before 20mn or 2 of them disconnect, I don't think I can lose a single bronze or silver game. But it's a hard elo to pass as it's the elo where you litterally start. Meaning that when you do something wrong, it's really hard to understand what you do wrong + people don't watch replay, to compare with what you do Sinerias and realise that no, they didn't finish their 2nd and 3rd full clear but roam around, waste time xp and gold. Bronze is all about full clearing

My biggest gripe with low elo as a jungler is even when my lanes have priority. They don't help take objectives or in fights in the river. It's really irritating.

I watched the video, queued up for a game went on 10,5cs/min 😀 crazy even tho im also using your course but i was struggling a bit and it showed me how easy the game can be.

jungle is the strongest it has ever been in my opinion. The reason is the xp buff to camps, it is preaty easy to keep the same level as the solo laners and the one and a half minute earlier level 6 feels real good

i would like another video on emerald elo. That shit is real elo hell

As someone who was stuck in iron/bronze for 3 seasons and who recently promoted to emerald, I can confidently say that this advice will absolutely get you out of bronze. All you have to do in bronze is play 1-2 champs (preferably full clear champs), focus on your clear/optimizing your speed and don’t overplay on ganks. That’s literally it. Don’t force plays. Focus on your clear every base/clear the same way every game/optimize your clear and gank on the way or at the end of your clear. You will lose some games sure. But you will absolutely win more than you lose.

Man. I love your commentary. I needed this video too. Thank you man.

32:03 lmaoo the reveal

Sinerias I love how you make things simple, I'm a toplaner, I watch you not only to learn a bit of jungle, but also to learn to play around my jungler, and help him get ahead instead of spamming jungle Diff 😅

I think especially right now just full clearing is insane, if low elo players grasp things like jungle tracking and taking enemy camps you will 100% just climb to emerald low without being very proactive (in terms of ganking a lot and capitalizing on summs, ults etc)

this looks a lot like a certain Couch Curtis's thumbnail and video title.....

This comment section is so cringe. The only reason you can't climb out of bronze is because you belong there. You're bad. It's really that simple, cope more and stay bad.

Teaching junglers to ignore calls and early game bad matchups... Have fun getting stuck in silver instead of bronze.

Sinerias great video. But as someone who recently climbed from Iron 1 to silver 1 this split fairly fast playing jungle. One thing you're ignoring is that you do run into about 30-40% of games that are often unwinnable. Especially if you play passive like you are in this video. If everyone else loses lane it is often just unwinnable late game, or if one enemy gets so far ahead for example. Also keep in mind, even if you're "playing worse". You can always lean on your "challenger" ability for either game knowledge, macro and mechanics at any point, for example if someone does a play that is at an emerald level you can easily already know what to do and decide to do if you want to with your already challenger ability. So even if you don't do optimal plays. You ignore the bad ones and are probably playing better than most Gold players in the late game while in bronze for example and how you counter jungle knowing where the enemy jungler will be. As you know how to control win conditions much better than 99.9% of players. I think the most annoying thing about low elo as a jungler especially if those games where you try your hardest, you get fed even, you almost carry your team but still lose due to 1-2 bad players inting. So it would be interesting if you showed a game where you actually lost in low elo, and unwinnable one. Though I know you often go for 100% winrate challenges. Just realise that is not possible for most players. I would also say you underestimate the amount of games where your whole team can get behind, like your second game in low elo. It's not that it's every game, of course not. But it's that it's like 1/10 games. People coin flip a lot. And almost every other game you have someone who's inting their lane and can't help but keep dying over and over. Leading to at least one enemy you cannot fight. Lastly, as a briar player with an almost 70% winrate in silver 1, soon to be low gold. I do definitely have a hard time on that champ as opposed to Diana, with actually having low deaths like you say. Of course, some games I do, but my overall KDA is lots of deaths but even more kills... So maybe I need to learn to know when to play more passive in some games. Though, I am not of the belief that anyone is hardstuck or losers queue like some. I think it is just quite unfun to lose games you can't win, and how toxic the player base is. It can make you yourself become toxic too, or just not speak. Especially as jungler with people who are either blind or blaming you for them losing lane on their own.

Anyone who is stuck in some elo and does not realize it's their own lack of skill is on some massive copium. Get good.

''i am bronze because of my team mates'' OMEGALUL

I did this for 10 games, heres the results: Note: full commitment to this video guide of totally ignoring ganks/objectives until ~20ish min 3/10 Games: Super fed, ez win 2/10 Games: lost yet still good stats like 9-2 5/10 Games: they were on our nexus around 14min cus super fed by team the take: CS matters and with a good jngl CS you make more impact to the game than ganking all the time. However, if all lanes are failing hard then Player Count Advantage is NEEDED before mid game or it will be too late as enemy fed champs will eventually one shot you in your own jungle

Bro thinks hes Coach Curtis💀💀

Thanks for teaching!

I don't play jungle, but I 100% agree with what you are saying. There is a notion that "some accounts are just hardstuck" or "I'm in losers queue" or "if you take a high elo player, even they can't climb on my account." The bull crap and utter nonsense in that line of thinking is mind boggling. It's like these players are flailing on their backs in a pig pen claiming that they are stuck in quick sand. Take some accountability. Your teamates are not the reason you are in a specific elo. Focus on your gameplay because that is the only metric that you can reliably account for. Fundamentals, clearing/wave states, champ mastery, matchup understanding, win cons, ect, ALL of these are in your control. Some games you will win easily, aka your team just stomps. Some games you will lose easily, aka your team feeds. It's up to each player how they decide to respond. Pointing the finger at someone else or Riot as a whole is the weakest mindset and only perpetuates this mind virus that is plaguing the game. Sorry for the rant, but I'm tired of people not taking an ounce of responsibility in this game. It's easy to continue in the cycle of "my team is always bad, enemy team always is better." It's difficult to put the onus on yourself and be critical of your mistakes.

Genuine question. Highest i ever hit was Gold at one point, and I stopped playing ranked a while ago. What do you do in the lower ELOs when you're relatively consistently winning lane, but almost every other lane is losing? For instance, last game I played I was doing pretty fine. Something like 2/1 with 70 cs at like 9 minutes. Top lane died 2 or 3 times before I ever even did my first clear. Bot lane died twice before 4 minutes. Top ended the game like 1/10 with an absurdly low cs value and no complete item, and bot ended like 6/12. I can generate an advantage, but I can't consistently generate enough of an advantage to combat an early fed carry. What do? Edit for clarity: 90% of the like 12 kills the top and bot had were solo, no jungler.

just saw this video, can confirm even though im a top laner, if you mute and JUST focus on fundamentals like CS, properly helping team and where to go if your team is inting, youll climb much faster.

I don't necessarily think Jungle is weak, or in a bad spot, but I do think it feels bad to play, or rather I should say demanding. It requires the most constant awareness of where you're needed and what you can get away with doing or not doing. And if your lanes refuse to rotate to help if you get invaded early, or to assist with objectives you just lose games. It's happened multiple times (mind, these were all on the same season of Ranked, all within about 2 months of one another when I tried to climb near the end of Season 11) where I take one kill from my ADC during a gank and they just mental boom and either AFK, start feeding, or follow me around the map to steal my camps. Multiple instances of this in a relatively short period. Demotivated me to play Ranked. Every role has its problems, but carrying as a Jungler feels *very* dependent on how well the rest of your team plays when compared to Mid or ADC

It's always easier to climb when your rank is much higher than the rank you're playing at. Some roles and champs might really be hard for people worth only 1 league above.

The goat thanks for the coaching!

it's actually much harder to do this player vs. monster thing, I tried a few times in the practice tool and always come out a few seconds later then you do it.

bro i just watched this video and didnt expect anythiing from it, i tought hmm.. imma try this that just farming thing and damm, my team were hard losing i was just farming and taking most obvious ganks. we won i got 277cs and enemy jg was 212cs. tysm for that video this helped me alot.

For those who are in iron, bronze or even silver and feel like they can't climb up you just go up and down I can offer this advice to possibly free you from this 'teams are bad' mindset. I've played the game for 12 years with large gaps in playing ranked so I've played all over the ranks (below diamond). I've at times for years been heavily involved in ranked, watching LCS and analyzing the game and other times where I only played casually and not even touch ranked for years. Haven't been in bronze much at all but when I was placed there I quickly climbed to silver. Think about your losses if you understand the game. Instead of blaming teammates who messed up or fell behind reflect about how the game went from early-late and ask yourself a couple questions. If the game was even or I was ahead, did I do enough to carry? Or if your team was behind 'was I one of the reasons we fell behind?' Try to identify the main reasons for the loss (I emphasize NOT WHO MADE the GAME LOSING PLAY I'm talking all mistakes throughout the whole game). Also, if you were late in the draft, did I pick a champion that synergized with our team comp? Its not as important as decision-making in-game however if you're last pick top and your team has jinx, soraka, master yi and zed, locking in yasuo instead of a tank and/or ap champ like rumble or malphite lowers your chance of winning the game right at the start because that comp is unbalanced and makes teamfights or late game in general difficult to win. If you take an honest look at your role in the lost game if you just went even and had an average impact on a close game you can't really complain at a loss even if one of your teammates made the game losing play. If you were the only one who got an early lead, did you snowball or throw away your lead needlessly? You should've been able to do more to bring your team into a winning position hence deserving to climb. And if you lost early game solo, made poor calls or plays that resulted in you or teammates dying or falling behind you definitely can't blame teammates for the loss. A common victim mentality are laners complaining that they are getting camped. Yes it is a mechanic of the game that can keep 1 player down; however if you know you're getting camped after the 2nd gank you can adapt your playstyle, play safe under turret and stop dying or at least make them dive for it. If you learn to play dives well you can even get kills on the enemy team which really puts them behind. If you feed the enemy jungler 4-5 kills from ganks and the enemy team snowballs off that, its mostly your fault. Its very hard for your jungler to keep up pressure when you're dying so often to the enemy jungler. It basically means the enemy team has to be as bad at surviving ganks as you are and they have to get 5 gank kills to compensate which doesn't often happen. I play a lot of jungle and I've had games where my team died to 3 ganks before even my first clear was done and the enemy jungler starts 2/0/1. It puts your jungler in a very bad position and its hard to take any ganks or objectives proactively after that since the other jungler and 1-2 lanes are ahead now. Remember, if you died to that many ganks early, you can't put all the blame on your jungler later in the game for being 'gapped' or out pressured, I see this all the time. If your team fed the enemy jungler by dying to practically every gank they tried in the early game its mostly your laners' fault, do not blame the jungler.

I switched from top to jungle and climbed out of bronze immediately. It's the easiest to climb with because your farm is trivial, you can get make an impact in every lane, and you can help with every objective. It's so much easier.

In a usual game 9:10 bear is pushing like no tommorrow. He gets ganged by brand and flames. 10:30 sylas ky in tower you dont get assist, he dies. Flames you 11:00 your bot dies, both of them. They flame you. 12:30 you try take voidgrubs and you are getting ganged by fed top and middlane. You die. At the same time brand gets free dragon My point is that you can teach in a game where you win 3-2. How about 4-0?

i appreciate your content, so id like to give some input that may help you grow. to say something is easy can be demeaning. its kinda like well you should obviously already know x y z. i want to mention many things u do in ths is not 'easy'. just atching ur first gank in 1, ur movement is built on hundreds of hours of practice. u dont walk into tower, u know when and why to turn. u bait out their abilities etc. there was a lot you did there the average bronze wouldnt know. i agree with idea to simplify it , go scuttle to scuttle but what ur doing is skilled even if you're trying to simplify it. i saw this in another video too and thought it was worth bringing up. ill be watching more stuff, thanks again for it!

this videos is not totally fair. Jungle has been buffed recently with the exp we are all getting since last week and some of those posts are from before the buff...so jungle was VERY behind a solo laner for a normal jungler...you are challenger so its no the same. This being said i like your video and you are totally right. thanks for sharing your knowledge sinerias. love you

A lot of people including myself complain about climbing when they don't realize we're just bad at league. You have to go like 80-90% to climb up to platinum lol

my own personal experience climbing on an account I leveled myself to 30 then hit ranked all the way up to plat only to fall back down to silver due to int feeding team mates, every role can carry, even enchanter support as long as one of your team mates do not int.

bronze you do get much much worse games than this. But a smurf just has good mechanics that a bronze player doesn't. You dont waste any movements whatsoever. Very cool to watch Thank you for the video. Keep up the good content.

When WW and Yi are on level with other chars, then everyone else cries. My ranking in Iron keeps going down no matter how much I improve. After I've had a good game the match system rewards me with a special "regarded" team. Often I'm literally expected to carry 4 people. Many times it feels like I''m top or 2nd player on my team and lower skill than EVERY player on the other team. How can I climb like this.

"Basic stuff" then proceeds to say, "I noticed he used his Q and that's why I turn" lmao. A lot of bronze play locked screen or once focused on an obj they don't look back to where they just were.

22:45 this happens pretty often. People then flame and spam "just ff".

Sadly Sinerias I think you are a little bit disconnected from reality. You can only carry these low Elo games if you are DRAMATICALLY better than everyone else. Being slightly better than the Elo you are in, just isn't enough to climb and IF you are an unlucky person, you CAN theoritically get teams that lose in the first few minutes, doesn't matter if you out jungle the enemy jungler when the rest of the lanes are dominating. Sure someone like You, a challenger can do something about it, but even a Plat player like myself will still lose in Bronze lobbies a lot.

I literally just did this tactic. by 8 minutes the score was 1-10 their enemy jg was 6-0 and we ff at 15 minutes.

ok but it should include situations when crab is contested or your lanes are gigaganked by enemy jungler successfully. these 2 vids are clickbait cuz this isn't the majority of games.

I'm an emerald jungle main and I tried autofill for about 30 games and 99% of the time I got filled as jungler it is indeed the least popular role. So dear laners, if every game is a jungle diff and if jungle is that easy and that decisive because most of you seem to know how to play the role better than actual junglers, why don't you just play the fuckin role and 1v9 every game instead of coin flipping your game based solely on how your jungle performs?

IMO (jungle main here), jungle is the easiest role to climb up to plat/emerald with. You don't need to understand match ups so much. There isn't as much variability b/c you can PVE a lot and take the momentum of the game into your own hands. Unlike in laning where if you take one bad trade, you can be stuck under tower or at the mercy of your/enemy jungler. Just put together a list of what to do in sequence and literally just follow that list. You can learn to adapt it to situations later. This list will probably get you to around minute 14 when Rift Herald spawns. Then it isn't as set in stone. If you follow this list over and over and over (20 games?), you'll start to feel the rigidity of it and get a sense of when you can adapt. If you are going to prioritize ANYTHING, just farm your camps. Then, understand your champion. Following Sinerias advice, pick one champion. Spend time in practice tool with it. Want an extra challenge? Turn the setting on to hide UI, get comfortable with just your champion. Try to get a feel for when cooldowns are up without needing to look. Before you play any games each day, just spend 30 minutes in practice tool being creative. Maybe practice how fast you can clear starting at red or at blue. Maybe practice combos on a target dummy, doing the same combo five times, restarting the count if you mess it up. Do a combo slow, then do it fast. What happens if you wait a few moments in between each skill, can you chain together another combo? TL;DR - Build your instinct, then you won't have to think so much. The "steps" are easily copied from watching a pro like Sinerias. Stop thinking so hard. Build yourself guidelines.

If no one tilted and left the game, it wasnt bronze.

Muting chat is an absolute must. You will still get hard flamed even of you are playing absolutely perfect. Low elo players are a different breed

The idea of elo hell is an idea not grasped easily. I have climbed my way up from Iron IV to Silver something once, and I can't seem to do it again. I play Sion top. For a long time, I haven't really enjoyed the game and of course, after Baus, I picked up on Sion and now I'm fairly enjoying the game. He's a chill champion and I can find a good balance between inting and not inting for me to reliably win my lane. I played my placements game today after having dropped league for a while, and out of 5 games, I lost 4. Back to back. I only won one, because I killed my enemy laner once and he went afk. But all the other times, I lost without a say in the game. We had stats over on the enemies side like 30 kills, little to no deaths. Of course it's easy for a Challenger to climb. Of course it's especially easy for a challenger with a role that affects the game mostly. But what if I don't aim for challenger? I aim for gold or something. When I climbed really hard, out of Iron that I mentioned earlier, I had 60+% win rate on Sion and I was playing almost every game against gold players. So you are telling me, I'm fine with gold players one season, but hardstuck Iron the other? I guess I just had bad luck, but I will have to say that yours is not an accurate representation of the playerbase that really is looking for help.

13:57 Soraka inting and letting Renata live was hilariously bronze

TIL that if you actually play with bronze teammates they wont be good enough to pull their heads out of the tilt. Most will just keep doubling down on being mad and feeding thus giving you no chance.

Much like chess, tempo and positioning are more important than taking pieces. Farm > objectives > turrets >kills - there is variance, however and you will get rng’d.

I struggle with teammates, that dont want to gank me, because I main a champ "that doesnt require skill", like yeah Darius is very easy to play or "Why did you pick first then?". Man everyones below 100 IQ in bronze, just saying build anti heal 2nd item is a pure insult.

You can't turn off your skills and knowledge. 1st Game - You warded Brand's Baron-side jungle, and then you warded Brand's Dragon-side jungle without explaining WHY you are doing it. If this is part of "fundamentals" you need to explain this. You made a simple gank just by pathing into the lane that you turned into a kill and burned the Brand's flash by capitalizing on the Brand's counter gank. You swapped to red trinket without commenting on WHY you swapped, and then started sweeping. Showed up mid-lane to pressure Akali to back off the wave. Didn't do anything, but, just walking in and pathing to your bot side camps relieves pressure. You steal Blue Buff because you know that Brand won't be there. 14:00 - "You get a kill here because it is the most obvious thing that could happen". WHY?! WHY IS IT THE MOST OBVIOUS THING THAT COULD HAPPEN? Is it because after you took Skuttle you checked bot side and saw the Renata and Smolder were overextended and the Renata had used her shield while Smolder was out of mana?

people forget: bronze is the pool of smurfs. therefore if one hasnt been higher than bronze its hard to recognize it and climb out. Climb only by performance.

I cant stand ranked. I had more than 15 back to back matches where we had two or more players quit a match during my matches to get out of my rankings. Most people are just toxic and it makes it so hard to enjoy this game some times.

Jgl way too frustrating in low elo, nobody listens to calls. Climbed fastest when I played top lane, just chill and farm and don’t tank lane, split push. Easier to have one decent/even lane than have 3 losing lanes as a jungler

I did exactly and only this for the last ~1,5 years and I climbed to master. If anyone has any doubts - it really is that easy.

I can't believe this is still a debate in the league community. If you can't climb in low elo you're obviously making many mistake and don't even get fundamentals right. If there is an elo hell, how come boosters will get u to high elo within a few days? I've been consistently boosting people to high elo starting from any mmr and I wouldn't even consider myself good at the game.

you obviously haven't played much in bronze

idk man I watched a friend play in iron (legit iron player) and from what I saw in that game is that literally no one was thinking critically (or at all sometimes) scenario: you a lux, see a jax near you who cleared your ward, your first primal basic instinct on which you act on is go ward again instantly... bro I was yelling on the top of my lungs "JUST RUN AWAY", she went, warded, one shoted... I saw that death 5000 years into the future 😂 I am just plat/emerald, I make mistakes like these in the heat of the battle as well but I know when I see a monster coming to me from another lane to just RUN, if he was anywhere near close like the next brush, idk tp, go to tower get executed, get as much farm as possible before he gets to me, don't just go to him 😂

just made it into emerald for the first time, but as support. there I usually accept, that a 0/8 toplane will loosing mid will loose me the game, because even a full team can kill a fed tham kench or similar tank. even if my ADC is 8/0 as well, its incredibly hard. but I can still win the other 8-9 games.

Meanwhile, Tarzaned in Challenger still complaining about Jungle being weak. Personal accountability is not something you ever really find in league players.

This is how i left bronze years ago as a jungle main: Pick Kayn or Shyvana Farm your camps Farm the enemy camps Farm your dead teamates minions Repeat steps 2-4 I climbed from bronze to gold without learning how to gank, that speaks volumes as to how bad i really was vs how good i thought i was.

Really good video, but in my experience griefers in bronze are gonna grief MORE if you focus CS and ignore your team, not less

I agree with everything in this video but I will say this: just like there are games in higher elo that you cannot win bronze will have a few of those as well. 100% WR in bronze is impractical, of the ~25 games that you play in bronze you’ll have at least one where the adc or top lane refuses to play

Sinerias, you are absolutely my favorite person in the League of Legends community. if it wasn't for your positivity and wisdom, I would have surely quit playing this game.

These high elo players play one game in low elo and think nobody knows how to farm or trade or even managing CS in Bronze. Its alot more complicated than that. People in low elo know alot as well. They know most of it its just always one of the lane losing so hard and that ruins the game.

I was a long time bronze/silver player, Grand Master Challenger in season 3, but rest of the season i was stuck in bronze/silver, then this season i got placed in Emerald, no issue playing here, seems to me it was Bronze skill level to me, ofc there is a little more macro and more CS but people do the same mistake in plays and some people dont ward at all, now i am stuck here :) not getting younger and i am not delusional about my skill level, i am not young anymore.

What I've learned in bronze is full insecurity, you will have full counters lose lane, absolutely no vision and then random cracked vision on the lane u have prior in its just a complete roll of the dice.

Thank you! This video helped me get my priorities straight while jungling

In my opinion jungle is the strongest game controller, focus weak side and dominate 1-2 Lanes. Scale properly and win the game.

I understand and agree with the concept here, but to say almost no bronze games go that badly is absurd.. at least 1 game a night, and I usually play ~5 a night. One of my lanes will be like 0-7 at 10 min

This game doesn't look like bronze. In a normal game below platinum, the situation of 5/4 at 10 minutes is something unrealistic. You are much more likely to see an absolute clownfiesta in grandmaster+ game than the game at low ranks where the lanes are more or less even. I have climbed out of bronze, silver, gold, platinum hundreds of times on different accounts and I will say that at the lower ranks the style of play shown in this video is a 100% coin flip.

Bro how are these so low elo players so delusional
