We need more content creators like this for low elo. The high elo players are great but the disconnect between high and low elo is very large.

As a challenger player it’s so interesting to hear other peoples takes on the game from lower elos. I coach pro players and pro teams so I’m personally surrounded by people who know almost everything about the game. And it was interesting to hear how you spoke about the challenges you face in this vid. No real feedback I just enjoyed the content. Have a great day 👍

Im a Silver4 player and I liked how simple and straightforward the video was. Im focusing on a lot of details to improve in League, but simple keeping a cool mindset won me way more games. Something I often forget and it makes me struggle to climb by feeding the enemy laner too much.

When I used to play I have like this anxiety for ranked queue. My heartbeat would rise and I will feel nervous as soon as I get into drafting phase. During each game I would feel conscious of my every action, and I will start to tilt on myself when I miss CS or lose fights. Some people are indeed just stuck in the toxic loop, but in my experience, I would be tilted when I am doing pretty well and my team starts to give enemies advantages. I stopped playing years ago, and never looked back, but I'm afraid there are a lot more people like me who are just ultra nervous the entire time, and your comment about the low elo players all feeling like they are on edge reminds me of my past experience. Maybe some of these are indeed just trigger-happy toxic gamers, but maybe some of them are just tired and stressed like I was.

"I don't have a script or anything it's coming straight from the heart" I appreciate it

This is a great vid about low elo, I’ve never had trouble climbing out of any of the ranks up till plat where I haven’t tried to climb out of yet. But my mentality couldn’t of been better reflected in this video. League ranked is a mental test and the best way to play league is to try no to tilt, play the best you can, understand not every game is winnable. But also understand in every league game there is something you can do better and improve on. Thinking you’re better than your own rank is a noob trap. Always hold yourself accountable in a league game if you want to improve.

as an emerald player, i would say the most important thing in order to climb out of low elo is just simply turning off chat and actually knowing how your champion works. you will be better than 90% of the players in iron-silver

ive had kinda a cynic view on ranked after kinda stagnating in d4/d3 but this kind of content always somehow motivates me to at least try knowing theres always something you can learn or enjoy playing the game. gl in your future games king 👑

i loved this!! you actually think about the game like me you just play it and have fun with it. my GOD this refreshing. instant sub

i went from bronze to d2 in few seasons and i think the most important thing is basis like objectives, knowing ur champions, playing 1 role, knowing how to play on map and its also good when u have good skill

A Jhin enthusiast, much respect. You gain my sub kind sir. I'm struggling in the depths of plat hell and your advice honestly is useful for there too. This game is pretty much about who mental booms first and your team will often than not be so frustrating to play with, but you gotta pick up every advantage you can get and stay positive. I trust you can keep climbing with the mindset in your video.

it's nice to see people enjoying the game, no one wants to watch someone just be depressed and complain all the time that's just gonna put me in a bad mood too

Very useful tips and the mentality is really on the perfect spot. Focus on your own gameplay and enjoying your improvement, shit happens but you can always learn a thing or two through the worst games, and that'll be instinctively applied on future games throughout your climb

What you said in the first two minutes about the mental aspect is super important and a real game changer for everyone playing in bronze-platinum. Like improving that stuff alone can make you climb fast

It's just really nice to see someone else enjoying league as much as I do. 💕 For the sake of it. Improving whenever possible. Good luck, man. GG. 🥰

Dude this is awesome. Recently got back into league after a couple years away. Having fun, trying to keep it to "just a game" but obviously sometimes I get real invested and a loss hurts

Thats what we needed, the low elo climb from the perspective of a low elo

Climbing in this season is extremely easier than the previous ones. No promos, huge LP gains and lower LP losses. Literally Riot made it so easy for low elo players to reach Gold. I was getting blasted because I took a pretty long break but now I'm back and climbed to gold 3 in like a week from Silver 3. Honestly, most players I see have no eyes and tunnel vision. If you just stop for one second and think then you will see opportunities or avoid shitty choices. Also, stop aram mid when you have a free baron up, so many times my teammates are all mid for no reason while I spam ping baron and two of the enemies are dead.

Hey just wanted you to know I sent this to some of my friends who were new to the game a while ago. You encapsulate the feeling of being a new player well, great video. I hope the game has treated you well. Funny enough being a new player has the potential to be the most fun. I have only jungled for the first 4 years of playing league, but about 6 months ago I committed to learning lane and it reminded me about the fun of learning again. I went from being a masters jungler to a gold laner on the new account, but the feeling of improving made it so enjoyable. I think the problem for true new players is not understanding ENOUGH of the fundamentals to actually learn the game. I hope you enjoyed the experience a lot.

as someone climbing from iron 3 into bronce 3 in the span of a month i can really see how helpful is this, thnx for the vid bro

Thank you for making this video as somone in low elo I feel like there’s very little KZfaqrs who are open about being low elo and your tips are realy good thank you

I love seeing league content from low elo/new players, keep it coming

Love the content and your view of the games. Keep the grind up man you got this :)

my biggest tip for players in any rank was to find a champ you enjoy, if you're having fun and not tilting you will improve faster and win more. great video :D

Absolutely solid video, as a hard stuck emerald 2 jhin 1 trick, you're gonna keep climbing with this mentality.

Hey man, really good video, keep it up I may not be a low elo player, Im Master + but I can confirm that the mentality is one of the most important aspects in the game, mentality can make the difference between D1 and Challengers

Just wanna throw my 2 cents out here instead of only replying. First off, great content. I love the honesty and humility you took in problem solving the factors relating to your climb experience and how you turned that into advice for others. Secondly, the addition of emerald was part of a Riot effort to flatten the ranked curve that previously existed with a large distribution of players getting stuck in silver/gold. Alot of people are equating this change to a free rank up, but statistically speaking Iron and Bronze now have more players than before aswell as plat. Which basically means alot of low-silvers got flushed down a bit and only the higher rank silvers got to cruise into gold. Gold generally from what ive seen had a mostly upward trend, with low gold becoming high gold, and high gold becoming platinum. As it stands emerald is growing, so its hard to say so far if it will outgrow iron and bronze and prove an overall upward shift like everyone thinks it will. For now tho, i will say Plat is an interesting rank with alot of older Plat 4s actually dropping to gold without the promotion series and demotion protection systems. Theres a healthy flow and alot of that has to do with people who werent playing ranked before trying it out to see if theyre more successful now than in the past. My point in all this ranting; dont devalue your accomplishments just because some guy said climbing a division doesnt matter. Its still sick that youre climbing and as long as youre learning and improving theres no reason to say you arent "really climbing".

So I watched the video and read a lot of the comments here and I just wanted to say a few things. First things first I've been playing league for little over 10 years now, I'm Emerald 4 EUW currently so I'm not really a high elo player but I also only play like two hundred ranked games a season cause I switch accounts a lot to play with friends. I just wanted to adress the fact that a lot of you guys feel anxious/nervous when in champ select/ game. Trust me this feeling will go away after a while, I had the same issues but as I played more games and realized that this game is nothing but a mental war it got way better. My advice for all of you guys is to just /mute all every game, enjoy the game, the learning stages and don't be afarid to make mistakes or go for risky plays as these ar the kinds of situations that will improve your gameplay the most. League is agreta game with a shitty community so you just gotta accept the fact that you'll be flamed for no reason sometimes and just live with it. Thanks to everyone that read all this and I wish you the best of luck on your climb

After coming from a super tilting team were i was 4/0 with an 1/19 shaco/yi-botlane the things you said about staying calm and collected are so right. Iimmediately felt relieved after you said these things and realized you are 100% right. Thanks bro

As a 44 year old man I'm somewhat of a unicorn when it comes to this game there's very few people I know of that playat my age that being said I don't know if it was the you can't teach an old guy new tricks or what but I started ranked s6 and it was bronze 5 then b3 next two seasons I was in silver s10 I hit g3 and have stayed in high gold ever since until this past season split I finally have hit plat 4 which is mid elo I call it and for a old timer I'm good with it. What you Said about limiting your champ pool is how I started climbing that and avoiding playing with friends because they expect you to always come save them when they do something dumb. I 2 trick Teemo amd Heimer and play everything but jg. Good video it is nice to see a lower elo guy make a video that lower elo people can learn from and relate too. You got yourself a new sub

I srsly thought you were AT LEAST 10K + subs. Best advice ever

in low elo everyone is on edge because they want to get out, and a lot of players really just want out so bad that any micro mistake makes it in their eyes a million times more difficult to get out

It was high elo players that taught their low elo audience the mentality of absolutely blasting your team with pings.. except low elo people have the game awareness of a shoe

I'm a master zed otp, here's some tips for low elo mid laners - Don't die; Learn champion ranges and their cooldowns, stay out of the range and when they use an ability ( either miss u or use it on minions ) walk up while their ability is on cooldown and safely farm for a few seconds or use an ability on them. Look at your jungler; be prepared to help him with crabs and dragons, maybe even follow him up on a gank if there's no wave mid Don't die to ganks; Ward enemy raptors whenever get your minions under enemy tower ( you'll know that you need to stay away from that side then ). Or if you have an escape ability, don't use it after you pass the half way line of midlane, for example i always save Zed W, if you don't have an escape ability id recommend not passing the half way line unless you know where the enemy jungler is. Push lanes; Make sure that all lanes are pushed, if your Toplaner is top, your botlane mid, don't go mid, push the free lane ( bot lane in this example), but make sure that you are there for dragon fights or even baren fights, teleport is a good summoner spell to have on most midlaners atm. Destroy towers; If there's 2 towers destroyed bot and mid, and none top, destroy the top towers. ( unless dragon is up ) You get lots of gold by destroying towers and also there's pressure then on that lane, forcing at least one enemy to go to that lane to clean up. Mage/Assassin Teamfights; Now there's different jobs for different roles, but to simplify: Assassins - Most of the time you'll go for the adc in team fights, but there are cases where you need to go after champions like Millio/Soraka etc. Maybe even if their botlane is completely useless you should all in the other fed laner and do as much damage/kill them asap. Mage - Again it's important to know enemy range, so that you don't get caught. Your role is to do as much damage in the team fights as you can, from their frontline to their back line ( as you'll die if you instantly go for their backline ). But again there are cases where their adc will get fed, and their death is the key to winning the fight, in which case you might need to just all in them by flashing onto them or catching them mispositioned. Hope this helped

the fun part indeed my friend, when you get to the point where you understand the game at a deeper level the tilt just tenfolds bc you know what should be happening and can't make it happen. and thus "feelsbadman".

Consistency is key. If you play every game with a consistent level, you will climb :)

As an analyst on the game for esports and a high elo player ima be honest you have some really good takes on the game. I will agree with pretty much everything and you are not wrong at all. You have a really good knowledge for your rank not gonna lie , you kinda impressed me. And yea on soloQ at least the better mental you have the easiest to win it is. Even in high elo on my games i just see people raging and spamming ff just cos of 1 death when we are just 8k gold ahead which is extremely good. Also better team comps help but on soloQ thats not something you can deal with since teammates will just pick whatever honestly, but having a good champ pool and also be able to use meta champs each patch really make a difference , also banning correctly and wisely is useful. Some people think bans are a waste but for real they are not. Keep up the good work bro , you have big potential if u wanna climb and keep enjoying the game. You know a lot of stuff. The big difference on lower ranks with higher ranks is how they play the map and knowing when to recall and not. Also wave managements since they give a lot of xp and gold advantage if u know that well. If you understand the map and when to fight and when not aswell which objectives u can get and when is a big advantage. I believe a lot of gold players have the mechanical skill of a master-gm player for example , they just lack insanely on map awareness and decisions on where to be and when to be. It is just a theory you have to learn if you wanna climb :D

Every league player needs this attitude

i've only been playing league for a month but recently began playing more as i started to enjoy it quite a bit. i honestly enjoyed listening to this video, in a way it was pretty refreshing to hear :D hope you keep making some more league content!

As a guy that played in almost all elo brackets in the last 3 years I say these tips are solid for the whole ranked ladder

I'm glad someone is saying that not every game is your fault and that it is okay to lose. I understand that when higher elo people say "if you lose, it's your fault", they really mean there was something you could have done to make it less of a stomp than it was. Thing is, even if that WAS the case, that mindset in general isn't healthy. Yes, there's always your own gameplay to consider, but to say it's always your fault is crazy. High elo people blame others all the time in their games for their losses!

Love the mentality, as Silver surfer I also Never let tilt catch me. I suck at the Game and I know it. Thats why I am not Challenger. Improving Skills is the fun part. Winning Games and climbing is the Cherry on the top

One thing I’ll say is that with the addition of emerald it is now much easier to get out of low low elo because everything below diamond pretty much got roughly bumped up a division silver being new gold, gold being new plat, plat being new emeralds etc

just chanced upon this video as i was about to queue up in low elo lol. i will say that for a random guy with 100 subscribers you are pretty well-articulated and easy to listen to. you should definitely try to increase your production quality and make more content because this video was a pleasant surprise on my front page.

I can promise you one thing: If you keep this curious and introspective view of the game, it will FOREVER be the "fun part of League" because it is an endless exploration and you always learn something new. Pro players learn new things all the time. Challenger players learn new things all the time. It took me a year of hard work after 9 years of being Platinum to actually get to Diamond and I even peaked Master. For the first time I took the game seriously and took it for it is.There is always something to learn. And I find the game today to be more fun than it ever was these past 11 years of playing it because I treat the game with respect and keep my ego in check. The amount of mistakes you make even at the highest levels is palpable. The type of mistakes and frequency are different, of course, but never gone. Especially the mental part. That was such a fun video to watch. Im glad you had this experience and you have such a healthy view of the game. Keep it up!!

Few tips i could give as Pisslow Master player for climbing in low elo are: 1. Mute everyone if you are easily tilted 2. Play to improve and not to win games (having a wining team is always nice but it only takes you so far, since your mmr will be low, climing at this point wont matter if you dont get any better) 3. For Support mains, if you play solo ranked avoid enchanter supports and play champs with impact (Rell,Bliz,Nautilus) or high dmg (Lux,brand,Zyra,etc). i find the support role the most hard one to climb in low elo since if your team sucks specially the adc you wont be able to carry them no matter how good your roaming, vision or your saves are, they will still be out of position and do mistakes. 4. Stick to 1 main Role and 2 main champs (the most basic and effective tip). Having 1 main role and actually understanding how to macro and 2 main champs for that role, preferably 1 meta champ with consistent winrate and 1 champ you like playing , this will drastically improve your climing. (2 champs incase of banning or counterpick) TBH Meta does not really matter in lower elo since the team with the least mistakes and better mechanics wins. (different story In higher elo tho) 5. Pick Your Premades Wisely. If your premades is terrible and they dont really care about wining or improving, dont play solo/duo games with them they will only make the games harder for you and your team. Even if you boost them in higher elo it will get to a point they wont be able to play the game bcs of a huge skill gap. 6. A more andvaced tip is to understand the Core Concepts like wincon,macro-micro,lane prio,etc. For example lots poeple know what lane prio means but they dont understand the concept of it.

0:30 can confirm as former master every player is hurt somewhat and pings you for every mistake

Nice video! Also High Enough by Conro is a goatee song, nice choice.

I recently went into low elo to help fix my friend’s MMR. I can say from first hand experience that players in low elo (from iron to silver) have a “main character” complex in that if they aren’t winning their lane, they will run the game down even if you are hard carrying them. The mental boom in these elo in particular make the game less enjoyable and make it difficult for someone that isn’t smurfing to climb (especially when LP gain is 15 and LP loss is -36). Having experienced this, I believe riot needs to make sure LP gain should never be this bad for low elo but instead make it possible in high elo as gatekeeping low elo is stupid as hell.

thanks i've been getting gaslit for years having a small champ pool and having teammates who just should not be playing the game

very insightful for a gold and below audience. Keep it up.

I completely agree with LoL being a mental game. What I felt was lacking from the video is the matchmaking tip i hear noone talking about. Basically, if you're toxic you get toxic teammates. I encourage muting the chat for a week to see a difference.

Hi buddy, you just appeared on my frontpage and I thought I should leave a comment! First you must know that I have severe anxiety- which means I dont play ranked on my "main" account out of fear that I could drop or get hardstuck. So I buy fresh level 30 accounts and play ranked on them. I recently hit emerald on one of those accounts on EUW and I am super excited, it made me happy af. so I was like, I should try to play my main as well, and i quickly noticed a few heavy things (account is gold 4) first of all, I tilted a lot faster and lost concentration- bad mistake, dont do that. I threw my first fizz games because of that. secondly, Like you said, some people just go mental so much faster, and staying calm and farming became a lot harder when the chat was exploding, or people purposely ran it down etc. I couldn't agree more with your statements, I personally believe that as a "decent player" it *can* be "harder" to climb in low elo than in plat or emerald due to the mental stress, though the truth is, low elo is pisslow and that for a reason. my advice for everyone reading this as someone who is stuck in elo hell on my main, even though i hit emerald on a "smurf" Do not tilt. Focus on your farm. Just do your own thing if the team is trolling. Just because your team takes every fight and dies, doesnt mean you should. stay back, scale and use your advantage. and most importantly, try -everything- not to do. Canon minion but you get zoned? Leave it. Fight that looks bad? Leave it. Just stay out, play for your advantage and once a good chance comes up, take it. and a little notice: Tilting isnt worth it, focus and build against your enemies. Laning against a zed? Won the first fight? Maybe dont buy the AP item, buy a cloth mail. thats 18% less damage you take. Anyways, GL have fun everyone.

Hey great video! As a low elo player myself trying to climb and make a series on my channel I really enjoyed listening to your reasoning and input. My series is based on implementing advice from high elo coaches, but I really liked your take on having a good mindset. I think it’s really underrated and allows you to play more consistently as you said. Congratulations on your climb and good luck on your channel!

This video is relevant to 90% of the people who watch league videos. The majority of people who watch league are not in masters+ elo.

I totally agree. I started with the misconception of having the best mechanics and make plays. I ended up stuck in silver iv because of that. Then in season 5 I understood that I need to have fun with the game first so I ended the season gold iv for the first time while playing a champ I liked without typing and it not typing made me a better player because I was understanding the game and having fun doing so. Then the gold slump came where I didn’t move for for 1-2 seasons. Then I discovered 2 things as a mid laner. You need to learn to side lane to get your xp as fast as possible and also tried Cassio which is my favourite champ till this day. I tried her in every matchup every setting so I could learn to manage different situations and matchups. That’s when I climbed to plat iv( I think at that time it was plat v if I am not mistaken). Now I have quit league because I am not really enjoying it as much anymore (with an exception when urf comes around and now that arena came out which I found really fun)

It took me 36 wins to get from S2 to G4, ik i'm not the best or good but oh god some of the players and plays of them were just unbelievable, sometimes i almost lost my mind but yesterday i cleared my mind and just went for it, got 7 winstreak and hit G4 and the happiness was there

"There should be a Dirt tier where they put all the REALLY dumb players!" -My Iron friend

I’ve played this in 2013 and didnt go higher than silver 5 back when iron didn’t exist. I stopped playing about 4 years ago and now I picked it back up. That drug reference really hit home 😂

great video man!

Great video, thank you for this

you arent wrong I played rocket league semi professionally and when i was grinding to get better i had 0 ego i was trying to learn and get better, the outcome of the game didnt matter as much as what i can learn from it. if you are in a bad headspace then you will lose way more, mentality causes way more issues than people think

I find myself going through exactly everything you stated in this video

I was on a good win streak my first go round of solo queue - the next time around I was super nervous, made very silly mistakes and ended up losing lane. So I agree; keeping calm and cool is definitely part of playing well.

proper mindset is a super op thing to have, even stronger and more OP than all of the modern-200-year-champions

u gave me the crack addiction again my brother

I have one important tip to share, it's a real game changer for me, when auto attack , you should be looking at the enemy's feet area instead of looking at the whole body, doing so helped me spacing a lot better

I don’t understand how some people get so tilted. I could go 1/12 one game and just be like, “man that sucks.” And then queue up again

Tip for those what want to leave low elo, don't follow everything, unless it benefits you

Low elo is textbook Dunning Kruger effect

Just by looking at the clips I can say your gameplay is the one I would expect from a high platinum or low diamond player (emerald now maybe). I don't know for how long you have been playing but I guess not much and you're already better than most players. So good job and please don't quit because we need more people who take the game seriously and not troll and int every game. League is a very profound game, elo doesn't necessarily means everything, it's a consistency game and if you keep learning and playing at your best you will get better and the game becomes easier and funnier.

1:02 it's plays like these, whenever i position that close as a jhin... I instantly get punished.. ALWAYS.

I have 100 games in silver elo. Whenever anyone asks me, I just say I prefer to have fun and troll instead of balding.

Another thing I've found is that if you are in the wrong lane you will tilt more. I've been playing league since late season 3 and I mained adc, I got decent at it, hitting gold, then hitting plat, but my friends kept noticing me being tilted, yet after I started watching baus, I gave top lane a chance and stopped really caring about my kda and started focusing on wave management. Now I tilt way less, enjoy my small pool of champions and while It is true that you get brutally countered in top lane or get smashed by a 2.5M mastery OTP I kinda don't let it ruin my day as you mentioned in the video. One advice I'd give anyone for climbing is - definitely mute yourself if you get spammed, your toxic teammates won't become amazing shotcallers after you muted them, there is seriously nothing to lose. glhf

I am pretty sure I discovered why tilt happens: because you want to win too much. You tunnel vision on winning, not playing. So when something doesn't go your way you get angry, cuz you are not winning. Cure is to convince yourself that you like winning as much as losing. So play for fun, play to get better, play to tryhard, but don't play to win. Focus on (your) actions, not results.

Start of the video: Mental This stays the same for all elos, just gotta manage that mental. Silver to gold being easier That isn't about different elos being easier to climb in, it is about you getting the hang of how to learn. A lot of the time going bronze to silver you were figuring out how to learn but then once you get that ball rolling you just keep going. Eventually there will be another "stuck" phase but just keep making progress and learning through it. Split 1 was my first time ever reaching diamond after being stuck in plat for 4 seasons, just keep looking back on previous games and figure out how you can improve from there.

Teammates when I ping my lane opponent is missing: I sleep Teammates when I miss a random skillshot: real sh*t?

I hit gold today! :D Everything you said was on the nail. GL on your climb to plat!

Im a normals player who stepped into ranked for the first time in 2 years. The difference in behaviour is staggering. Out of the last 20 games around 15 got decided by which team tilted more in all chat or an afk. I I currently learn asol in mid, jhin on adc if filled, and I got heavily flamed in 7 of these 20 games for champ choice, rune choice, item choice, not helping someone when oom, for not going in 1v5 on a drake and steal it when all 4 mates are dead, or just to shift a play that was bad on someone else. Ive played a lot of multiplayer games, but not a single one was comparable to league soloqueue in how, like you said, completely on edge everyone is. Its like theres a fuse burning down constantly, and if you try to put it out, you dont know what you throw on it is water or gasoline

Awesome perspective

Interesting video :) subed

Genuinely the "on edge" thing I think is a combination of two things; frustrated people with low IQs (I'm being serious) and too many energy drinks. It's like people who have too much energy but aren't intelligent enough to realise their own mistakes, so they blame everyone else on a hairpin trigger

Good video. Now I just have to find someone who can explain how to overcome my constant experience of getting 1-2 games of normal players who play and win or lose have fun and all seem to be relatively evenly skilled/knowledgeable, only to have the next 4-10 be absolute shitshows with non-stop typing, inting, griefing, and afking. the works. And in every game I do either FANTASTIC (but usually still can't carry because I'm only dmg/anything and enemy team just piles onto me while my team watches and eats popcorn), or I go even/only a little ahead. Even all my metrics place me at mid gold, but for some reason I can't keep silver IV. I gain it only to hit a a huge series of troll games and fall right back to bronze 2. It's depressing.

Rell & Poppy Supp Bronze main here. I was stuck for 300 games in B4, and legit tilted at my ADC every single game for never ever following up engage, and then keeping the wave perma shoved at their tower afterward so I can’t do anything and making us die to ganks. Apparently Engage supports have like a 50% WR across the board in bronze and I think it’s because Bronze ADC’s legit have no idea how to work with them. I swapped to Zyra and focus’s exclusively on keeping waves shoved out during late game so we’d have pressure for objectives, and during laning phase, wait until the enemy whiffs an ability, then run at them and try hitting them with everything I’ve got, retreating the moment all my abilities have been pressed. Over 17 games I am now B2 and feel like I wasted the entirety of last split playing engage tanks

thank you!!!! this is big

The defensive armor item for AD btw is Death's Dance. Kinda the Zhonyas of AD, though obviously less impactful than the active.

Great video!

I'm an Irelia main and I have been silver for 70% of the time I've played league and I've been kind of at the same skill level with all my champs. But when I started playing ranked and I wasn't climbing, it's when I noticed I needed to start genuinely playing better and smarter unironically and stick to one champ. (600k on Irelia at this point and and about 20 - 35 games later) I went from S1/G4 peak to now being Gold 1 omw to Plat 4. Ranked pushes you to perform better and really understand the game , your champ, matchups , situations, itemizing etc etc. All stuff you need to take into consideration every second. Positioning, vision , map pressure . At some point I just started playing and doing better consistently. And like you said there are some games you can't win which is perfectly fine it is what it is, trying to fight a force I can't controll even if I try to 1v5, is literally apart of the game and coming to terms with that is the best way to stay tilt proof in such a messy Elo.

Anyone gonna mention the new split distributions this split. People in gold 4 were majority silver 2 last split. So his journey from silver last split to gold last split was essentially like climbing from silver 4- silver 2 or 1. Maybe thats why it feels easier is because this split every rank below diamond got a bump up due to the distribution changes.

Tbh, I found climbing from silver to gold easier than from iron to silver. In iron and bronze, almost all games are extremely one-sided. Feels like it doesnt exactly matter what you do in most games down there. Down there, one game, you get a fiora toplane that uses Riposte to poke and thus, repeatedly dies. The next game, you get someone that wards well, freezes waves, knows how to back well and doesnt die for free all the time. Feels like a smurf lottery down there.

Great video man, keep it up. Unfortunate u are a small creator and not that many people will get to see this video. btw you could try to put some music in the background and your clips are also quite nice!

The biggest part for me is that i really have to start improving my mental. Its so easy for me to get really tilted and even if i try different methods to calm down it really feels impossible in the heat of the moment. I think i could go from bronze to at least like silver 2 or 1 if i could control my mental

I was plat 2 around 4 seasons ago, now tried to play placements with my mate and got bronze 3. In 2 days i'm already silver 1 and i'm gonna say that almost everything said her is correct. But want to give a few advices: 1. Get champ you are comfortable with and Learn matchups (specially mid/top). Even if its a bad one on this elo you can easily outplay your opponent 2. Most of the games are winnable, i won against 35-11 smurf on Twitch jg (with yuumi on him). 3. Dont be afraid to call the shots if you are adc/hyper-carry/got fed. Tell your team what you can/cant do, what to target. Ping your movement. Its easier to win if you work as a team. Even 0-10 malph can win if he ults enemy 35-10 hard-carry while akali 16-3 akali tries to kill him. If you are fed midlaner/jg who ganked they probably will listen. If they they dont understand that team work is a key, dont worry it happens. 4. Mental has a huge impact in this elo. Stay positive, if you see that your teammates are on the edge reassure them. Dont flame, be calm, everyone has bad days. Tilting the enemy is a good, but dirty and risky strategy. 5. If you feel tired or tilted take a break. Dont force yourself to "clib faster" or "get your lp back", you will just play worse. Rest and return when you ready

I've just climbed from s3 to g3 within a week, I switched to play support since it felt that every time I played adc I would get match with either a passive support or a new player that didn't understand core concepts of the game. Somethign that I noticed as of my last games is that people in silver were always on edge like you mentioned (I was the same until I started playing chill champs), literally, you miss a cannon, insta ping, you missed a hook, insta ping. After getting to gold, you get pings sometimes but people play more chill and have a clear understanding of their champs (no first-timers).

Since you asked, a good Armor Item on Kai'Sa would be Zhonya's Hourglass, since she has such good AP ratios. And on Jhin, some games you can get away with buying Plated Steelcaps for boots. Otherwise you are correct, there aren't a lot of good armor options for Marksmen currently. However, all of this will change in preseason anyway.

Congrats man! Not sure if you're aware, but they recently reworked the ranking system. So Gold is closer to the old Silver, Plat closer to old Gold, etc. Not to take away from your achievement, but all of the content previously mentioning "climbing out of silver or gold" has essentially changed to "climbing out of gold and plat". Most of the improvements you made, mental and item optimization will definitely get you out of the "old" bronze/silver elo. Keep us updated on how your climb is going. I would anticipate that reaching platinum will be more challenging than the climb from silver to gold.

I subbed for the league content! I would love to give my take on this as a plat player

i play league for about 4 years i think im too close to diamond one time i hit it in the past i can say that no matter what happens in the game if you follow a good game macro and make less mistakes and only choose good fights u can win almost any game (except the 100% lose games) try to say to yourself that if someone has climbed then i can too , and if you see someone in enemy team higher rank than you dont get scared in fact say to yourself i will beat him and i will be better than him , last tip if you are really scared of enemy ranks dont try to search in sites the enemy team ranks mains winrates and all that because it might stress you. I hope i helped with this comment have a nice day and good luck with your grind Jross.

Its the mental game which get me out of bronze. I started to listen music to call me down and didn't play League until I was completely down to earth. Automatically my call mind started to take place in-game I started to take player faults more lightly and motivated my team and give good input in how we can comeback without forcing it. I comically started to think I play with 10 year old which need Motivations and orders to win the game like a father figure. The moment I write this I can imagine how weird this must to read this but can somebody understand?

I’ve recently got to Gold 3, and i was Silver 2 62 lp in my first season split, and I’ve learned a lot from youtuber like you and others… I’m Yone/Yasuo OTP but I know to play AP champions because they suits me very well (like Ahri, Veigar, Vex, Brand), I’m mainly playing for myself because i will get the tower with Herald pretty fast, and after the plating are off, I will roam because I have bigger advantage than others. My tip is, when you lose a game, and you’re tilted asf, just calm down a bit, watch a youtube video, have a positive mindset, because one day you may lose 3/4 games, but the next day you may regain that LP you lost…Idk this is how I play, I often have a dogshit teammates but when I have good teammates, it’s easier to win games (I mean it’s a obvious thing but i need to say it), often Bot are the most delusional players (supports mainly), but you (as a Mid Laner) can win 2v1 against them and get a pretty big shutdowns…If y’all have any tips for me or others, pls leave a comment!!😊😊
