So, I know that this is a question that comes up a lot and all, how do some people climb in ELO so fast? I cannot seem to do well whenever I play a ranked game, I am either average, or get beat REALLY hard. I try to focus on csing, buying wards and placing them, not chasing, etc, but in the end, I always seem to do poorly in my ranked games. I have 6 wins out of 27 games (ranked) and cannot figure out what I a doing wrong.

Advice?

I didn't start climbing until I played a carry position like mid and only played champions that carry really hard when fed. You basically have to win lane hard enough every game that your are fed almost every game. Then once laning phase is over you need to make sure you group as 5. If you don't do that especially in low elo, then your team or yourself is likely to get caught out and die. As 5 push objectives like dragon or mid. Objectives are the key to winning so if you win a 5v5 teamfight and their tank is left running away then not everyone should chase him and instead use the time to push a tower or baron. Your team won't know this so it is up to you to make sure this information is relayed to them and that they follow it. You won't win every game but you will win more than you lose playing this game.

CS CS CS CS

I'm an ADC main, but I've started playing bruiser lanes (top or jungle) and found myself able to take out enemies or peel for my teammates. Basically trying to cover my team's weaknesses has given me a 66% winrate recently.

Also, out CSing the enemy throughout the entire match helps quite a bit. I've carried games as Caitlyn being 0/4 but with 300 CS by 35 minutes.

Also, never waste any time. If you're not in lane, you should either be farming jungle, at shop, or roaming effectively. Not hesitating in between two lanes.

Idk, it's helped me.

Telling your team what to do can be helpful. If nobody is communicating, get them to focus on securing objectives or picking off enemies. Try to master enough champions in each role to be able to choose someone that fits in with your team's composition in champion select (teammate picked Ori? maybe Malphite would be good). Watch streamers play and take mental notes. Learn when and when not to splitpush.

Re: The League of Legends Thread
 

So, anyone have any thoughts on the LCS?
My main thought: In S3, Bjergsen was my favorite EU midlaner, TSM my favorite team. I am now ecstatic about the success they have had. RIP Regi, but hey, he is obviously doing a fantastic job coaching.

Secondary:
Where the heck did Roccat come from? These guy really know their stuff.

First off, my IGN is Ayukura. I'm currently Platinum and I started playing the end of season 2. Feel free to add me!

People can climb ELO "fast" because they are generally better than the people they are matched up with/against and can carry their team. But, that doesn't necessarily mean to just get tons of kills and farm. When you play ranked for an extended period of time, you must be consistent. Ranked often puts players on tilt, and if you find that you're playing more emotionally rather than logically, I would take a break. You should always approach ranked with a clear mind; it is never good to play right after a loss and see the enemy team get first blood. Mindset has a lot to do with your gameplay. By keeping a positive attitude to the game, you can also keep a positive attitude toward your teammates. Let's face it: your teammates have a partial role in whether or not you win the game. They are humans, and they are also susceptible to tilt. I have won games simply by trying to keep everyone level-headed--for instance, when the enemy team's Ashe was legendary and our grouping didn't work because our LeBlanc quit, I suggested our AD Nidalee to split push. Suprisingly, they ignored Nidalee, and while they were at our inner turret, Nid was getting inhibitor. We won that game. So, before even worrying about your cs or warding, I would suggest worrying about your teammates and how you feel about the game. Gbay99 further speaks of the problems with mindset and League. Here's one of his great videos!
I looked at your lolking page in regards to your performance in Season 3. Your main problem would be that you die too much! 1/11 on Kat and Ashe isn't very good. Being dead affects your whole game: You miss out on cs, you miss out on a dragon, you miss out on a teamfight, etc. Handing the enemy team 300 gold isn't very helpful either. In lane, it is especially important you do not die. Shurelia actually gives out a good Zoning Tutorial that may help you. I believe your second problem would be that you don't focus enough on farming! Even if you and your lane opponent are 0/0, having more cs will give you an advantage. Roughly 13 cs is equal to a kill. Perhaps that puts into perspective how vital it is to farm. Averaging 31cs on Eve isn't very good however: in lanes, you should focus on having the bare minimum of 50cs at 10 minutes. It's better if you get ~70cs. As you overcome these problems, I can almost guarantee you'll see yourself climbing the ladders.
