Whenever i smurf between Silver-Platinum, ive always noticed 2 things that happen in almost every game: 1. Theres always 1-2 players that imo dont belong on those elos because they have nice macro game understanding or are mechanically good, but what holds them down is their ego + their teammates bad decisions 2. The bad players are not only bad per se, their mental is reaaaaally bad, they waste like 10 seconds or more every 2-3 minutes typing, are always pointing someone else mistake and they are way too overconfident. In my opinion is really sad that riot havent developed a different way to calculate RP gain/lose, they should take in consideration personal performance rather than win-lose situations, i mean things like csing, objectives, KP, etc should reduce the amount of LP you lose or increase the LP gain in every game, that would make people motivated to play better every game rather than queing into a game hoping the coin flips on their favor

The way the ranked system resets (and puts everyone back like 2-3 ranks) adds to that too. When everyone ends the season higher up and then has to climb out of bronze again in provisionals, everyone has different expectations of their teammates and throwing is basically guaranteed. And then you miss every skillshot because the bronze opponent moves like a crazy person (literally can't tell if they're smurfing or iron--or probably I'm just bad). Every tier is like it's own circle of hell 😅

Having the "carry" mentality is such bullshit because it invalidates everyone else on your team. Its a team game. If you get a shitty team and you do everything in your power to win, and you lose - your team lost you the game.

I went on a 5 game losing streak followed by a 9 game win streak just now. Nothing about my play changed. It was entirely team comp/competency of teammates. If you’re a platinum level player, you’re hard stuck in gold at the whim of match making. You have to be 2-3 divisions better than where you are to stand a chance at climbing. I saw a guy in S3 clearly trying to boost an account. His record on the season was 50-8 and he was S3. The rank system is broken and designed to keep people below their skill level in order to get them to grind more. Since it’s a free game, the more you play, the more likely you buy cosmetics

Biggest issue is when my team has a lead,or we win lanes we dont take towers and push..its hard to communicate tell them to group and capitalize..most of them chase kills in jungle,and give enemy chance to farm up or pick up some kills,then ee lose..

“But we’re in platinum, aka low elo” Me who thinks gold is really high: “bruh wtf”

in the twitch case the team could have also tanked the turret and rushed it instead of just recalling late

for the 2nd example, while i agree that in low elo going for teemo is the correct play, was it not a bigger mistake for twitch to recall after baron in the first place? while getting GA on twitch is extremely valuable, considering that no one else on twitch's team recalls, it would be more advantageous to not give up any sort of map pressure, especiallly considering that elder buff has a short lifetime (they took elder then baron, so its even less time). had twitch stayed mid with his team, he wouldnt even have needed his GA since he could be helping his team fight a 4v5 with baron and elder and swept the fight anyways.

Yeah twitch should have kept up the tempo. High elo even to to save 5-10 seconds to keep the tempo going. Twitch not being at that teamfight lost him the game

I had a game in low silver where my team took the inhib tower and decided to back off. I pinged my tanky jg to take the inhib while I shadowed him since a 20 min inhib creates pressure. After that we took the second herald, and I stole it from my top laner since I knew if we dropped it where the inhib is down we would win. My top laner started to tilt, while the rest of my team joined the herald push mid and won the game. I kept asking my top laner if he was sure that he thought of the right play as we took the rest of their base and aced them. He just couldn't admit he was wrong even after the game was won in 3 mins after the herald take.... I'm pretty sure I was adc but I mightve been mid lol

I for sure would've done the same thing as that twitch, I have to much confidence in my own team when we're doing well

the problem is that most low elo players cant judge the dependence of circumstances making a play a situational good/bad play

I think this is a course from their site and it helped my out a ton. I always tried to play as I saw it on the best players from all regions, but this actually made my rank even worse. They actually say this, but you cannot state this enough - You MUST adapt to the weird things happening before Dia2 because this is not decent League. More often then not either the enemy does some weird shit which catches you off guard or your own team does the same thing. After I admited, that my current Elo does not even remotely fits the playstyle I was going for, it went much more smoothly.

This is so true specially on the baron throw part. As a top laner (sion) who's pressuring t3 tower. I make shotcall on my team to start baron and I'll tp when someone defends What happens is that they don't listen and after I die from a 4 man collapse they thought its a good idea to do baron while the adc is farming krugs. Which made me just more tilted Maybe I should've not relied too much on my team and taken a different approach by just preparing the bot wave to shove to their tower and joining my team. Which I can have more options to choose from (being able to help my team clear the objective when enemy pressure is low or make my own tp play to bot lane to secure bot inhib and maybe nexus towers)

Hands down the most directly impactful, if digested, video yall have ever released!

The number of afks or trolling in bronze is crazy. I have over 200 wins this season. 30% of those match legit have a guy going 1-15 or just afks

In the example with the teemo base race, how do you know the teemo wont flash towards twitch, use the blind, then kill him?

@6:00 Two great lessons here that haven't been touched on: #1 Prioritize farm over fishing expeditions (especially on scaling champs like most ADCs), yes, a pick in this map state is really good for Jinx's team, but her presence is neither required nor especially desirable given potential risks to make it happen. The farm mid is safe money and xp, which contributes to your excellent scaling (scaling is how well xp and gold increase your power level). In lower elos, don't assume your teammates will make the right choices, they frequently won't, be happy when they don't make terrible decisions that throw away your team's advantage(s) or compound the enemy's advantages. #2: Pushing lanes also makes it easier to advance the game towards victory. This is for a variety of reasons. The most important of which is having waves close to enemy towers makes it very easy to destroy them off of any won fight (even a minor victory will give enough time as the enemy regroups/backs to heal etc. for you to rush to a lane w/ minions near the enemy's tower and take said tower before then can regroup to defend it). Conversely, they have a long ways to push the lanes in order to start destroying any towers. The real insight here is that having waves pushed towards the enemies tower(s) makes the potential payoffs of a fight far more favorable for your team. This alters the risk v. reward calculus by increasing the rewards and lowering the risks of fighting the enemy. Experienced players usually have a pretty good sense of the likelihoods of winning/losing a fight, but they often ignore how weighted the payoffs of that fight might be. Proper risk v. reward assessment means computing the 'expectation' of the proposed course of action. This is the sum of the ((probability of outcome) times (payoff of this outcome) summed over possible outcomes. So if you can makes the rewards biased in your team's favor it can actually be worth taking a pretty major risk in terms of likelihood of success because you risk very little but potentially gain a *lot*. Conversely, when fighting in a situation where the rewards are limited and what is being risked is significant, extreme caution should be exercised and only the most sure of plays attempted.

7:30 I remember when once my team was preparing for an endgame teamfight. The previous fights had ended with both teams having 1 or 2 weakened members alive. There was a HUMONGOUS enemy wave top. I TOLD my team gathering mid that I would quickly clear that. I did that anticipating a potential scenario where two enemies end up alive after the fight and would then push two lanes thanks to this huge wave. In that small interval it took me to go top and clear the wave, the losers fought mid 4x5 and got decimated. Bear in mind that thanks to ME, we still had all out mid turrets. They could have easily stayed back for 10 seconds and lost the first mid turret instead of engaging/getting engaged. Then, of course, they blamed me for the loss.

Seems the only reason the Nashor with split pressure didn't work is because they started not with his pressure but only after he was engaged by enemies and about to die. I fail to believe this wouldn't have been a clean Baron 10 or even 5 seconds earlier. Not arguing with the general concept just won't give up my agency as a top laner I have with split pushing. Also, after I shout at my team once or twice for not using my pressure it usually starts working and we end up winning the game when they do get that Baron or Elder.

I hate how you talk about "low elo" and then show plat games..... Thats WAAAAY higher than actual "low elo" (iron - silver) and completely misses the point, a lot of the playerbase doesn't get anything out of this

Low elo is sikver and below

There's a reason people make thousands of alts. As soon your account gets 300+ games, it's literally doomed to stay in the same elo, and if you want to get out you need to net win 40-50 games. And even then, you get 13-14 LP while losing 15-16 LP, even if you're on a 40 games win streak. Source: I boost accounts with a shit ton of games

Very nice guide when does the "how can i deal with the 22/2/0 adc" part

Its alot easier to throw a game then it is to win. In low elo i feel half the battle is fighting the urge to throw the game.

I noticed this kind of split on my own adventures on the EUNE and RU server. On EUW there is a very nice gradient of skill across ranks but on EUNE and escpecially RU there seems to be gap in skill and overall game that just makes it more fun to play on my sub lvl30 account on RU rather than ranking up on EUW.

I feel like its true, for about 3 years i was stuck in low plat as sup only and every season most of my time was trying to get out of gold. In the current season im plat 2, and i think i may get to diamond, and i dont feel like i really improved that much, im simply playing less aggressive and with champions that dont rely that much on my teammates commitment (its really common to low elo adcs to just let you die 1v2 in lane while they afk farm, so playing champions as zilean, morgana, trundle, tk, makes myself feel free to play even with bad adc since (1) im not dependant on them to survive like lulu or yuumi and (2) i dont need to engage so if i need i can just suck the xp out of the lane rather than trying to fight/trade damage 1v2).

I have been watching these guides for about a month or two now and I have gotten significantly better but I just wanted to take the time to acknowledge how crucial map awareness is I mean I’m in low elo and watching my teammates get ganked after not only I pinged by the whole river is warded and they still just didn’t notice is incredible like I was that player once but god is it frustrating cuz for example I was pyke as a sup with an ash adc and we were gettin stomped she was 1/6 I was 3/4/2 at 15 minutes but the whole time I was tryna to tell her to play passive cuz nocturne clearly likes to get kills rather then farm his jgl and this bitch just refused to listen so she died to the same type of gank 3-4 times now sometimes I was lucky enough to get away but others I just had to take the L but after she was like 1/3 or 1/4 I again told her to play passive but she wouldn’t listen so I would grab cannon minion or whatever minion I could with my support item and then start playing on my side of the map close to my turret while she was pushed in to the enemy turret standing there autoing minions instead of last hitting like I said she should do and then surprise surprise nocturne came down with the enemy kai sa and nautilus and my ash died once again like what do I do in that situation I tried to give tips while we were playing and everything but she wouldn’t listen and the funniest part is that there is literally no excuse for her to die cuz u literally warded the whole bot side river when I went to try and get a kill with my mid laner so the info was there it’s just ash doesn’t know what a map is but usually my adc isn’t that bad but every once in awhile there’s a player like this ash that just is clueless

7:30 now i understand why people dont want to end games in my games, they saw this vod lmao, the problem comes when u go and defend and ur team still go to fight and lose lol.

I would argue with a bit more nuance into the difference between low and high elo. High elo comes with tremendous macro and micro understanding; you can rely on teammates to make the right choice. In low elo, you cannot guarantee, and thus shouldn't assume your teammates will make smart choices. The difference here is that in the cases when you see "proper" behavior from teammates in low elo, you need to be able to recognize that behavior, and capitalize on it. From a macro standpoint (in low elo), you should make the safe play, but be prepared to IMMEDIATELY make the right play if you see the conditions on the map. Discretion and nuance go a long way in crushing your opponents, especially in lower elo. A correctly played map is beautifully suffocating, and you should not pass up the opportunities to practice that level of domination. That being said, great video. You bring up the crucial point that rules, strategy, and norms are only as useful as they are commonly understood. Make the play that pushes the advantage, and that won't always be the textbook play.

I peaked platinum 1(not high elo I know) and I couldn't carry in normal draft games. I used to get very mad, because I was trying hard but everyone else seemed so braindead I couldn't do anything. Now this video has opened my eyes. Screw the team, play safe and play selfish.

I say it every time too. I play for myself I do extremely well. Then I'll start slipping and try to rotate to my jungler dying to 2 people and it always ends with me dead, losing 2 waves, and now im behind mid for the next 12 minutes...

One of the hardest lessons for me to learn was that no matter how important sidelane pressure and catching sidewaves is, you'll always lose in low ELO if you don't hover your team 24/7 (and mid will never move their ass to a sidelane in midgame)

I'm still dogshit at playing clownfiestas don't get me wrong, but honestly i won a lot of games that i would have lost just because of that answer alone.

Especially when the video was so wrong. "Twitch should've killed Teemo after recalling from Baron instead of 5v4'ing them in their base with soul + elder + baron" LMFAO yeah what a CHALLENGER player that Twitch is. And that sick Caitlyn who expected her Jungler to hold 1v2 against Quinn+Yuumi incoming from Botlane all the while lacks the map awareness to see Ornn had to recall. Yep, totally ORNN'S fault for tunnelvisioning.

The problem with League of Legends is, it IS not fun to HAVE to hard carry and play AS HARD as possible EVERY single game. League of Legends as a competitive game doesn't work it's fundamentally flawed by this. I should NOT have to put my team on my back essentially giving THEM a free win, JUST so I can climb the ladder. I SHOULD be able to sit back play good enough and come together in a 5v5 setting as a TEAM. Yes, there's games where somebody else carries or your team DOES work together BUT, this is far and few in between the norm of UNLESS YOU carry, you will float around the same rank until you do decide to play so hard it becomes redundant and unfun. People will say "You are stuck because you aren't good enough!" When what they really mean is, YOU aren't putting your entire team on your back in what is supposed to be a 5v5 game NOT a 1v5 game.

Preach brother🎉🎉🎉🎉

I play toplane, there is a ratio to show what happens if I lose a game: 1 (I get stomped) to 1 (I fall off late game and loose impact) to 1 (our sup is a bot) to 3 (botlane feeds, ints or rage quits). It's very frustrating.

I am happy to finally see more videos like this. There are tons of delusional people that have nothing better to say than just 'win more games'. The truth is if you are a support you are doomed if your team just wanders pointlessly around without taking objectives. Then you see some Masters and Grandmasters trying to prove it's all low elo player's fault and then they only win 5/10 placements on new account. This game is in a desperate need of a new and fair system.

Wow, I needed this! I've been using Gold+ strats in Bronze and making really good support plays with no follow up. So I have about a 50% WR and awful MMR. I lose 17 LP and gain 10 LP on wins. So basically play worse to win low elo is seeming really weird, but probably effective. Make fewer plays, don't expect rotations, etc.

2nd scenario is by FAR the most common thing I see. People don’t know how or when to end or defend

lmfao that jinx sitting in meele range and not only that he kited himself into meele range instead of back funniest shit ever

I've learned a lot from Skill Capped, but one of the things that I've learned recently is that their advice is contextual. You have to understand the game state. The first statement you make is true. Often, people in low elo make bad mistakes and don't put themselves in a position to carry the game. But the second statement can also be true, where you put yourself in a position to carry the game, but you make the wrong call because you assume that your team is going to make the correct play. You need to incorporate all of the information skill capped is giving you into a more complete understanding of the game.

Plat being low elo ☠️

that caitlyn situation hits close to home. but i have to do that play. because my god damn team are alregic to towers.

9:10 important to know if you want to climb, starting baron like that, sets you up in a voulnerable position because baron also reduces resistances so preferably you want to be ahead in lvls or both team contesting baron at the same time to make it a more fair fight. Ideally someone ahead holds back enemy team

Wait people trust their teammates to be good? I'm a diamond adc and I still don't trust my teammates 😂

Standard Top Laner situation: Can't see a single enemy on the map and doesn't have one ward out, pushed all the way up to their tier 2 tower, dies to a 5 man gank, yells at the team for not doing anything while they pushed.

you guys got it all wrong. low elo players dont win and blame everyone else for their mistakes because they'd rather argue with their team than just play and gain elo/ gain more knowledge about the game

Yeah dude - it's actually impossible to climb through bronze/silver/gold. I won 2 games with decent teammates (i.e. just 1 feeder), and then lost 6 in a row when I got 2-4 players feeding all game SIX MATCHES IN A ROW. Then when you get angry about it, riot bans you. They gaslight you into thinking you're a bad person if you get annoyed at people going 2/13 in a ranked silver match. It's honestly disgusting. I'm a support main with a 51% winrate overall in all my support champion pool, and literally lose ELO over and over. I can win two matches in a row and gain ~50LP, and then lose 2 games from feeders right after and lose ~60 LP. The ranked system is BROKEN and your individual skill doesn't matter because it is nearly impossible to 1v5 when your teammates literally aren't capable of clearing a wave without dying 10 times. It's fucking disgusting. Fuck this broken game.

Great example with the hungry hippos😂

problem is league has too many catch up mechanisms and even if you stomp your lane a simple shutdown gold can easily let the enemy team take over solution is simple, get rid of all catch up in ranked (jungle catch up xp, objective catch up, shutdown gold) keep them in normal (so people who are casual are not screwed) I really don't like playing perfect laning and getting weaker every single second just because my teammates are apes

Horrible mentality. This just means that you have to actually keep playing well, you can't just play well in lane and then turn your brain off. You are punished severely for being bad at the macro game in the mid- to lategame by offering huge shutdowns, so playing safe and anticipating dangerous situations become more important.

honestly i was super hard stuck in the lower ranks as a sup main but once i hit diamond i was gaining +38 per win and getting lobbies with masters solo queue... its just a diff game

Literally had 4 games in a row where I had a toxic player in pregame lobby leading to a afk/leaver or Inter. Meanwhile the only time I talk is to say stuff like “good gank” “well played”. Extremely frustrating.

lol i seen what you done there showed a rell clip when you were saying relevent that baron call wasnt really that bad, ashe came out with 2-3 kills worth of gold nasus probably still has tp if you do the exact samething now nasus has tp advantage for next baron fight while orn doesnt so nasus can do exactly thr samething but the enemy team cant they dont have tp advantage in the fight the moment nasus gets pressure he walks back words and can either tp ult to baron the moment two or three show bot or keep pressuring for ornn ult ashe this time has the extra gold for the baron fight as well

If that jinx would’ve kited up towards belveth, she probably kills all of them there

There's a great tip I learned where you set a timer in the background that beeps every 5 seconds, and try to check map each beep. Also map overlays with jungle/inhib respawn timers are like free and legal hacks, so use them. These two tips take zero skill to implement and you will play better (no money back guarantee for this free info, but do it anyway)

To me it happens a lot that i win a few games in a row and then in few games i get troll picks like lb top with grasp and full tank build that does absolutely nothing or just so unplayable games that i have good score and value while my team has so bad scores and its nearly impossible to win and yes, in diamond 😂

just had a renekton jungle that took tp and barrier how do i play that one out?

The thing that gets me is the constant need for these players to invade with leads when obj are up. Or when supports like bards for some reason stay with adc alll game

That is definitely not the problem. I have reached diamond many times and with many accounts, sometimes with up to 30 consecutive games won. Most games are lost in the first 10 minutes and there is no way to win. Sometimes I have chained multiple games with a 0/40 team. In these cases, the only way to rank up the account is to duo with another diamond. In the case of someone who is really silver, earning 10lp, how is he supposed to rank up? Because it also doesn't improve when playing with mediocre players every game. My advice is to have multiple accounts, to try to get progress without getting stuck in an elo. Example: I've had a good run with this account, so I'm still with this account.
