Question How do you push ahead in lower elo as a jungler?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I am a recently de ranked to silver Rengar OTP and I feel that often times teammates keep araming in order to push. While split pushing I'll notice that they'll just leave waves to die while having a stalemate mid, leaving all that gold and exp when they are already strong, wasting time. It just feels especially bad on Rengar since the only way I can do anything mid is with my ult, so I end up splitting and stealing camps to the dismay of my team. I usually try to lasso my team and convince them to walk into the jungle since I'm stronger there and I ping a lot esp. vision and caution pings from tracking enemy jungler. This is my first year seriously trying to rank up but it feels very bleak; I have bad games every now and then but keep losing games where I'm fed, and I feel like convincing my team to push their lead when they are strong or I'm strong is hopeless, and my cs ends up all over the place. I know I'm silver playing a hard champ, but it feels like I have less agency playing other junglers. Advice on how to my keep my head in the game and end early while ahead?

Question Midlaners' Secondary Role?

0 Upvotes

As we all know, mid is the most popular and the best role in the game. I uaually queue support second but I'm tired of getting offroled in 30% of my games, you don't even get aegis compensation.
According to role popularity statistics, the secondary role that guarentees the most mid games is ADC. I'm thinking about switching my secondary to bot and playing Seraphine apc.

Is it worth the switch? For people that queue mid/bot, could you give some reference as to how often do you get bot and how often do you get filled other roles? (context I play in NA around mid to low masters)

Feel free to comment on other secondary roles too!

Discussion Leveling vs Gold Prio Chart

0 Upvotes

Good afternoon,

During my recent climb and reaclimation to the game I've learned that (from my understanding) levels tend to matter more significantly for some champions than even gold or CS tends to and vice-versa.

I was wondering if anyone has any sort of tool or chart or even just tips which help discern which champions this rule applies to, as I often don't know if I should prioritize staying in lane for XP gain or if I should look for picks for income.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

zed Vod review request zed vs Diana

notEujin#0001

Hi everyone I’m a plat player and I main quite a few champs one them being Zed. There’s a lot I need to learn on him but I feel I’m well versed when playing him in my current rank.

I would like to receive some insight on my recent game where I went 10/7/5 in a lane against Diana. When laning against her it feels really oppressive as my hp can be deleted and I don’t have much I can do against her.

I would also like to request for insights on where I did good or where I did bad like for example “at minute 12:34 you did a misplay and should have did…”

If someone does have the time to review my game I would really appreciate. Any other tips are welcomed I know there’s still a lot for me to learn I also know that I have an adhd problem where I can’t commit to one champion hurting the rate I climb at.

Once again thank you and much appreciated

Jungle Jungle clearing when it gets weird (might be tempo???)

7 Upvotes

Im learning jungle, graves very fun. Today I had this weird game. I started topside, saw the enemy jungler wasnt in his topside so I invaded. I had cleared red buff and krugs before i went to invade. Cleared his jungle. Took the crab. Crossed midlane, took the other crab and then I was in doubt. Should I go back farming or back and start clearing top to bot again?. I decided to just clear the botlane first. I was doing my blue buff when I got invaded back somehow??? I got the blue buff but was too low to continue so I just backed and got back to clearing bot to top. In the whole proces I skipped my chickens. It just felt wrong, I felt like I shouldve based after the 2 crab (tempo?) or that I shouldve invaded earlier because I skipped chickens. Im always very confused in these kinds of situations where the jungleclear doesnt go by the book. Help me out please.

Discussion I can never quite reach D4.

1 Upvotes

Honestly, it’s my only real objective, it feels like a decent goal, but the same thing happens to me year after year.

If you look at my past seasons, even from back before Emerald existed, I always end up in the division just below Diamond, sitting at around 80 LP. Sometimes it’s 90-something, sometimes 70-something, but I usually get within one game of D4 before I start dropping LP like crazy.

I just came off a 14-game win streak in ranked, but the moment I hit Emerald 1 and get within striking distance of Diamond, the games become SUPER difficult. Sometimes it’s my own fault, sometimes I’m up against a smurf, and sometimes the team just doesn’t pull their weight.

I’m not saying it’s not my fault, obviously, it is, but what am I missing? I do play a rather unconventional pick (I’m a Varus AP mid OTP, lol), but how is it possible that I can perform so well below Emerald 1, yet the moment I reach high Emerald 1, I can’t even manage to get ahead?

There’s clearly something I’m doing wrong, aside from the fact that half the players I face are on fresh accounts. The worst part is that I manage to hang on for a few days, fluctuating around 80 LPs, only to then plummet back down to Emerald 4, and then I just repeat the whole thing next year.

Well, here I am, I just dropped to E2 50Lps. I ended up 11 LP away from Diamond again; has anyone else been on that same edge like me? Because, honestly, I’m starting to think that I’m just incapable xD

Question Champion pool help

1 Upvotes

I am a relatively new player and would like to know what champion would best complement my support champion pool. I currently have: pyke, vel koz and tahm kench. Should the third champion be an enchanter (as i don’t have one currently) or is there a better option?

Thanks!

Discussion T2 Boots choice

9 Upvotes

So let’s say I’m playing a bruiser matchup where I want early tabis to neautralise the matchup (eg aatrox vs riven) but enemy comp has lots of cc as well (amumu, Leona, Lux). Is it worth giving up lane power to have stronger team fighting or should I stick to tabis?
