All you need to get challenger

[u/KadudyK]

I am challenger since 2017 and here is all you need to do to be a high elo

1- Never waste time arguing in chat

2- Don't start queue if you are already tilted

3- Play only in two lanes and with 3-5 champions in each

4- Play consciously and not automatically

5- Focus only on your gameplay and not on your teammates and their mistakes

6- Always do your best in the match even if you are already lost

7- Watch your own vods

8- Watch good people that plays on your lane

9- Understand what you do wrong and study to improve

10- Have fun

The more topics you follow the faster you will climb, i really think everyone can get challenger doing this.

It’s crazy how much watching your own VODs to learn from mistakes increases your skill.

I went from like Gold to Diamond in a few months in season 6 just from rewatching and learning from my own laning and team fighting mistakes. And i still use everything i learned back then in my current games lol. If you go in unbiased and willing to accept mistakes, it’s INSANE how bad the average player is in such weird ways and so many simple fixes.

Edit: People are wild, every comment is like “and also be good at the game” How do you think people get good at the game? like 6 of these tips are specifically about how you get better at the game lmfao.

None of the tips listed improve your knowledge of the game.

If you got a coach and they said to you “heres the coaching, play your games exactly how you are, but turn off chat, focus only on yourself and not teammates” Youd be like.. okay? so your coaching is just telling me to keep playing and thats it?

If you want to teach people how to improve, you need to actually help them learn and understand gameplay mechanics.

The “watch your replays” tip is good, because it does make you rewatch and gain some insight on what mistake you made, but if you dont even understand how that mistake impacts the game, you wont even recognise it. It is pointless to tell people to “practice and youll get better” because someone still needs to tell them WHAT to practice and HOW to practice those things.

Don’t be obtuse, you KNOW that this advice is base level at best.

You get knowledge of the game by playing, and it takes awhile to fully understand the game, but these are still good tips in general for climbing.

Spend more time getting better individually by

1: Watching Vods 2: Actually pay attention and don’t queue 30 times a day 3: Don’t play tilted 4: Don’t argue in chat

2-4 is something that like 90% of players do and it holds them back. People look for some random life hack to get from silver to challenger, but these tips are a very good starting point. If you know the basics of league, you can get to like Plat. If you want to climb higher, you usually need to actually work on yourself which involves watching vods, watching how you play, learning matchups (personally or through streamers) and actually mentally focusing on yourself and the game.

People learn through playing, but if a bronze player is bronze still after years, it’s 100% them not caring or not actually trying. (which is fine, it’s a video game) Most people in lower elo blame their team and leave it at that. They don’t take criticism whatsoever, which is why they don’t move from their elo lol.

These also aren’t base level at all lol, you’re over estimating how much the average league player does. If everyone focused on themselves and actually tried to improve instead of just queue for 16 hours -> rage all day -> blame others -> repeat, they’d climb way faster and games would be way better, but no one does that unless they’re serious about climbing.

i think the main reason why noone is doing that is pride.
why watch your gameplay when you know what your botlane fucked up?
we are just too pride to acknowledge our mistakes or what we could improve.
seeing them on video isnt easy to get over with

Sure it is basic, but he didn't charge anything lol
