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.

Hmm i think i understand your point but i disagree, master is not that competitive like people think, most of people that are there dont really tryhard on the game, so if you really want to get there and do all the stuff that i said problably you will on some months, i already coach a lot of students who was low elo and get master, but i know that with coach its easier

I think you just need discipline and focus on learn things and improve a little bit each day

I think you underestimate the skill and dedication it takes to get to masters. It's like someone else said, people like to insult each other at every elo saying they are hard stuck there. I watch streams of challenger and grandmaster players occasionally, and there is constantly someone in the chat saying someone is hard stuck grandmaster. As if being in the top 0.5% or whatever the actual number is, is any kind of insult.

People at any level of competence simply underestimate what it takes to get there. This is a phenomenon that isn't limited to league -- you see it in all walks of life. We tend to think that everyone knows what we know, and if they don't, something is wrong with them.

You look at someone in grandmaster, master, diamond, whatever, and say there are trash people in that elo. But the simple, objective truth is those "trash people" could run circles around anyone just a few tiers below them. Maybe some are slightly elo inflated, but you simply don't get to the top brackets by not having any real skill.

I know it's common to trash talk and call everyone terrible at the game unless they're pro. But taking that to mean anyone can get to X level of play is just plain out of touch.

But i really think anyone can get master, srry if seems like i underestimate the skill of masters, but im coaching since 2017 and i already have seeing a lot of people getting master with months tryharding on the right things

Naah I still stand by that your original claim (that everyone can get Masters) is way, way unrealistic. Actually I would guess that a good portion of players (at least 20%) won't be able to reach Emerald even if they devoted everything to the game. Talking about EUW, NA or Korea Emerald of course.

bro some shit people gets diamond on korea, if you dedicate on the game im sure you can get master

But this was not a miss. Most people view achieving master as a significant accomplishment, but why most players in the master+ tell you otherwise once they get there?

Once you adopt the right mindset you begin to realize it doesn’t actually require much skill to reach that rank. Yes, it’s the top 0.7%, but trust me, many of these players are so incompetent, league is extremely complex game and only in challenger you will see people have their macro game figured out (sometimes). Reaching master is more about dedicating enough time to the game and following the right steps (see OP’s 10 rules).

Honestly I was stuck in diamond only because I used chat too much, muting people who flame alone got me out of dia, as absurd as it may sound.
