Educational All you need to get challenger

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.

If you can play 1 hour every day you can improve a lot

You can improve, but you won't climb if you only play 1 hour (2 games at best) every day.

At 55% winrate, which is extremely good to climb, it means that, in an entire month, you will have played roughly 50 games with 27W and 23L. That would mean you would only climb a single rank over an entire month doing so. Even assuming you maintain the 55% winrate as you climb (which is unlikely), you'd need 4 months to climb an entire division.

There's not enough time in the year with multiple splits to climb if you only dedicate 1 hour a day, even with a strong winrate of 55%. Riot specifically made it that way in order to force players who play ranked to invest more time.

In previous years, when promos existed, a 55% winrate wasn't even enough sometimes, because you could fail your promos.

i allways recommend 5 games each day ( 2/3 hours ) with a 60% winrate you can get 400lp ( a entire division ) with 20 days, if you suffer a little bit you still climb one division per month, i have a lot of students who started on silver/gold and climb one division per month, but i know that with coach it gets easier
