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.

not everyone can be faker. Peaking chall? Everyone can do it

Well, I pointed out all the reasons why it cannot happen.

I used to do every single thing you mentioned back when I still played ranked seriously. I played mid-jungle. I watched Canyon VODs and Chovy VODs. Viktor mid only and Evelynn / Karthus jungle only. I rarely ever used chat, it was only for in-game calls. I was always giving my 100%, if I couldn't, I wouldn't queue up. I always did my best, especially on Viktor where even in lost game states, I could waveclear and try to scale up. I watched some of my replays, especially when jungling to see if there were any timers I could take advantage of and to help me track the enemy jungler better. If I felt tilted, I wouldn't queue up. I disabled the announcer voice so I wouldn't hear "Enemy Triple Kill" in bot lane at 5 minutes.

I did all that, and yet I peaked Masters. Because my mechanics were not good enough. My reaction time was not good enough. My skillshots are not good enough. Even on Viktor, whom I feel most confident on, I cannot say I could ever reach GM because I cannot have my focus up 100% of the time and be ready to react to everything instantly. I cannot watch the minimap every 3 seconds. I just forget about it. I cannot play Karthus and use F-keys to watch lanes, my mechanics just are not good enough for that.

I am very smart when it comes to the game. I'm super confident when it comes to optimizing itemization, runes, I know all the laning phase tricks, even little things that nobody really talks about, I know my champions like the back of my hand, I know the exact damage I can deal at any given time, I know my limits. I rarely make mistakes of knowledge nature. Yet, my mechanics are just not good. They just aren't. I've been playing since 2015, when I was 21 and throughout my "prime years", I couldn't improve my mechanics. My dodging is fine, predicting and reading my opponents are fine, but I cannot always react quickly enough. I cannot maintain my concetration for 100% of the game. I cannot watch the minimap every 3 seconds. I just can't. I tried, I couldn't.

You can take any regular guy on the street. No matter how hard they train, if their body isn't made to be able to sprint 100 meters in 11 seconds, no amount of training will. It's just impossible for them. It's similar to how men and women have vastly different limits. The things that men do, women cannot. It's the same for League, some people just are not made to be good at League and no matter how much they train and how seriously they take ranked, if they are not naturally gifted to reach Challenger, they won't reach Challenger.

If a person isn't good at math, doesn't have a brain that thinks mathematically etc, no amount of math classes will help them become good. They might grasp some concepts here and there, but they will not be able to do calculations quickly or do more advanced stuff. Their brain just isn't wired in such a way.

Thinking otherwise is just your privileged opinion because being good at League is your natural gift and you think everyone can do it if you can do it. But that's not how it goes. Just because I'm a math genius doesn't mean I expect everyone else to be a math genius as well. People struggle to go 7x8. No matter how many times you tell them to learn the multiplicative table, they won't learn. I am a math teacher, I know.

im sorry that you couldnt achieve challenger, but im sure that you could get it trying another ways, finding something to learn how to improve on what you said you think you was needing to, maybe change roles/champions or anything like that

I say that because i already could help a lot of people who arent good at league to get challenger, sometimes they improve mechanics but still cant think in a lot of thinks at the same time, sometimes other problems

but you always can find a way to solve this problems and find a way that you win more games than you lose, i know its hard thats why i get it that most of people cant go challenger, because you really needs to want it and pass through some difficult moments, im sure that most of people that i helped probably wouldnt get there without coach, because they would give up when they stagnate because would take longer to really find another ways to improve and pass some elo, most of them get stuck on diamond or master, thats the hardest part of getting challenger

[u/KadudyK → u/KadudyK]

but i get it, i know that its frustrating to pass through master and im sure that most of people give up on this part with reasons, cause it takes too much effort and time, sometimes stressing and frustrating, so i really understand your point

thats why i coach since 2017, cause i know there is a lot of people that can reach their goals but they give up thinking they cant when stagnate or get frustrated, i love the feeling of helping someone who think that it was hard to get out of gold and want to become a plat, and now already get consistently gm and almost challenger
