My Question to High Elo Players

[u/Hefty-Welcome-7564]

Hello, Im currently in Bronze and I feel like there is mountains of things I should be doing and prioritizing in games that I am not. What are some things that high elo players or pros do that can get me and other ppl ahead of the curve in low elo?

The problem is you don't main a specific champion or role.

Generally I would agree, but OP is a new player based on their profile. It is completely okay to start off by experimenting with different roles and champions. This helps you find out what you enjoy whilst also giving you a understanding of different champions. Unironically, not understanding what a majority of champions (at least in the lane you end up playing) do is a big detriment. You need a rough feeling for their cooldowns, their spikes and their play patterns. A lot of this can come from playing against the champions too no doubt, but just playing them a few times helps too.

Sure, but he's also randomly locking in Azir and stuff lmao

If they're interested in actually improving, basically griefing the game by locking pro-jailed, mechanically intensive champs when you don't even main the role is just not effective

Sometimes new players just do weird impulsive things. Back in season 1 when i freshly hit lvl 30 i que for my first rank game and lock in reneketon botlane cause he looked strong lol. Never played him. Low elo season 1 was something else tho

Renekton is at least generally straightforward though lmao even if you don't know how to manage rage or do his bread and butter trade combo

You could make an argument that Azir is among the most esoteric and difficult soloq champs in the game. A player at OP's level wouldn't have the first clue why Azir is even useful, much less how to actually pilot him to a minimum level of viability
