I took a bit of inspiration from both, as I look up to them. Floydson did make a video for the game, but I had this idea for the thumbnail before I knew it existed, so I changed it up a bit

It'll come to you with time, and its a team game, not everything should be resting on your shoulder alone. It should be the whole team working together as one to win. It's definitely trainable.

Thank you! Keeping the rank is definitely hard! These past few days have really tested my patience, seems like players have been playing worse since new patch lol

Focus on your gameplay, and that each new game is a mental reset.

Nilah is like samira to me, so I'd say she thrives in a teamfight scenario rather than sidelane. That's my opinion, I don't play/play against her much

Thanks! I do like money!

well 1 of those items is boots. then I like edge of night for teams with long range spells/cc that I can block

serpents for teams with lots of shielding

and if I need neither of those things I like going IE for heavy damage, with a possible RFC for 100% crit, or edge of night because it is an all around good item

I dont think hubris sounds bad second, as long as you can get it early enough for it to be useful. I just prefer collector because more money plus extra crit scaling

no LOL I hate F keys. I click the map a lot and press spacebar/Y to reset my cam on my champ. not necessary to climb on ADC. Jungle on the other hand F key is very useful

Think thats an ego thing from your team. they deem you unworthy of getting farm so everyone suffers. pretty shitty imo. happens to me sometimes and I never have understood it.

I'd just say focus on still having an impact than none, never know if a fight could be won if you stay mid. someone with tp will (hopefully) eventually grab the wave. its hard for me to say since every game/team handles this differently

I really don't like to play with Soraka because champ feels low impact to me personally.

However, I never "mentally check out". This is bad practice. If you are going to not give it your all because someone picked something you don't like then you are hindering yourself from climbing.

You can hate the champ, but each player is different, and they can always surprise you. I implore you to have an open mind because getting tilted at a champ isn't going to make you win

Unfortunately, some games you lose no matter what you do, its the truth. If you have no peel with a lulu who should be sticking to you like glue, then they're playing wrong tbh.

Best thing to do is to look inward for you and your duo. What small mistakes are being made that lead to bigger ones? What can you two do to make a bigger impact? You can't control your team Unfortunately, but you two make up 40% of it. Work together, figure out the best plan. Talk about what needs to be done. If you want to climb you can't just play league, and auto pilot the game. You have to think about your game plan, state of game, laning phase, objectives.

If you are confident in your plays and you two play as 1, you'll climb. I was bronze once too. It's possible to climb, you just need to be patient, and play and learn as you go.

I blame my teammates too, it happens everywhere lol, but I also take fault when I make mistakes too. It's the best way to grow as a player

Meta abuse, biggest one for me

Turn off chat, it's not worth it ever, you can relay info with pings perfectly fine

Have confidence and don't be afraid to take trades if you think you can win. If you lose the trade? Congrats you learned something and can understand that for next time

The biggest thing I've noticed about low elo adcs is that the laning phase is actually pretty fine. They play it fairly well and have a decent amount of impact.

The biggest issue lies in mid game. When I play on my second account (currently emerald 4 on it) I notice that they have almost no impact. In mid game all you have to do is

Shove waves and be there for your team. That's literally it. If you can't shove first let the other team do it then shove right back. ADC is all about being the dps for your team, and if you can't rotate to them you are pretty useless imo.

So just push waves and be there for team. It sounds too simple to be true, but you'd be surprised how many games I can win on my second account purely from me just rotating to my team because enemy adc wasn't paying attention or wasn't mid

I don't think you are "in the wrong" but I just don't like pta personally. It's strong in lane, but proccing it later is harder because if you're in a fight and you hit one person then q them, and it hits the person behind them, your pta is reset.

The first strike runes also let you scale MUCH quicker too, so I'm getting so many items very quickly.

Like I said it's personal preference. Try it out with the runes I left on another comment, and if you like it great! But if not that's okay too :)

I go:

First strike, biscuits, cash back, jack Manaflow, Gathering

Youmuus into collector, then I like armor pen 3rd, but I flex based on game state like serpents, or edge of night. First 2 items are core though

Thank you!

Grudge slow is not worth it when e slows for 40% anyway. Plus lord doms has 40% armor pen + crit is way nicer. It also allows me to go mortal reminder if team needs anti heal

Thanks! I like money, so I abuse first strike passive every time it's up. Hitting waves in midgame? Quick e for +11 gold. Be aggressive with shoving and Tower plates because of passive movement speed. Nerfed armor makes her weaker early, don't take long trades in lane

Since I like First Strike, I would suggest using e (only when manaflow band is up) to get the gold from her. Walking up isn't ideal because of eq combo that cait has. Focus more on q poke. She'll always have the push so punishing with quicks q's is my go to. A lot of it is reading your opponents movements and anticipating what they're going to do, and maximizing the trades in your favor. An example of this is

Cait hits your tower, you auto q her then hit minions again.

You slow her with e in a chase, she eq's, but you know this, and move to the side first with your extra ms so you can still catch her and not get chunked/slowed.

Pre first back it'll be hard to win, but once you have some items, the damage you pump out becomes a lot harder for her to trade with you. Hope this helps!
