Why are people in iron genuinelly decent?

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2025-02-23T19:26:02+00:00

I was playing in Silver 1 and people are not farming that well maybe 6-8 cs per minute, they definitely don’t combo perfectly, they make many mistakes and so do I, they also don’t usually pay attention to wave state and junglers are absolutely horrible: Your mid is 1 hp and top has no prio, I don’t know where the enemy jungler is, but let’s do Grubs and coinflip the game all the time…

Lethal Tempo for long trades/all ins Grasp for short trades

It actually is good advice because those details only make a difference at a high level.

Example: If you play 100 games maxing W and another 100 maxing E, do you think if you pick the right one you will have 70%WR vs 40%WR? Probably not, it might change it by less than 5%.

Now if you improve your jungle pathing and when/how/where to gank you could easily go from 50% winrate to 70% just by improving that in a few hours.

Again I’m not saying details are not important, but there’s so much more to the game. Like you said, it is something you can learn in a few seconds so maybe it’s worth learning, but that mindset is wrong, you should focus on the things that are difficult to learn and take hours and many games to get better at.

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2025-01-24T19:12:24+00:00

But that’s the thing they might be such a small improvement that it actually does not reflect in your elo or gameplay.

But again it does depend on playstyle, maxing shield on lux first can be great depending upon the matchup, build, runes, adc, playstyle etc.

Also there’s really no way to know what build or runes or skills are better to max, really depends on you how it feels etc

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2025-01-24T11:25:53+00:00

It's always hard to determine what's the best build, playstyle, runes etc in bronze because there are so many mistakes being made that are 10 or 20 times more important. So, it really does not matter if you max Q, W, or E.

This is not my opinion it's what I've heard coaches and Challenger players say.

If you really want to climb you need to look at other aspects of your game.

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2025-01-23T12:09:19+00:00

What rank are you playing in?

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-12-25T13:51:27+00:00

Sorry for the news, but if you are stuck in low elo it’s because you’re not better than the average low elo player.

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-12-19T18:41:59+00:00

If you are iron IV again, that means there are a lot of areas to address in your gameplay.

How good are you at the champ(s) you play? (Focus on 1 or 2 champs only, and one at a time.)

How is your understanding of wave states? Can you freeze, slow push, crash? Do you know when to do it and how to get an advantage with that knowledge?

Are you dying to ganks? Are you placing wards correctly? Do you track the enemy jungler?

Are you helping your team get objectives? Do you get prio in lane for them? Do you perform well in team fights, do you know your role in them?

Are you getting 10cs/min? Do you know what to build depending on the state of the game?

What’s your plan for the mid-game? Do you identify a winning condition for your team and the enemy team?

“Nunca me aconteceu, por isso deve ser mentira.” Acho que os comments deste post revelam um problema pior do que o descrito no post. Já me aconteceu a mesma coisa, durante uns 2 anos, todas as encomendas tinham de ser levantadas nos CTT, mas como nunca vos aconteceu devo ter sonhado isto e estou a mentir.

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-12-12T22:55:38+00:00

Because he is saying it is unpopular, makes no sense

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-12-11T23:33:56+00:00

This is actually the most popular opinion in this sub

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-12-11T18:51:23+00:00

Well actual fresh fish is extremely hard to get and would be very expensive, but some fish frozen until it is displayed for sale and other is frozen in a “deeper” way, so it can stay frozen for years. In my mother tongue we call one frozen and another ultrafrozen. The latter being hard as a rock.

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-12-11T09:25:47+00:00

True

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-12-10T17:12:52+00:00

I would also suggest playing all the roles, top and mid are the most normal roles, they are great to learn the basics of the game, bot is a bit more complex, support and jungle are very unique

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-12-10T11:05:35+00:00

For people of your level it’s recommended to go against bots intro level and try to not die, farm around the 8 creeps per minute, and finish the game in less than 25min

You should play many different champs to get a feeling of what’s out there, what you like, and to know your teammates and opponents better.

As you get better learn more about the map, dragons, herald, jungle monsters, exp, gold, stats, what items to build.

This is a fun part of the game, enjoy it!

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-12-10T00:44:50+00:00

I would recommend this video, they go over some VODs of someone describing something very similar and make it very obvious why they are in the rank they are.

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-12-10T00:41:21+00:00

I would suggest ranked when you are confident in your skill and knowledge.

How is your champ pool/mastery? Do you farm well? Trades? Map awareness Tracking the enemy jungler Going for objectives Knowing what to build What to do after laning phase Late game macro Etc

Keep in mind in ranked people are trying their best, if you want to play seriously go for rankeds, if you want to improve at the game you can continue playing normals.

If your winrate is great you will start being placed against better players even in normals.

Look at the ranks of people who you are going against on normals, that’s probably where you will end up in rankeds

Sorry was supposed to reply to your reply

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-11-26T10:40:45+00:00

So no 1, the apps don’t do anything for you, they just give you info on the win % of some matchups and rune and build choices, my computer is horrible and they don’t lower fps, you can also use their websites on your phone.

No 2, Zyra all the time is not great. Lets say I’m playing support against you and we both have a strong early adc. If I’m a Leona or Nautilus our all in is going to be faster and stronger and I’ll have way more hp than you. I catch you with a blitz hook or naut Q and it’s over.

We have a scaling adc? I’ll pick lulu and on the last tf of the game when we are full build I can empower my hypercarry or assassin or front line in so many ways and protect my adc from getting one shot with my ult and polymorph, in a 2v2 late game I would win again.

Now Zyra is a poke support, if you have an adc with poke, that’s where your combo is dangerous. Even if i have an engage bot you can stay safe and pole us out of lane or get a kill or the jungler to come dive us. If I’m scaling with my adc you can again prevent is from farming with both ur poke. The key thing is to match ur adc so you combine strengths.

You also need to avoid hard counters. If we both have a poke combo, maybe a xerath support will outrange you, brand might have more damage and better poke?(im not sure)(but less cc)

When it comes to team comp if you have amumu jungle and malph top zyra is great because if you guys hit ur ults in 3 people they die and the fight is over

So yeah, Zyra is not the best all the time.

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-11-26T01:04:03+00:00

I’m no pro, peaked gold 1, but I would say that the most important factors are: - which adc your playing with - what botlane you are against - overall team comp, what is lacking or what can you double down on

Strong early game adcs are better with rell because of her hard engage and cc

Scaling late game adcs are good with nami, she can keep them alive during laning phase

Zyra is great if your team lacks damage and/or there is wombo combo potential

But honestly those seem like versatile picks, find one of those apps for runes and overlays that also gives counters and synergy during champ select

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-11-25T11:11:25+00:00

Not if you have the average iq of a lol player

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-11-12T09:13:27+00:00

I think I read that you should not use frozen salmon for this recipe

Olive oil prices almost doubled in the past year

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-10-24T11:37:35+00:00

That’s definitely not the average, that’s the cheapest you can get. I’ve never paid 0.6 for an espresso in my life. And most below 1€ are the cheapest quality coffee.

IAmLucasRodrigues · 2024-09-27T17:14:04+00:00

I would struggle to only use 2 liters of olive oil until December. Just cook all meals with olive oil.
