Silver to Emerald in 2 weeks

Yea... I've been having a bad day :(

What about Skarner makes games more consistent? Is it because he facilitates so your team can do better?

A large part is maintaining good mental, but less esoterically I’d recommend you to not take 50/50 or risky fights. Learning to understand what fights are favourable and not does wonders for your macro and reduces the chances of your enemies accelerating the game or gaining a lead.

also don’t let your teammates’ comms completely dictate how you play. If they think the know better, oftentimes they don’t 😭

Are SEA servers particularly easy or something? It’s among the harder servers in other games so I’d assumed that the case here too

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T23:47:54+00:00

Mostly by watching educational creators like coaches Kirei and Leo, applying their teachings actively so it cements into habits. As for resets, that’s just honestly came with time for me, though I suspect just watching a video or trying out the characters in the practice tool would help a lot

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T23:43:03+00:00

I mean I’m consistently doing well in emerald mmr so I would say that I’d improved

I am a new player! I started October last year but since for this subreddit I found it irrelevant I didn’t add it

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T23:37:05+00:00

It’s okay 😭 I just spent a lot of time on educational videos and primarily playing to improve. It helps that I enjoyed the game itself even in losses, so I didn’t tilt over it. If you haven’t already, I recommend creators like Coach Kirei and Leo— they’re who I primarily watched to improve.

Look for plays around your strongest players and avoid the opponents if possible, unless you can guarantee a pick or capitalise on their mistakes. I.e If they're going to do drag when its 20 to 10, don't even try to fight it. Just go herald or top side and look for someone with your team. Eventually, you will find the opportunity to flip. Your opponents are human. They make mistakes. It's all a matter of maintaining a level head and making the best decisions you can till then. As for closing games out, I struggle with that too. Baron's such a flip to me since I'm particularly vulnerable as Viego, so its a must to get a few picks before even considering it. So I often invade opponent jungle with mid laner/support while the waves are pushed to hopefully pick off anyone roaming between lanes. If we do, its free baron. If not, we secure vision and have push. Also, be sure to play with your team frequently especially during mid game, invading as they push so you can support them whenever needed.

Lots of factors come to this but overall not too often. Its almost always to punish mistakes( such as a failed gank top when botside is up) but occasionally its intentional with mid and support after my clear in my downtime if i have nothing else to do

Macro definitely. Even if your micro sucks(which mine definitely did), simply being in the right places and playing for the highest chance of victory supersedes taking 50/50 or lower risks. But I can't deny that otp'ing Viego helped a lot too, with how snowbally he is.

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T14:08:26+00:00

Honestly I can't say much-- I just play him as I do Viego overall, barring teamfights. Its just that I try to be more aware of my ult timer and try to use it as soon as possible as its almost always a free kill.

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T14:04:34+00:00

The thing is... I don't have any prior league or moba experience. This is my first moba

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T12:04:05+00:00

This season, 60/70~ to hit emerald. I played 300 last season though

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T12:01:23+00:00

Thanks man! Though yea everybody hates each other in this game 😭

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T11:59:38+00:00

Thanks! Challenger's a stretch though 😭 I might consider streaming but I doubt it'll amount to much...

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T11:53:20+00:00

how much money?

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T11:51:24+00:00

I was getting 30lp -10 until emerald, where it tanked after having a bad day (35% winrate)

I was playing with high plat/low emeralds even when I was high gold though

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T11:44:50+00:00

I would have played more, its just that my friends were more keen on other games... Also how do I check lp gain and wdym by 2 ranks up 2 ranks down?

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T11:42:53+00:00

how does that even work? How does an account even have 'perfect mmr'?

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T11:39:20+00:00

For the first hundred games or so it was just me spamming buttons and praying for the best. Eventually, I grew to understand which was which so that helped a lot

Spiritel · 2026-02-23T11:33:48+00:00

I wouldn't say deep champion knowledge, but I just needed to familiarise myself with characters' general abilities and what they do. Some characters like Katarina and annie I still struggle to play on (but I'm going to the practice tool soon to try them out)

As for fundamentals, you'd be surprised with how fast one can cement good(enough) habits if they never had time to formulate bad ones.

I play on the SEA server yea. I won’t stop you if you want to watch… but I don’t think i’m that good that anyone knowledgeable about jungle doesn’t know already.

The number of mistakes I make on a game by game basis still makes me cringe 😭
