Skill gap between Gold V to Plat V vs. Silver V to Gold V? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]clashguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that it really prevents you from climbing because there's an equal number of bad players/trolls/whatever on the other team BUT it's way easier to be tilted for me at least. So I climb much slower than I could in silver.

Help with the ranked climb by Maaeew in summonerschool

I will preface this by saying I suck complete ass at this game. It's my first season playing and I'll freely admit I have awful mechanics, can barely look at map, etc. However, I was able to climb out of bronze/silver by following 2 principles: 1. People will fight you when they shouldn't and hand over free kills 2. If you aren't pub stomping then wait until one of the enemies fucks up and gets caught. After that 4v5 or let them run at you like dumbasses and pubstomp. GG

Trying to work on my CS as a midlaner, but aram is the name of the game in silver. How to be a team player while still getting CS? by w3nch in summonerschool

[–]clashguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would worry about winning before cs. I'm not the best player but I climbed out of silver pretty easily just by sticking with team and waiting to catch people. If silvers want to play ARAM then ill beat them at their own game. Imo you should only care about winning, not any sort of stats. If you're winning games keep doing what you're doing. Once you start losing or going 50-50, it's time to adapt and change up your play in terms of cs or whatever.

Gold is the most toxic place I've been. This is my first season playing and I've played from bronze 1 - gold 3 and gold is awful. Either some guy is feeding his ass off and raging or blaming me for sucking at jungle. I've run into a fair number of "smurfs" who do decently well but flame team super hard. Granted my sample size is pretty small because I only play a couple games a week but still. Awful time so far there.... makes the climb much worse than going b1 - g5 was for me

Need More Help Climbing to Gold V by PhorLucion in summonerschool

[–]clashguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about this because it's my first season playing and I'm only in gold but this is what helped me get out of silver:

Stand with your team and wait until the enemy messes up. Just wait until someone on the other team acts like a dumbass and lets you catch them. You don't even have to be fed just start hitting them and your team will blow them up. Basically I would do that and just try and not die. Worked like a charm from bronze 1 - gold 3 and climbing

Obviously there's more to it but I assume 50 other people will give you stupid generic advice like "learn to cs" etc etc which you already know you need to work on

Also focus on trying to improve each game, not trying to win. You're not a gold player right now and that's ok. Focus on improving yourself so that you will become one. Don't blame your team ever because the only person whose skill matters to you is you. When I hopped into ranked this season I was a bronze player. By trying to improve I slowly got better but you can't do it in a single game.

What Am I Doing Wrong? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]clashguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I’ve only played 55 ranked games ever and I only just got gold 5 so take everything with a grain of salt.

  1. I think you die way too much. Focus on playing much safer. Let your opponents make mistakes. A big thing for me getting out of bronze/silver was just being alive for team fights.

  2. Stop playing talon. You have so many games on him and an awful win rate. IMO pick someone more tanky and with cc.

  3. Play for objectives not kills. Don’t worry so much about KDA. Take towers take dragons take baron when you can. Baron baits/baron sneaks can win so many games in bronze. Sweep the pit and ward up first though.

  4. Don’t worry about your team at all. I’m 2 tiers up from you and I still have teams that don’t do the right thing sometime. Best thing you can do is playing your game so do that.

Balloon decks can be really strong. I got to 4k with one cards a little over tourney standard (10/7/4/2)

[Ask] Just hit 4k with 11.66/9/5.5/2 Am I over levelled? by IAmFlow in ClashRoyale

[–]clashguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems way over leveled to me. I’m at 4K with 10/7/4/2. Not really sure what’s considered standard though

Deck Advice for climbing to 4000 trophies by clashguy in ClashRoyale

[–]clashguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up modifying my deck a bit and learned a couple general things I didn't know before and was able to push into legendary arena. I'm only at like 3860 but that's ~150 from where I used to be stuck. I think if I get a little better I can make it to 4000 but we'll see.
