I was just talking to someone on this page about Microwave Mentality (people want things within the time frame that it would require them to cook something in the microwave) and I was just thinking that its probably why people are stuck in Bronze or Silver or even Gold. They want the results NOW. They saw some middle lane player playing a champion with a certain rune set and item build and masteries and theyve read all the guides on that champion. Ive done all that! Why am I not in Challenger? -XxFioraMasterxX Well, because you have only theoretical knowledge at that point. League is a science. You have to apply your theory effectively in experiments (if you can repeat the results, then youve got yourself a good idea) and the only way to do that is to play the game! If youre an ADC who ALWAYS buys BotRK on your champion, you may need to change it up once in a while (you wont always have 3200g). If youre stuck in a certain division, look up and around you. Dont look down, though (because people just look down and say hahahaha, Im better than those scrubs, look, he rushed SotO on Annie!). Look up, to higher divisions and see what works for them and see how you can make it work for you, look around you for what works for other people in your division and try to improve upon it. You dont want to be 0/6 and just have boots and botrk and say All right, guys, its carrying time! 9.999999999999/10 times you will fail at carrying. Demanding something be done NOW is a sure fire way to get ruined. Especially in game: Gank mid, please! *Jungler pings On My Way* *Mid lane goes in and dies* Whyd you go in? Because you pinged! But, the jungler was coming to gank, I hear you saying, XxFioraMasterxX! Well, the jungler was at golems and they havent got tier 2 boots yet. I really like Gbay99, because he says something along the lines of The only way to get better is to play the game! and Fourpaws from How to top lane has taught me that getting a certain set of items on AP tanks can guarantee a win. I used Fourpaws theory and Gbays advice and played Malphite with a few alterations to Fourpaws itemization (to apply it to mid lane) and I so far havent lost a game (I think, but Lolking disagrees.) and thus Ive found what works for me by looking up, and around. If your experiment fails, try a new approach (if theres an AFK in your game, disregard that games result, even if its a win.) and try out the experiment in normal draft at least twice first. League is a science experiment, and you should always be prepared for false data, inconsistencies and imperfection. Keep optimizing until you are the reason someone gets nerfed. (THIS WILL TAKE LONGER THAN A HANDFUL OF GAMES.) Patience! As Time wizard says All in good time. (Translation: You wont wake up Challenger with 3442344 LP, but you might get there if you practice your gaming) and The way is always the same. (Translation: You will improve the same way Challenger level people did) -CD
