so, then the real question becomes "how do you raise your skill?" - which is what I plan to show my opinion on in this post! (note: cliches incoming (because they are true))
- Practice.. Yes, obviously, but I mean this is truly the only way you will get better. This game is constant split second decisions, you cant "think" these decisions through, you need to be able to act and react accordingly. To do the correct stream-of-consciousness decisions you need practice! Theres no tricks, or shortcuts, or easy way, just good ol' hardheaded practice :| (or talent).
- Reflect and CORRECT. You need to think about what you did, how it went, why it went that way, and what coulda been done differently. Its important to know when you made a good decision, and when you did a poor decision, so you can know what to replicate and what to correct!.. HOWEVER, More important than recognizing, is ACTUALLY CORRECTING. Theres so much bs on forums/reddit/etc. where people are like "my understanding is better than my skill" or "i should be higher elo than i am - i know much more". THESE ARE BS EXCUSES AND SHOULD BE VIEWED AS SUCH. (note: i used to say these things often). They are just justifications for poor play, you make your consequences feel not as impactful because you say "oh yea, i know that was a mistake, thats ok ill just correct it next time" - whether you knew or not doesn't matter at all - all that matters is what happened!
- Take responsibility. This is very similar to above, but it irks me so bad when people bring up how they are at their elo because of external reasons (I HAD A FIREDRILL AND HAD TO GO AND IT WAS MY FIRST RANKED GAME SO I LOST 50 POINTS AND THEN GOT PLUNGED INTO ELO HELL, THATS THE ONLY REASON IM 700 ELO, TRUST ME). man up.
- Stop watching streams excessively. As much as I hate to say this as a streamer myself, I want to tell the truth. I also know this specific point will get a lot of people mad as well, but streams dont help you get better directly. They give you knowledge, that can help you win, but they dont raise your skill almost at all. The only improvement they can really give you is expose you to another perspective, which accompanied by reflection and practice can help build skill. For example, a new janna player may be watching a janna stream, and see the streamer ult someone into their tower, and they had never ever seen or thought about this before - so, now they can put this in their "playbook" and position and execute around this. This will help their skill because they practice around a new technique which helps them learn to position. BUT, watching streams, copying builds, copying runes and masteries, etc. dont help you raise your own skill - they may help you win games, but dont help you get better.
- Play with the best people you can. This ties in to 1st point - with stream of consciousness decision-making, playing around good people accurately rewards/punishes small decisions. you start to mimic and predict their actions subconsciously, become better in return. So, this means if you want to get better - play ranked not normals. if you want to get better, stop duo queueing with your friend smurf, play on your own. stop playing with worse people to play vs worse people to own them and feel good about yourself. (however, this doesnt mean stop playing with RL friends and such - its still a game about enjoyment!)
- Try hard. I'm all for calling people tryhard, as any of my friends would tell you, however - if you want to play to get better, try hard in every game, and dont call people tryhards (excuse, see #2 about why excuses are bad). So, trying hard again builds your stream-of-consciousness decision making, while you can always toy around with "let me try to go this build this game" or "let me see this tactic this game", stream-of-consciousness decisions are harder to adjust. so if you play often with bad habits like suiciding randomly because you don't want to try hard, or tanking harass because you are too lazy to dodge it, it will become a habit -.-, and you will become a worse player !
- Play for depth, not for gimmicks. This game is very very busy, there are 10 players, many different compositions, many different playstyles, and overall every game is different. This is great because this is what makes this game so much fun; however, this also makes it so much harder to learn! With all these factors its hard to establish what you are doing as good or bad, to see what you should reproduce. So, to combat this I think the best way to learn is to play the same thing over and over and over, while it may get tedious your learning goes way up as you have one constant in this game of many variables, you learn the ins and outs of a specific champion or playstyle, and then you learn more about your surroundings. You do not just learn how to play that one champion, but rather you also learn COUNTERPLAY - which is so key in this game. Once you learn one champion very well you actually learn more about the other champions than by playing each one once. FOR EXAMPLE: CRIS. He played riven and only riven for so long; however, in only playing riven he did not just learn about riven, but about all other top laners or general compositions. From there the learning curve on playing other champions was drastically shortened, cause he learned what to do by learning how to counterplay against those champions.
- Experiment. Many people have played this game tons and probably have plateaued and not even gained still in the last of their many games. This is because people get stuck in playing in the same rut. Go into a game and consciously go for a different playstyle to learn something else. Even if this playstyle is not optimal or not the best for winning, it can teach you mechanics which you can then bring back to your main style and use. For example, I play dozens of games of support a week. However, one day I decided "I'm going to play really passive and try to never die in any of these games. I am not going to take any risks and see how successful it is." And even though those games were painfully boring, I learned more in those few games than I did in probably the dozens of other games that week. Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone or to lose, learning is the most important! NOTE: PLAYING LEBLANC SUPPORT FOR 2 GAMES ISN'T EXPERIMENTING.
- It is better to play few games actively, than to mindlessly play several games. This is something we online gamers do, sit at the comp and play like 5-8 games a day! You may see this under the illusion of "practicing!" but, most of the time our brains don't have the focus to play that many games in a row at an understanding level, and instead we just kinda shut down and coast after a few games. If you are serious about getting better it is better to play 1-2 games, go out for break or walk or w/e, come back and play a few more. This may be less entertaining, which we are all really playing for, but if you are serious about getting better this is the way to do it!
- DON'T FOCUS SO HARD ON ELO. Elo is a measurement of skill; however, it is long term. Just because you spiked in elo by playing AP eve mid doesn't mean that you should only play ap mid eve. you should look for LONG TERM elo gain, not short term, because as we mentioned earlier there are tons of variables in these games. An example is there are always random people who find some OP build or cheese strat and spike into high elo; however, I feel there is a distinct difference in skill from people who have been high elo for months than this who just spiked up.
