For those of you wallowing the the depths of ELO, I bring you my guide to getting up to mid-high ELO.
Most high ELO players recommend you learn doing the following things to get up to high ELO, as these are characteristics of good players. These include:
0) Must Buy Wards
1) Orders/Follows the Team to Dragon/Baron
2) Regards timings of Dragon, Buffs, Baron, Respawns, etc. and plans accordingly.
3) Destroy objectives and get out with a task, not loitering around trying to taunt the enemy.
4) Excellent last-hitting and farming, as well as knowing when to give up your farm
5) Knowledgeable in organizing and coordinating the team, efficient teamwork
6) All roles need to be understood and played to compensate for team as necessary.
7) Initiates teamfights properly, and doesn't do something stupid like face checking
8) Sees everything going on in the minimap and reacts accordingly.
9) Excellence in the laning phase.
*) Really acquainted with every champion's skills.
I don't do any of these things. I am a bad player. Playing with me or against me exasperates good players if it doesn't outright piss them off. Yet somehow I am up here, and you are down there. That's because being a good player and brute-forcing your way to high ELO are two different things.
Here's Caller's methods to get your ELO up.
Method 1: Make someone decent to play on your account.
This should be fairly obvious. Having someone who's 1800+ ELO play on your account tends to have positive impact on your ELO, as they are decent and can usually 1v5. In addition, they'll play actual legit champions, helping to hide your previous 0-4 record in ranked as Mordekaiser. However, not everybody is as good as getting on their knees and bobbing your head as I am. That's why there are other methods.
Method 2: Only play Tanky DPS.
Despite being one of the more useless roles in a 5v5 arranged, Tanky DPS champs are an easy way to raise your ELO, because you can stomp idiots 1v5 with them. These include champs like Renekton, Mordekaiser, Irelia, Jarman IV, Olaf, Xin Zhao, and so on.
But wait, you say. These champs don't offer anything to the team. All they do is do damage and are hard to kill.
No shit, I say. If you kill the enemy guys that can hurt you, all that's left are guys that can't hurt you, so you can kill them too. And since 9 times out of 10 Zilean will be speeding himself up to put a bomb on your Amumu while you are about to kill Ashe with your Mordekaiser Ghost up on her, you will usually get away with it.
So what if Mordekaiser is the most useless champion for a team since all he does is push lanes, steal farm from the carry, and have no CC. Mordekaiser can 1v5. And at low ELO, that's all you need.
Method 3: Request to Get Carried
By "Get Carried" I don't mean duo queue, because the game likes to compensate for your duo queue by giving you 3 Class AAA retards, instead of the usual you + 4 Class B Retards. Rather, I mean you get the good players on your team, and you pick on their weak players. This is usually best done by picking a champion good at somping baddies, like Mordekaiser.
Method 4: Dominate and lead your team.
This skill is what I call "Yelling." Yell at your team and tell them to do things. Yell at them to take Dragon/Tower/Baron/Gank. If someone else tries to take command let them/overrule them at your discretion. Don't be a prick about it, but be a hardass. Usually, you need a champion that can give the aura of command. I recommend Mordekaiser. People tend to listen to a big man in metal suit than some pansy as catgirl that shoots lasers.
Method 5: Exasperate and aggravate the enemy team.
This skill is what I call "Trolling." Ban random champions and don't follow the "standard" picks. Say random Korean and Brazillian catchphrases in all chat. This will accumulate overtime into a big passive taunt to be placed on you. Meanwhile, the squishier members of the team will be less likely to get focused down. In order to deal with this taunt, I suggest playing a champion that can handle the damage. Someone like Mordekaiser.
Alternatively, you can actually do all of the things that good players recommend doing.
This is not recommended due to time constraints. Why would you want to play 300 games when you can play 50 games as Mordekaiser and get just as far?
|
One advantage of being tanky is the ability to physically lead your team places without the same risk of being picked off. When you're bossing your team around make sure you watch minimap. More than once I've gone in one direction while the team went another and one or the other has died. Usually me. Wards also help with this. Buy wards, even if you rice top lane all game.

I definitely could stand to learn something from those numbers.

First I skim over this, and I'm like, Caller doesn't do any of these things. And then.

I think there's alot to be said for this approach to gaining Elo. While it's a great idea to work on your own play, at low Elo it's a lot easier to just exploit poor play by others. So yeah, doesn't really matter if Morde isn't good in high level games because your opponents aren't high level.
|
I like how this guide pretty much says play Mordekaiser. I love it XD
I have to admit that im one of Callers converts i asked him whos best to carry with and he responded with Morde. And it has worked out quite well. Usually if i can get to late game as Morde i win.
Also those ten tips are all true. I hate it when people say i wont waste money on wards >.>
And also I love who i always have more cs then everyone else in the game as morde.
Morde to carry the carries that can't carry :D Thx for the tips Caller your appriciated.

I thinkz I do method 2 to 5 very wellz. Pls elaborate on method 1.

I will now test these Methods with my corresponding Theory of Elo Doesn't Mean Shit Cause Grackis Is 1800.
Method #1: Grackis didn't have pros help him out. In fact he duo q's with other awful high ranking players to fuck himself over even harder.
Method #2: Irelia/Malz: Grackis half follows this method but still fucks up at it with shitty builds.
Method #3: Doubt it.
Method #4: Grackis makes mistakes then yells at team thus furthering his chances of losing.
Method #5: Goddamn Grackis is good at this

You forgot: Claim that their champions are OP so they cant play cus they type 8D
And above will work with anything that insults their sore e-peen.
Though fun guide especially because of the "I dun do any of these"

Spud had me laughing my ass off at this. So incredibly true.

This guide is 100% correct. I kept losing all the time trying to play useful champions in solo or duel queue. One day I decided to use Morde and I couldn't stop winning.
Then last night I queued as a full team with my friends and got stomped 3 straight times as Morde. I realized since my friends actually know how to play, and the other team is also a premade with good communication, I should stop playing useless Morde and play a champ with better utility. I should also stop being bad and actually buy wards, etc. We went on to win 5 straight.

As Mr Spock would say: Fascinating.
Also, hilarious, comedy gold xD.
Mundo wonders how well Mundo could mun-do this strategy. Mundo actually have enough damage output to smash towers instead of simply having spikey metal shards that mundon't mundo towers down too well. Mundo thinks this be useful when for example half of Mundo's team goes to farm after scoring an ace, instead of smashing turrets and inhibs. Mundo also top quality troll material, just mundo in /all chat all game long. Mundo will go where he pleases !
Mundo will definitely try this on his smurf.

Double Zeal Mundo is so much fun. Build Dshield Boots Warmogs Zeal Zeal and never teamfight. You're nidalee without the burst or poking power or ability to heal other people! But you also don't blow up in teamfights. I almost managed to win a 4v5 where every other lane fed by doing this.

bought morde, testing theory as we speak.
edit: a quick reference for brazillian and korean catchphrases would be a great addition to the guide.

Rhav's guide to trolling chat:
1. All caps, all the time.
2. "shutup" "i hate you" "no u" "mother candy" "father candy" "why you chit" all good phrases.
3. repeat what opponents say and swap letters around. Bad manner? MAD BANNER
4. type several lines of blank text now and then.
5. make as little sense as possible.
ez mode come on why you even have to ask this stuff yo

I followed this guide to the letter.
After the win and trolling with "morde es #1, always kill, never die, always win, never lose." I was then told: "jesus, go fucking die in an earthquake you retarded foreign piece of garbage"
Mission accomplished

6hrs of Morde today, no luck at all. I have a better record with pre-buff Eve than morde in ranked. I am thoroughly trolled by Caller's advice.

Judging by that screenshot you're misunderstanding the 'Always kill, Never die' part of Morde.

Ur doing it wrong.

Always kill, never die takes a backseat to always win, never lose. Get ur priorities straight, huehuehue

Yes of course, but there's nothing wrong with duo queueing is all I'm saying.

win record solo q 50-18
win record duo q 21-30
duo queuing may reduce the amount of retards on your team but it will make up for it by increasing the retardedness of your retards. So lanes that may have only died once normally will end up dying three or four times before ragequitting.

Too true. In solo q I sometimes get retards, sometimes get good players who carry me. Very random.
In duo q, we get matched up with grade-A mental cripples, every time, no exceptions. Just last night, we win teamfight at baron. 4 enemies dead, all of us alive. Let's baron, I say. Udyr goes to jungle, renekton goes to farm bot, teemo chases into enemy jungle and tower dives, dying in the process.
|
Inept and I duo queued and literally got retard after retard after retard. I think we lost 5 in a row and both went highly positive in all of them.
|
I think if you're vastly both superior to theelo you are playing in, then duo que is good.
|
duo queue until you can't feed off of them so hard they ragequit anymore
solo queue until you're at your level
