The best tips for increasing your League of Legends gold rank

Most League of Legends players are stuck below Gold, and for new players, escaping Bronze and Silver is even more difficult.

To this end, we have compiled some practical and effective suggestions for improving your scores. Although they cannot guarantee 100% success, as long as they are implemented seriously, they will undoubtedly help you gradually escape the "low score quagmire."

1. Improving vision awareness is not just an auxiliary matter

In the lower ranks, vision control is almost ignored. Many players mistakenly believe that warding is the exclusive responsibility of the support, but in fact, vision is the responsibility of the entire team, and players in any position should pay attention to this.

• It's not just the "conventional anti-gank eyes", you need to set up controls deep in the enemy jungle, such as the enemy's red and blue BUFF areas, triangular grass, jungle entrances and other key locations.

• Especially in the early stages, Deep Eyes can help you prevent jungle ganks or identify enemy intentions in advance.

• In the mid-to-late game when team fights are frequent, you should place wards in high-value areas such as the dragon pit, baron pit, and teleport points to grasp the enemy's movements in advance and seize tactical advantages.

2. Don’t use the same runes and items every game

Although this sounds basic, many players actually fail to adjust their configurations in response to changes in their opponents during the game.

• Many people will use a certain hero's "fixed runes" in a rigid manner, but in fact, runes and equipment should be adjusted according to the enemy lineup, laning opponents, and overall rhythm.

• Proper equipment can not only make your fight easier, but also make you more threatening in team battles.

3. Stay calm and reject toxic behavior

You’ve probably heard this advice countless times, but it’s still one of the most overlooked keys to rank up.

• League of Legends is a team game, and even if you perform well individually, you may still lose the game because of mistakes made by your teammates. But reacting emotionally and insulting your teammates will only make things worse.

• Stay focused and don't waste time in the chat bar blaming your teammates. Unless you are encouraging your teammates, communicating tactics, or apologizing for mistakes, it is better not to type.

• Negative emotions will not only affect your one game, but may also affect your entire ranking mentality and lead to a losing streak.

4. Master one position + two or three heroes

You can like many heroes and try to play many positions, but if your goal is to rank up, focus on one main position and master two or three core heroes.

• The more you play in your main position, the more proficient you will become in the rhythm, last-hitting, laning details, and teamfight responsibilities of that position.

• A deep understanding of your hero's strengths, weaknesses, extreme operations, jungle linkage, etc. can help you suppress the opponent in the laning phase and drive the situation on your own.

• Having too diverse a hero pool will prevent you from performing at your best in key games. Stability is the key to gaining points.
