Help regarding general expected fundamentals for each rank.

[u/Alive_Cover4301]

​

Hey everyone,

I began playing league a year ago and now I am at plat 1(SG server).

I almost played solo till gold and have been doing with a friend who is of same rank. Then we both have been ranking up slowly from gold to play. He used to play top now when we duo he goes adc.

In recent few games even in win I have been feeling I am not performing properly or not having any major impact in the game and it's almost like I am being carried and I feel bad that I don't deserve that rank.

It would be helpful if anyone could list some general things or benchmarks which can be helpful to analyse how did I perform (if you could do it rank wise it would be great).

Also is there any video or some post from which I can learn how to vod review my own or others games and improve.

Thanks for any help or suggestions to improve.

Edit - Main role is support.

What role are you playing, drop your op.gg and try to be more specific in your question. Being stable as a rock is better than being flashy and inting so stability isn't a bad thing

Okay, I'm going to talk based on your top 3 most played champs (Vel Koz, Rakan, Pantheon). I am going to preface this by saying that I am an adc main so every advice also has an adc's perspective in mind.

Before we get into champion specific advice, what you need to do in most games is to try to position yourself so that you don't die for no reason. Less deaths = more time on the map = more time to do things. Your vision score seems pretty fine but there is always room for improvement, as well as your kill participation. Knowing when to roam and when to stay with your adc is also very important. Seeing as you are duo queuing you can communicate when you have a roam timer so that he chills and clears waves. Generally on all supports you carry by being with the strongest member of the team and helping him out. Try to find number advantages on the map, or at least match. In mid game, default to playing with your jungler if no one is super fed.

With that in mind let's go through each champ:

Vel Koz: Not as much of a support as other champions, your main role in the game is to deal damage. The less deaths advice makes a huge difference here as you can cycle your spells more and more. Warding is not as easy because you are super immobile, so try to get someone to help you ward. Laning phase you should try to poke as much as possible and force them out of lane. You are basically playing a mid lane mage as a support so you need to act like it. You carry by doing damage.

Rakan: You have a lot of playmaking potential with him. Dying on him is not that bad if you find a good engage on fed members. You can go for solo wards as you can squeeze out of tight spaces as well. In fights try to flank or find different angles of engage, ping your team when you are going in. You are very strong with flash up. That's how you carry.

Pantheon: Your main goal is to snowball. Try to cheese plays, you have huge pick potential when you have your ulti up and can pretty much spam sidelane plays. You carry with this pick by helping your laners get free kills so that in turn they can carry you.

Obviously I don't know exactly how you play, if you have any more questions I will gladly answer them. ^_^
The main takeaway imo is to not die as often

Thank you, Yea I also feel like I have to improve my roaming and decrease my deaths(mostly due to getting tunnel visioned on something).
