As we all know, climbing the ranked ladder in League of Legends can be a challenging and frustrating experience. With so many variables at play, it can be difficult to know where to start. However, some certain key strategies and habits can help you improve your gameplay and climb the ladder. In this blog post, we will provide you with 10 tips to help you rank up in League of Legends. These tips cover a range of topics, from champion selection and communication to objective focus and mindset. By following these tips, you can improve your chances of climbing the ladder and achieving your desired rank. So, let's get started!

League of Legends is a very diverse and versatile game. Instead of trying to play every champion in the game, focus on a few (preferably meta) picks that you enjoy playing and master them. This will allow you to learn their strengths, weaknesses, and matchups. You'll also be able to make better decisions in-game. There are currently 163 champions in League of Legends, each with five different and unique abilities. There’s nothing wrong with choosing a few to master. You can learn the rest as you play along.

Instead of getting frustrated or blaming your teammates, focus on what you could have done better in each game. Even if you’re 10/0 thinking that you couldn’t have done anything better to carry that 0/7 top laner in your team, look at your replays.  From there, analyze your mistakes and try to learn from them so that you don't repeat them in the future. Keep in mind you cannot win every game but you can learn from them. There are games that you simply cannot carry and win but as long as you keep learning this will be to your benefit in the long run.

League of Legends is a team game so communication is key. Make sure to communicate with your teammates positively and constructively. Encourage them, share information, and coordinate your efforts to achieve your objectives. Keep in mind that flaming or toxic behavior will cause your teammates to play worse instead of better. Try to keep your cool and work with your team to plan your next move.

Ward Consistently

Vision is an essential aspect of League of Legends. Make sure to place wards in strategic locations to gain vision of your enemy's movements, as well as prevent ganks and ambushes. Whenever you plan to push to try to track the enemies consider what their next move might be so you know where to ward. 

Next time when you push that top lane 3 minutes into the game, consider warding it before an enemy jungler ambushes you. The 2:45-3:30 mark is the usual time when junglers either finish their full clear or look for a gank. It is wise to step down from your lane (even at the cost of a minion) to ward and make sure you do not die to an obvious gank.

Focus on Objectives

In League of Legends, winning is all about taking down the enemy Nexus. To do this, you need to focus on objectives like turrets, dragons, and Baron Nashor. Coordinate with your team to take down these objectives to gain an advantage. You might want to farm and kill your enemies to grow stronger.  However, in the end, it is all about pushing the enemy base.  So, sometimes it might be worth it to take a tower instead of going for a kill on the side lane.

Stay Calm and Positive

League of Legends can be a stressful game. That’s why it’s important to stay calm and positive. Don't get discouraged by losses or toxic teammates. Focus on your performance and try to improve going into each game. Even when you’re getting trolled and grieved, your best line of defense is to remain calm.  Focus on what you can learn from your own mistakes as much as you can while staying positive.  As great as it is to win, sometimes experiencing a loss has its value, too.  Take it as a learning opportunity and use that to move forward.

If you encounter toxic teammates often that is testing your patience, consider using the command “/deafen” as this will put an end to the problem before it goes too far.  You two will no longer be able to communicate with each other anymore but that’s the point.  Why put up with a teammate’s toxic behavior when you don’t have to?

Practice Regularly

Like everything we do that requires skill, League of Legends needs a regular practice schedule to improve. Play regularly and learn from your mistakes along the way.  Use the lessons to improve your gameplay with each game.

Grinding that solo queue might help you improve but so will watching pro players on streaming services like YouTube. Also, be sure to follow coaching sessions.  This is how some of the best teams in whatever sport they play go from the status of a losing team to a winning one.

Don’t get discouraged if you can’t get out of a lower rank as quickly as you’d like.  It takes time to improve and everybody has their own pace.  Keep in mind that improving a few divisions throughout a season still counts.  Be sure to pat yourself on the back each time you’ve reached a goal you’ve set for yourself.

Watch and Learn From Professional Players

Watching professional players to learn new strategies, tactics, and builds will help your gameplay. Pay attention to their decision-making and try to understand why they made them. Even though your average ranked game will differ tremendously from a professional match, you can still learn a lot by watching pro leagues like LEC, LCS, LCK, LPL, etc.

Take Breaks

Playing League of Legends for long periods can be exhausting.  It can also hurt your gameplay.  In some cases, even your mental health. Take regular breaks and use them to wind down.  Go do some stretching exercises and refresh yourself so that your mind can think more clearly.  These methods will help improve your performance and not just as a player.  It will also help you as a person.

There’s nothing worse than suffering a losing streak and then forcing yourself to play another match just for the sake of getting a win.  At this point, you’re no longer playing for enjoyment.  This leads to toxic behavior that will only make your situation worse.  Simply breathe and walk away the moment you find your stress level threatens to take away your fun.  Remember, League of Legends is just a game and should be treated as such.  As soon as you treat League of Legends like a chore, your attitude toward it will take a turn for the worse.  By taking breaks, you keep the fun and the stress out.

Don't Give Up

Climbing the ranked ladder can be a difficult and frustrating experience.  However, as important as it is to take breaks, don't give up. Stay focused on the goals you’ve set for yourself as you strive to improve your gameplay.  By exercising patience and the willingness to learn, you will eventually reach your desired rank.  If it’s as fast as a month to get there or as long as a year, focus more on what makes your gaming experience fun.  Don’t stress out about how long it may take to achieve your goals. As long as you continue to strive for them at your own pace, this is what matters most overall.

Make sure not to be anxious about your performance. There’s nothing wrong with having a bad game or a minor losing streak.  This happens to everyone. You should not be afraid of pressing that play button just because you're at 0 LP and fear demotion.

By following these 10 tips, you can improve your gameplay and climb the ranked ladder in League of Legends. Remember to stay focused on your goals.  The key is to stay positive and keep working to improve your gameplay. With time and effort, you can achieve your desired rank and become a better player.
