How to Be Good at League of Legends
The Fundamentals Win
League isn't about flashy plays. It's about CS, vision, and macro. Master these three, and you beat 80% of players at any elo.
CS (last-hitting) is predictable income. 8 CS = 1 kill. That's not theory; that's math. Every missed CS is gold left on the table.
Vision Control
Vision wins games. A team that sees the enemy has a 70% win rate. Ward your lane. Watch minimap. Counter-ward. Vision is information, and information is power.
Place wards where the enemy wants to be, not where they already are. Predictive vision beats reactive vision.
Map Awareness
If you can't see an enemy, assume they're coming for you. This simple mental model prevents 90% of deaths. Stop blaming jungler. Look at minimap.
Map awareness is a habit. Check every 3 seconds. It becomes automatic after 100 games.
Champion Pools
Mastery requires limitation. Pick 2-3 champions and abuse them until you hit Challenger. You're not playing the game anymore; you're playing your matchups.
Deep champion knowledge beats shallow versatility every time.
The Mental Game
Your team will make mistakes. You will make mistakes. This is guaranteed. What matters is your mental after mistake #5.
Tilt loses games more than mechanics. Keep calm, mute all, focus on win conditions. Wins come from consistency, not drama.
