Focus on self-improvement: Concentrate on your own performance and decision-making rather than dwelling on your teammates' mistakes. "You do what you can, focus on your performance and either these 4 guys int you or they don't."
Take responsibility: Acknowledge that if you are stuck, it's due to your own areas for improvement. "If I'm stuck, it's because I'm not good enough."
Learn from every game: Every game, win or lose, offers an opportunity to identify and correct your own errors. "You should just focus on improving instead of worrying about game to game LP gains or losses."

Master a small champion pool: Focus on 1-3 champions you enjoy and understand deeply, rather than constantly switching. "Main one champion that has a strong kit and you enjoy playing."
Understand macro gameplay: Learn post-laning phase strategies, including wave management, objective control, and timely rotations. "Most people I know that are stuck up to emerald usually have no idea how to play after laning phase."
Review your games: Analyze your deaths and decision-making by rewatching your games or seeking coaching if you struggle to identify mistakes. "rewatch your games and focus on when you're dying."

Manage tilt and stress: Take breaks after losses and avoid playing when tired or frustrated. "Take breaks when you lose and keep playing when you're winning."
Mute chat: Eliminate potential distractions and negativity from teammates by muting chat. "concentrating only on my performance/ mute all"
Limit game sessions: Restricting yourself to a few games a day can prevent autopilot and burnout. "Limit yourself to 3 games a day."

Jungle and Mid are often cited as high-impact roles: These roles provide significant influence across the map through ganks, objective control, and roaming. "Jg or mid"
Support can carry, especially with good map awareness: While some Redditors argue support lacks agency, others emphasize its carry potential through vision and enabling teammates. "Support is a position that you can carry from."
Any role can climb with enough skill: Ultimately, your proficiency in a role is more important than the role itself. "your role is not the reason you aren't climbing."

Are you currently struggling with a particular aspect of your gameplay, such as decision-making or mechanical skill?
