Best way to practice? [closed]

Honestly, the best way to practice is just to play ranked. You learn the game the best way while everyone is generally being more serious in there. You don't NEED those extra things like perfect rune pages. You can get those through playing more and doing ranked will give that to you.

If you want to practice something simple like CSing, it's perfectly fine to play a handful of games with or without bots trying to get perfect CS scores. The main issue I have with this is that it is simply just not realistic. You will have a lane opponent to deal with and also potentially an enemy jungler. While it is fine to get the mechanical timing down, you still need to practice against and actual opponent.

There is nothing wrong with starting the same items every game, but you can definitely start different items according to your lane matchup. If I am say a Poppy top vs a Jax, I'll always run a Doran's shield because ALL of his attacks require autos to damage me. If I am vs a Mundo instead, I'll run a Doran's blade so I can use it to sustain myself and deal more damage if he autos to CS. Or if I am vs a Riven, I might start Cloth armor and 5 potions so that I don't die to her burst and also have good sustain. If the enemy is a Yorick, I'll instead start Flask and 3 health potions since I know i'll be taking a lot of ability abuse. It is a good idea to find out WHEN it is smart to buy different items. There is no single set of items you want to build no matter what.

In order to rise ranks, you don't need to carry the game. You simply have to do your role good. Let's say you are a top lane tank. The enemy gets an early first blood on you. Well, from here you might want to begin playing safer. If the enemy doesn't get ahead too far, your team isn't going to need to suddenly deal with a late game fed Renekton soloing their team. If you are slightly behind, your team can still easily win the game for you. If you get WAY behind because you feel like you need to make risky plays to carry. He might just win the game for his team (which essentially means you lost the game for yours). You need to determine when you can intelligently try to kill an enemy. If you are pretty sure you can kill an enemy if you initiate a lane fight, do you also know where the enemy jungle is at? You don't want to engage simply to be caught by the enemy jungler waiting nearby.

Also, you need to be familiar with every role. Doesn't mean you have to play them all extremely well, but if you get stuck in a position (because it will happen) you need to be able to at least be able to fill that role. Don't do what a lot of people do and throw a fit because you feel like you need to carry and get stuck as support and then pick Nidalee building damage instead of gold and support items. (BTW, I honestly feel support is one of the better positions to carry from.) Rising ELO is simply about being able to play the role you are assigned better than your opponent. If you consistently do this along with not feeding when you get behind, you will rise in ranks.

TL;DR; Someone telling you not to ranked until you have played a massive number of games is pretty silly. Use ranked to learn, it's honestly the best way to. Don't pay attention to what your rank is and just play with an open mind to learn from what mistakes you have. As long as you fill the role you are assigned and don't try to force carrying you will rise ranks.

For playing ranked you should be comfortable playing all roles and have at least 2 champions for each role.

You will not always get your favourite position (top or adc e.g.)

Last hitting can be practised in bot games. Most importantly, do not auto attack minions, wait until they have 100 or less hit points left and finish them off. Do not push your lane by actively wearing them down.

Play defensibly, in bronze the enemies will sooner or later make mistakes resulting in an easy kill. If not, keep farming

Can't comment, so I will add some suggestions here.

When you start playing ranked, most of all if you lost a lot of games and dropped down the tier, you will try continuosly to play and try to climb. If you have this kind of pressure, I can tell you will perform so bad you will keep on losing games after games. You can follow those simple rules:

• First of all, League of Legends is a game and you must have fun when you are playing.
• Remember, you will rise the ELO system winning more than losing. It seems kinda obvious, but you can climb even with a 55% win rate ( 11 W and 9 L in a 20 games series)
• Especially at the start, you will find a lot of toxic people you don't know how to handle. Just ignore them and play your game. You will lose more if you try to answer them or try to verbal-harrass them. So it comes:
• Be gentle with your team. Try to communicate. If your lane opponent flashed or tped just share this info with your mates. You can prepare a good gank or secure an objective with this kind of knowledge.
• Try to secure objectives not randomly but when the oportunity comes. Suppose your team killed the jungler or get double kill bot lane. This is the perfect time to do dragon, i.e.
• Force ganks or harrass when enemy' skills are on cooldown. For instance you can gank an "Ahri" if she has just tried to land her charm or a Jax used his counter strike or his leap.
• I don't want to add more but: Baron is a noob-magnet. You will lose a lot of games trying to secure it with your team half theirs lives, enemy team incoming, ace and gg. It is better to secure a tower or steal a buff instead of throw the game at baron.

Remember this timers:

1. 5 minutes blue/red buff --> Most of the cases, one buff is secured by jungler at 2.10 and 2.50 so, you can contest them at 7:10 and 7:50 if you know when he started.
2. 6 minutes Dragon --> Contest it if your mid is fair stronger or enemy jungler or bot lane has recalled or is dead.
3. 7 minutes Baron --> Do it if you got a clean ace or just you decimate enemy team or enemy team has no vision in the pit and you can kill so fast.
