[2021] First time climbing ranked. Any tips?

Thanks for your advice. I've been focusing more on trying to learn from my mistakes than get tilted. I'll try taking breaks after a loss and see if that helps me focus on the next game better :)

If you lose two in a row step away from ranked, maybe for the rest of the day. Probably the best possible advice.

Beyond that, it's:

*Focus on one role (and even one champ)

*Understand that no single game matters. You'll lose, you'll win -- keep your eye on the big picture

*Learn as much as you can about League. Most of low-Elo climbing is about situational awareness and game sense over mechanics. You can get to Gold just by making better decisions than the other team.

*Learn to trade. An ADC that knows how to effectively trade in Bronze/Silver won't be there long.

But, overall, stay posi and remember League is here for you to have fun. If it ever starts to stress you out, take a couple days off :)
