User blog comment:Mineko Charat Lucky/What makes Platinum players different from Gold, and Diamond to Platinum?/@comment-10657048-20131027112710

Hi bros. Voodoofruit here. I am platinum, so i will try to answer some of your questions. First off, to be a succesful in plat (not to get carryed to there), u must know your champions and your game. U must counterpick only with champs u can play (not for examplet go second time caytlin cuz she cunterz vayne hurhur). Aven in champ select dont pick champs just for the lane, pick them for the late game strategies u make. For example if your jungler is amumu dont pick     Zed to counter lux, pick ori for mid-late game wombo combo and easy win. Build your team accordingly, not a bunch of random champs. Go for aoe or poke comp, strong late chams, high cc teams, etc. One of the most important things-Dont go tunnel vision on your lane. If u main mid(like me) Dont go farmfest. When u get around lvl 7 buy items, shove the lane and go duogank bot with ur jungler bot lane. Kill enemy bot, push theyr tower and gate drake. Voyla u got advantage. Ward enemy buffs mid game and go with ur jungler to gankbank theirs. do ur job in teamfight(peel, initiate, whatever ur champ is) Leave the kills to your adc and mage and defend them. All and all, the kay to win in plat is TEAMWORK. I say all that because people in gold areuch different. A gold players mindset is to "carry by themselves" And have a good kda. To be plat u need teamwork, mechanical knowledge, good decision making and supperior farmink skills. Hope i was helpfull and sorry for my english. -Voodoofruit out!
