I will start from worthy foe+ since until worthy foe i guess without constant feeding/leaving games etc you will be able to reach it...that and a bit of experience!

Got Swagger: In this skill tier people know how to play every hero but they dont understand the terms of starving the enemy team, ganking team, item counter build, push and the importance of objectives and farm...once you get to know one of these tactic and use it while playing decently you should be able to climb to credible treath!

Credible Treath: In this skill tier people have the same lacks as Got Swaggers but they are more aggresive and better skilled players! They are prone being ultra aggresive since most of them are desperate to reach The Hotness! Counter aggresive and late game carries tend to work very well in this skill tier like Gwen, Ringo, Grumpjaw etc...capitalize on their mistakes and reach Hotness!

Hotness: In this skill tier people start to experiment with draft mode but most of them do not properly know the comps and how to item counter build! Also they are quite shy in offense...the Got Swagger and Credible Treath lacks are lessened to a degree! Understand how comps works and whats a nice draft! The rest will come naturally...

Simply Amazing: In this skill tier you will start seeing talented people...talented people that lack the knowledge and have some flaws in their games! Make sure your knowledge od the game mechanics is top notch and you should be able with a bit of work to make it to Poa...

Poa: In this skill tier most of the people know wtf is up...the ones that you see that dont play well are the ones that have not a nice day not in shape or just troll, but make no mistake everyone can play and you will see less and less basic mistakes made...theres a main difference between poas and vgs players...vgs players are way stronger late game and more aggresive overall! Improve your late game and you should be able to reach Vainglorious skill tier!

You can also ask in the answer section any specific details about a specific skill tier! Ill try to answer...when you ask specify your skill tier and the problems you are facing! Do not whine about teammates...this thread is for self improving!

I am stuck in got swagger gold and for the past days i am facing "noob" team mates even in parties (which i don't host), and have to hard carry till the end.
Its not that i don't make mistakes , i started as a jungler and ended up as a carry right now, if u check my account in vgminer.com (cyanogenmoded sea), you will see that i am very bad at jungler , a liitle better at roam and outstanding at carry , i want is tips how to improve, how to engage and should i solo q or party(recently i party only for casuals)
And how should i teach my friend to play better and rank he is in tier 3 so i don't rank with him.
I will be your worst nightmare

depends wich carries you are using...probably strongest carry is Ringo...cp or wp...try to farm way better than the other laner harras him so he gets anoyed and makes mistakes...farm better than him and then after you get 2x wp items or 2x cp items and 1 defense like aegis start to team up with your team and destroy enemy team...as a carry you cant really do more than this...for carries farm is 85 pct of the game! Do not give up your tower...dont let the enemies scratch it...when facing enemy team cast your ulti from afar by dragging the screen and then focus most vulnerable target...position yourself welll that is most important for laner in a gank! Destroy their tower as fast as possible...when the minion mine is almost full ping your teammates to storm it...this will farm the whole team...if you are particularly strong at one point in the game deny enemies their farm by entering their jungle killing their creeps and killing them....make sure their farm is denied and taken and make sure you take all minion miners...this will have your team way more farmed than the enemy team. Also focus on playijg a single hero until you master it then and only then consider about trying others...carry a potion with you early game if theres a gank or a fight activate it mid gank it helps alot...if you see your junglers play aggresive join them...and be even more aggresive...if you see they are defensive stick to farming alot...never lose a second without farm kill or push or jungle creeps enemy kills...be on a move constantly...post your favorite carries and ill tell ya what items to build. Also I suggest you solo q this way you are more focused on what you do if not find an ultra aggresive and talented roamer that can stay with you lane and make sure you farm well without getting killed!

Do not complain about teammates...if they are aggresive go be aggresive with them...if they are defensive farm and ping them to be more aggresive! but dont complain...improve your gaming...stop looking at how others play, look at yourself

Stick to gwen and koshka only, on koshka build the recommended assassin type and destroy them early...koshka destroys anything early...kill their jungler, enter enemy jungler kill their creeps, take central minion etc. When playing Gwen farm fast the sorrowblade and join ganks with your jungler! Be very aggresive with Gwen, harras the enemh laner alot, farm alot and engage using ulti plus a in the same time on the same hero...when you see hero and ally is close trow card right away and use a...then kill target...

Play only these 2...stop switching...play only gwen and koshka until you master them! Gwen and Koshka works any skill tiers...when playd well! Do not build bow on gwen...its useless in the long run...instead get this build...sorrowblade, tornado, critical plus aegis plus atlas pauldron so you can activate it when alpha focuses ya...if you are uber confident in a match get only aegis and as fourth item buy mask!

I have a build which is quite strong right now, bp, sb , bs , i dont **** koshka as i am more of a defensive player and prefer to gank enemies when they are alone.

Then I am surprised you dont like Ringo since he is in top single target elimination specialists! Late game Ringo destroys any other laner including Bf wich is his counter early-mid game! Ringo can also survive some heavy blows compared to Gwen wich is squishy troughout all the game! But Gwen is a bit more team oriented! Bp does not sinergy very well woth Gwen specs...try replacing it with Tornado Trigger...Bp works better on Ringo since his ability to deal continous damage is enhanced compared to Gwen! Both are very nice laners...but if you want to become a single target elimination specialist you should try to play Ringo...also Ringo has no hard counters...while Gwen has because she is very squishy...bursters destroy Gwen...also stickiness destroy her since her hp is very low! Porbably thats why you have problems with Alpha since Alpha destroys Gwen...in a matter of seconds...whoever you plaay once you become a Gwen specialist you will become unstopable...so stick to her if you like her! Remember just to get aegis and atlas pauldron...atlas will help you alot vs heroes like Alpha...when she jumps on you use aegis just before she lands her b or a and then use atlas...then start to attack her but dont move your ground...move your ground only if theres no ally close...if alpha tries to fight even after you cast atlas use your ulti on her and keep attacking! If you have decent farm and Alpha did not farm both forest or has 2-3-4 levels above you then you might have a chance to kill her!

Also the i preffer to kill the enemy when he/she is alone wont work in high tiers because in high tiers the enemy team rotates non stop and most of the time the enemy bush will have a support right in it waiting to help the enemy laner! You must be prepared to kill in all sorts of conditions...try to learn to position yourself very well...it will help alot...and you must become really aggresive at some poijt because if you are not enemies will feel you are a soft potato and they will start to snowball you...like non stop!

Sorry SA is still full of ******s who play like as if they're new to the game, definitely not talented, and lacking most of the knowledge to win games. I reckon that only players who are POA and above can be considered anything above decent.

For Gwen I think rushing a Tension Bow would be better because it pairs well with her perk and she is able to do a lot of damage in the lane and bully the laner of the enemy team
