Hi everyone, I need some advice. I’ve been stuck in a loop between Gold 3 and Gold 4 for about a month and a half. I climb to Gold 3 with a bit of LP, then I go on a losing streak, drop back to Gold 4, climb again… and repeat endlessly.

My LP gains also changed a lot:
I used to get +25 LP per win and lose -15 LP.
Now I win +19 LP and lose -20 LP.
My winrate dropped from 70% to 52%.

I mainly play Ashe. Yesterday I had a game that perfectly represents my problem, here’s the screenshot:

The issue is: how am I supposed to win when my team doesn’t follow up or help?
In that match, two things kept happening:

  • Even when we won teamfights, Malphite and Renekton would chase the last surviving enemy (often mel) and die for no reason.
  • They also split randomly (one top, one bot) instead of helping me push when we had pressure.

But the biggest problem was Rengar.
The entire game he would ult, dive under tower alone, and die.
He took 0 objectives.
Whenever objectives spawned, he went to farm instead.

We lost 4 dragons, got 0.
The enemy team took Herald, 2 Barons, and 2 Elder Dragons.
We had no way to contest because Rengar was either farming or dead from going 1v5.

What could I have done in a game like this?
I’ve been getting tons of matches like this lately and I feel stuck.

Hi everyone, I’m a new Ashe player.

What do you think about my build?

Start: Doran’s Blade

First item: Kraken Slayer

I never liked Hexoptics as an item, and I still don’t really understand when it’s worth building Yun Tal.

Boots: Berserker’s Greaves

Second item: Phantom Dancer

Third item: Lord Dominik’s Regards if I’m against many tanks

If I’m winning lane really hard and there are no fed tanks, Infinity Edge

Fourth item: Runaan’s Hurricane or Blade of the Ruined King if the enemy team has tanks or high‑mobility champions, and if I need some lifesteal; or Mercury Treads if there’s a lot of CC

Fifth item: Runaan’s or Blade of the Ruined King

Sixth item: Infinity Edge or Bloodthirster

Do you have any advice or help?
