Been ok for too long, would like help getting...

[quote=knight5000]Hey all, I'm ok at the game (at least from my own evaluation) and would like some help just breaking out of the rut I seem to be in. Currently I'm a little rusty at the game, I took a long break (from just around when Lux was released until about a week ago) but it seems like I'm still at an average level. My favorite champions that I own are Gangplank (who I hardly play anymore because I got tired of being hyper-focused), Ezreal, and Kayle(who I play the most). I own plenty more, I just haven't really enjoyed others. My goal is to own Vayne, Caitlyn, Yorick, Leona, Malzahar, and a solid support. I mainly play classic, although I do enjoy dominion, I just seem to be hard pressed to find even matches in that mode. Currently I am level 21, my Summoner Name is SecondStringHero, and any/all advice is appreciated. Thanks for reading, -SecondStringHero[/quote]

[quote=mastajdog]as a level 30 person who slightly suffers from the same problem... here's what helped me gain a lot-take an off-tank. if you think you're better than your elo, an off-tank (cho's great at this) will help you tons. why?-they provide all the soaking they need. you can't count on that alistar to build tank, he might go 6 pd's for all you know. you have to take the damage. second-crowd control-most off-tanks have it. you need it, and if it's a skillshot/aoe, don't count on your team to land it. finally, kills. if it's like i was at level 15, i build tank items for ashe becausei kept dying. you gotta be able to take the team yourself. an off-tank's teh best champ for that. anybody else who can help more, i'd appriciate it as well.[/quote]

[quote=knight5000]I will have to try that. I actually own cho and haven't played him yet. Thanks for the tip![/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]What he said.[/quote]

[quote=knight5000]So cho is good for it, but who else? There isn't an off-tank category in the interface ^-^[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]olaf sion cho anything that can use atmogg's etc[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]IRELIA! ooh god is irelia good at off-tanking!!![/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]ye ^[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000][quote=knight5000] So cho is good for it, but who else? There isn't an off-tank category in the interface ^-^ [/quote] Off the top of my head that other people haven't already mentioned, there's: [[Udyr]] [[Gangplank]] [[Lee Sin]] [[Skarner]] [[Warwick]][/quote]

[quote=knight5000]Volibear too, I would think. I think my biggest issue is gold. I always seem to earn the least among my team if not the game, no matter how much I farm. I either get shut down early game or KS'ed throughout mid-game and wind up so far behind on items I can't keep up with the enemy team.[/quote]
