Annie is the closest you own to an easy to play ranged assassin
You could try Ekko out, I guess?
So it's been a few weeks since I climbed out of the hell that was Gold 5. Now I'm just stuck at Gold 3... I've had numerous instances where I drop into Gold 4 but instantly get back into 3 and I keep losing games in Gold 3. Some my fault and some just into dumb luck. Anything I can do to help increases my chances. Perhaps I'm not doing something in this rank that I haven't caught onto yet?

Your picks rely a lot on snowballing to be effective so if you do bad you're boned. Maybe diversify your champ pool a bit? I dunno
Any recommendations?
Thanks for your input -- Phylol is definitely a model for me when I'm developing content. He's really great.

That's a hard one, are you looking for more utility or bruisers with similar playstyles to yours?
You could give Olaf, Trundle or Irelia a spin and if anything there's always GP, Gnar and Ekko

play Swain
cool champ you can flex mid and top and has a laning phase that's pretty hard to fuck up.

eeeeeehhhhhh
swain is pretty easy to fuck up in my experience. (both to fuck up playing by missing roots and to get fucked up by high damage/bursty tops)

thats true for any champion tho
A good swain will rekt anyone
A bad swain won't
edit-Riven is like his best match up, she's so easy to predict

Maybe learn some low economy top laners? Those champs that even if they fail, they still have a use for their team like gnar, malphite, maokai, rumble and just tanks in general or those that have good initiations.
What's the biggest slide that everyone's had in terms of going down ranks? 2 seasons ago panda and I climbed from gold 5 to gold 1,then I slid all the way from plat promos down to gold 5 0 lp in like a week. That was the worst feeling ever. I still managed to climb back up and get plat in the post season but man that drop was so awful

I think I have never dropped in rank before. I've been to 0 lp multiple times tho.
The buff last patch made him really good and a large amount of youtubers predicting he will be strong this patch. That and the carry top meta is going on.

Why would I use it over any other Fiora skin
She should have been spoopier like Bloodstone Taric

that's fair, but I don't think it's bad. I would use Headmistress, Project and Pool Party over both tho.
Man. We got two Fiora skins in the last year post-rework. Before that the last one was Headmistress in 2012
need more
yeah i'd buy a skin for him but i don't like high noon at all

real talk tho, he's still weak as fuck to ganks and burst so you really have to be diligent about warding. good thing about Jayce is that he can still do a lot of damage in team fights with just levels and basic items and his transition into late game is better. I actually had someone ask me to pick my Jayce yesterday. that's when you know the champ is back.
I would. He still has a silence, can press a button to get tanky and an high-damage execute. That's basically the definition of being able to be useful while behind in League of Legends.
Never played him. which of those 3 categories do you think he fits in? I've never seen a Sion do well after falling behind in his lane. Not once. I've seen plenty win their lane or break even and dominate later. But actually lose it? Like, start 0/4 and be behind in farm and come back and do work? I ain't seen it, but I can see his CC being useful at all stages of the game.

Yes, he is. Also, fuck Malphite. It literally always feels like bullshit when you lose to him.

I haven't heard anyone talk shit about malphite since I placed into Bronze I in season 3

That's because nobody with a soul actually picks him.
Top Malphite is the driest, most soul-sucking top lane experience this side of top Lulu when that was a thing.
