Ranked 5s: an idea for your consideration

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to form a ranked 5s team. Yeah, yeah, I know, who isn't? Well I'm not just looking to form ANY ranked team. I'm looking to form a great ranked team. What's the difference? Teamwork. It's not just another match with friends, it's a battle between warriors who have chosen a side. The way to win isn't just to have the best QWER combo. That can help but the real matters are: do you focus on objectives, do you fight on favorable ground, do you pick the right team comp? Those things are important.

But the best and greatest ability that will help you achieve victory is to always seek to IMPROVE. This ranked 5s team will be one where criticism of game play is not a bad thing because you will present it in a constructive manner. People who are negative or abusive in general will not be allowed. But people who genuinely wish to offer advice will be prioritized. At all levels of the game there are things we can all improve at: why do you think Dyrus is so good? He is constantly criticizing his own play. You don't have to be in gold or platinum to be on this team. In fact after you check my Lolking, players with the wrong attitude will wean themselves out.

So the ideal players for this team are people who have some innate skills and talents, but more so they will be able to set their ego aside and say "I may have done something wrong" or "I might not have to right tactic there" and afterwords say, ask, suggest, or consider what they could have done differently. This is a team that will take this fundamental LIFE skill and impress it upon League of Legends game play.

Except in extreme circumstances, I will only accept players who are 18 years of age or older. Friendly banter and jokes and sarcasm will be acceptable but if they get in the way of team functioning and synergy they will be discouraged. This team should be willing to practice regularly over a period of time. I should imagine within three months true warriors will be able to carve themselves into an elite fighting squad. I am looking for all 5 roles and one or two alternates per role. Having ten people on the team will make practice easier and using different line ups will help create a change of pace.

This is a blue print, a rough sketch, an outline. Please bring your ideas to the table. But overall just remember to leave your ego at the door, and be respectful to other people's ideas. Please consider applying to the squad and helping to contribute to a new idea: a school of war for League, a dojo that meets on summoners rift.

Thank you for your time, please message me in game "LeagueWraith" or message me on twitch where my handle is also LeagueWraith.

As I said, expect a two to three month training period where we work on our game. The best things in life take time to perfect.

Sincerely, LW
