  • how much did you improve in comparison to last season/ANYTHING change about your play style?
  • Did you climb to what division you wanted?
  • how did the meta affect your champion pool?
  • what are you going to change for next season?

I'd like to read some** dedicated ranked players** thoughts on this season.


For me, i peaked d5, and ended p1. Basically climbed 1 division in an entire season. My overall winrate on sion went up to 56 percent over 857 games, and i improved my KDA this season.

i dont think this meta favored sion that much, so i dont think i was too affected by a lot. Still had to deal with the broken as fuck tanks and lived through the ardent stuff which is fine i guess. But i'd say overall i improved a lot in terms of finding a play style and ganking a lot more.

i ALSO noticed that i open mid a lot more than i used to. Before i'd play until the death, but this season i've had multiple leaverbusters from open mids. If 1 player goes afk i straight up tell the team to open mid because i don't play 4 v 5's. 4 v 5's were nearly impossible to win this season.


Things im going to change/keep this coming season:

  • -Still going to open mid when team is down 8-10k gold
  • -Going to play sion still but i like ornn a bit more now. I think i'm way better at sion but i like how ornn feels, and theyre visually similar so it doesnt feel so bad.
  • -i'll be dodging a lot more champ selects/looking at opgg of my teammates. Never considered doing that this season and i've lost a lot of games from having obvious boosted/offrole players
  • -level 3 gank top/mid. I think i'm going to try something where i focus on top/mid lane more this season. Tired of the paranoia bot lane gave me this season.

My gameplay improved, but climbing over the trolls, feeders, afk'ers, and just bad players in bronze is damned near impossible.

  1. I expanded my champion pool quite a bit. I went from Morgana to having Ahri Gangplank Leblanc Malzahar Talon Ziggs as fairly comfortable picks as well. I started focusing on counterpicking a lot more too.

  2. Yeah I played my first ~50 games in the plat 1 clusterfuck after ranked reset and lost a bunch. Most of the season I spent practicing new champions on smurfs. After I started playing ranked on my main again ~1 month ago I climbed to diamond almost immediately.

  3. Can't blind pick an assassin LeBlanc in solo queue unless I want to troll vs the bullshit that is double locket, knight's vow, ardent, redemtion, Malzahar, etc.

  4. Already planning on an even bigger champion pool with Viktor Syndra as my focus, Zoe looks like an excellent addition so she might replace one of them.

Every season I am smarter than the last. My champion pool got smaller as I dedicated myself to fewer champions. I did finally manage to climb into platV after being hardstuck in gold for 3 seasons. Next season, I'll probably just become a Bard otp.
