Before you start ranked you should
- Build a decent champion pool of 4 champions per each role you want to main, and then get good at 1 or 2 supports (for autofill) OR get really, really good at one champion (this is called being a one trick pony)
- Make sure you understand objectives, and which ones are worth taking/sacrificing
- Yes, fill out those rune pages. ALWAYS assume that whoever you're going against in ranked already has fully stacked T3 runes
- LEARN THE IMPORTANCE OF FARM. It CANNOT be understated, Farm > Kills.
- Know how to play from behind. You're going to be the first to get killed in lane sometimes. That is always going to be a possibility. The important thing is to know how to bounce back. NEVER try to get a revenge kill. DO try to get a kill that presents itself to you. Capitalize on mistakes, don't try to force it.
There's a lot more to learn, but once you have all of these down, you can pick up the rest as you go
just avoid ranked until you feel like you have more game knowledge the main thing you do not want to do is going into ranked and getting bronze this early because it will affect all of your other placements for other seasons
When you know what every champion does, have all runes, are good with a couple champions in every role (so you understand each role and can play any in case of autofill), and you know the match ups against your main really well.
Also realize your first 10 games will probably be mostly loses as you're starting with no mmr and you could be matched with golds.
Whenever you feel like it.
when you can play at least 3-4 roles moderately well and have rune pages finished. don't need to be fancy rune pages either just basic ap/ad ones work fine
When you build according to what's happening, have all champs unlocked so you can trade anyone (strategy starts in champ select), have mastered at least 2 champs in every role. When you realize that you should pick to compliment the team, instead of just who you want to play as.
Then wait another year.
When you've played 600 or more normal games.
