PSA to everyone trying to climb

Don't just go with the FoTM champions. Yes, they're strong, but if you just float around and play what's strong, rarely do you ever actually develop skill and get good with any of those champions. You end up playing sub-par compared to playing a tier-2 champion of the same role that you play a lot and have mastered.

Let's say season 5 you played a lot of Sivir. You got REALLY good and you feel comfortable playing her in every situation. But, wait, isn't Corki, MF, and Graves a stronger pick? Why not go with them, champions you've hardly touched until now, instead of my tier-3 adc main?

Don't. Any champion can be completely broken and un-killable if you play them well enough.

_"Taric is really weak" _ So then why do Taric mains go 10-2-5 in almost every game?

"Dude don't play Sejuani jungle, play Udyr instead, he has a 60% win rate" Why do that when you have 200k mastery points into Sejuani, and you've played Udyr maybe once or twice ~~ and don't even have the best skin~~?

Don't let other people bully you and force you into playing champions you're not familiar with just because they're FoTM, and don't try to be a follower and play champions you've never touched. Don't ruin your Ranked games trying to be in the "flow" of things.

Play what you're good at and play it well -- to your fullest. Don't be a follower, show everyone how sleeper OP your LvL 5 Urgot gameplay is.
