You want to get better... play on some 800 Ping then get some good internet again.

Hughesnet is unplayable. I had just got some new Internet, some 'Cell Tower' internet... and when it wasn't DC I was in the 85-200 range. Mostly 125, which is fine (not the 35 I was used to, but alas.

I remember going from 200 Ping to 35... it was like seeing the future. Screwed up my last hitting for a few hours as I would strike to soon, expecting the delay.

Matt made it on Hawaii Servers to the LCS, says he was rocking a steady 400 Ping... and I believe him. As long as it isn't screen jumping, it's really just a delay (which matters, of course... takes out 'reaction' but makes you 'anticipate' more). Now, I'm no Matt, I'm just some Bronze Scrub Lord, but that dude made it to Challenger and was found by an NA LCS Team with 400 Ping.

I went 11-7 in Ranked the last two days with either the risk of spiking to 2K+ Ping and having to Reset (the bad) or a steady 125-200 range Ping that let me get through the entire game. I had some really good games in that span, and as expected bit a few. Most of my games were steady at the least.

Sadly, it's back to Hughesnet (these guys wanted $500 up front to keep the Cell Tower stuff, and the DC's were getting frustrating though the Ping was decent enough to play and move up on)... so no more ranked at the House anymore.

But seriously, working on a Higher Ping will force you to anticipate and when you get to a 'Real Ping' you'll be much improved for it.

Worked for Matt, anyways. :P

I know what you mean. I used to play on 120 ish ping until the servers moves and now I'm at 50 ish ping. It's great

Dynamic cancer is making me not want to play just because I've always been a solo ranked player. Might be the first time I don't hit gold since season 3. So sad

I don't see much difference in Solo and Dynamic Q to be honest. The only difference that gets me upset is there are more AFK teammates and games than before. Most of the time the two Duo Q players are in the same house and once their internet goes out thunderstorm power outage etc, their both eliminated and DC and AFK etc.
what I'm trying to get at is you CAN'T tell anyone what to do or how to play nothing 4 randoms on a team and you or 2 randoms and 2 duo Q players and yourself on a team. Its still " solo Q" where the only person that you can rely on is yourself.
If your talking about the two or three dynamic team on your team rages and flames on you or that 1 other random or how many randoms on the team 1-2 and NEVER themselves just gotta mute everyone. I find I win more games muting EVERYONE the enemy team my team EVERYONE, I find no reason to not mute them, your not there playing ranked to have a conversation with anyone and can't think of the last time someone said anything that was remotely positive and made any sense to have them not muted.
Just do what you are doing Silver 1 right now for you and that is very impressive just keep on keeping on is all I can say.
