advice for ranked?

Whatevsman97·12/13/2015, 7:52:38 AM·1 votes·416 views

I find my experiences in ranked to be... less than enjoyable a good 75-80% of the time. A lot of the games I've lost stem from falling behind, people arguing and a lack of moral.

And I'll admit, I haven't done much to help. I've found myself at odds with one of my teammates, usually ending in a mute from either side. And then I find myself tilted and it seems to go downhill from there.

And its not just that, I also find myself dreading being in first pick. Because I am constantly worrying about who I ban. I know, I know, "Jax and Mundo" since they're major annoyances rn. But then I'm stumped after that. I ask my team who to ban, and no one responds. And while I'm tempted to just band a random champ, I know that odds are, I'mma screw that up and ban someone who really wasn't worth it.

I also have trouble reading whether or not we still have a chance t winning when we're at a defecit. And even when I do grasp it, I have no idea how to really act on it efficiently.

I am willing to forgo every feeling i have towards surrender in general, and actually learn something. I want to get better at this, and if that means I gotta make some changes, I will. So yeah, any advice anyone has, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

just keep playing. you start getting a sixth sense about banning. Based on who the opponent bans, you can kind of figure out what they will be trying to play sometimes, and you can ban their intended champion sometimes. Knowing how to play any lane or position effectively is valuable in solo queue as well.

From my experiences getting ahead and playing smart will keep you ahead. Try to get 7-8 cs a minute, always ward, and always be aware of what is going on in the mini-map.

Outfarming is very important, as the extra gold creates a noticeable difference.

play easy champions and work on the basics all you need to get to d5. bans dont matter in low elo, neither do the picks all that matters is that you keep getting better and doing all that you can to win the game. Never blame teammates either I get friends blaming games where if I was them I wouldnt missplay like say he did and carry the game.You can almost carry every single game as long as someones not intentionally feeding or trolling you could have done something better to win the game. And play easy champs because you would be high elo if you had the mechanics to play hard skill shot ones. It also allows you to think more about the game and learning instead of focusing on how to play and position your champion.

MUTE EVERYONE.

Ask your team who to ban for all 3 and then mute everyone. Should decrease the tilt.

If you have a really tough early game, try to contain the damage so you don't fall too far behind. Your job isn't to carry, just to stop the bleeding. Once your team starts to group, work around the person on your team who's doing the best.
