Drafting in low ELO ranked

Please step your game up. You're not Boxbox, Yassuo, or anywhere near the skill level of the high ELO one tricks. Learn other champions and help your team draft a comp that can actually win a game. It's super frustrating to lose a game based on draft alone and it seems to happen to me a lot. We crush the early game then get stomped in the late game.

I'm not perfect, I have bad games, I am aware I am also in low ELO.

I do try my best to pick a support that will best match with the team, especially in ranked.

Sure, it's not always fun to pick a champ just to counter pick another or because the team needs a tank top and you really want to play a carry top. I just had to endure an ardent meta where if I wasn't playing a shielding/healing champ that couldn't take advantage of that I was likely losing my lane.

If you only play one or two champs, practice others. Take advantage of norms. Not every game you play has to be ranked. I play a lot of ARAM to help expand my champ pool and learn what the other champs do and I still have over 300 solo ranked games played this year.

Nothing feels worse than losing a game because someone picks something super bad for the team comp because that's all they really know how to play. Whats worse is these people are often times super toxic and will tilt the rest of the team especially if they get smashed in lane.

IDK I'm pretty salty right now, just venting my frustrations. [sg-shisa]

You are aware that lots of people in low ELOs don't have the champ pool nor game knowledge to do what you ask.

I peaked at g2 this season and I only have a few champs I'm good with.

Primary top and second jg.

Good with Nasus, Yorick and Maokai for top.

JG I'm best with Maokai, and Skarner. Use to play a lot of Hec but he aint too strong atm, might be better next season.

Absolutely suck at ADC and support. and I'm decent mid.

Good with Kass, and trying to get better with Ryze.

Really only have like 6 champs I'm good with. But depending on my role I try to pick the best champ for what our team needs out of the few I am good with.

I just don't have enough time to learn a lot of champs.
