hey guys, lately im kind of frustrated by my progression in the game and i would like for some of you to share your tips if you have.. so i main mid (my favorite lane by far) as orianna/lissandra, adc as ashe and support sona/zyra. now i am not very good at jungling and the top lane cause i didnt play it much, and i need to start playing those lanes for ranked games. top lane is an issue for me cause i really really dont like that lane, i dont like the top lane's champions playstyle, i dont like how snowbally the lane is (for example the mid lane - if i die to kat first it doesnt mean anything about if i lost or won the lane, while in top lane its like - game over and its very hard to come back from that without a really good gank. so, anyways - i started playing jungle a lost so i could fill that role in ranked, i tried many champions, while i liked udyr the most, i really struggle with that role when mid game comes. i feel like for example udyr was designed that by mid game is role is to just splitpush, cause in teamfights i feel pretty weak (1v1 udyr ofc is verry strong), and thats the stage where i start dying a lot. so i just dont know if im just bad in the jungler role or should i just keep on practicing it? or you guys tell me if i play udyr wrong in mid game or maybe recommand me a champ that has a really strong teamfighting precence while being still strong early game? i feel like im not making a progress =

Okay, first off you don't need to be good at every role to climb in ranked. You should have a basic understanding and respect for each one though. I did almost all of my climbing from the jungle on a very small amount of champions. If you want to play top and jungle because u might get stuck in those roles, pick champions that are relatively safe and easy and hope ur team can pick up ur slack. Hopefully uve told them ur not strong in those lanes, but u should not feel obligated to be as good at jungle and top as u are at mid. And to be completely honest, Lissandra can top quite well too, and to some degree even jungle.

You don't have to be good at every role to climb ranked. Diamond is full of one trick ponies, and we're about to have a new ranked queue that lets you queue for 2 roles of your choice (and since one of yours is supp, your queues won't be long).

Riot made lol as a sport. you only need to have 2 roles now in ranked. Because it is a sport, you don't need to know anything other than 2 roles. pick your 2 best and play the champions that riot wants to win games. If you do anything else you are not competing in the sport right. This isnt a game its an ESPORT, its only for the real winners.
