Xuto·Jul 12, 2018·1 votes·899 views

SO i just did my first ever ranked game. I felt a huge difference from the regular draft games i usually do...

I am a support main btw. I am not quiting ranked but this was extremely stressful...

This are the champions i can play at an okay level:

I am trying to pick 2 or 3 for rank only. Which ones would you think its a good combination?

Also any tips to improve in ranked would be nice :)

Please understand i want to improve in this game, all the help is apreciated.

Hey their, here are some tips:

Try to limit your champion pool: So many champions to pick from and you want to play them all. However this attitude you will have a hard time bronze/silver and ones your in gold you pretty much burned yourself dry. What I recommand is that you have tried to play every champion add least ones in normal so you known what they can do. However for ranked you should limited yourself with just 1 main champion. You should master it so you known every matchup and you known what todo when your behind or ahead in a game. Until plat or higher you really don't need more than just one champion. Try to have a backup incase your champion get's banned but really don't have to force anything. Just enouge is enouge to climb.
Watch youtube videos/twitch: This sometimes provide information that can be intressting or helpfull for in your games. For Morgana is actually have a recent example.
Watch your own games: Try to rewatch the entire ranked game you just lost. Rewatching a game will help you figuring out your own mistakes and also helps predicting jungle paterns. For example if you known the enemy jungler starts botside. He will probally gank top/mid arround the 2/3 minute mark. So unless something happends he will be arround botside again arround 5 minutes. Just stuff like that.
Other: Just something extra, I recently made a support overview list that I planned to turn into a guide. Saidly I didn't have time yet to work on it yet. But maybe it can help.

Obviously you dont need too much champions at least at the start. Choose one tank (Braum is perfect), one healer (i would recomment Soraka since you are still low elo she is the perfect support carry) one dmg dealer (Brand or Fiddle both are amazing right now) maybe one hooker would be good too but its your choice. Then try to not chat with negatvie players, its never helping. And you are ready to go and climb the leader. GL :)
