Unranked & Need Advice....

Sensual NyoTengu··1 votes·555 views

So i did 5 games for my placement matches so far (Did them a few months ago) & i took a break cuz i was dissapointed about losing all 5 so far.....i've been feeling down since then trying to better myself & even tried to play with others to get better. I still lack confidence. Like losing crushed my spirit. idk. What killed me on those 5 games were my teammates. Either the enemy team tilted my teammates & they quit or they decided to argue against each other to the point of throwing the game. And it sucks that it happened all 5 games weird enough. Idk what to do. I mean recently i had a plat player tell me to just mute the chat & just play. (Haven't played ranked since then but willing to try it when i do play again in a couple of days) But is there any advice on how to be decent in my placements? Someone said i still have a chance to be silver which would be awesome but i feel like i will be a low bronze. If anybody has any tips for ranked for me, please let me know. I main supp. And ADC is a secondary for me. I can otp with annie mid if i have to but still.....idk what to do. Idk what lane is good for ranked either for someone like me. If anybody can help, that would be helpful.

Thanks.

You have to go 2-8 or 1-9 to get low bronze. I had friends go 0-10 and still get bronze 4. I personally when 2-8 and got Bronze 2 back in season 3.

The muting thing is SO important. You also need to turn off all chat. It serves NO purpose in ranked.

Make sure all your runes are set up nicely, it helps so much. I worked my way up from Bronze by played almost exclusively support, so its possible for sure. I would suggest hard carry support to learn, such as Zyra, Brand, Blitz, and Leona, and yes even Annie. Thresh is also good, but if he's way harder to learn, and you need teammates to actually follow up. Soraka too but preferably if you duo'd/trio'd with people that can carry, and you time your ulti right.

Best of luck, let me know if you have anymore questions :)

You're more than likely going to get bronze or low silver at that rate its safe to assume no offense. It doesnt mean anything bad but the games you win out of your placements is a win percentage out of 5 you're at 0%. I was like that this season(its my first) but first time placements can get you from bronze-plat. So what they do is test you vs plats/golds/silvers/bronze to find your elo and then you get it. If you win 3 or so and get s5 its safe to assume you'll demote. Naturally you can either spam games in hopes to climb and probably never climb or get advice,watch replays,watch videos,streamers,actually learn the game(not just how to right click towers) and you'll climb.

support sucks for placements, I went 9-1 playing support and got S4, I was gold the last 2 seasons. now things might have changed cause now scoring on supports is not as bad as it used to be. however even in ranked games is harder to move up as support vs other roles as its harder to carry in and rely on your team-mates a lot more.

my advice is to play a carry role for your placements atleast.

Just play how you normally would. Ignore your teammates if they flame you. Eventually ranked starts to feel like just a normal game and you start to climb!
