Using OP.gg for Self Improvement
I've never been a really huge ranked player, though I've always thought I could make Gold if I tried. Well, last season, I tried, got to the promos with only a couple of losses, and had 3 straight games of people running down mid from minute 1 for no apparent reason.
This season, I did my promos, got placed in silver 3, and climbed up to silver 2 no problem. Then, that's when I started to hit a bit of a wall. Any time I played ranked, it would be a good game and then a bad game, and I was pretty stagnant with my rating.
I decided to take a look at my stats over on op.gg, and I saw that my Taric, who has since his rework been my go-to when I was autofilled to support, was actually my highest win rate, with 3 wins in 4 games. So, I tried playing him in a game last night. We won. 2 more wins added in today, and now my win rate on him is 86%, 6 wins, 1 loss. Hopefully I'm on my way to gold with the Gem Knight turned Aspect of Targon. And now I also know to stop playing ADC. Seriously, jeez, 6 losses and 2 wins on Jinx, 3 losses and 1 win on Twitch, not worth it. For the time being, I'll be queueing as Support/Jungle rather than the Jungle/Bot that I usually do and just seeing how that goes. So far, it's been going pretty well.
