The world of ranked is a frightening place!
ITS TERRIFYING [zombie-nunu-bummed]
That might actually be more frightening than being unranked.
The emergency hug, that is.
I love the look on the lizard's eyes
SO rape?
No, that's a hug. https://media.giphy.com/media/WZ1WRkibo8B4k/giphy.gif Get your mind out of the gutter!
Dear lord jesus
In my last placement game (Silver 5- I began playing in mid May this year, cut me some slack :P), we had me locked in as Talon (my main) mid and top switched to Yasuo. Our ADC asks him to play something tanky, but Yasuo locked in. So our ADC gets salty and picks Katarina because "if you get to pick any champ you want so do I". Then Katarina proceeds to take mid from me, so I go bot as Talon...
We won, enemy surrendered. I don't even understand. Sure, their Vayne had a garbage time against a Talon and Yasuo did well, but still.
Went 5/1/4 as botlane Talon that game.
A+ grade
A+?????!!!!! WHAT?!?!!!!??? HOW ARE THERE OTHER BOTLANE TALONS OUTPERFORMING ME?
I'll never understand ranked...
Don't be scared, ranked can't hurt you if you don't believe in it :p
T_T to late
Ah poor child... Least he doesn't know about section 6

I am nonrank and i am scared!
Still better than a certified failure...
I like the way you think
Pls don't go ranked, play LoL for fun and play all the other game modes except ranked. If you play ranked you'll never be the same.
I am Silver and I am lazy
Kind of the same for me. I basically just did my placements on my main account and haven't touched ranked since. Could probably work up to high silver/low gold if I got into it (or so I tell myself...).
once im out of bronze and into silver 5 i just said fuck it better quit while ahead
You aren't even trying to play the game competitively the way it was intended.
Because of your assumptions holding you back, you won't even try anymore. So you are playing LoL like it is a slot machine instead.
You'll always lose if you treat it like a slot machine.
I am Silver and I am lazy
Yeeep, barely do any ranked. I fear for my mental health when i queue up.
I'm unranked and I don't care!
Same here. I'd rather enjoy the game then worry about my bragging rights.
I only play ranked because i'm a trash skin whore that needs the yearly gold exclusive to sate my desires....
Just because you're trash doesn't mean you can't do great things.
It's called garbage CAN, not garbage cannot.
ouuucchhh that made me laugh. xD

need to continue this when squidward looks over at them. Have a Silver Medal above him and have him say scrubs
I just made silver four from my placed bronze four!
AND I AM PROUD!
Pride: Are you? Are you really?
Me: I...I mean it's nice being silver four again
Pride: You mean what you were placed in last season?
Me: Yeah?
Pride: So you are proud of still being as bad as you were last season?
Me: I mean-
Pride: Get gold and only then I will acknowledge you with gifts and a shiny border
Me: BUT IM HAPPY NOW
Pride: YOU NEED MORE! YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPY! NOT IF I CAN HELP IT
sweat, tears, and carpal tunnel in the next episode in Ranked and Spanked, don't touch that Wii-mote!
i don't play and league is meaningless, i am here to save some souls from rito.
I'm a gold but should be challenjour Kappa
I'm only depressed because I have over 4,000 games in silver, yet go nowhere because I can't get consistent teams. Every time I get to gold promos, I get into games where I don't die at all, yet still lose because the rest of my team feeds to all hell (like, the score is 5-30) and lose repeatedly until S5, then start over again.
Honestly, I feel like Riot is purposely matching me with morons when I get to gold promos. T_T
Serious question. Believe in mmr? Anyways, think about it this way, lets say mmr=league IQ. You have lets say 1,500 "iq" Your teammates have 1,495 "iq" Your enemies have 1,500 "iq". Do you really think you deserve to go higher up with that "advantage"? Just improve on yourself, not your teammates Silver is no different than bronze expect the fact silvers are "more" reliable, and they are "less" scared to trade in lane.
As for me I'm gold and I'm noticing the difference between plat and gold and all the big difference is:
More reliable mechanics, Map Awareness, Game knowldege of objective control.
So... Those SMALL things make a player a BIG difference in ranked. Improve your small faults before looking at your teammates. If u had the League "Iq" of a diamond you obviously would NEVER be stuck in silver.
(Figure out the faults of silver players, and improve that on urself. Then figure out the faults of a gold player and fix that upon urself. Then same to plat, diamond. Diamond 5-1 is where it's harder. getting diamond 1 0 lp to 100 lp is harder. figure out what the difference between diamond 1 with 50lp vs 0lp.)
Never play any game to improve your ranking. Improve your playstyle and your ranking will come with you.
See, I play with diamond and plat people, and even they can't 1v5 a fed team.
My issue is not one of mechanics, not one of skill, none of that. My issue is that I refuse to play champs that are basically guaranteed wins, because they just aren't fun for me. Sure, I could play Darius and go 18/2, but that's not really fun. Sure, I could play LB or Kat and go 20/0, but that's not fun. Or I could play Gnar, and go 7/2, lose, but have some fun while doing it.
But when I'm 2/0/1, and bot lane has a combined total of 15 deaths... there's not much I can do.
Go look at my history. Before my latest losing streak, I had a 6:1 average KDA. Yet, even when I lose, I still don't feed like the rest of my team. Nothing I do is going to change the fact that this game is 5v5, not 1v1.

Gnar is more powerful than Darius lmfao.
^This. Gnar counters Darius and scales better in the late game.
Plat is also filled with boosted monkeys. No diff here.
I am a gold noob who wants to be plat by the end of next month... Where can i find that meme??
WE MUST UNITE OURSELVES AS A TEAM TO CLIMB TO GOLD AND KILL EVERYTHING THAT STANDS IN OUR WAY

WE WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE!!!
I am bronze, I have many many many games in bronze, I feel I will always be in bronze, but dammit, I take it seriously and try.
Exhaustive list of things to do in order to carry yourself out of Bronze:
1) Don't play jungle, for you do not understand macro play enough to be effective; 2) Do not play support, for carrying as support is harder than other lanes; 3) Do not play top, for most action in early game is performed around bot, and you will have little impact on it; **4) **Play mid main, adc off role; 5) Play OP champs only. And update that champ list with every patch; **6)**Objectives first, farm second, kills last; 7) Do not go for baron. At any time. Ever; **8) **Play like a bitch; 9) Do not tilt. Seriously. Bronze is so chaotic, you can go 0/23/5 and still win late game since people make stupid decisions.
I agree, you should be proud for that. It's a talent to be bronze.
I'm Silver and lack drive.
This isn't the right way to battle that kind of depression, since it actually attempts to condition our subconsciousness to become proud of something that we're actually not created for.
But, I know one effective way how to overcome. I'll tell it to anybody who wants to know how to do that :)
