Wait to do your provisionals!!!
Wait for the trolls to leave! I made the mistake of going straight into my provisionals once I had the chance! I won my first game with a great team, very nice and helpful. I expect the same treatment the second provisional. But, this is League, and alas, that cannot happen. Last pick insta locked Syndra top with Clairvoyance and Smite. I wasn't horribly worried at first, she was going against Nasus, so in all reality it shouldn't of been bad. Oh god how wrong I was. She really didn't have a bad score at all, but she never set foot in top lane, she roamed the entire game and let Nasus free farm and in turn it was our downfall. So I have now won 1 and lost 1 provisional. My advice to all of you who want to be fools like myself. Wait, just wait to do your provisionals until all of the Clairvoyance and Smite wielding Syndras decide they have had enough fun doing whatever it is they do.
