Lonely player looking for optomistic, casual, SR team

Jivira·6/29/2014, 10:05:36 PM·2 votes·995 views

Experienced player looking for a team to play join. I typically play Mid or Support. I also feel strong in ADC role. Jungle I can play with the right team on a few champions, but struggle with counter jungling. Top I play only rarely, mostly to check whether I'm still terrible at it. My only recent success top was a game or two with Karma.

I used to play with a mostly Normal queue 5 man team that was great at late game comebacks and all-in teamfight plays where our commitment would leave a few members alive to clean up for a win.

Last season I reached Silver using Solo Queue. I always try to communicate with my team and rely on other players to be filling their role. The lack of supportiveness found in solo queues is starting to get to me, so I am hoping there is a cheerful group out there looking for a new player (or a new friend).

I am a quiet individual that likes to play computer games with friends and family. When playing I try to look for a way to win instead of immediately giving up when my team is behind. Winning when you were down at the start is rewarding and well worth sitting through a few rough defeats. My drive to improve leaves me itching for another game after a loss, so I sometimes keep re-queuing for the night until I get a positive ending win. That said, I do work in the morning during the week, so I like to play early evening and weekends.

Champions I might pick for:

Mid: Karma Malzahar Kassadin Katarina Zyra Yasuo-(need practice) Kennen LeBlanc Lissandra Morgana Lux Vel'Koz Orianna

Support: Karma Leona Sona Braum-(if I can get some more practice) Zyra Morgana Soraka Thresh Nami Lulu

ADC: Lucian Jinx Miss Fortune Caitlyn Quinn Twitch-(would need practice) Varus Vayne

Jungle: Diana Maokai Shyvana Vi Udyr Volibear Fiddlesticks Amumu

Top(if I must): Karma Gangplank Jax Riven Singed Shen Kayle Nocturne

I'm have most if not all of the champions and I try to provide whatever the team needs, so I'd often trying new champions to see how they play or if they work better than my current favorites. (Karma, Yasuo, Lucian, Jinx, Malzahar, Caitlyn, Maokai, Morgana, Zyra, Sona, Kassadin have been some of my top played outside ARAM lately.)

Hi!

No offense, but you're acting submissive. I've been keeping an eye on this post, and noticed that no one's come by. I do, truly, believe that it's because you lead with the word "lonely." Do you ever wonder why all those popular kids in high school were, in fact, popular? It's all in the confidence. Seriously, I suck massive monkey balls when it comes to holding conversations, and practically sh^t my pants when it comes to cold approaching a girl who I find attractive. That being said, I haven't not had a girlfriend, for any length of time longer than 1 month, for 5 years now. I never understood why, I mean, the only thing I can talk about is nerd culture. But, oh man, when you get me talking, I'm confident as hell. I never realised it, though, until my most recent ex. She had no confidence in herself after the first year. She became totally submissive, and that turned me away from her. It took seeing someone with the same flaw I had, for me to realize what I was doing wrong.

It sounds like you're knowledgeable, and hell, you've gotten farther than I have in ranked, so I'll give you skilled. Be proud of that. This is not an easy game to be truly good at. Bring that confidence to the table, and others will come to you. Leading with "lonely" and, further mentioning that you're quiet, tends to make others feel like they're going to have to lead you. People like to be friends with their equals. Not their superiors, not their inferiors. You're on their level, just make it sound like you believe it too.

To address the actual post though, I'm sorry, but I've pretty much washed my hands of this game until some major changes have been made to reduce AFK's and community toxicity. Just win of the day's for me right now. Still on the forums, since I do really enjoy the game. Keeping my knowledge sharp is fun for me still. Good luck finding a group, though. You're good at this game, keep it up.

I agree with him, get some courage about yourself. But to the point of your post, we actually need a mid player and I would love to have you on,, I'll bring it up with my team. Add me and I'll make sure to message you. Note: we have a good support, a pretty damn good adc. a fantastic top laner and me, I have my ups and downs but I am working on my consistency and as long as I have decent lanes, I can usually lead a team (I call a lot of the shots)to a W. We're a work in progress but we hit SV on our first provis ever, so I'd say we could go places. item 3143 stay strong

Hey, if you want someone to casually play with with other people feel free to add me. I also like to experiment with the lane that i play in just to try something new out for the fun of it. (I can do almost any roll but support because of how terrible I am at it)

@thefifeman While I agree that my title is a bit submissive, that was lead mostly through my mood when I wrote this. Bad round of Solo Queue teams and I decided I needed to do something about it...

That said, I believe in my passivity. I honestly dislike taking assertiveness and even confidence as far as our culture tots it. I do want to work on my confidence, but you'll find I speak up and lead just fine when I want to. I just don't really like doing so most of the time. This world could do with fewer people convinced they are in the right... i.e. The Solo Queuers we love to hate :)

Sorry to hear the Solo Queue experience has soured your game to such a degree. I sometimes have to take a break myself. A part of that is why I made the post. I used to have a full five man group to work with, when we had to fill a spot or two it was much easier to deal with the toxicity. Even when I would Solo Queue it was easier to ignore the raging masses since I knew I didn't have to deal with them all the time.

@The Spyd3r Thanks, I'll add you. If nothing else I'd love to join a few games. If you feel I do well enough, I may serve you better than a random Solo Queue add at the least :)

Generally I manage fine if I'm talking directly to people, it's addressing unknown masses that isn't my strong suit. Strangers are fine as long as I don't try to talk myself into trying to talk to them.
