IGN: Mylon Requiem Role: MID Rank: Platinum II [http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Mylon+Requiem Top 5 champs for that role: Leblanc Azir Viktor Lissandra Vladimir -**

Strengths:

  • Immense Game Knowledge ~ studied competitive play, strictly Korea for 3+ years
  • Immunity to Tilt ~ able to mentally adapt to poor circumstances and play progressively better over the course of a game
  • Vocal ~_Understanding of team compositions, win conditions, power spikes/troughs, and ability to facilitate good decision-making from teammates _

Weaknesses:

  • Polarizing Personality ~ my passion for the game, desire to win, and aggressive, critical mindset has disagreed with many of my teammates in the past, and so I am working on getting along better with others and not driving others to conflict
  • Tech Issues ~ Currently troubleshooting crashing issues with computer; problem is inconsistent and random, so my match history is often filled with bot/custom games testing its stability -**

Availability: ** 6 PM - 11 PM Eastern Standard Time | Flexible**

Prior Ranked 5s experience: Sparse experiences on Gold/Plat ranked teams participating in scrims and tournaments; Often invited to Ranked 5's with friends/streamers, and so relatively accustomed to the environment of following calls and making them myself

Thoughts on criticism: In my opinion, criticism IN A TEAM ENVIRONMENT should be mostly reserved to post-game, with everyone treating each other as equals in-game regardless of rank and trying to shrug off misplays by proactively adapting to the game and not focusing on mistakes in hindsight but rather preventing them later.

Furthermore, I have no particular issue with accepting criticism from others when it is warranted, but I think there is a time and place for it, and it's not usually helpful in reducing mistakes by constantly calling them out in a team environment, as this is best left to a 3rd party unrelated to the outcome who can have an objective understanding of what's happening (i.e. the coach).

Why I should choose you: I'm punctual and honest (will be there for scheduled scrims/tournament matches, will be open and direct about opinions and availability), I'm emotionally mature and by most standards of those who know me, intelligent and thoughtful. I know the game very well, enjoy it quite a bit, and want others to feel the same way. Anything I think I know well that someone else might lack I am perfectly willing and capable to impart to them. I greatly appreciate the value of teamwork and bonding with my fellow players, and look forward to dedicating myself to whosoever is willing to do the same with me.

Sariat17/5/2016, 8:15:03 PM1 votes

Ign: Sariat1 Role: Mid Rank: Plat 4 Top 5 champs for that role: Velkoz Anivia TwistedFate Azir Lux Strengths: Strong CS, Positioning, Midgame Rotating, Shotcalling. I specialize in Pick and Poke Mages. Weaknesses: I play very passive in the early game, forget to place pink wards I buy, I don't like making flashy plays, and I rely on others to make engages in fights. Availability: Most days after 6PM EST Prior Ranked 5s experience: None in League, But I used to play in a team in the MOBA Strife in tournaments. Thoughts on criticism: Criticism is acknowledging that you did something wrong, and whether it is from someone else or yourself, and it is the only way to improve skills. However, proper criticism can never be delivered effectively "in the heat of the moment," it requires thinking, and is not just a reaction. Why I should choose you: From a short background in casting games, I have learned to analyze both macro and micro level play very quickly. I can understand strategies given only a few pieces of information, and I am able to conceptualize almost any mechanic and strategy, even if I am unable to execute it yet. I analyze all my opponents and teammates to look for patterns and behaviors. I learn very quickly and very rarely tilt: I'll always make the same quality of plays and decisions, even if I get upset. I never give up or surrender, and I believe that there is more dignity in losing than there is in surrendering.
