LF Top and Jungle for Ranked 5's. Prefer Silver.

Lord Knoxx·10/22/2014, 11:45:04 PM·1 votes·792 views

As the title says, we're looking for a jungle and top lane for a Ranked 5's team. The team currently consists of myself at ADC and two of my friends playing mid and support. Our main purpose of the team is to improve our team work and knowledge of the game by playing consistently with others who have the same goal. Hopefully we will be able to have a 5's team playing at a Gold level or even higher if things really start to click with the group. For fun, we would also like to play in some of the low ELO tournaments that are available within the community.

Our tentative practice schedule right now is Friday and Saturday nights from 8pm to 1am EST. There is some flexibility in the timing and days, but if you know for sure you can't consistently play these nights, then this probably isn't the team for you. We want consistent members who can show up regularly because a team without consistent membership is going to accomplish nothing. There will also be the opportunity for unscheduled practices if everyone is able to play on an unscheduled night. We're only asking for two nights a week since everyone is usually busy with life and anything more than two is generally unreasonable.

Finally, we are all slightly older than many players (22+), but this doesn't mean we are going to reject anyone because of age. However, we do prefer that you are able to bring some serious to the table and be mature about criticism. Eventually, there will come a time that someone on the team will get irritated about a couple losses and have an outburst. Being able to recognize it, do what you have to do to calm down, and admit to mistakes made during the emotional outburst are all key to developing as a team. Everyone, including myself and my friends, are all held to this standard. We all have the same goal of improving and we should keep that in mind when things get rough.

Now that all of that is out of the way, it's time to know about you! Just fill out this small app and leave it in the comments! I'll put my own information in the app. Just copy, paste, and delete my answers.

Do you have a mic?: Yes.

Voice Chat Available: Skype, Vent, Raid Call, Team Speak

Position: ADC

Top 3 Champs: Caitlyn, Lucian, Corki

3 Champs you would like to improve with: Draven, Kog'Maw, Ezreal

Why should we want you?: I'm creating the team. That's why! I'm also wanting to play ranked 5's to get away from the solo queue grind and play with some people looking to seriously improve. I feel like I have areas to improve and I'm excited to game with people who have the same desire. I also want to help everyone else improve and make this team the best it can be.

Why do you want to join us?: I like what I see and you guys seem like you've got the right idea. I've been looking around for some teams to play with, but none of them worked out or sounded like a good group for me. I'm hoping you guys live up to what you've said here!

There is our introduction and Application, so now it's your turn! Post your app in the comments and I'll do my best to get back to everyone in a timely manner!

I look forward to meeting some cool people, getting started on our climb in the Ranked 5's Ladder, and eventually our preparations for Season 5!

P.S. I forgot to say that we will be using Skype as our voice chat. Also, we will be looking to have tryouts as soon as we can. The latest day for that will be Sunday and it might not be with the full team. The tryout won't be about your overall performance, but more seeing where you are skill wise and if we feel you'll fit in with us. Don't stress it and enjoy the game.

Position: Jungle

Top 3 Champs: Udyr XinZhao Rengar

3 Champs you would like to improve with: Evelynn Warwick LeeSin

Why should we want you?: In all honesty, i am a decent player looking to find a group of individuals to become a team and hone my skills better. Solo queu only takes your skill level so far until you need to find that extra edge to push you into becoming a better player. I believe that joining a team will do me that. I work well with others, i can communicate with others. Even though you only asked for 6 champions, i still got quite a bit more for that jungle champion pool so i can change up my gameplay for whatever strategy the team wants. I am very flexible with my playstyle and i can take criticism very well. I'm a friendly individual and can just work well with anybody if given the opportunity.

Why do you want to join us?: In all honesty, i just want to meet a group of new people and become friends with them and form a competitive team to earn the rewards. Maybe i'll find a team by then and get them and maybe i won't. I still want to find a team and just get better and sharpen my skills as a player of League of Legends. I've been looking for a team that actually acts like a team and not some group of individuals all trying to be leader.

Voice Chat Available: Skype and Curse preferred, TS, Vent, Raidcall, Mumble

Position: Jungle

Top 3 Champs: Shyvanna, Yi, Cho'Gath

Why should we want you?: I'm very good with being on-time and communicative. I tend to have a good sense of what objectives to go for and when, basic jungle routes, and have been playing since season 2 and have knowledge of nearly all of the champions. I am not overly passive as a tank, and I understand that wins are not gotten by building full damage as a melee/bruiser.

Why do you want to join us?: I'm looking to improve both my individual and team mechanics, as well as play with other like-minded-but-chill people.

Alright everyone, I'm working on adding people and getting in touch with you to see what we can do. Kind of doing an impromptu try out this evening. Unfortunately we have a lot of junglers and not many top laners, so it'll be hard to get all of you done quickly. I want to give people a fair chance before I judge, so please be patient. If you end up doing something else before I get to you, I understand. Thank you all for the applications so far!

Age: 24

Time Zone: CST

Availability: Monday-Thursday 9-12 CST Friday-Sunday varies but 9-1 on average

Do you have a mic?: Yes.

Voice Chat Available: Skype, Vent, Raid Call, Team Speak

Position: Top

Top 3 Champs: Shyvana, Renekton, Jax

3 Champs you would like to improve with: Ryze, Yasuo, Nidalee

Why should we want you?: I'm an older guy myself looking to play with others closer to my age. I am a relaxed yet competitive guy who can listen, learn, and adapt as well as offer up opinions on how to make things better. I know how to play on a team and want to explore the team dynamics of a ranked team.

Why do you want to join us?: I have been looking for a ranked team for a while and the number one selling point is you guys are the same age as me. Also, I like how well written the post was which shows me you have intelligence and are well worded - this means I don't think you will fly off the handle or do dumb things - both of which are good signs to me in a team.
