Shan Norris, I meet the higher ranks when I do my daily AI or in custom games when I am testing out something. I friend them and play with them casually in unranked PvP and/or customs. Guess I should have explained myself better. I do not really play ranked that much cause of constantly losing. Sorry for not making myself clear.
Yellowbuzz I agree and understand, rank really doesn't matter to me either. I just want to better myself and play with others that play well. I do not care about winning or losing. I just want to have fun games in which I better myself. To be honest some of the best games I have play ed were when I lost big. I learned and got better, and thats what I enjoy.
Thanks for the advice and the support CakeTheIvany. Yea my champion pool is steadily growing, as for match ups thats really hard to do when nobody plays some of the champions. I have read about each champion and their abilities and watched the videos to see what their abilities look like so I know how to avoid their skills shots. I have played other positions just to play against certain champions so I know what to expect. i.e. different combos depending on the circumstance. I even look at the build sites so I know what to generally expect on different champions builds so I have a semi decent plan of attack ahead of time on what to build to help my team out the most.
I have read up on how to read lanes based what your opponents do, and also keeping track of others on the map. Both kinda play into knowing when to ward to maximize the time. As far as positioning, I printed out maps on clear paper and drew paths to help me with best routes to move in certain circumstances so I do not get out of position and where I could flash to etc.... Then memorizing them.
Which all brings me to 3.... Most the good players I know that are lower ranked either do not ADC, or already have a duo partner. So I am kinda looking for a duo or team.
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
