Creating a Serious Ranked Team

Styled·11/29/2015, 6:09:12 PM·1 votes·1,701 views

Hello friends I've recently been on various ranked teams and they all just seem to die within a week or even after the first five games so I've taken the liberty to make a serious team myself. I am looking for dedicated players who are willing to actually spend time playing with the team and working to make it better even if we don't get the greatest rank off of our first five placement matches. Also I'm looking for people who are willing to improve and don't rage or get angry when we lose and in the end can accept that it is just a game and it's okay to make mistakes. I ask that if you are considering the team, that you are an active player and are online daily, it would be ideal if the team could play at least once a day (of course I know people have schedules so we would try to work out times that work for everyone). I am EST so I would prefer if you were EST as well but I'm sure if you're really committed and want to join but are in another time zone, we can make it work. We will be using some sort of voice communication and hopefully we will be able to get this team somewhere and come together and improve with each other. A little bit about me is that I started playing league in late season 3 and I am currently platinum 2. I main top but it would still be nice to have a few subs on the team and we can always rotate positions so I am accepting all roles. If you are an active player and you are interested in joining the team please fill out the following application:

Main role: Champs in that role: Secondary role: Champs in that role: Age (Really Doesn't Matter Just Curious :3): Current Solo Queue Rank: Timezone: Can you download the voice communication needed/have a mic: How long have you played league: Previous ranked teams experience: Hours Available during week/weekend: Strengths: Weaknesses: Why you want to join the team: What can you take out of a lost game:

What can you take out of a lost game: There is always another game, reflect on critical points in the game (e.g. ganks and where I could've made a different decision), discuss what things we could do better as a team, and always practice to make ourselves better.

Main role: Support Champs in that role: Janna= my best Illaoi Bard Soraka Annie Taric TwistedFate Karma Galio Braum Zilean Lulu Gangplank Lux Ekko=(depends on if I feel like killing them or not)

Secondary role: (I'd like to say ADC but it's not really since most say I play like a mid laner.) MID

Champs in that role:Ekko =my best (Friggen love this dude) Anivia Ahri Ashe Ezreal Leblanc Annie Malzahar Lux Ziggs Illaoi Fizz Nidalee Varus Teemo Gangplank Lucian TwistedFate Orianna Jayce Brand Galio

Age (Really Doesn't Matter Just Curious :3): 19

Current Solo Queue Rank:I'm hopping back and forth from bronze 4 and 5

Timezone: EST

Can you download the voice communication needed/have a mic: Yes

How long have you played league: Season 2

Previous ranked teams experience: No one was serious

Hours Available during week/weekend: I'm actually available all weekend, and during the week monday tuesday thursday and friday 4:00pm-2:00am

Strengths: I guess you could say I'm pretty positive and don't like giving up. If there is a way to save a game I look at every other option and try and take a risk. I'm also pretty damn good at running away XD, mostly on Janna and a late game poppy.

Weaknesses: I tend to overextend sometimes so bear with me. Item prioritization is also a sort of problem with me as on almost every mid laner I buy a Ludens echo and totally forget about rabadons death cap. Also my bard Ults may be off at times so bear with me. (Killed a katarina at one point cuz I only ulted her, when I meant to hit their team @-@)

Why you want to join the team: I want to get better. For too long have I been in bronze. I started silver and I wish to climb as high as possible. The majority of people I play with are almost as bad as I am and they say if your the best in your group you need to find another group so yeah, been trying to do that but failing all the same.

What can you take out of a lost game: What I did wrong, what I did right, I like to review what happened where and who took advantage of what! Where wards were, where everyone was and exactly where the fights were taking place.
