Forming 5v5 Ranked Team

PenerButtSmasher·12/1/2014, 2:01:07 AM·1 votes·1,672 views

Hi, my name is FakeCredentials and I am currently looking for members around Sil5-Gold1 (but I may make some exceptions), positions of ADC, Mid, Top and Jungle for a new ranked team.

More important than the division to me, is each individual's philosophy or behavioral approach to the game. I want the players who understand they aren't perfect, but are willing to learn. I also will take preference for a player who has shown improvement in MMR rating vs. a stagnant but higher MMR, as that is more evidence of how a player approaches LoL.

To me League of Legends is similar to a fast paced chess game, with elements of a basketball team (5 players on the field). There are so many aspects of Leagues such as team comp strategies, mechanics, methods of closing and  personnel morale that affect a team's gameplay, and it is important to at least acknowledge that, as mastering those aspects are what we strive for. 

Simple Ground Rules:

  1. No blaming other members of the team. This is my biggest pet peeve. I don't wanna play the blame game, everyone makes mistakes and blaming someone puts the entire burden of a loss on that person's shoulders. No bueno for morale. There is an alternative called constructive criticism. Point out something GOOD before bringing up the mistake, but do so politely.
  2. Discussions - AT LEAST a weekly meeting, with preferably the entire team, to discuss team compositions (setting up a poke/harass, sustain, all-in comp that fits all of our champ pools), what counters them and in-game strategies, etc. Also a brief after match meeting, just some quick constructive criticism of the match.
  3. Have fun and enjoy the experience! There is so much to learn from ranked play that can improve your performance in SoloQ and maybe in real life as well.
  4. Skype Communications - Must have.

If you would like to apply:

IGN: NicoLoco Timezone: EST Division: Gold 3 Age: 16 Role: Jungle Champ Pool (for role): Amumu, Jarvan, Skarner, Sejuani & Maokai Why you would like to join my (maybe our) team: Because I love ranked 5's, just the fact that I can talk to 4 other player while in a competitive game makes me go nuts (just kidding) but yea, I have played a lot of soloq this season and I don't really like it, I got gold 3 then stopped to play as much r5's as possible for the season rewards, yet since then I have been hooked to it. I can shotcall pretty well, actually very well & I am friendly with everyone. So yea maybe it will be our team xD

I love to play league, but more importantly I feel a group of 5 players can improve my skill. I consider myself to be pretty good mechanically wise, but my weakness is in the decision making side. I'm that type of person who really tries to step everything up when playing with others that I know, I do wellin pressure. I feel that I can teach others some things and at the same time learn things from others, it's a nice system where teammates can give and recieve help.

I enjoy playing league with friends and i would love to learn new stuff and help out to teach people if they make mistakes, I really don't like it when people blame others and don't take responsibility but the most importantly of all that matters in a rank team is teamwork. Alot of teams don't have that and i'm looking for a team that can work together with perfect synergy. I love your well structured system and i think it is smart thing for allies to learn from their mistakes and try a different option.

I have two accounts, since you said Silver 5 - Gold 1, I didn't know if you were OK with having a plat, so If no, I have a silver account :)

Also I have never been in a ranked team, so it would be pretty cool to join. I also would be totally content just being a back up player.

IGN:The Fae Sorceres Timezone:central Division:s1 Age:18 Role:support Champ Pool (for role): (from best descending)Lulu Thresh Nami Morgana Leona Blitzcrank Janna Braum Zyra Why you would like to join my (maybe our) team: I feel the best way to improve in this game would be to learn in a 5v5 team manner because solo que is a complete different game which almost essentially runs off of first bloods and early kills because nobody wants to try and make a come back. In 5v5 i can play the warding game much better since vision is more prevelant in 5v5 than solo que games where you have to build as much items as possible

None of you want to join this team,

I was the first or second one to apply, and we spoke about tryout times etc. I log on at 4 pst the time we agreed on and he has me waiting to play, doesn't talk to me much, after 1 hour he starts a game and removes me off of his friends list...

Don't join this bull sh*t team
