I am currently a silver NA player looking for a some diamond smurfs to play along with. I find it helpful to play along side some one that know's what they are doing other than watching some one on youtube or twitch. Feel free to add me if you would like I would prefer diamond adc's so I can lane with them your help would be appreciated thank you.

jimmylism4 votesOnly diamond smurfs? No challanger, plat or gold smurfs? >.<
MugyvrNinja1 voteslol well I recently qued up with a diamond Draven in ranked so diamond on the mind but if there are challengers willing to duo with me that would be nice and it would probably be more realistic to ask for gold players or plats they would probably be more willing.
Ahri O Speedwagn2 votesI feel like playing ranked with Diamond smurfs won't help you. If you want people to help you, the best way for them to help would be to actually watch you play, not play with you. There are so many small parts of the game that are easily overlooked if you can't devote your full attention to the game. If you want to be a better player, learn how to cs. 90% of bronze/silver players fail to grasp the importance of farming. Learn how to manipulate the creep wave, learn how to harass while farming, and learn how to position in teamfights. If you can do those 3 things, the mechanics will come later. Use champs like Cait, Trist, Lucian, etc. Champs that are easy to play and still can carry games. Learn the basics of being a good ADC before trying to tackle bigger challenges.

I agree with you playing ranked with a diamond smurf won't help get better at the game I my self like to play ranked solo not really a big fan of duo in ranked.

Yes this is true I agree with you half the time I really don't know what to do lol.
DeFMUDE2 votesHey,
I would highly advise against your plans. Playing with people far above your current skill level will not help you improve much. They won't show you better mechanics, are not needed to gain game knowledge, and won't show you what proper decision making means.
You acquire mechanics through deliberate practice. Play a champion, always keep in mind what you want to execute better, and do it. No challenger player will fix your mechanics. Which by the way are the most common problem for SIlver players. I was there, too some tome ago. And I have to say, the problem of many silver players is, that they do know what they want to do, they simply can'T execute it 100% of the time.
On the other hand, a higher ranked player could provide you with game knowledge. But tbh, just start being interested in the game beyond your role and champions, and knowledge will come. Things like timing cooldowns, knowing when to countergank, predicting enemy warding. If you play attention to those things, you will have this knowledge intuitively at some point. I never "learned" any cooldowns, but for most champions I simply have a gut feeling now, when something is back up. - this comes with time and paying attention.
The last thing is decision making. This is the most volatile trait of skill. You can't learn it by simply remembering some "when A, then B" formulas. Decision making needs to come intuitively, paired with basic knowledge, which you should already have. Play a few 100 games more, and there will come the point, where out of nowhere the "Let's do Baron at 17 min " comes to your mind, you will look at the map and realize, that your intuition is really telling you the right thing.
You don't need other players to improve yourself. You need patience, practice and serious interest in the game and all it's aspects. So go ahead, keep imroving. : )

I agree with you for the most part but when I was in que with that diamond player support him I was able to play support on a different level, his positioning affect mine and his action's made my reaction time faster in a sense. The difference in mechanics between the both of us where interesting and I couldn't help but try and duplicate his action's.
OveRate2 votesPlaying with them wont help as much as you watching them or streamers and using what u see of their mechanics and in game decisions to your in game play and focus on improving yourself, you can add me if you'd like Chris OveRate, or follow my stream twitch.tv/overate906. But i reccomend watching the pros a bit and just trying out what fits u best.
