I really want a teacher to play this game with =( I'm just looking for a friend who can teach me what I'm doing wrong and have fun playing this game with. I'm silver 3 but lately have been stuck. Frankly I think It's all mental. I used to play at a gold quality level on 5's team vs golds and plats consistently and break even at the least when playing top lane for my team. Soloq is what I'm left with now that my team[s] have stopped being active. I love this game so much and one day even it's season 5 6 or 7 I want to play at the challenger level. Please add me in game if you want a student and a new friend! MorrisLovesTuna.

So the game is a different beast when playing solo q verses 5s. In 5s you are used to people following directions and team work. Individual performance did not matter as much since you could work with your other lanes. Basically the whole can be greater than the 5 individual players.

Well none of that happens in solo q. Solo q is about what plays you can make to snowball your team. Taking objectives is great as long as you can read the map movements of the enemy. No one is going to be watching your back and giving you a heads up all the time. Understanding the vision game is about placing wards and when you do not see anyone still on the map knowing what they are going anyways.

Also in solo Q knowing when to move and gank is really important. Moving into another persons lane without being asked and actually helping them is a skill a lot of players have.

You need to realize that you are playing with low silvers. You may be good enough to play in gold or even plat, but your team mates may not be able to do what you expect of them. Sure berjson could of made every follow up, but these people are not him. try to make basic plays and take small advantages. Also remember that in every game your with new people and that they are going to look at you just another silver player(no respect). They are not going to always listen to another silver scrub.

I could mentor you but i am not really patient. (ask my group). I tend to get frustrated with my friends when they fail to preform cause they are just having fun.

Well I sent you an add on the client. I'm probably one of the most patient people I know so it ought to balance out if you're up for a couple of games. I hate to lose without learning and winning a game without learning is empty and promotes self confidence.

I look at my normal games and I'm almost 50 50 for wins and losses. So I know whatever it is I'm doing that's preventing me from the higher standards that i know i'm capable of I need an outside perspective to help me achieve greater results.

If you're willing to offer some of your time: I play this game to win all the time and will take what you have to say seriously and try my best going into game now ttyl.
