Project Sentinel

Roles needed : Mid, Jungle, Top, Disclaimer : I will most likely be trying people out in the order of mid > top > jungle. I'm also going to start quoting peoples applications and putting why I didn't contact you.

Other topic had too many pages.

Read the entire topic.

Here's a few things so that way you don't waste your time applying.

  • Bronze 5 - Gold 1 in solo que.
  • Looking for people who main the role that they play. It doesn't matter to me if you mained it last season, last season was almost a year ago now.
  • Going to be using RaidCall voice program, be okay with this. It is a free software and does not take long to download. It is a lot like ventrilo / teamspeak.
  • Need to have sufficient ranked play in the position that you're applying for, if you wanna play jungle but have less than 20 jungle games this season in ranked I'm not interested. Same goes for all roles. I'm wanting people who actually put forth an effort to play the role that they want to main, not people who " play every role" and are just mediocre at them. I Check everyone's stats, if you apply for a position and you barely have any games played as that position you're not what I'm looking for.
  • MUST BE 18+ YEARS OLD, 21+ is preferred, Can't stress how much i hate playing with younger people because they're always talking about random shit the entire game instead of focusing.
  • Have a good microphone to use. If you have a bunch of feedback, or have alot going on in the background it's distracting for the 4 other players.
  • Rank means a lot less to me than stats do. I WILL be looking at everyone's stats who I'm interested in. I'd rather have a bronze 2 mid with great stats over a gold 3 mid who averages 10 deaths a game every game.
  • Be available Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays 7pm - 11 pm EST. These will be the SET days for practicing and playing 5v5 ranked together.
  • I expect every member of the team to play solo/duo que in their free time. A lot of people say they hate solo que, fine, but I see it this way. If you want to get better, do you practice against people who are worse than you? or do you practice against people are at your skill level or even higher?
  • Trust your team mates to play their roles. Criticism is a great thing, it helps people get better, but; MOST people do not know how to give constructive criticism. If you are the type who spends more time asking people on your team why they're playing a champion, or why they are building a specific item, this is not the team for you. Trust is the most important thing in a team atmosphere.
  • Know how to lose your lane graciously, it is one thing to lose your lane, it happens to literally everyone. But there's a difference between losing your lane, and feeding them to the point that you make it very hard for our team to win.
  • It is likely to take a week or two to find the whole team, be okay with us not just taking the first 4 to apply and playing.
  • This team is just to have some fun playing competitively in ranked 5s, we're going to lose, alot, but I expect we'll also win a lot. Once the team is comfortable we may play in the free riot point prized tournaments.

If I can think of anything else I'll update this list accordingly.

Application - Disclaimer : if I feel that you did not read my entire post, you will be ignored. I took my time to type this up, so I expect you to take the time to read it and answer my questions correctly. I will be contacting people as time allows, and if they interest me, you can add me but it doesn't guarantee anything. Also if you add me and I see that you haven't replied, I'm going to say go reply, and ignore you until you do.

DO NOT SKIP ANY QUESTION, THINK ABOUT YOUR RESPONSE, DO NOT BE GENERIC TO FILL IT OUT FASTER. Explain your answer to strength and weakness, don't just put generic shit.

Summoner name : Arkadia

Age : 18

Position : (Pick One) Mid

5 champions in your role that you feel strongest with : Zed, Yasuo, Ahri, AP Kog'Maw, Azir (I have had a rough streak on Azir though, kind of ties in with my lack of success on control mages, I have also been practicing Jayce, Fizz, and Riven in the mid lane and I may add Katarina, Talon, and/or Master Yi to that pool).

Biggest Strength I don't believe in having absolute strengths if I'm only in Silver 5 : Mechanics relative to my elo (I have a high skillcap champion pool, I find myself landing lots of charms on Ahri, I can fast combo on Riven and I have been practicing her animation cancels, I consistently gain CS leads on Yasuo and Zed, not afraid to split push or play aggressive-this kind of fits with my assassin based champion pool)

Worst Weakness : I will actually list more than one, because one of the main reason I am looking for a 5s team is to shore up these weaknesses, also because I'm only Silver 5 I have WAY more weaknesses than strengths. 1) My pool doesn't line up with the current meta, I have found little to no success on mages even though Kog'Maw seems to be an exception. 2) I can get frustrated/fail to do well if I don't get solo kills in lane, I need to learn to rely on farm leads to come out ahead in the laning phase. I also crutch on winning lane sometimes unless I'm playing Kog'Maw. 3) I don't have the best mid/late game decision making, I have considered learning to shotcall in order to improve this decision making. 4) I'm not always consistent, I can have games where I go like 15/0 and solo carry, I'll have other games where I'll just end up falling flat. 5) Sometimes, if I do well and my team falls behind, I put all the pressure on myself, making desperation plays to try and solo carry, which only ends up costing us. 6) I have had spells of ranked anxiety, I want to play more Ranked, but worrying about losing has gotten the better of me. 7) I don't always respect the enemy jungler, kind of spreads from my aggression, getting ganked a lot tends to put me far behind.

Are you available on the set times : I will be, but I am in a hectic spot right now as I am preparing to move into college. Things should normalize before the end of August.

Are you okay with practicing in solo Que in your free time : Yes, I am trying to get over some ranked anxiety/fear of losing, and I think playing on a serious ranked 5s team will be the motivation I need to grind out solo queue and climb the ladder.

Are you okay with downloading RaidCall : Yes

Ask me a question : How much experience from Ranked 5s can one translate into solo queue success?

In my opinion, it should have alot, especially considering what you listed as weaknesses. My way of thinking is that, by playing with players who have good shotcalling/ decision making skills, you'll be able to see first hand how good calls can turn the whole tide of a game. On top of that by being in voice chat with the person shot calling they can explain to you why they chose the play that they called. I myself think my biggest weakness is my mid to late game decision making, so I've been working on it myself. Things like when to trade certain objectives, when to be able to tell you're able to make those risky plays you were talking about and a ton of other things.

On top of that by playing with 4 other competent players discussions can arise about other things such as best places to ward, best ways to engage on certain champions who aren't from your lane, When it's a good call to go for barons, and many other things.

By being in a team with good calls you will be able to take all this knowledge into solo que and talk your team through certain points of the game to give you huge advantages. Sure, alot of the time people in solo que will not listen to you, but, if this knowledge helps you win 1-2 more games per every solo que game played, over a decent amount of games it should definitely benefit climbing.

This...Like seriously, if someone forming a team wants to get to know you a bit, then they have every right to. Also, it's a very good idea. I've joined some teams, and then VERY EARLY ON, someone ends up rubbing me the wrong way. I find it perfectly reasonable that people want to put together a group of people who will be more than just teammates, but friends and people they can get along with and trust.
