Support/Jungle main looking for group to play with

Short version: A lot of my friends either quit league or are... being dragged into the more negative spectrum of the community. So I am trying to find a new group to play with. Ranked or casuals, ranked is fun but often brings out the worst in people.

Since I like organized lists I'll do this in a more organized fashion.

IGN: Circuitbear Time played: Since Season 2 Rank:Plat V Ranked History: Did not do solo queue in season 2 and barely touched it in 3. Played 3v3s for victorious skin. First actually tried ranked in season 4 and go to platinum after 2 months of play time. Stopped after reaching Plat V. Went 8-2 in placements. Only played like 3 out of placement. Game History: Competitively Chess(ranking when I was forced to quit due to work, 1350), Dawngate(coach and captain and various points, by coach I mean mainly just analyst), League mostly 3v3s and solo queue in season 3 since ranked 5's are a pain to organize. All other games were barely touched.

My requirements for the group: Attitude is really it. I knew silver players who all made it to plat when they tried(none of us like solo queue). I also have seen people dramatically improve in a short time. But I've seen a lot of people with 1000+ wins who are stuck in silver/bronze because "my team was bad", or think they have an amazing understanding of the game and thus never get better. I just want to have fun. I don't even care if we win if there is a rager or a snob or someone who refuses to group because he "needs to carry, is behind and needs to farm".

For the following I am only listing those I have played more recently or have extensive experience on so its easy to revert back. I technically have played everything all the way to jungle tank annie. In general I enjoy tank junglers and Shyvana the most.

Support Characters: Sona, Janna, Lulu with Leona as that "tank" option. Those are characters I am comfortable with. Jungle: Vi(who doesn't), Sejuani, Shyvana(I want my Queen of Counterjungling back), Gragas, Jarvan, Nunu, Amumu,

Personality: When in a group I am comfortable with and that has a good mentality I generally fall into the shotcaller role and theorycrafter. I am one of those who runs numbers on buffs and nerfs. I've even found a application of calculus before to my embarassment. My mechanics fall a bit short in some elements but my overall mechanics are "solid" up to about plat(I can only say that since I haven't played consistently against diamonds yet). Game knowledge is usually what I cater to. I don't specifically play "Trinity" characters(in any given role there are usually three characters that make a holy trinity at any given time. Thresh, Leona Blitz for example in support with their massive play rates).

Playstyle: I generally play to the opponents and teamcomp but I prefer control and objective styles. I will almost religiously ward up dragon a minute before hand. I usually aim to zone out the enemy lane in support by myself and often get away with it since most supports don't know matchups well. Jungle usually I prefer to get to a position I am comfortable with before ganking constantly. I apply pressure as I feel is necessary but I will not waist my time ganking a pushed in lane with a good escape.

Pet Peeves: If you want me to jungle, do not tell me to gank your lane every four seconds. I know a lot of people who do this and it proves to me you are a crap laner with no understanding of jungling most the time. Why? Because usually people who do this are pushed in mostly so its curving towards their tower, are low health, have no cc, don't assist the gank(if I have to initiate it makes life a lot harder since they will be paying more attention to me walking out of the bush), don't ward, don't assist in invades.

If you expect the jungler to gank your lane every game, you have problems as a laner. Generally what most "good" junglers will do is find a lane they can snowball, and obliterate it. Picking on the weakest link till they are very fed and then use that laner to snowball the other lane. If all lanes are so bad that they are all easy ganks then you are playing against awful people. Usually a successful gank makes the next gank easier which is why return ganks are effective. If I get a double kill bot and get my ult back on Sejuani, no I am not going top to gank your lane. I'd rather kill bot, again, get adc fed, then get dragon and maybe a turret as well. Laning includes the ability to minimize damage if you are camped by the enemy jungler. It is up to your jungler to weigh where the best use of their time is. IF you disagree with my choice, talk to me about it calmly, do not yell at me to gank your lane. Nothing will annoy me faster.

Reasonable arguments over "you fed" or "LCS did it". LCS is a "guide" not a "rule". The LCS pulls from solo queue and vice versa. generally they play stronger characters, that does not mean there are not characters that counter those characters or that are too low tier to play against them. But that doesn't make AD heimer legit. Anything that numberwise and theory wise is just awful is still, just awful.
