Lf duo to diamond, also currently gold-plat.
Basically the idea is to show up and que up with the same(ish) group each day. Play it like solo q, but at least you're getting to form synergy and obtain that advantage. Expect losses/some of the things you see soloqing. There are 0 other advantages. A disadvantage is when drama or something forms within this group. As there's a problem then you're good to talk about it. Avoid letting that stuff build up. Talking about issues happens after games though. During, you're here to play.
