LFG/LFM - Looking for volunteers to run some experiments (potential for permanent spots)

l1l2l3l4l5l6l7·12/2/2014, 6:30:44 AM·1 votes·1,440 views

What I'm looking for is a bit out of the ordinary, and my requirements are a bit stringent, so if any of this suggests that you want no part of it, then just keep walking; if you're game to try some things you may not have previously thought of, then go ahead and read my requirements:

  1. Minimum of four, maximum of eight volunteers will be taken. Decision to accept will be made by me; consultation of others may or may not happen.
  2. Understand that your position is temporary, and can be severed at my discretion. Potential to become permanent position is available.
  3. Understand that I am the first and final Captain of this "team", but am also looking for "Lieutenants" to also be co-shot-callers.
  4. Must be able and willing to play ALL roles comfortably; order of role preference should be included in application, as well as champion specializations.
  5. Ranked tier need not apply, as I find actions to speak the loudest. Be prepared to display your abilities live.
  6. Must be prepared to follow all shot calls, regardless of what you think of them as an individual. Must be willing to use TS3/Curse Voice/Skype (download, if you don't have them). Which one we use can be negotiated, but we MUST all use the same one.
  7. Must be able to play on a regular and predictable schedule, without unexpected deviations being common. Advanced notice of absences are expected to be given.
  8. Must not have the mindset of surrendering. We do not surrender. We do not troll. We learn from fighting uphill battles.
  9. Must not have been punished by the Tribunal or had your account suspended by Riot for any reason in the last 365 days. If this happens during your membership with us, you will be kicked instantly.
  10. Must be prepared to try things that may not be meta. Must know the difference between a good break and a bad break from the meta.
  11. Must be at least level 30 and be able to adapt to other players quickly.
  12. Must be either a fast learner, a hard worker, or both.
  13. Must be able to show good warding habits and map awareness.
  14. Must not play with the "team" while intoxicated or high.
  15. Must be of a tolerable personality to other members. Number of warnings is limited to one before removal becomes necessary.
  16. Must be willing to take coaching, as well as provide it. Must form and receive coaching in constructive phrases to avoid having negative effects.
  17. Expect temporary membership to last for at least one month with no guarantee of permanent membership afterward.
  18. Teamwork is valued more highly than individual skill here. If you're a master-level player with no sense of team, you won't last long with us.
  19. If you make it through temporary membership and enter into permanent membership, you'll not only gain equal say in who gets to become members of the team, but I'll also get you a skin of your choice (from the in-game shop) as a graduation present.
  20. This will eventually evolve into a permanent team of 5-9 players, and we will work on our teamwork for at least one full season before playing any ranked games together.

If that didn't turn you away, I'm probably already impressed and you should go ahead and apply. Make sure to include in-game name, role preferences (from most to least), specialist champions (and the role you use them in), schedule of availability (time zone included), live spectation from me as you play three games using any of your specialist champions, willingness to use voice chat, reason why you should be accepted, what you can offer to teach and what you need to learn, and whether you fancy yourself as more of a shot-caller or a shot-taker.

Example:

WNxSakido

ADC - Graves/Jinx/Caitlyn/Ashe Mid - Fizz/Karthus/Akali/Malzahar Support - Morgana/Sona/Nautilus/Xerath Jungle - Nautilus/Xin Zhao/Warwick/Akali Top - Fizz/Kayle/Darius/Jax Best 5 - Fizz/Graves/Morgana/Kayle/Nautilus

Sun - N/A Mon-Fri - 10PM-1AM MST Sat - 9PM-2AM MST

Perfectly willing to be spectated

Have TS3, Curse, and Skype, willing to use any. TS3 preferred.

Should be accepted because I play consistently regardless of the situation, work well with teammates, and have a deep understanding of game mechanics. Quick to make friends, slow to get annoyed, and I take every game seriously. In particular, I can play any ADC and carry hard, and can handle 1v2 lanes very well. I like to think outside the box, but in intuitive ways that work. I have a near-perfect understanding of item theory, and can craft a build for any situation in a heartbeat. In one word, I would describe myself as: patient.

I can offer to teach the styles of ADC and assassins to anyone willing to learn, and could really use some improvement under the categories of counter-jungling and getting teammates fed.

I consider myself to be more of a shot-caller.

ADC- Vayne Corki Graves Caitlyn Lucian Support- Blitz Nami Thresh Leona Braum Mid- Akali Syndra Zed Orianna Top- Irelia Akali Gnar Jungle- Lee Sin Master yi Warwick Fiddles

Mon-Friday ALMOST always 8-11 PST, Saturdays Sundays Free whole day with some exceptions for last minute plans with friends etc.

Sometimes during the week i'll also start to be free as early as 4 PST

Yes, You can spectate me all you want!

Willing to use any but I can't use Curse because I'm on a mac. I would prefer to skype

Should be accepted because I always focus on what I can do better no matter what the situation is. If i have a bad support, I think of ways to get around it instead of blaming my support. I bring a positive attitude to the team and I'm not only willing to learn but teach others what I know as well. You can always count on me to play my best, of course I have good games and bad games, but you'll never find me enter the mode of "fuck this I don't care"

I offer a strong will attitude to overcome any challenges that I'm faced with. And i will encourage everyone around me to do the same. I've learned this ability to overcome anything through personal life experiences and I've developed a never give up personality that applies not only to league but everything i do.

I feel that I'm more of a shot-caller

What does your team offer for following those 20 rules? & also, "Teamwork is valued more highly than individual skill here. If you're a master-level player with no sense of team, you won't last long with us." meanwhile you say this... "Understand that I am the first and final Captain of this "team", but am also looking for "Lieutenants" to also be co-shot-callers." & "Must be prepared to follow all shot calls, regardless of what you think of them as an individual."

Sounds to me like you have little to no experience on a 5's team but you just want a team to call your own. If you want a successful team, you're going to have the change that mentality of yours. Either way, best of luck to you & your team.

Should be accepted because I have a deep understanding of game mechanics. Vision Control is really good. extremely map aware. shen is one of my top champs as well for that same reason but he requires a lot more teamwork.I take every game seriously. im not afraid of going up against counters.. I believe all counters are skill based. if you know you are countered. then just play passive without feeding and prioritize your farm.communicate that with your team and try to take advantage of that. I main support because I love the feeling of protecting my carries.. its one thing to get all the glory for having a penta or acing the team.. but knowing that they were able to get that ult off because you kept their assasins from getting to your carries is a great feeling. very rewarding.

I can offer my shot calling to the team.. ive done numerous amounts of research not just by watching games but studying them as well. I do believe in the following calls blindly because you should have that trust with your team. those few seconds you waste trying to decide if he made the right call or not could be crucial to the call actually being achieved. I also believe that the shot calling should be earned not just handed out and can easily be removed from a certain person for tilting. there is nothing wrong with that. even pros tilt.

I consider myself to be more of a shot-caller.

I play consistently in most situations, work well with teammates that know how to not back down. I am generally laid back and get along with most people. I like to think outside the box, hitting people with stuff they haven't seen before. I often reconstruct builds on the fly to suit situations as they arise. I am not so dedicated to a specific build that I ignore the needs of the game.

I am able to teach people to play high risk high reward champions that get into a fight and stay there. My main point is focus, find a champion your team needs to remove from the battlefield and drive down the court to them without getting distracted. In one word I am intuitive.

I prefer to take orders rather than give them.

All Day Weekends past 8pm pst Weekdays

Prefer not to be spectated unless it is a ranked game - play around during normals 90% of the time

Have every single voice comm

I play late game champions generally, early game bullies, and hyper late powerhouses. My flaws are : Cocky, Defensive, Passive- Aggressive. My best traits are: Encouraging, Experienced, Empathetic.

I dislike players that have no real want to play on my team, often times I will call them out. I like players that take the reigns when they need to and listen to calls when they need to.

Rank: Diamond 5 Highest Rank: Diamond 3 Highest Ranked 5'S Rank: Master Experience: Played on many ranked 5's team, most of which were unorganized even though first impressions were promising. Hopped from team to team before settling in on one that eventually reached Diamond, broke apart later and now am in search of a team.

I am a plat adc/mid lane main with a lot of competitive experience. I ran a team of all diamond + (except for myself) and we where plat 1 by the end of the season as a team. During that time, we placed 2nd in Solidarity Gaming's tournament, top 6 in a amateur league, and top 32 in razer coms 254 team tournament, loosing out to the challenger teams that was in the tournament. I know what its like to run and maintain a team, as well as work out com issues and team play. I am most interested in playing Mid, though I did play top lane for three months for my old team, so I have experience in the role and the meta has shifted more towards my preferred style.

Tuesday/Thursday Available after 5pm CST All other days are dependent upon my work schedule which I receive 2 weeks in advance. Latest I work is 8:30 PM CST and can play at least two to three games a night unless I am working mornings at 4:30 am. Which is fairly rare. Added you in game, hope to hear back from you.

  1. Top - Kayle, Teemo, Rengar, Nasus
  2. Mid - Kayle, LUx, Teemo, Syndra 3.Jungle - Udyr, Rengar, Teemo, J4 4.ADC - Jinx, Vayne, Caitlyn, Ezreal 5.Support - Morgana/Zyra, Blitz, Lux

Best 5 - Kayle, Rengar, Teemo, Ezreal, Lux

Any time id prefer to play at night but have a fluctuating schedule between work or school during the day so not sure what days would be free yet. I live on the west coast so PST.

I am plat 4, I play any role fairly well my mains probably a solo lane though either top or mid. I dont like relying on someone to do well bot so I dont like going adc or support unless i know their playstyle well.

I dont mind being spectated.

I can use any voice chat I would just need to download it if I have it, I mainly use skype or TS right now.

I said that i got work and school but those are pretty flexible just wanted to add that.

Current rank: plat 4 Highest rank solo: plat 2 Highest Ranked 5s: Plat 5

I should be accepted because im the shit im blasian hahaha jk but I do well 1v1 even if I lose lane I do well to go even and sit back and farm/wait for mid game to team fight. I have good game knowledge know when to invade usually know where the jungler is heading or where hes at in his jungle, topside or bot side. I pay attention and tell my team so they can focus on their lane more easily.

I consider myself a shot caller andsomeone who listens to shots. I will give my input on little things during the game like so and so will probably be around here so lets look for a pick, but I dont like to make big calls cause I dont want to be the person to throw the game with a shitty call.
