Before you play ranked...

LilWayneSux·Dec 6, 2014·5 votes·1,473 views

think a little. Luckily it's only preseason. However, these things still happen when the season starts. If you're going to play support, actually be a support. Don't ditch your adc to run after the support to get a kill because you're feeling greedy, only to have your adc, then yourself killed. If you're going to play jungle, actually gank a lane that needs help. Don't stay in jungle for 15 minutes while you have losing lanes. If you're going to play adc, at least know how to last-hit, and make sure there is no ability power or magic pen in your rune page. I see too many trashbags in these 3 roles the most. If you can't do the above things, fuck off out of ranked assholes.

Lost it when I see the only win in your match history is full AP "support" Annie. EloPhant also shows you're Bronze so chill pls.

Just because he's bronze doesn't mean that he's bad.

Really though, it usually does mean you're below average. Not that someone can't get a lot better over time... Just saying more times than not, their mechanics are bad/they fail to take objectives.

Being "bad" isn't a good way to put it, but most people in bronze aren't "good". Unless of course they only did provisionals and didn't feel like grinding a few games to silver+.

People say Bronze is "elo hell" etc.... but in all honesty, any decent pub stomp champ can get you out of that elo in no time at all.

this isnt a page to talk about if he's good or bad its a tip page man lol

Completely agree. My apologies :)

Cale017Dec 6, 20141 votes

Or that perhaps he had a rough set of provisionals, or is perhaps just stuck in Bronze hell? It's the exact reasons I have avoided doing ranked; I don't want to deal with the frustration of being stuck in Bronze or Silver if I end up there after provisionals ruined by teammates, which the handful that I attempted to do consistently were.

I had 2 games, one with a master tier smurf, and a diamond smurf who went on to wreck their respective lanes against opponents still learning mechanics in the game, and to snowball hard enough for us to stand no chance later on.

Full AP support Annie helped us get off enough damage to ace before we got baron, then to go on and win the game. ty

I agree with all this, and I feel that when someone pushes the ranked button and little window should pop up explaining, quickly, that ranked expects a higher level of play than normals. And my only disagreement is that I might run magic pen reds and attack damage quints on Corkie...Maybe...

In all honesty, i think the way you should climb is just watch streams and just try to learn from it other then watch for enjoyment, you learn whats important, whats worth it and not worth it. I was in bronze 3 start of season 3 and ended plat the end of season 3, i just think you have to learn not to carry 1v5 cause kills aren't always whats going to carry, you have to guide your team and all that. I think you should think like i always have room to grow other then, I've grown to my peak. Cause in all honesty i suck and i know i do but thats what makes people wanna get better you feel? Just never let your team make you think like man they suck its all on you.

A big problem I've been facing is the fact that I'm constantly getting teamed up with newbies against smurfs. Not all games, but a lot of them. It makes winning near impossible, especially when there is a master 1 on the other team. But like I said, luckily it's only preseason.

C9 ReaperedDec 14, 20141 votes

you cant just limit yourself to not climbing by saying ohh my team mates are playing bad, theyre higher elo, just play your game and climb you cant blame things other then your play. just have to play better man theres no other way to climb you cant blame these little things too its not every game cause the elo you're in is similar skilled players and i believe that so just look to improve and if you think you're playing high level of play idk what to tell you

Cale017Dec 6, 20141 votes

So what you're saying is, people who want to play the competitive side of this game should play it competitively?

Whoa.

LilWayneSuxDec 7, 20141 votes

Exactly. I'm getting teamed up with people who don't really care if they win or lose, or are playing ranked to learn. If you're not in it to win, don't play ranked. If you're still learning, don't play ranked. ty

I always played ranked to learn because i never tried in norms. So i ended up with 3 times the amount of ranked to norm games by the end of the season. All in all i think playing ranked to learn is fine people will end up at the mmr they belong in anyway. And in bronze you cant expect people to play support lol, with me it was always 2 top in bronze cause no one wanted to jungle and support was normally a ap mid or a fiora or something.

Jax support. Too good.

Ecchi GoriraDec 6, 20141 votes

You can get out of bronze without using QWER ever. No let me rephrase that. You can get out of bronze with an auto attacking soraka. So before you bash people for not playing by your standards you should know that you are no better.
