How do you know you're ready for playing ranked?

The moment you realize that ranks should be played like norms, then you're ready.

If you have 2 full rune pages and 2-3 champions you can play for each role.

Most of the people who play League of Legends do it in ranked mode, don't be nervous about it or feel the need to ultra-prepare.

have a full rune page

1.Pick carry champs. 2.carry your team. 3.Dont depend on a jungle for ganks or a support for wards. 4.Basically 1v5 the best u can.

play once you really understand this game once you see other peoples mistakes and know how to make an advantage out of it understand things like not to chase kils but know what to do instead ( often something like go back to lane and force them to go there aswel or lose a tower )

be sure you have played jungle and suport for a while even if you are more of a laner cause this makes you understand in what a stupid position you are putting yourself if you are not warding or overextending

First, check your rune pages. If you can cover each role adequately with at least once page, continue. Then, check your champion pool. If you have 3 adequate champions for each position (minimum about 8 since there are some flex picks), continue. Note that you must actually be able to win with these champs.

Finally, Take a screwdriver and jam it into your arm as hard as you can. if you don't bleed, your skin is thick enough and you may queue.

Honestly, You're ready for ranked when you want to be. it really is different than normals from a mentality standpoint though.

1. Spam champs in team builder until you can get about a 50% win rate (over something like the course of 20 or so games) when the average ranking of opponents (use http://na.op.gg/ to find out peoples' rank) is about what you consider to be an okay spot to end up on the ranked latter.

2. Repeat step one until you have a few champs in every role to play on that you can preform okay on at your target level.

3. Acquire runes and rune pages for all the champs you have practiced.

4. Then you are ready.

5. If you find yourself unable to consistently win but feel you are better than your opponents / team mates, you are approaching (but slightly below) the level you currently belong at. Further progress will be difficult unless you improve.

6. Remember that 20% of games are un-winable no matter what you do. On the other hand, as long as you are not trying to sabotage your team 20% of games will be won regardless of how you do. How many of the remaining 60% you win will determine how quickly you progress. The percent of games where you do not matter is proven by the player Annie Bot getting a 20% win rate on support while sitting in the bot lane bush all game eating a sandwich back when he was stuck in silver 3.

you should know how to play at least 5 champions "decently" and 2 of them "really good"

pick a role pick a lane pick a champion play champion in that lane being that role, until you master it. do it again for a new champion.

I played as soon as I hit 30 back in season 3, lost like 70% of the time. But I stopped on my 5th game cause I kept losing. Took a break until next season, playing normals exclusively, went back to ranked, and ended up with ~75% win rate, gold 5. I stopped playing at gold just for the rewards, and now in s5 im in gold 1 after my provisionals to g2

I had about 500 normal wins.

tldr : dont play ranked immediately at 30. Wait till you're at around a 50% win rate in normals with ~500 wins and u should reach high silver/low gold from provisionals

1. Don't have a Mac.
2. Don't have shit internet.
3. Know at least 2-3 champs per role, INCLUDING SUPPORT.
4. Don't troll.

Boom, you are ready. Regardless if you are ready from bronze 5 or not, as long as you're trying you're fine.

If your playing this game just for fun, i recommend never playing ranked lol. bt if you really want to play ranked then understand each role and wat it does, know how to play well, farm, or not feed in each role and just mute everyone that annoys you without saying anything. it will save you so much pain

I have one tip. If your ready for ranked. Get one penta. Then you'll feel like you can 1v5 any team. Gg, ma boi, your ready for ranked.. XX_LORD_SENPAI_XX
