Is it smart to spam solo q?

BamBoozzled·3/17/2015, 8:14:25 PM·1 votes·2,312 views

Hey everyone i was wondering if you guys can help me out. Im in gold 3 51 lp at the moment (as i write this in the q for a ranked game) and i was wondering if any of you can shed some advice on this topic. I main support and if i dont get it i normally just fill, i do my best not to feed and normally dont but im really confused. Most of my friends i have most in and around mid gold, high plat, and some diamond. They mostly just spam ranked but im always nervous im gonna lose lp. I would like to reach plat but im kind of at a standing point. I would like to learn other roles for example i play irelia top and j4 jungle. With this, its fun to play support and i love the role and being stronger then like mostly all the low play and high gold players but i want to play other roles. Most of the people i know just play what they want in solo q but i dont know whether to practice in normals or ranked. I know all the supports but i want to play more top and mid i win my lane most of the time but i want to be able to be versatile in solo q to get better and eventually climb but i dont know when to play ranked and if i should play the champs i want to try out?

Try to get a champ that can do more than 1 role, especially if you like support. For example, lots of mage supports can do mid. Ashe can support and top and adc. Can mid too I suppose. I love morgana support, and she can go mid as well just by maxing W instead of Q first. Obviously there is annie.

The point of this is so that you can master a few champs as the role you like most (support), and that experience will directly help you use that same champ in the other role. So possibly try to master 3 supports that can sub in other lanes/roles.

think of lp as..money. when you enter a game, you're spending your money (lp) to learn something and improve.

if you lose the game, you have successfully spent your money (lp) to learn something. (make sure you're improving, Always)

If you won the game, congrats you not only learnt something, but you won more money!! more money to spend on learning more things.

as you continue learning more and more things, the games in your current division will start to become easier and easier, granting you more money (lp) you get into your promos. maybe even passing them, advancing you to a higher division, where you;ll learn more advanced tactics.

dont be afraid to lose lp (money) you gotta spend some to get some! :D

Simple answer Yes, SPAM RANKED.

• A. You will shake the nervousness off. Being calm and relaxed will lead to more consistent game play. • B. Best way to improve is to play people higher than your skill level. But we can always settle for people at the same skill level. • C. I have been spamming rank since I hit level 30, I reached plat 2 last season.

Normal Queue just doesn't quench my thirst for competition.
