Get a decent champion pool first, and finish some rune pages.

However, if you wish to start playing ranked right now, I would consider playing your very best champion, and go absolute tryhard. A few tips: Bot lane will feed, almost all of the time. Mid is NOT good if you play a champion that has a lot of popular counter-picks. Your personal score doesn't matter; it's carrying your team and getting objectives that matters.

If I were to play a ranked game right now would I be placed with really good people or people who just started playing ranked games like me?

Every season, a player plays their Provisional Matches; ten games where you are matched with people and the matchmaking system over the course of those ten games narrows down which League you will be placed in. Your placement is going to start pretty neutral and refined as the games will be played, I believe likely especially because you have not played ranked queues before. However, your actual opponents will be determined by what your MMR is, not the League System.

Hello JenWasHere,

To be honest, the best time to play ranked is when you feel ready and confident to do it. Just try to ask for your preferred roles, and ask whoever is first pick to ban any champion you don't feel comfortable playing against.

Other general tips are, to have at least 2 full tier 3 rune pages for ad/ap or tank/jungle or whatever it is your most common role, To have at least 1 champion you feel at least okay playing in every role.

Other things some people like to do is to /mute any toxic jerks so they don't affect your play. And some people like to take a break from ranked after 3 straight losses to avoid further stress/tilt and play normal games to have fun until they feel ready again.

Best of luck in your ladder climbing endeavors.

You stated that you don't have the tier 3 runes you need yet. I'd get better at the champs you already play, and pick up champs (3 min) for all the roles and rune pages for each, some can use the same pages.
