What role to main for solo queue?

EliseTTD·11/12/2014, 12:15:57 AM·1 votes·1,524 views

Hey there! I play at a gold level at every role with a few champions i personally have a high proficiency with spread across the roles just about evenly. But here's the thing, Due to my strange work hours I don't really have anyone to duo and play ranked with, so I'm looking for a role that is really good to just solo with and do well. I used to be a bot lane oriented player when i had the time to duo, but along with bad experiences while trying to be kind to my lane partners, I'd prefer not to main those roles (Unless maybe someone has tips for solo queue synergy improvement). But yea, I'm just hoping that you guys can help me decide on what role to main since i'm pretty indecisive and maybe hearing peoples opinions would help

I'm not the best player in the world, so take my words with a grain of salt

For solo queue I'd say probably jungle,

since it arguably has the most impact on how the game will go early on, and that will most likely flow into what late game ends up like, since either you'll be emitting pressure or ganking in that time, and how much map control it usually has, with wards and what not in the pathways people would usually go through. ( item 2044 s are key)

however

you'd also be holding a knife to your throat with the other hand, because if things get out of control, (i.e other lanes can't catch up, then they start blaming you, etc)

because what do people usually blame?

their laning phase which they had a rough time in, which they would correlate to the jungler not being there, or not successfully pulling off a gank.

I'm a support player, so you can nag at me all you want about being the useless player in the game,

but this is just my two cents

I think jungle might be a good bet since everyone will be relearning the role anyway with the jungle changes, and early game junglers can often run away with a game. I main support myself, but I often go with strong lane bullies like Sona if I don't really trust my ADC that much; if they're someone who mains adc and really wanted the role in champ select, then they probably know how to trade and I can pick something like Janna.

Dont main anything.... You need extensive knowledge of all lanes and roles. Try finding champs for every lane since you only have a 1/5 chance of getting the desired role..

If you want the most control over the game go jungle, but some of the highest in Challenger are ADCs. Those are the 2 roles I would say to main if you want to climb the fastest or the smoothest.
