Coaching Lesson 1: the pre-game

Pre-game coaching

You want to get better in rankeds? You are allways stressed in rankeds cause of your teammates? You feel bad after a session of rankeds?

This is not THE answer but one of a few to increase your focus

Mentality

1. dont play ranked to have fun but try to have fun. This does sound weird, but i mean play rankeds with the attitude to win but dont be dissapointed if you loose( laugh about misplays and accept getting outplayed or outplaying yourself sometimes). You will not win every game, but you can enough to climb the ladder

2. dont play rankeds in a stressed or bad mood, easy as that

3. the most important: don't flame, ignore them as fast a it looks like they might be negative, flame in your mind but never ever write it down, because you will become stressed and distracted from your game

Pre-game setup

1. Plan 1 hour per game - don't start if you have no hour to play stressless an take a comfortable place to play. Don't play ranked if you are uncomfortable with the surrounding (too much noise, other seat and so on)

2. Never start with a ranked (play bot, normal or custom game before you focus to check ping and possible strange game equipment setups

Championselect

1. Be polite to your teammates to get the role you want, try to convince them that you need your main position

2. play only 3 champs (which don't have a high percentage banrate) on your main position the less different champs you have to play the better you will be at them

3. be able to play every other role with 1 champ (especially support cause its the only role you can't skip

4. if you cannot pick a champ you are comfortable with talk to your teammates about your circumstances(never justify a bad performance with this!)

5. dodge if needed
