Ranked Solo Queue Rant: Not Worthwhile When You...

[quote=SatansFate]Honestly, you just need to pick a character that can survive said elo hell. I've played 6 ranked games today, lost the first two, then played Amumu for the last 4. Won every single one. 960 ELO to 1190. Not bad IMO.[/quote]

[quote=1337azn]Well, I'm trying again with ranked and currently am at 1150 from the 1000s before. I had a lot of luck though being paired with good teammates for the past 10 games, bringing my win streak to 10. Hopefully this will last until I can at least get above 1250.

[quote=Jebus McAzn]10 consecutive ranked wins and you're still not above 1250? I'm a lot more nervous for myself now... T_T[/quote]

[quote=1337azn]You must realize I started at 817 elo![/quote]

[quote=hypershatter][quote=Jebus McAzn] 10 consecutive ranked wins and you're still not above 1250? I'm a lot more nervous for myself now... T_T [/quote] i had 13 consecutive wins with anivia. only good for +120 elo? and i really dont agree with dont play support. cheap, yes i mean cheap ass characters like taric and janna carries u faster than any other characters simply because in the situation where everyone is a noob support, cheap ass characters make their team "unkillable". of course a noob ass janna might as well be 0 elo.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]you could say the same for a great tank a good shen player can single-handedly carry an entire team out of low elo IF ONLY HE WASN'T BANNED ALL THE TIME[/quote]

[quote=ExamplePrime]Rammus, Shen, Amumu, Malphite or Mordekaiser Any of the four super tanks make life easy and Morde can carry games himself at a low enough elo I would advise Udyr but I keep seeing people play Udyr so badly[/quote]

[quote=Scrax][quote=Jebus McAzn] 10 consecutive ranked wins and you're still not above 1250? I'm a lot more nervous for myself now... T_T [/quote] 1 loss requires you to win two times to outmatch that loss of rating. Sad, sad, sad.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=PFP] Take mid & boss everyone around. Call MIA for EVERYONE and every lane. Ping repeatedly, and type vigorously. You have to expect your teammates to be retarded and you have to expect to carry them. And by carrying I don't just mean player skill, but also leadership skill and even typing skill. Always tell them what to do, but don't be too mean about it. Be effective and constructive. Instead of saying "Why are you over there?!!! you fucking noob!". Say: "It would help more if you came mid and pushed with the team." Leading your team to victory comes in many different aspects, not just pure skill. You can't complain if your mid with 15/0/0 stats and you're still losing.[/quote] I couldn't have said it better myself. This is what I try to do all the time, but it's often annoying to have to write all the time..[/quote]

[quote=Mowen][quote=Jebus McAzn] you could say the same for a great tank a good shen player can single-handedly carry an entire team out of low elo IF ONLY HE WASN'T BANNED ALL THE TIME [/quote] He's not banned all the time in low elo games. :) I've been playing 1200-1400 and have been able to play him most of the time, and yes I have the best win ratio with him. He tanks LIKE A BOSS.[/quote]
