I hit ranked as soon as I hit level 30 and I've never looked back.

:)

I'd only recommend that if you're a quick learner though.

I'd say 500 wins is a good benchmark for when ppl start getting good at the game (usually).

I like to play some ranked games, if I feel like I'm not doing well enough I take a break and play normals to get better, then try again!

My #1 tip is quit after a loss, you will just keep losing. I'm serious.


I have 320 and something wins and play rankeds when I feel like it

And that last tip isnt true, I lost the first, won the second and third


Ranked is just like a normal game, but people take it seriously, like they are going to be the best one day and be rich, earn a prize. People think that you are only good if your ELO is high
Thats all lies. You'll only get rich and earn prizes if you play everyday and at least 3 rankeds, and keep wining. ELO says nothing, its a broken system with trolls around

As long as you have everything you need to accomplish and do well in ranked, use your judgement.

If you have every rune you need by 250 wins, go ahead. Some people can pubstomp with 2 or 3 champions so they only need to buy runes for those champions. Others can play 10 champions well but not pubstomp, so they should enter ranked later.

I don't even know wtf i'm saying anymore, so basically just enter ranked when you have runes and consistently do well with champions...

I'm at almost 200 wins at the moment and I still don't feel comfortable enough for ranked.

Do it when YOU feel comfortable.

You never know unless you try.

Amen.

Make sure you know how to play 4-5 champions very well (and I mean it, VERY well). Make sure you can play top, mid, or bottom (or/and jungle) too since the players you play with may not be flexible as you are. Have rune pages for all of those champions that you are good at. Know your role, your spot, how to watch the minimap at all times, now to make good decisions, builds, etc.

I had 200 wins on my last account before I led it to my cousin, and about 150 on this one, and I started ranked for the first time on my new account once I hit 30. I'm currently 6-2, and honestly, there's no difference from ranked and normals. You'll find the same annoying people or great people.

A good advice is: keep your head up and don't flame other people. Be positive and play your own game. I've had teams that were down by 25 kills, but we managed to outpush the other team and win the whole game because our team composure was better than theirs.
