Going Ranked

[quote=Katjoesja]So I have been lvl 30 for a while now and I am seriously thinking about playing Ranked games. But I'm not sure if I should (can only play solotop, Urgot and AP mid properly) because I don't want to end up in ELO hell straight away. What do you think I should do? Practice some Draft games first or just go for it? And how did you guys go ranked? http://www.lolking.net/summoner/euw/22720098#profile Here are my statistics if you need them.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]You might consider getting your normal ratio positive first.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Practising in draft normal is a good first step. Just approach it as if it were ranked and try to counterpick. If you find yourself unable to counterpick enemies with champs you play well 9 times out of 10, you probably need more experience.[/quote]

[quote=Kiaat]also you need at least 16 champions, cause it could be the case that 6 of them get banned and 9 of them are already chosen. And not to forget you need to know how to play every role!! That means learn to jungle/support/tank/carry/middleing and go for sure you're good in skill-shots[/quote]

[quote=Protocol]-Need- 16, but you -MUST- know at least 20-30 for different situations.[/quote]

[quote=Dypheus][quote=Protocol] -Need- 16, but you -MUST- know at least 20-30 for different situations. [/quote] But imo you can also master 2 champs for each roll. But atleast you should play (esspecially populair champs) a couple of times to understand their mechanics[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]I can only play 3 champs properly and i'm 1500 elo trolololol. Well tbh. I play ranked when i play serious, and play normals when i'm watching tv, doing homework, chatting, i also use it for testing guys wether or not to duo-q. U can do it whenever u want to really... It will be around ur skill-level after 50'ish games. So i play ranked for serious play, and play normals elsewhere. Don't be affraid of ending in elo-hell, because u're already there. If u're bad, u will end <1000 if you're good u will end >1500. Just like ur normal elo, this will match u with equal opponents and equal enemies.[/quote]

[quote=Xaioli][quote=DuffTime] You might consider getting your normal ratio positive first. [/quote] This. Not to sound like a doucher but you should take normals a bit more seriously and learn some things from Norms before you step into the tryhard land of Ranked. I understand there are trolls in Normals but they're less common in Draft Mode compared to Blind. :)[/quote]

I know a lot of people who just do blind pick and there's definitely lots to gain from playing draft, be it player strategy or simply counter picking.[/quote]
