I forgot the most important about ranked. You need to bbe able to play decently at least 1 champ of each role (AD carry, solo top, AP carry, jungle and support). As said above, you'll sometime need to play what your teams lack.
I've been thirty for MONTHS, and frankly I have no intentions of playing ranked until I've got about 700 wins. The last hundred will be strictly draft pick.
As far as the tribunal is concerned, don't be an ******* and you'll be fine. Normals is for learning champs and ranked is for when you want to test yourself on characters you can play pretty well so you'll be fine.
Second, IMO, don't start playing ranked before you have more than 200 wins in normal games and a positive ratio (more win than loses). By doing these 2 things, you'll be much more experienced and prepared to play ranked games. You'll enjoy them a lot more this way, trust me.
Third, as Mastarwe said, there are A LOT of players who don't play ranked games, for many reasons. No one forces you to play ranked games as soons as yuou get lvl 30.
You don't have to play ranked if you don't want to ^^ There are plenty of people not playing soloqueue ranked because of the atmosphere. On the other hand there are also plenty of people who think that rating is everything and can't understand what the first group means.
I'm part of the first group if you hadn't guessed it yet :P
I was really good with ad.
Because sometimes you will need to be, what the team wants you to be.
I do plan on doing at least the placement matches, but after I buy/learn some more champions.
(feels like I need more solo AD/jungler practice)
