Is ranked even worth the time? I've played around 50 matches and have come to the conclusion that people who play ranked only care about positive scores and winning. I literally facepalm when I see my team pick trynadramere,ashe, and ez all at the same time. I know dps are pretty much the only ones who get kills in ranked,but it's ridiculous when 2 or 3 people choose carry.
Yet when I play normal, I get nice balanced teams with a bit of Crowd-control and tankiness.

Uh, that doesn't make much sense o_O
you should always aim to have a balanced team comp; play what your team needs; but a lot of the time, especially in low-mid Elo, a team composed of a lot of tanky deeps/carries can win games. A lot of people pick carries, and that is fine; just fill in the needed roles, or play a carry/tanky DPS yourself (can never go wrong with a tanky deep)
Carries and tanky DPSs win games.
Supports help win games. But, if you are supporting a bad carry, you aren't of as much use.
Just keep that in mind.

I disagree, especially after the support changes I feel a support can have a much bigger influence on the lane and the game in general. If you do well you can actually make the worse carry win the lane.
Last few ranked matches I've been playing Soraka alot and winning bottom lane pretty consistently even with horrible carries and usually also winning the game because of it. I even noticed I'm winning games more consistently playing a decent support than I am playing a good jungler ._.

Don't get him wrong, supports can be a great help. but if in 30 minutes, your cat gets 20 minions and 1 assist you aren't going to win. nothing you can do about that.

That's just it, riot listens to ******s and doesn't test shut properly and things end up being like completely broken. The way they balance the game is imbalances.
Most brutal change done to champs are often based on high elo player or poeple who win tournements. Trynd and morde were respectively revamp and nerf bassed on that. I do understand that some change feel unfair or stupid from some poeple's point of view but this game is the most balanced moba you can find and that is thanks to constant patches and update that aime to balance the high elo ranked game play. It is true that some champ seems unbalance in teams and games that don't follow such structurs but no game is perfect.

When you solo que it's the best to pick heroes to carry the team..if you cant carry that means you need more practise at that hero so what my tip is is to practise a lot at 3-4 heroes and know how they roll.You have to totally dominate in the game since you dont know if your mates are bad or good so dont start ranked games till you get down with practise, watch some high elo games see how some champions are played and have fun pwning!

Learn to carry with everybody. That way, you can always take over when your Carry fails. :P
Also, learn to master the top bans and figure out exactly why they are banned. That way, one day when somebody forgets to ban one of them, you can punish them for it.

They obviously dont test well enough. They've nerfed characters to the ground and left them that way for many many months before and haven't gotten aroun to them for quite a while. Jax used to be complete *** shot for a LOOOOONG time where he was nerfed from his overpowered state. They buffed him, recently people learne how to play him, and riot was like "oh **** people know what to do with Jax! Better make him weaker!" Irelia was in this situation, too. Sorry for going completely off topic.
Like i said, it is what it is.
If you feel that a champion is OP/UP then the best course of action is to go to the forums and state your reasons.
