[DISCUSS] How to get ELO in the SOLO QUEUE?

[quote=Lornful]Is this based off that Fort Minor song? lulz Elo hell is where bad players are. Nothing tricky about it.[/quote]

[quote=EvilDice]honestly if you master 1 champ and play it every game (and have good mechanics, are a smart player), you can get high elo. there are quite a few high elo players who play only twitch... at least 5 i am a very poor example of this btw :P[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]This is a stinky pile of crap :P Skill is obviously, and proven to be the more necessary factor when talking about climbing elo. [quote=EvilDice] best thing ive learned in solo q is to not get an inflated ego. ive made two falls from 1900 back into low 1700s and both times in 1700s i was just like "sup baddies im here to carry you". that just compounded my losses and made the team watch me under a microscope. [/quote] I tell my team I'm a 2300 smurf from Elo heaven there to carry them. Simply because I want to get my top lane, LOL. Working pretty well so far :P You are right though, they watch the SHIT out of your every move. I had to tell a guy in plain English once, "Hi, we have a game to win, and watching what I'm doing, while being very flattering, is not helping us win it. Eyes on the prize babe, you don't climb elo by doing nothing and typing." After the game (We won but just barely) he tried to add me. I guess he believed me :D[/quote]

[quote=Xaioli]I'm sorry and I'm gonna sound really ignorant but I'm 1900 cause I'm lucky l0l. But in all seriousness, I do feel your pain in Solo Queue with leavers and etc. Even people in "high elo" get them so it's not really heaven if that's what you looking for. If you're looking for better players to play or to just get your rating up, then you want to get elo. Really as a 1900 ELO player, I'm just going to be straight up blunt even if it's offending and rude because it honestly needs to be said. If you can't out carry the enemy team, you deserve to lose because they just took advantage of their lane more than you. If you "deserve" to climb elo, you will out carry the enemy team and just treat your enemy laner like a buffet and feast off them. You take your fed self to other lanes and win the lane for your team mates. I unno, sorry if I'm sounding dense but I get confused when people whine about ELO. Like I said earlier, I feel your pain and I definitely feel bad when people DC and etc but raging and etc is all a part of them winning/losing their lane. You gotta just outcarry and win for your team. I tell people, if you truly deserve to be out, take initiative and put the team on your back. Anyways, good luck on Ranked and just stay positive! :p EDIT: Since some people didn't get my perspective on "Skill or Luck", it's "Skill" for the most part mechanically and through knowledge. Ofc luck plays a factor with the occassional DC but that honestly does not happen for the most part.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Well I don't think it's any more rude and offensive than telling a 1900 player he got lucky ;P Anyway, bottom line is skill, and a large time inversion = elo increase. Every time.[/quote]

[quote=xIchi]I still don't understand on how far this has to do with the actual meening of this thread. Ppl talk about 'stay' positive, 'dont cry about your elo' etc. Isn't this thread opened for a discussion about the luck OR skill required to be successful in soloQ to a certain point? And honestly, when I played from the very bottom to the actual so (from most ppl) called 'EloHell'. Luck was the thing everyone needs the most. Certainly, later on, I think around 1700+?, skill is much more important. But again, luck is what the rest of us LoL players need, 95% of us just need it 8D![/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]I win my ranked games by manipulating the other team when one of their teammates do something stupid. In fact, I find that turning an entire team against one player will ultimately set them up to lose. Reason being? They're too busy fighting with each other in chat than they are with stopping me from beating their skulls in. So yeah, they key I use at winning my games isn't from skill, but psychological warfare. If you don't believe me, try it out yourself. You will find your win rate to benefit positively if you play your cards right. :V[/quote]
