Quoted:

Call the lane you are best at.
"MID OR FEED"

Sure, you might sound like a ****head, but if it's your strongest role, then play it.

"XXX or feed" is actually one of the quickest ways to LOSE Elo, it makes you seem like you can only play one thing and aren't experienced, gives your team the message your not open to cooperation, and generally makes you come off as immature.

The best way to get Elo is to know at least a few champs in every role (learn the strong easy ones, like taric for support). Tell your team which lane you want and respect what OTHERS want. If a lane on your team is open maybe YOU should take it. Yes sometimes when people call lanes they lose and are bad, but generally if they were calling it, it was there best lane. I got to 1500s in ranked maining top. If my team had someone a little lower then me want top sometimes I would take a different role like mid as I know I can handle myself in all the roles I'm not sure if others can. Gaining Elo is mastering champions and being willing to adapt to your teams needs.

I just say it so I can get the role I want, but I am usually the "filler" in my elo..

Play aggressive as ****, people at low ELO don't know how to retaliate.

Early aggression works on some roles, like mid. I usually do it if I know I can win the trade, and slowly bully them until they zone themselves. If my mana is good and I have some sort of AoE field, I might even throw it in just as they move to CS. The tradeoff is that sometimes this may go wrong (like you suddenly lose a trade hard)

If you're below 1400, play fotm champions or just champions that snowball very well.
For top lane: Jax, Irelia, Akali
Mid lane: Katarina, Diana, Evelynn, Gragas
AD carry: Graves, Ezreal, Corki (Vayne if you're feeling manly)
Jungle: Lee Sin, Nocturne, Alistar

Avoid playing support at all cost.

If you're comfortable playing above mentioned AD carries, stick to them. I found them to be really really good at carrying lower Elo's.

Once you start getting higher, try and stick to one or two main roles, with 2-3 champions of each role.

Gragas is a solid choice for low elo.

-He has a great escape mecanism (his E)
-Nice damage on his q
-Hes a great farmer with bodyslam + Q
-Great sustain in lane with passive + W
-Tanky with his W
-Great range on Q
-Can really disrupt the enemies with his ult
-Lots of dmg on his ult and its impossible to miss
-Great for ganks with his ult
