Too scared to play ranked?

[quote=DuffTime]If you can climb to a decent Elo in normals, you WILL be able to do it again in ranked.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]Duo with someone you trust, and don't stress about it. You win some, you lose some, you go on win streaks, you go on losing streaks. Don't give up, and don't be too hard on yourself. Just relax and play (but try hard :D). Even if for every 19 games you play you only win one more than you lose (10/9), after 500 wins you can be 2k! :D It can take a while, or you can get lucky and get up quickly. But if you are good enough, and with a bit of luck on your side, you [i]will[/i] get up in elo. Your true elo doesn't show until at least 200-300 games or more. Best of luck, and don't give up ^^[/quote]

[quote=A Chubby Baby]play ranked while you are in a good mood. be prepared for others to troll you. be prepared to carry. be prepared to rage. usually, everyone is quite scared to start playing ranked, but im pretty sure it's a common thing, so know you're not the only one. now go play some ranked.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I would just try to take the emotion and drama out of it, and realize that your Elo doesn't matter until it's 2k anyway so it's actually a very plain non-important event that doesn't mean anything and has no significance whatsoever, so treat it accordingly and just play ^_^[/quote]

Step 2: DO DA HOOK CITY EDIT: Step 3: win games[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]I play ranked whenever i tryhard. Whenever i don't tryhard, i play normals. off topic: Do you guys know if it's the TOP rating of the year, or the ending elo that determines if you get the present thingy at the end of the year -------->Scurred of not getting ma present.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Rating at the end.[/quote]

[quote=Klausenheim][quote=Pølsemanden] I play ranked whenever i tryhard. Whenever i don't tryhard, i play normals. [/quote] A thousand times this. The problem in ranked is players who hit 30, and then play nothing but ranked. They troll in ranked, they tryhard in ranked, they play characters for the first time in ranked. Don't be one of those people. Imagine League of Legends is like a mullet. You keep the business in the front (Ranked), and keep the party in the back (normals). Don't mix your hair up man. Don't mix your hair up.[/quote]
