Welcome Back Guys!

After entering S6 it personally got much better with ranked solo. I must admit dynamic queue really has it, no more lobby flaming (at least only a little), and people try to stay focused on their role. Only a few times people trolled and did not want to play their 2nd role.

So let´s see, I will play more ranked again. Seems to have lost it´s negative aura for me.

So this is the last ranked I played in solo q.

• There are a random number of choices why people on your team throw the game
• It is not possible to get enough motivation out of the few games I won
• It is also not possible to carry AGAINST a team of ignorant cowboys
• The old citation "there are 5 bad players on the other team, but only 4 on your, so you can win" leaks truth. Statistically it is a little bit different: "There are UP TO 5 bad players, ..." - in normal games, at least 1 or 2 players are on par or even better on the other team...

Promo-Time

Yes it´s promo time today. I don´t tell you to which divison ;)

A few words on my opinion about hidden ELO and divisons. When I started to play ranked there were already the new divisions in place, so I can´t speak about how it was before. But I can understand that Riot took this step. Too many people are just looking on a single performance score and have serious problems with loosing ELO points and descending in the ladder.

But, somehow, the divisions did not really solve this problem fully:

• You still get frustrated if you fall through a whole...

The late game believers...

Have you seen that? The enemy is leading with twice as much kills as your team around minute 15 or so.. .and then everybody starts believing in "late game" success... let me clarify this: THERE WILL BE NO LATEGAME!

The enemy just finishes off around minute 25 or so. And your team continues feeding of course. So when there will be time to build for a lategame advantage??

Check your game status around minute 10 and minute 20. My theory: If the enemy is leading by twice the number of kills then the game is lost. This holds true for about 90% of my... Read More
