Views: 1019 Plans for ranked
|
It would seem I'm always stuck in the jungle although I prefer mid. I'm ok with this though so from now on I will probably be playing more jungle in normals as well. If I am not jungling I will most likely be playing mid as Akali as I find her to do really well against most mids. I have a friend who will be playing top when we duo que and if he can't he'll probably be jungling while I do mid or support. At all cost I will not be AD carry since I'm terrible with them. If my friend ever wants to jungle and someone has called mid I will probably take top.
My junglers: Nocturne, Lee Sin, Kayle, Malphite, Fiddlesticks, Shaco
My mids: Akali, Ahri, Kassadin, Fiddlesticks, Katarina, Ryze, Kennen, Vladimir, Annie
My tops: Irelia, Lee Sin, Kayle, Akali, Malphite, Kennen, Vladimir, Garen
My supports/tanks: Soraka, Janna, Alistar, Poppy
Anyway my plan is to control the two most important lanes IMO. Top lane and mid. If I can't get mid I'll use someone in the jungle who can gank early to secure mid for my team. This way we'll have only bot to worry about which I'll help out when I'm not helping mid. Since my friend is a great top I don't feel any need to visit him so by jungling I can help the two lanes I'm worried about. If I were to AD carry I would not be able to control the game as well and would have to rely on my team which I have NO intentions of doing.
Anyway that's my plan on how to control the game so that hopefully we come out winning most of the time. Friend goes top and I jungle/mid.

people will flame if you fail often :(
LoL I've noticed that. People love to flame blitz even if he's doing really well.
I just mentioned blitz cuz he is super easy to carry with even at my elo currently 1700
but well.. he is kinda hard to learn and frustrating and people will flame if you fail often :(
@Psi: Yeah I agree with you completely I was just putting everyone I have whether I'll likely play them or not. Like Annie. I'm never gonna play her, just putting her down as an option. and about that edit at the end. That's exactly what I'm saying. With my friend top and me in jungle or mid we can control those two lanes. basically in most games at my elo if you win mid they'll surrender anyway lol.
@koksei: I want to get Taric before I get blitz, and probably Leona too. But before all that I'll be getting Fizz. Mid and top are the lanes I play the most so I gotta prioritize my purchases.
I would still guess that he's effectively permabanned at the level MyRepublic will be playing at, since he's just starting ranked. Not saying he'll never get to play Shaco, but he shouldn't plan on maining him. He's far too unreliable.
I wouldn't count on Shaco even if he wasn't banned. He just isn't a solid pick. The only reason he's been banned so much in solo queue is because everyone is afraid their teammates are going to completely derp and feed him.
Or they think he's OP. :P
EDIT: Btw, duo queue is basically the same as soloqueue, just with 20% less derp. In general you're going to be more successful (especially in low elo) by securing mid and top in duo queue. A strong AP carry and bruiser can carry a game much better than a strong bot lane, assuming the rest of your team is completely terrible (which they often are :( ).
Ah well.. for soloQ probably but usually bot is the most important one.
I'd suggest picking up Blitzcrank as a support since he is really strong if played right.
@Psi:
Shaco is rarely banned at least in my elo atm.
But in low elo he was perma banned that's right
Fiddlesticks is not a strong pick in lane or jungle. You might win some games against teams that aren't careful enough with their warding or find the occasionally favorable lane matchup, but I wouldn't recommend using him as a ranked pick.
Shaco is banned a lot. Don't count on him. It might depend on your elo, but he's been nearly permabanned for a long time. I wouldn't set your hopes on getting him. His late game is also atrocious.
Kassadin is often banned, though tbh he really shouldn't be. He's quite easy to counter with an AD mid like Pantheon. I wouldn't recommend picking him before you see their mid unless you're REALLY confident in your Kass skills.
Katarina seems like a sketchy pick to me. Imo she's one of the toughest AP carries to pull off against a competent team. She's too easily shut down if you just jump in and ult. You really have to know what you're doing and rely on shunpo to make plays. I wouldn't trust myself to play Kat in ranked. If you're not sure about her, find someone more reliable.
I don't consider Garen a good top laner. I'd go with one of your other options if possible.
Poppy is a medoicre jungler, a poor support and sometimes a good solo top. Just don't support with her.
Other than the champions I mentioned, you seem to have a solid lineup for a variety of roles. Good luck in ranked!
