re: Official League of Legends Thread

You mean the rift bugs?

With Randuin's Nerf... Shyvana and Tryn are gonna be gods again. I might decide to jungle them if they make it through, but they both have their drawbacks. (Poor ganks, Poor clear times).

I've got a decent Orianna, a pretty good Vayne, and I can jungle with Nocturne, Eve, Elise, Rammus, Jax, Shyvana, Xin, & Vi.

Am I ready for ranked?
Or should I pick up a few other Mid/ADC roles?

I have a feeling that I need to work on support.

I'm not sure I want to play ranked. Part of me would rather just have fun in normals than get put into Bronze or Silver and have to make the grind to Gold.
I don't really have the time to put in the games to grind through levels. I've seen how long it takes Pro players to climb, and that'll take me forever.

Dude just play ranked . If you are good enough to make gold then you will get there. I find ranked to be more fun than normals anyways.

How many normal's wins do you have?

225. That's about since the end of Sept last year when I started playing. Probably <400 total games.

I'm not sure I am, but that's what I think would be a reasonable goal given the time I have available to play. I wouldn't want to get stuck in a lower tier bracket, b/c it would just increase the difficulty to get to my goal.

It's not that I think I'm better than Bronze/Silver players.
It's just that once I start down that path, forever will it dominate my destiny.

Play about 150 more wins.

So, another 6 months at my current pace.... or basically until Season 5.

Or..... now.

This is the question I was actually asking....

Ideally, you should probably have about 3 champs you are good with in each position. Obviously you may not be the greatest adc, if you prefer top or w.e

Don't be afraid to play ranked, and don't be afraid to be put in bronze. I started in B5 and Im now at sil5. I think playing ranked is better for learning anyways, just get over the trolls and ragers and you'll be fine.

Ranked is one of those things where it's easy to get upset at how you're ranked, your LP gain/loss, etc...

Look at it this way.. We expect that, to be the best and fly through the ranks, we MUST have some inane 70-80% win percentage.

Go look at the Challenger rankings...Sneaky, WildTurtle, Vasilii, the top 3 ranked challenger players, have right around 60% win percentage (Turtle and Vasilii actually have sub 60%)

If you're gaining 25 LP per win and losing 20 LP per loss, it's going to take a while, but it weeds out the players who go on streaks, get carried, etc... and at the end, you have people who genuinely are dominant at the game ranked highest.
