Season 6 starts today bois. Get your butts ready for placements! Used pre-season to whip myself back into shape. I'm looking forward to this season.

And I've already had an afk in my placements. That didn't take long. Left at level 1 and never came back. 2-2 so far.

I got placed sup and went Brand with Ashe first game. Started 8-0-8 between us bot lane and had an 0/10 Yas mid on our team, we eventually lost.

Got invaded second game as Ren jng and never recovered, all lanes lost, was a beat down.

Started 0-2 in placements... it will get better.. it will get better..

I need to work on my secondary role, I selected mid-fill. I main mid most of the time and got my secondary each game this morning. Will probably start selecting mid-sup or mid-adc.

Zed->Brand->Swain are my 3 mids I am going to roll with for mid, and probably Morgana-Brand for sup.

Is Blitz easy to pick up on if I want to pick him as sup? I have minimal experience with him.

I'd recommend Sona & Soraka for new players learning the support role.

During season 5, 90% of the time a lane got dumpstered in a game I was in, it was mid lane (usually a yas or zed).

I need to start playing again. Stopped for like 2-3 weeks and I feel like I missed so much.

Champs:
Nami
Tahm
Trundle

He's fun, but is useless pre6. Rammus red buff lvl3 ganks are deadly.

If I ever go top or mid it will be malphite and ziggs

ziggs


I like me some Ziggs.

Top: Nasus, Renekton, Lulu (if team lacks AP)
Jungle: Vi, Skarner
Mid: Ziggs, Orianna, Ahri
ADC: Lucian, Jinx, Tristana
Support: Serviceable with pretty much any of them (except Zyra, Zilean, or TK)

I like to play Tryn or Teemo top, but they generally aren't good for team comps so I try to avoid playing as them in ranked.

You've missed the new champ select hype while uve been gone. Only need to pick 2 roles for ranked

Unless you choose fill, or dynamic queue with bubbz team and go where we tell you

The new champ select is pretty nice.

How do they pair you when you queue with others in ranked with the new draft system?

A friend of mine who plays said they always paired you with stronger players when you duo queued last season (not sure the truth behind it)

Does it also affect where you are placed if you play 10 games with a premade?

Pretty sure the duo queue leading to stronger players thing was true


Dunno how it's done now since it's new. The plan is to match dynamic queue teams against each other. 5 v5, 4v4 etc. For solo queue in 2 weeks it will probably be a similar system to last year. The role selection in champ select will make a difference tho.

I think placements are based off your starting and ending MMR. If you beat ppl with high MMR you will place high. If u lose to ppl with low MMR a lot you will place low. It's fuzzy and not documented anywhere.

Ranked will have a DynamicQ (one or more than one) and a SoloQ (only you, no duos). MMRs will be separate and not affect one another.

If you play dynamic with a group, the system pairs your group against a team with an equally matched number pre-made. So if you have 3 in a group and 2 solos, you play against 3 grouped and 2 solos. It's not 100% but it's like >95% of the time.

I played a few with it (non ranked). I like it so far for the couple of games I've played.

Am I correct in saying the new ranked doesn't have invite limitations? As in, you can do a ranked game with yourself and 4 friends if you want? (non 5's)

You can play ranked with 5 friends. Only limitation is that they must be within one full Tier up or down. So if you are Silver 3, you can invite anyone as high as Gold 3 and as low as Bronze 3. Higher or lower can't join.

That is correct.

There will be a true solo queue in a few weeks though

But for now we have dynamic queue . If I play with 4 friends and win, then play with 2 friends and lose, the same ranked mmr/lp/elo is affected
