Soft ELO Reset confimed for Season 2

I'd like to throw in my two cents. I found myself down to 1050 with a friend hovering around 900. What did we do?

1. Duo-queue (Optional, as you tend to be put with/against other duo-queuers). Never admit to duo-queuing as it tends to cause a lot of dissension though (I don't understand why, even if you aren't laning together there's still an unfortunate stigma attached to it)

2. Take lead roles -- jungler and carry. This helps you control the game more actively early on, when your team's moral is most influenced (Starting out ahead and then falling behind is much more winnable than starting from behind).

3. Assume leadership role as Carmine stated above.

4. Buy wards as Carmine mentioned

5. If you're first pick, ask your team for ban preferences. Be willing to pick more vital champions first and trade them down.

6. Always strive to improve your minion-score.

7. Never surrender before you've lost a fully engaged 5v5 teamfight and lost at least one inhibitor. (Even then I like to play games out till the end unless the enemy team is snowballing out of control).

/2cents

Pretty much this, I honestly don't play ranked ever, so I forgot to mention duo queuing and such. I will probably just play up to my ten matches for the skin. I like a more laid back game where the main goal is having fun, not winning. I also already have a pretty high unranked ELO, which lets me have more challenging games and better teammates, I would have to work that up all over again in ranked.
 
you know. even if you're the most skilled out of all 10 players playing the game, you can still lose. how? its a team game. it really doesn't matter how well you do you can't 5v1. it isn't who has the best team, its who has the worst that determines games.

so if you have 4 really bads because you are 1 good, vs 5 bads, which is likely because MM tries to even out your skill level right, so if you're raising up in elo from winning a couple since you're vs all bads, you'll be given even worse people since you can 'carry' them to the win.
so again if you have 4 really bads and you, vs 5 bads you can still lose just as any other game.

sure you can do your best to do it all yourself, or even try to basically teach people how to play the game so they cooperate etc but this is very situational.

i've had plenty of games where i've gone like 21/3/10 and still lose because my team just won't listen etc etc blah blah. you can't win this game solo, you cannot always carry 4 really bad players, even if you are facing off vs bad players. ELO hell exists completely. im not in it, but i can see how people are.

that being said, after hundreds upon hundreds of ranked games, i think you should be able to get to the level you're supposed to be. so if you're still stuck around 1k elo after 400+ ranked games played, yes thats probably where you deserve to be. NOBODY has that bad of luck
 
ive carried my way out of 1000 elo, if u dont wanna be below 1200 play carrys that can 2 or 3v1 in situations, ashe annie urgot. u master 2 ad 2 ap carrys u will bust through 1300 1400 with out a problem ive had 10 game losing streaks and 10 game win streaks. its all about how well u do, there is no elo hell. u get bad players at every level. i mean look at grakis or how ever u spell it, 2000 elo player, trolls harder than 1000 elo players,
