I'm definitely in the top 10% of players. I hate MM. What champs do you play? You might need to play some champs that can have a bigger influence on the game by themselves

Obviously you can't always watch everything, so if you miss something I think it helps to wait until the end of the game to give your feedback if the advice isn't relevant in the rest of the match. I know I keep saying this in this thread, but giving your teammates shit during the game will most of the time just make them tilt and play worse.
Once the game is over, stress levels for all parties are down and I think it's much easier to both give and receive constructive criticism.
On an unrelated note, it's kind of nice to be able to check your opponent's rankings. It made me feel a little less bad about getting destroyed in mid playing Trist vs. Ezreal when I saw that he was top 150 and I'm like in the 2000s.
That is probably the reason why I won't play with "new" players until I get to know them a little better. 9 times out of 10, I know what I'm talking about. And if I have a grievance about what you're doing (whether it be item build, how you're playing, etc), I expect changes to be made. I have no problem with personal play style. But don't mistake play style with faulty game play.
Some people (a lot of people actually), should just be more receptive to advice.

Option 1: Play only Ez or Kayle Option 2: Get a friend who's at your level (top 10% lol ) Option 3: both

Youre doing something wrong man lol, in solo queue i play either ez, tryn, or shaco and Im 1400 rating lol. My teams have been pretty bad some times.

Anyone know when the Snow Bunny Nidalee skin was last purchasable? And if it's going to be sold ever again?

ur prolly running bad but people have to stop saying that is because they dont have a partner. if your "real" elo is 1500. you will get there eventually. if your duo queuing with a partner that has a real elo of 1500 as well you will get there faster. that's all.

Solo q is never really "solo" q. If you want to get highly ranked, you have to have a partner in crime. It will more often than not help off balance the baddies in pug games. Yeah it's kind of disappointing that Riot lets something like this sneak in. They should definitely, at least, have a public statistic tracking how many solo queues have been played with a partner and how many have been truly solo. When the ladder evens itself out solo queue will be fine. The variance is too great at the moment. IMO it's kind of like the normal game solo queue, where guys would say 'well like 80% of my games are solo' which discounts the giant Elo boost you get from those 20% premade games, which help pull you out of 'the vortex' as they call it. I'm not saying it's impossible to get high rating truly solo, but there is just a possibility that you get screwed over, and it can happen fairly often =[. Clearly the best way to handle it, is get a high rating in one of the other brackets so that you get a monster 150+ boost for your first solo queue game. Play that game with a strong partner so you don't waste the possible boost, then you should be in a decent spot to play at 1400+ with much better quality of random teammates. err normal premades give you such shit Elo that unless you've won >95% of premades you're not really gaining much. people got to high Elo in normal games from solo queing... you guys make it seem like the world is against you right now. the law of averages suggests that retards will appear on both teams. but from looking at this thread, 90% of you guys are consistently complaining about how much worse your team is than the other team. maybe you're really not as good as you think? maybe your duo-que isn't as strong? there's no way that all the retard players somehow end up exclusively on TL members' teams. it's just like how everybody (>70%) thought they were "mid-high" Elo before ranked, a statistical impossibility spawned out of individuals severely overrating their skill and impact on the game. edit: notice how inept's undefeated streak ended when i stopped playing with him. get carried more son. 
haha there was nothing you could have done to change either of those games unfortunately.
first game i get dan dinh, zan, and babobaba or w/e and zan/babo go like 1/10 as ashe/sivir dan dinh says "i talk too much" so he starts dicking around too since he's a tool even though i never said one bad thing. hate playing with the big ego "top" players again. my bro actually did pretty well, 4-3-10 with blitz or something despite the game being essentially 3v5.
2nd game was just unbelievable. we faced a twitch/fiddlesticks/amumu/kayle/soraka team with everyone having their mains. Ashart, alley OOP, some random on amumu, snowflake, and the bro respectively.

I kinda have that problem in that I play Karthus who really isn't a char that can wtf pwn 1v5 and carry a bad team vs competent players, Though I do love skill shoting people with LW and killing them. Seriously who stands there and lets you LW them 20x even though they are standing behind creeps and next to the turret?

I'm considering learning Kat solely because she can solo mid and carry.

I've yet to watch a LoL stream that doesn't have completely lagged video during any fights. Can hear the audio but the video stream just stops until most of the fighting dies down. It's not just me either, lots of other people always complaining in the chat.

AAAAARGH. This game I was totally helpless. There is nothing anyone can really do against a jungle Trynd that manages to go 6-0 in 10 minutes. Or a Veigar that beats a Sivir mid, going 3-0 in 10 minutes. Even when you give up the 1v2 lane to Morgana (who misses 4/5 bindings), spend 1/4 your income on wards (that your team fails to utilize), and attempt to coordinate the team (which falls apart).

Huh. Was just getting a win streak going, getting competent teammates, then got to pick Heimer as 4th pick -- pretty exciting. Of course, I'm midding against Nidalee played by Tymed...who apparently just started playing ranked. I actually did fine against him mid (he had a few more CS than me, but not much, and I got in some tower damage), but then he wandered off and raped my teammates and carried.

Okay, I've played with Ez a bit. Went like 3-1 or something.
I hear everyone here say that AD Ez>>>AP Ez, but I'm not seeing it. Mejais --> Lichbane gives me a ton of damage. How is AD Ez built?

He doesn't need any other items than a long sword and later a brutalizer to burst everything to death

I sort of agree with redtooth but I think MM is just plain broken. Like last game my team captain was a lvl 25 with 90 wins and 50 leaves. He picked Fiddle with heal and fortify and said he doesn't like jungling. Everyone went -9 except me ^_^
Or yesterday I 2 man queud with 5hitcombo, we get a ww with heal/ignite saying he will jungle at lvl 2, he feeds the whole game.
I'm not saying I'm some great player but I'm pretty sure I'm better than 1131 elo.
edit: I'm 2-0 in 3v3 arranged and 1-0 in 5v5 arranged if that says anything.

It says you have better friends than luck :3

I had a game where I was 2-1, but our team was 3-27.
17 minutes in.
and I was taric.
I learned my lesson, play carries in solo ranked

both Ez and Kayle are champs that works well in team fight and if your team screw up, you lose. try to play some thing like annie, heim, yi(backdoor style), and through in you list some tanks since your team might need tanks as your turn to pick!!!
most people who are at the last 2 slots in a ranked game forced to picks tanker if the 1st 3 try to play some funky fancy champs so keep noticed!!!
