I do about as well as I can do in Solo and I do believe it is time to move onward... any suggestions? finding a stable 5 man group that can get along, not argue/complain, learn together, lose together, win together.. all equally skilled so no one feels they have to look for a new team cause their too good or are dragging the team down, that gets a long and most importantly learns and discusses strategies(cause that's what really puts you over the top once you get your char down)... there is no such thing :d | ||

Is there some trick to this game I'm missing? Regardless of hero I can't even come close to an even score. I'm getting ridiculed in chat for how terrible I am. | ||

Always be with someone unless you're solo mid, play defensively if you have to. If you get dove by a xin/shaco/garen, welcome to balance, otherwise you should die minimally. Learn to last-hit so you wind up with more spending money in the early game - if you feel like you're not comfortable adding enough by yourself, try a hero like Zilean, Janna or Twisted Fate for the global bonus. Don't be afraid to get survivability in the mid/late game on a DPS hero if it means you stay alive. 10% hp tankier DPS does more dps than dead better geared DPS. If all else fails, play Soraka and ride your R to victory in lowbie games! | ||

Or pick WW and complain when you get raped after you ult and blame everything on the guy you left 1v2ing. Also <3 hybrid Sion. I can only manage to sneak him in the team when I don't have to jungle/1v2 but it just feels soooooooooooooooooo sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet... I basically play him once every 1-2 days and I always make at least 1 opponent rage. Played him twice today and made 3 ppl rage, that must have been a special offer. | ||

Getting sick of that shit. I swear there are just teams that are not on the same page as me from the start. They just happy to sit back and not be aggressive whatsoever, then i get blamed when I die trying to get a kill (when they are running the fuck away...) Its like, as soon as we lose map control my WW just utterly fails to do anything. Cant jungle, cant lane without getting ganked. Cant farm with team cause they steal much needed kb's. I dunno anymore.. | ||

If I get ganked early and then again, with teammates running all over the place farming my jungle instead of holding their damn lanes, i have no way to recover. Getting sick of that shit.

I dunno anymore.. Do you have problems winning? Just pick Garen. EDIT: And if you like solo queue, learn junglers. Warwick, Udyr and Amumu can all carry like crazy. If it's normal mode, just spam Shaco and win every single game without any effort. Then theres the ultimate noob basher Ezreal. Oh right, and a solo queue monster Nasus. You build tank on him and he out-DPSes almost everything while doing a million AoE DMG and never dying. | ||

Playing a jungler implies that at least one guy on your team won't suck monkey balls, and that lost me almost as many games as it has won... Play something that doesn't die, Chogath, Sion, Garen, to an extent Taric and Vlad are both good options, even though Taric feels like a real waste in the modern 3-semitank teams. | ||

Granted the top players will eventually rise up, but many more good players will simply stop trying to drag ass through hell and actually look for a group. | ||

But Taric is a semitank himself? He's actually perfect for the current gameplay, borderline impossible to kill, hard disable, heal, stun, tower pushing ult. Awesomesauce. | ||

No, playing as a jungler it doesn't really matter if one guy in your team sucks monkeyballs, you must be doing something wrong. | ||

I've decided not to play soraka in games at my level, everybody is either - An idiot, no point healing them - A newbie, same - A smurf, they're going to curb stomp the opposing team anyway Basically I'm not gonna waste my time buffing people who are as bad as I am | ||
