So Last season I only managed to hit 1250 before quitting ranked. My goal this season is to get 2000 ELO. Seasons last like a year right? So if I work I imagine it would be possible.

I was wondering, what are some of the champions that TL uses to dominate solo queue? My High elo friends all tell me things like 'Just play ad carries' or 'just play junglers'

Since TL seems to have several gold+ players, what's the champion that you know you can win games with no matter what?

There really is no good answer to this. The only way to win solo q is to just be BETTER than your opponents. Someone like Chauster could carry a game with twitch if he wanted to. The best way to play is just find a champion you can play well and dominate your lane with or dominate the jungle. That doesnt mean you need to play an early game champion, but if you are playing someone geared toward later game, then you need to know how to farm that champion to effectiveness quickly. From there its just knowing how to end the game.

That doesn't mean that there aren't champions that exert more influence over a game though right?

For example, junglers like noct or GP can help win losing lanes, take early map objectives and scales into late game quite exceptionally, whereas playing a passive support like soraka or sona basically depends on the rest of your team (especially your carry) not sucking.

top: garen, galio, lee sin
mid: brand, annie, or malzahar
bot: whatever (i try not to go bot)
jungle: amumu or lee sin


Most people are going to go baaahh galio sucks etc etc, but you really can't "lose" top. Worst case scenerio is you blow up creeps on your tower and teleport into fights to flash ult and win

Well I don't rank on my main so on low elo accounts I just play katarina to gain Elo 8D
but when I was trying to go up in Elo on my main, I just played Nidalee because she was my best champion. Honestly playing what you're best at will win you games. Every champ is viable if you can play it well.

There's a huge lacking of Rumble users on NA. No idea why he never caught on.

All huehue and fun but that doesn't really address what the OP was asking.
Yes Dizzle, you are gud nuff to carry bads with Kat. But if OP can't get gold this season, he probably can't take your "advice" here.

I guess on a more serious note, it's almost impossible to lose with Annie mid if played well.
