I know it's a little more exp, but does it hit a certain level earlier with than wolves ->blue? Is it about positioning that you say, hit level 3 or 4 at a better spot on the map? Well, Mao's insta-wraith clear => blue => wolves => wraiths lets him hit L3 (so all his skills) when he's close to midlane and both midlaners are L2, allowing a fairly brutal gank if the enemy isn't playing safe. | ||

There's going to be a lot of people running aroun with Bronze solo queue icons and Diamond forum badges n' shit. there won't be a ton of diamond badges. right now solo queue 2200 is top 500 players. might be more from ranked 5s but i wouldn't guess more than 1000 people get diamond this season. also prepare for more greifing and terrible play now that people will have this excuse: "doesn't matter, my high elo is gold/plat/diamond, i don't have to win this game i still get the icon" -> 5zeal Twisted Fate and AP Pantheon games | ||

bronze -> silver = border in game load screen silver -> gold = janna skin gold -> plat = forum badge plat -> diamond = nothing changes except icon i was really hoping they'd have something extra special for the top 500 players (if only so we wouldn't get a smash rant on it this year (hue jk)) | ||

Not to be cocky, but I and many other TL players have plenty of high rated players on their friends list. What is stopping us from just asking them to add me to their defunct high-rated team that they never use just for the rewards? (I don't plan on doing this personally; I'd like to earn my rewards. But I'm just sayin'...) | ||

Actually It'll be the rarest badge I think so it's worth trying. Now to get a pro 5v5 team. | ||

Once you’ve achieved a tier, you’ll have it for good, and playing more games can only help you out. In order to do this, we are resetting Top Rating for all players to their Current Rating and will be using Top Rating to determine end-of-season reward tiers." http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/season-2-rewards-and-ratings-changes | ||

Now to get a pro 5v5 team. you're reading it slightly wrong 2200 is diamond for solo queue, but 1850 is diamond for 3's and 5's. so you'd only need to get 1850 3's and 5's and 2200 solo to get all diamond icons | ||

And then you can invite me to the team to reap the rewards you've earned, amirite? Seriously though I'm going to aim for Gold in all 3 queues. I'm not too far off from getting it in solo/5s. | ||

I play AP mid this came up last season too someone (was it spudboy? maybe brees? it was someone that we trusted!!! they lied to us!!!) was like "don't bother going for plat in solo queue, just get it in ranked 5s, it's super easy" and so a bunch of us started spamming ranked 5s. then someone else on TL pointed out that there were even fewer plat players in ranked 5s. i think there were actually less than 100 in arranged 5s when the season ended. and all of them were like, chauster, hotshot, voyboy, etc etc etc. all literally professional players and as someone who, during season 2, has basically never played solo queue "seriously" or "competitively" and has most of my "real" game experience in ranked 5s... you start getting strictly 2k+ solo queue opponents around 1500-1550 ranked 5s. NOT to say that they're impossible to win. NOR to say that you shouldn't try to go for all badges. just be realistic about your own skill. ranked 5s are hard. a lot of us wasted time last season at the end of the season trying to go for plat in ranked 5s. that's all | ||
