I've actually been keeping a journal with my ranked games and notes in it, in an attempt to better myself, and I think it's working. I store my game data, immediate impressions, and advice to myself in it after games, with intent to look back over notes in downtime. Has anyone tried something similar, to their success? I know watching replays are a popular way to improve, but I don't think my crappy HP laptop and inconsistent home internet would allow gaming and recording at the same time very well. | ||

Being able to deal with other players is very important, as is dodging. You lose no MMR when you dodge, so when people talk shit and flame each other and pick troll champions, just go ahead and dodge. Another thing would probably be being able to deal with camping properly, though this depends on the lane. For example the last game I was camped really hard by the enemy jungler but despite falling slightly behind managed to come back strongly later on in the game. It's important to know what's worth what. Sometimes when you're far behind and like 0-7 it might be worth it to just go suicide while farming as many minions as you can because you're worth about the same as a single minion to the enemy. Then again I could also be talking total nonsense, who knows. Oh right and don't pick Fiora, she's a useless champion who cannot carry(riot buff pls). | ||

Problem is playing with IRL friends though - can't ditch em but none of em are high enough to duo queue with so I end up just trolling norms  lol. | ||

Friend of OWB is a friend of mine. =] I did something similar back in S2 and gained 200ish elo over a month or so. | ||

Old man craton used to keep records of his games. But he stopped quite a while ago. I think depending on your skill level, most mistakes are more so mechanical errors, and less so bad strategy. Don't know how important records really are until you're mechanically good. | ||

I really liked him at BW, he had a lot of potential, too, but he came too late to enjoy a greater amount of success. Man, why didn't Stork switch, too? LoL would be perfect for him. Could play cellphone games while waiting for Queue/Scrims all day. | ||

Second player to transition successfully from BW/SC2 -> LoL in Korea after Watch. So much for sC/CoCa/Puzzle attempting (back to SC2) or Min/Inori/Brave (who haven't been seen since). | ||

It's pretty crazy, but I guess it's part of the reason they have such a huge lead in LoL. These guys must have a lot of pressure on them to perform. It's really interesting though, especially if that Grape really is the one from BW -edit- gah that ninja. Really cool to see! | ||
