Guinea Pigs don't have the personality of a cat or dog though, I don't want something that just sits in a cage.

Bit late, but sorry Scip. You played pretty well overall IMO (didn't catch much of you on Nunu but wasn't terrible...), but that bot lane was just bad.

If you think that gps don't have personalities and just sit in a cage I must say you don't deserve to have one of those majestic creatures in your life.

there is no rule because there was no solo q for dota (that matched you with the best players) you had to play inhouse leagues or whatever to get good games. You can play solo q and climb the ladder and play with the best players that way. There has been no case where a bunch of players who sucked at solo q dominated as a team. even the case everyone touts as diamondprox beign 1700, by the time m5 had their first tournament diamondprox was rank 3 in EUW solo q or osmething with 70%~ winrate

Thats a culture thing though. correlation =/= causation. Solo queue is often viewed as the only way to play seriously in league of legends outside of actual tournaments.

it took me like 2 weeks of really really painful soloQ just to regain the knowledge I had and get back to the point where I was before I started playing with them.

Well Scip, you're someone who I'd consider a fairly successful solo queue player who's more or less reconciled yourself with the mindset required to be successful in solo queue.

There are a lot of LoL players who play ranked who are not this way, and will never be this way, and if they're getting ragey and frustrated every solo queue game, they're not going to improve quickly either.

I think people without the right solo queue mindset; isn't going to bring the right mindset in 5's either. Still going to blame others, and not accept any of their own faults.

if you don't understand what is your fault when 4 other people agree that something was a mistake. then playing solo queue isn't going to help that person. that guys just a dick. it doesn't mean the 4 other people should give up and go to solo queue.

or the 4 people are wrong, as they so often are
especially when they don't know anything about the subject, which happens quite often, especially if the subject is something like, hmmmm, JUNGLING
when they all laners

so if you know you are right, then you can provide proof, and evidence and explanations to your team. if you aren't doing that and having a full conversation and doing your best to explain and inform, then you aren't doing your job properly.

this is why teams sit down and watch replays and talk over things.

I don't know about anyone who didn't get into progaming by rapping soloQ
People say diamondprox was recruited when he was 1700 elo but he probably got vouched for by Genja BECAUSE he rapped pretty damn hard in them soloQs.

IF we created a game where the community only way to do better was to do a trials mode when you get the best score+time with random players involved. do you think that coordinating as a team would still be worse than that?

You should check out complexity's CoD team. They were the only group of people who actually sat down and practiced as a team, instead of just solo queuing and matchmaking. none of them were particularly good matchmaking players, but they practiced as a team and dominated dreamhack.

hi, guy that was bashed here, apparently there's about 40 pages that have cropped up since I went to sleep and then woke up and got on here... I hope its not expected that I read every single post in between occasions coming in here.

I've received a ridiculous amount of support after the fact, so I thank you guys for that.

I'm actually surprised that no one here is from TLHoN, where I learned the most about Dota in the constant inhouses with top level players...

I admit, I'm likely spoiled when it comes to practice in SC2 where having those handful of contacts allows you to practice solely in customs; the last months I had of fulltime SC2 were about 80/20 custom/ladder... but can you blame me for trying? Is learning faster really a 'shortcut' to be ashamed of? I hold firmly that efficiency is key.

Not everyone is looking to get into progaming. Ofc nobody ended up as a progamer just playing normals/ranked 5s, but being serious about improving does not necessarily mean that's your goal. And for something in between I don't think that you won't see improvement playing things other than solo queue if you enjoy them more.
