And if you tell anyone what to do (through innocent suggestion or violent insistence) it's taken as a sleight and met with at best refusal and at worst trolling. SoloQ mang. SoloQ. | ||

If you really want, being the shotcaller in these inhouses could be a nice experience in terms of figuring out how to lead a team. | ||

You only need one call to be right for your team to trust you in every following call. This is especially easy to do if you main jungle/support because those positions are less mechanically demanding giving you more time to type and tell your team what to do. | ||

So yeah, Neo and I think someone else (wanna say Kissblade, but I might be wrong) really really helped me further understand playing ADC. Not only was I building wrong, but being told how I played ganks incorrectly was really helpful just in terms of game knowledge. Also my silver play got carried a LOT (I was playing so, so badly) which felt great. I think I'm going to try and avoid playing mid in in-houses just because that's the one thing in this game I actually sorta know how to do and I rarely, rarely get mid in soloQ. Will be nice to get better in other positions. | ||

If you really want, being the shotcaller in these inhouses could be a nice experience in terms of figuring out how to lead a team. You aren't going to have the coordination you have in a premade 5's team that you would have in SoloQ. People in SoloQ just aren't in sync, but it's best to just try to communicate and call as many shots as possible. Simply pinging things and typing "This then this" is good enough. From my experience, a lot of players are just looking for something to do (assuming they aren't tied up in trying to get kills for no reason) and they will generally listen to the first idea that is popped out. | ||

It actually looks like you had a spike from a win streak, then regressed to the norm, then had a little losing streak, and have again returned to the norm. Also, no. | ||

You had a tiny winstreak, and then dropped back to where you belong. You don't improve in IH's because you hardly ever listen to advice. People critique you, and you get defensive. You do well when jungler camps the shit out of your lane opponent, and all of a sudden you're the best player in the world. Also I doubt you could outlane even a diamond support main. You might snowball off jungle camping, but I won't believe you're dominating plats/diamonds when you lose to silvers. | ||

Good for you, you beat a couple plats/diamonds. "Utterly dominating" a plat and a diamond does not mean you will beat them every single time. If I remember correctly, you beat 1 diamond and that was because he was practicing a different champ, and everyone else you played basically tore you a new asshole. 2. If you don't think you're improving from these, then don't play in them. Most of us don't like the way you act in these in-houses anyways. 3. If you want to continue playing with us, then start listening to the advice we give you and stop giving us bullshit in return. | ||

- Ingame name TLBluebird - Rank and division Plat 4 - If you are a lowbie (Gold or below), include what position you would be interested in working on. (List two) Umm I guess I'm not supposed to fill this out, but I feel like I am probably gold level on most of my champions. Just much higher on my Orianna/Ahri than anything else. (At least thats how games feel like too me). Also my supports might be below gold level. I do good when i duo with my friend and support him and he tells me exactly what to do, but as you can see that might be an issue lol. Im a little nervous going in to these IH because my anxiety but hopefully it works out :D. | ||
