    Best way to avoid ELO hell is duo queue. This is especially important in your first 10 games of ranked each season.

    You get much higher points in your first 'placement' 10 games, getting like 50ish for a win. Thus winning as many as those first games as you can is massively important.

    Queueing as a duo still sticks you in the solo queue, so find a friend you can duo bottom lane with in that support/ad combo, or maybe mid/jungle.

    Googling now to figure out wtf you people are talking about, lol.

    Played a few games with TSNL/Stupid Named. I was like a fresh nooblet dieing three times as often as I killed, while TSN's wandering around Legendarying it the hell up. I was trying to learn Rammus, and then eventually switched to the minotaur. You all must be snorting speed cause they're way too much shit going on at once for my poor old brain to follow, lol

    Eh, its not that much. Just concentrate on last hitting creep, harassing your lane and keeping an eye on the minimap. Its not until roaming phase that you really have to start watching all lanes for ganks etc, and in late game its pretty easy to either defend the tower in most need or push/split push.

    Everyone sucks in the beginning. Every friend that I've ever gotten into this game takes a long while before they get the hang of it.

    Took me a while too, you'll get the hang of it.

    MOBA games in general have high learning curves. LoL is the most forgiving of them, though.

    Out of curiosity - well, not really - is there anyone who has the Arctic Warfare Caitlyn skin from the PC Gamer magazine? Apparently the codes can be used twice - once per region (EU, US).

    I'd be willing to do anything in exchange. Well, mostly anything. D:

    (I'm in EU)

    Nope, don't work. Although someone probably used it before me - PM would have been a better way to go :D

    Still thanks I guess. :(

    Here are a couple of NA arctic warfare caitlyn skins. I bought one magazine and took pictures of the others in case mine was stolen because that whole thing was bogus. Since they should all be used up by now I don't really mind posting all of these.

    The Arctic skin code can only be used in NA.

    For future reference to everyone who plays with me;

    There is a minimap. Fucking use it, or don't fucking even consider being on the same site as me.

    "Berk, I'm coming to gank mid."

    "Okay."

    Jon goes up from behind the enemy to gank them.

    Berkley sits up behind his minions and hums to himself.

    "..Berk, why didn't you go?"

    "LOL I HERD U ON SKYPE."

    Or how about.

    "Berkley going in."

    "Okay."

    Berkley does the same thing, and eventually does go in, only to proceed with missing all his skills.

    "LOL YOU CAN'T JUDGE ME."

    Oh, oh!

    Or how about..

    "Back off guys, don't fight in their jungle."

    "It's okay, I've got my ulti."

    "What about the rest of their team?"

    "LOL THATS WHAT YOU GUYS ARE FOR."

    Five seconds later.

    Everyone is dead.

    :facepalm

    You never said you were ganking mid. Just turned up, the got angry at me for not knowing whether you were just counter-jungling or ganking. The "I heard you on skype" was a minute after the gank, where you repeated 'did you look at the minimap' about three times, obviously showing that you expected the minimap to show where you were and didn't indicate to me what you were doing.

    Again, there was no 'Berkeley, going in', there was only you going in, and then me missing all of my shit. Also, 'Lol, you can't judge me'? Pretty sure what I said was, after you going on a little rant 'I dont care'.

    And I'm pretty sure that last one never happened. I don't even know what the fuck that was about.

    I had a pretty bad match, yeah. But originally Graves is a good counter to my character, he has a dash to escape all of my skills and his buckshot hits for a ton. Graves counters me easily. I was at a disadvantage from the beginning, and then having some dick sarcastically comment on everything I did didn't improve my game, what a fucking surprise.

    And christ man, 'dont even consider being on the same site as me'? Oh no, I don't have the approval of some random asshole on the internet! Better go hide in my cave, before the shame catches up to me.

    How 'bout I help you with a ban? :awesome

    I don't care that you did badly. I really, really don't. What I am pissed about is that you never listened to what I told you to do, and yes, there was. I called every gank I did. I waited for confirmation.

    When you respond "I don't care" to me telling you to do something that would make you five thousand fucking times better then you already are, guess how I feel like responding? :)

    That's right! By pointing out how many retarded decisions that you make that goes against advice!

    Like, you know.

    "Berkley, come baron with us."

    "Hang on guys, I just need 10 more gold."

    Are. You. Fucking. Serious.

    For reference, the last one in that post was when you decided fighting at their blue was a brilliant idea. :)

    Yep, ban a guy for disagreeing with you when you are arguing with him. Really fair, setting an example for free speech and not being dicks for everyone.

    You did not call those ganks. By asking me if I was watching the minimap to see that you were ganking, and asking me 'did you watch your minimap', and posting it up here, you are proving that.

    I responded with that because when someone sarcastically comments on your gameplay, rags on you for every action you take, you don't just go on and listen attentively to whatever the guy says. you try to play and not get affected by the dickhead.

    I didn't decide to fight at blue. I'm pretty much positive that exchange didn't happen.

    And of course you were angry that I played badly. What the fuck else? You didn't talk at me to help me play better, you talked at me because you like to throw blame because you're an asshole. "were you watching your minimap?" and "what are you doing" dont count as advice.

    This is DLP. This is not a democracy.

    1. I called every gank.
    2. I asked you if you had checked your minimap after each gank failed.
    3. If you had been watching your minimap then you wouldn't be tearing up right now at the big mean ol' Jon. I didn't name you. I didn't say you specifically, however you felt strongly enough with the need to respond.

    Again, this is DLP. Do you expect me to coddle you and tell you that you're doing great, and that I'm so proud of how good you're getting, and how it's okay to be this sensitive, because real men wear have manly tears?

    It did, I know this because I watched it from the other side of the map away as at least half of you died. :)

    Again, do you expect me to hold your hand? I pointed out your flaws. Did you need me to tell you to correct them?

    Actually, you know what? I know someone who does ask what they did wrong. Coincidentally, he was in that game, and he has much, much less experience playing than you do.

    tl;dr: Do you want to continue this? I can go all night. All you're doing is stopping me from starting my original for November. I mean, I don't see why you would. Your entire defence seems to be that I'm a mean person. :|
