At least you made it to Gold. I'm in Bronze and it really is a matter of taking the most OP champs because you need to carry against the troll-tide.

Last night I had a Rek'Sei who'd just stay in his lane until the 30 min mark, then roam the jungle and attack objectives alone. It's things like that, no matter what anyone says, that basically hold the other 4 players back. He was our tank, and his head was up his ass.

You can only really carry as the ADC, the top lane, or maybe an AD jungle. If you're mid, tank jungle, or support, you're ****ed.

I think certain mids can carry well at low elos as long as you know how to abuse the bads that never ward or look at the mini map. I mean just pick LeBlanc, roam, and get double kills and you'll snowball the game in no time.

I duo'd with my buddy with me on ADC and him on support and we got to gold pretty quickly. We spammed Graves-Blitzcrank and pretty much dominated bot every game, all I had to do was passive farm (I had top CS in nearly every game) until he landed a pull and then I'd blow my combo on their ass for a kill. Rinse, repeat, then roam after taking tower and snowball.

Having a decent duo partner that's willing to work with you and not flame teammates really makes solo queue a lot easier to deal with

Honestly dude just get good with any champ and play it as often as you can.. You can easily get gold with a good understanding of the game and skill on one champ. I went 9-1 in my qualifying matches on TEEMO(midlane) in season 3. Not because I crushed lane, because I counter roamed, setup shrooms for dragon fights and enemy jungle vision, and helped with objectives. Your team doesn't have to be good if you can set up good vision for yourself and make them aware of what the enemy is doing you can make scrubs useful. Tracking blue/red buff timers, dragon timers, knowing how to control the minions to push in or freeze lane, etc.

OR, get super mechanically skilled on a snowbally roam champ like Katarina and just wreck low elo players.

I deleted the post. It wasn't that bad, but this thread has a set of rules and I'll respect that. Too bad others wont.

That wasn't offtopic but okay. We can agree to disagree.

Stop.

It was. The moderating team gave permission for a set of rules to govern this thread for the people who actually enjoy posting in it. They don't want people coming in and calling them stupid for liking a game and saying another is superior. Go discuss that in your own thread about Dota 2 if you want, but it was made CLEAR that you can't do it here. Seriously, go make a thread about Dota 2.

It was a joke but you're having a mental breakdown I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you so violently upset. I'll leave the thread now.

Who's upset? Just being clear and blunt dude. Stay out of this thread with that stuff. Simple. Moving on.

Dota 2 is not League. Therefore offtopic

Also it's good to see some strong moderating from Exo. Not that you need any confirmation from me, but keep up the good work!
