Hey guys. Returning to the LoL community after...years. I'm the one who started all the "Ranked Progress" threads, so I figured I'd go back and do it again.

I'm awful at this game. We can start there. I don't actually know what all of the characters do anymore. But none of that matters. All that matters is the rage.

Win, lose, or feed, I'll be updating this every ranked game I play. Criticism, flames, and helpful feedback are appreciated. Duo-queues are a thing, too.

We'll start with my first ranked game this season and move forward.



Although we won this game and I posted a decent score, I don't feel quite as good about this victory as you might think. Syndra had a very strong lane against me and outplayed me in lane--so I just decided to leave my lane and get kills elsewhere. Ganked bot several times to great success and was able to snowball MF into a position of power. I guess they've buffed her ult since I last played because...holy crap she could just throw that thing out whenever and melt the enemy team. No fear.

We almost threw, though--Riven was huge and terrifying and we squandered our early game lead. Thankfully I was able to pick up some critical late-game teamfights (I died a lot in the mid game, after getting ahead early via the aforementioned ganks) and combined with MF's stellar damage, we secured a hard-fought victory.

Overall: 1-0
Mid: 1-0
Jungle: 0-0
Support: 0-0
Top: 0-0
ADC: 0-0

Good luck.
If you want an idea of champs now read the patch notes. Check some builds out and just play :)

Meta is always guna change.
Syndra is retarded. She can lose lane miss all her skillshots yet press r on the carry and win.... sickening

Game 2 went depressingly similarly to game 1. I'm really starting to question whether or not Ahri fits my playstyle--I never really enjoyed her before, but she is apparently a top pick in the meta so I've tried to learn her a bit more. At the least it will make me a more well-rounded player.

But early game went the same way--extended a CS lead and went to roam@6 because Akali is terrifying. Got some frags but made a clutch misplay on one of my 3 rotations bot. Got punished and the game went into this sort of stalemate for awhile. We took a bad dragon fight and then a bad fight top where my positioning vs Poppy was poopy, and we were on the back foot. Thankfully some good teamwork and amazing initiation from Alistar helped us to win the last teamfight and close the game out from behind.

Overall: 2-0

Mid: 2-0
Jungle: 0-0
Support: 0-0
Top: 0-0
ADC: 0-0

Orianna
Jayce
