Thanks.

So I've pretty much found the secret to rising in ranked without having a full 5 man or 3 man. It's to not have fun. You have to play the same god damned pile of characters over and over again because a game like this is in complete tiers.

Need a physical DPS:
- Ez: Banned.
- Shaco: Banned.
- Xin Zhao: Not banned -> PICK!

That's the theory, yeah. You ask anyone and, right now, they'll tell you to take a hard carry, demand mid, and push your team to victory.

Fact of the matter, though, is that that's bullshit. Far too often there's just jack shit you can do about it. You could be the best playing in the entire game and if you just continually get stuck with a team who feeds 10 deaths by the 10 minute mark, refuses to respond to any effort to work together, or doesn't even speak the same damned language as you, you're fucked. All of that, of course, added on to the fact that the other team is going to have a physical carry trying to do the exact same thing as you.

That seriously seems like the case every time I solo queue ranked. It's just one crap shoot after another.
