This is my first ever moba game and im currently level 30 and want to try ranked, however I feel like if I play I will throw the games so are there any tips that I can get avoiding the feeling that i had thrown the game.

first thing id say is learn AT LEAST 2 characters in every role

#

this includes jungle

#

if you only play 2 roles and get either of those taken, you're kind of screwed

#

secondly, WATCH THE MINIMAP AND CS

#

i promise

#

this helps SO much

#

if you can accurately predict if a teamfight is going to happen, you can rotate in time to help out

#

what roles do you like?

lucid mulch
#

what does CS stnd for?

pseudo bobcat
#

nice those are really good roles :)

#

creep score

#

it means how many minions youve killed

lucid mulch
#

pseudo bobcat

lucid mulch
#

pseudo bobcat
#

me too

lucid mulch
#

i mean FIRST moba

pseudo bobcat
#

yes

#

same

#

LOL

#

ive been playing for like 3 months

#

but i tend to get overly obsessed with 1 game and pred happens to be that rn

lucid mulch
#

ive been playing when it released to console

pseudo bobcat
#

oh thats awesome

#

get ready to get flamed too

#

that was very upsetting for me but i didnt really let it affect me

lucid mulch
#

ye its alredy happen, i streamed this game for 26 hours and got flamed so hard

pseudo bobcat
#

i started ranked as jungle so i got flamed... a lot..

#

i think watching the minimap and CS to ensure youre at least even with your laning opponent is really helpful

lucid mulch
#

well it happens. i don't think i will be playing ranked so early but i'll still try it out

pseudo bobcat
#

i think you should give it a go

#

the hardest thing for me personally was learning when to rotate

#

i think i look at the minimap more than i do my screen

#

you dont want to be the one thats super oblivious and doesnt realize that theres the enemy jg at fangtooth

#

but overall as long as you can play standard i think you can play ranked, the most difficult thing is being aware of the game outside of your lane, being good at wave management and showing up to fights and knowing your place within that fight

#

and not getting tilted if you happen to not get your role

#

the most frustrating thing in playing ranked is playing with someone who clearly does not know what their role does

It all depends really. If you feel you understand lane control and you don't die to many times to avoidable situations, you'll probably end up being one of the better players on your team. Just make sure you learn at least 3 roles and have at least 4 champs you can mix and match in these roles.
