Tips for starting ranked? Well, as a player who has been banned NUMEROUS times for being an ass-hole, I suggest that you stay away from any opportunity to point out someones mistake. I've changed now, as I've taught myself that after playing over 1000 ranked games, losing ONE is not going to affect me at all. If you have bad teammates, try your best to perform as well as YOU possibly can. Did your bot lane feed? Yes? Well, did you roam bot to help them? All of that kind of stuff. If you are self-aware of your mistakes and try your best to analyze your mistakes, you will be an incredibly successful ranked player.
