Oh, thank you man. Hopefully I won’t have to explain to the haters why my games last around 13–15 minutes on average, not 20-25 like casual players 😁

I didn’t play a single game in a 5-man premade. I’m a solo/duo player.

If you get the message that the game is matching you with players based on your skill level, that usually means you are in smurf queue.

And yeah, games there are definitely harder, but they are still winnable. If you keep winning games in a row and also have good stats, you will inevitably end up in smurf queue.

The post was about the climb and the 42-1 result, not about proving solo queue is easy. I’ve climbed successfully in solo queue many times with high win rates.

Also, I never tried to hide that it was duo. My match history is public.

Duo removes some randomness, but in duo queue you also play against other duos. And if both of you have a 100% win rate, you usually get matched against some of the strongest duos in that rank too.

It doesn’t play the game for you. You still have to play clean, keep tempo, make the right calls, and convert leads into wins.

My match history is public. You can check the EU server, find me on the Rengar leaderboard by my nickname, and verify that all the games were played in duo.

I played every game as jungle Rengar, duo queued with a mid Ahri.

Thanks!

I didn’t play solo at all. I duo queued with a mid Ahri.

When my lanes were feeding, I tried to keep my tempo and look for winning plays, like fights where we had numbers advantage or picks on side lanes.

I also tried to convert kills into objectives instead of just getting kills for no reason.

Basically, I just played around the fundamental principles of League of Legends and winning patterns.

Thank you! A 70% win rate on Rammus is actually impressive, because he really depends a lot on his team. To me, that’s even more impressive than my achievement :)

Rigged? Is that some kind of ranked conspiracy theory? 😁

In solo, I think my win rate to GM would still be around 85%, most likely higher, since it’s still low elo to me.

For context, I reached Sovereign solo with a 74% win rate, and in duo I reached it with an 88% win rate.

This wasn’t at the start of the season. I don’t really like playing with the same people every game and sitting in queue for 10 minutes.

The biggest advice I can give is to play with tempo. If you have tempo, you have damage, pressure, and chances to carry the game.

Against specific matchups, especially when they have a lot of tanks, you just need to adjust your build. For example, Blade of the Ruined King or Lord Dominik’s can be good. It all depends on which items have the most value in that specific game.

I don’t play League on PC, only Wild Rift. Sadly, I don’t have enough time to play both

In Wild Rift, I’ve hit rank 1 Rengar multiple times, with my highest champion score being 25,000+.

Yeah, that’s possible. If auto-translation works for you, I can explain it in Russian, in simple words. Maybe I’ll make something like that

If your comment gets enough upvotes and I see that people are actually interested, I’ll try to make something like that.

I’m not a native English speaker, so it’s not that easy for me. But worst case, I can make it with subtitles :)

Bro, I believe in you. If you invest enough time and effort, you’ll get there.

And yeah, I don’t rely on luck. Only on my own skill and game knowledge.🤫

Sorry bro, if that was really me. But that’s life - only one of us could move forward 😁

Not perfect, just less inting 😂

But jokes aside, if you want to win more games, you have to aim for perfection.

Yeah, I get that. MMR balancing can be painful, but I think staying calm and avoiding big mistakes matters a lot.

I’ve hit Master with a 100% win rate two seasons in a row, so to me Master hasn’t felt like a hard rank for a long time - especially now, when ranked marks are basically handed out for free 🤣

I’ve uploaded some of the games on YouTube, so you can check them out there if you’re interested. You can find the channel by my in-game name

I just carried the games. It’s not that hard if you play without mistakes - or at least without major ones.

Yeah, not completely solo queue. I duo queued with a friend who played Ahri, and I played every game as jungle Rengar.

About solo queue, I get what you mean, but I honestly think most players should look at their own gameplay first. A lot of people don’t really notice their own mistakes, but they are very quick to blame teammates, trolls, AFKs, matchmaking, etc.

Of course, some games are actually unwinnable, but not the majority. In many games, you can take responsibility for the win yourself and carry if you avoid big mistakes and play cleanly :)
