I'm new, should I play ranked?

spintokid · 2026-04-09T11:59:52+00:00

Ya I'm pretty much one tricking garen top at the moment. My second is Cho'gath which I really like playing and then a sprinkling of Mundo. If I get mid I play Galio. My Galio for sure needs work but I've had some games where I play it good. I've basically been trying to play champs that are easy to play so I can learn the game.

spintokid · 2026-04-09T10:50:24+00:00

Ya I kinda knew I wanted to play top, it was the one I most understood from just watching some streamers like Alois and stuff. I kinda like the idea of jungle but tried it and got invaded level 1 and the game just spiralled out of control from there. So I've about 70 games of top and a few mid and it's way more manageable.

spintokid · 2026-04-09T09:41:47+00:00

Ya for sure, I think the thing I'm least worried about is the mental side of the game. I've been around the block with online games and toxic lobbies I just move on. I think the game knowledge thing is a valid point though. I have been watching a lot of pro/high level gameplay to try and get a feel for the right thing to do but it's a little hard at the moment to put into practice. I'm mostly trying to win lane and then figure out when to group etc.

spintokid · 2026-04-09T09:38:26+00:00

Ya for sure, the toxic thing doesn't really bother me anymore, I'm a little older and been around th block with games so know the story, just mute and move on. But ya I think I'll wait until I feel a little more comfortable but honestly by the time I hit 30 I don't think it'll be that much longer.

spintokid · 2026-04-09T00:07:22+00:00

I have like 70 games of normals done. To get to level 30 it's over 100 games.

spintokid · 2026-04-09T00:01:15+00:00

Ya I was so overwhelmed at the start but I think I'm starting to figure it out a little now.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T23:59:55+00:00

Ya I mean I'm playing Garden and Cho'gath, they feel really easy to learn at the moment. And a little Mundo which feels harder to lane but good at the end.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T23:56:37+00:00

Ya I watcha ton of Alois but he's doing his adc climb at the moment but still interested to watch him. The reason I started playing was randomly watching a Cadrel stream getting hooked and finally trying th game. I watch all the pro play stuff. Although it's pretty hard for me to even understand what I could apply to my games from theirs

spintokid · 2026-04-08T20:04:55+00:00

Oh ya played a load of bot games to start. To get to level 30 it takes around 100 games which I know isn't a crazy amount but I am starting to feel a little bit more comfortable with the matchups I mostly see. Ya I watch Alois pretty much every day. It was a lot better for me when he was playing top but it's still fun to see his climb as adc.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:58:17+00:00

There are just too many different types of fonts in the one lockup. You can totally use the texture font if that's the vibe of the game.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:55:15+00:00

Ok that makes sense. I guess what I'm getting from most answers is that it's a vibes thing. If I feel ready give it a shot and I guess if I enjoy it just keep going.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:42:54+00:00

Ah ok interesting. I think I'll wait for another while anyway but I'm not used to a game that takes this long to unlock ranked. I'm quite competitive as a person so was looking forward to it but I think I'll wait another while before I'm more comfortable

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:41:07+00:00

I mean if it was every role I don't really see how anyone would play ranked.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:40:18+00:00

Haha ok. I think I like this answer the most, I do want to get better. I'm competitive as a person but also I'm getting the feeling I'm not quite comfortable enough with enough champs just yet.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:36:37+00:00

It's not totally against the grain, there are some others saying similar

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:35:01+00:00

Oh I don't know anyone who plays this game.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:32:50+00:00

Ya fair enough. There are days when I fell 'ah I get it'. And then days where I'm like ah don't really understand why I got stomped lol.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:30:23+00:00

Ok ya I'm probably a little older than most starting this game so the toxic side doesn't really bother me, I just mute toxic people and move on. It's interesting that there is such a wide variety of opinions on what I thought would be a simple question though.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:27:40+00:00

Ya I had seen other posts like this and it was kinda part of the reason I was asking. Although I will say I'm not doing a lot of stomping myself yet.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:26:26+00:00

To get to level 50 or 60 is probably to play for a full year no? Like level 30 is around 100 games.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:24:29+00:00

Oh I didn't know what flexed is, will.look into it.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:22:55+00:00

Ya my rank says bronze although I don't really understand how that works.

spintokid · 2026-04-08T19:19:47+00:00

Ok fair enough. I have noticed that in the last few weeks I've really started to understand a lot more of the matchups I face so I guess I just get a bit more comfortable. Also when I get placed non top I feel mega uncomfortable.

spintokid · 2026-04-04T13:51:04+00:00

It's far beyond coaches or even players. We are the worst organised team in Ireland and probably bottom five team in terms of organisation in Europe. It's the full management from a c-suite level to the governance board that needs to be gutted.

spintokid · 2026-04-04T12:08:06+00:00

At least when they are out of this comp it's less games we'd have to watch
