League of Legends: 5 Ways to improve your Solo Queue performance

3. Master a champion

When it comes to starting with League of Legends a lot of newbies want to test out as many champions as possible. While this definitely helps with the general understanding of the game it will not improve your individual performance.

Primarily in ranked games, you should know where and who to play. Mastering a few champions will most likely help you raise your win rate as you start learning match-ups, trading windows or just knowing how to adjust your build. Once you have mastered these things – and please try them out in normal games – your play will reach a new level.

4. Watch your vods

After losing a ranked game people often tend to either queue up for the next round, quit completely or play something else to forget about the saddening tragedy. Rarely, though, we watch what we have done wrong to actually fix these mistakes.

Of course, we can blame our jungler for not ganking or the ADC for feeding but eventually, nothing will result out of it. Do you want to climb? Play better than your elo and start fixing your own errors.

5. Dodge when necessary

Entering a lobby we obviously take a look at which role we were given and chose our champion to play with. Seldom, players scout their teammates checking whether or not they are auto-filled or if they are on a losing streak. These features can be critical during the game as certainly we do not want our auto-filled AD Twisted fate to feed the enemy Yasuo. When things are looking too tough and you frankly feel like this game will not go in the right direction for you, dodge the suffering.

Hopefully, you will keep these tips in mind the next time you start playing ranked. Anything we have not discussed? Let us know in the comments below.
