    I think the trick with ranked is only to play the roles you are good at, and only to play your strongest champions. So for you that means Hecarim and maybe Trundle. But it's no good to start playing all different champions who you're not comfortable with

    Maybe I should buy Hecarim, and then I can first pick him each game for you, and you pick me a solo laner...do you have many champs? GP, Galio, Shen, Morgana, Cait and Graves are people I like to play.

    (I think I will be first pick and you last pick almost every time we play ranked together, because I am about 80 ELO higher)
    I agree. I am best at junglers and good with top laners. I've got nearly every single jungler there is, apart from Nautilus, and I am competent with all of them but I am best with Hecarim, Udyr and Rammus, with Rammus depending on the enemy team comp.

    I have many champs but few 6300 champs. I have most melee champs but I've tended to stay away from buying AD ranged carry champs as I hate that role so I don't even have ashe for example, let alone caitlyn or graves. Out of the ones you mentioned, I only have GP.

    Let's just hope I'm not always last pick


    Edit: Trundle has declined recently, not sure why he just isn't working well for me. I also play Xin Zhao mid well but those games are either amazing or terrible :P

    I've played HON since its release (before LoL). Tried LoL but it was just too **** due to the fact of always being teamed with absolute **** players all the time, and the gameplay is just far too slow for me to enjoy, unlike HoN or Dota2, which I reckon is much more difficult. Started playing the Dota2 beta! Awesome game.

    Your post is the equivalent of going in to the Cambridge thread and writing "a Cambridge the people are just absolutely **** and the teaching is far too slow and rubbish, I will be at another university called Oxford and it's much better"

    I mean, really?

    You know that in ranked you pick in order of ELO? And as you are about 80 ELO lower than me, you will often be last pick, I am sure (because teams are normally all quite similar in ELO, and 80 difference is a lot).

    Hec and Udyr are two of my most common junglers as well. You should buy Naut though he is great fun to play as you just stand in the middle of team fights never letting anyone leave.

    Fewer than the amount of men that play but there are a lot more girl gamers than most people realise. I think you are the only girl in this thread though.

    Hecarim is common? I never see him, I guess because people think he is underpowered.

    I'm saving up for a 6300 champ and I'm torn up between buying Katarina, Naut or Fiora. Katarina for the lulz, Nautilus because he is an AP jungler/bruiser and Fiora because she just looks really fun.

    I wish I could try them out although I'll probably go for Naut in the end because I just need him to ensure I have a wide variety of junglers to choose from.

    Thanks I didn't know that.

    Paddy and MEX want to play a game today? I'm going for a run now but I'll be back in an hour or two, if you're free.

    I'm not very good player but I'm learning and my favourite champ is Sejuani (or it's the only one which I can play with properly)

    Nobody really plays him although a few weeks ago I decided I was going to play a few games with him top (he has enough sustain that it works) to see how it was and randomly four games in a row somebody picked him ahead of me. I own all three of them. I basically never play Kat as you either snowball and own everything or do nothing all game and the chance of the latter makes her less fun for me. Naut is great as I said and Fiora for a while was pretty much my main champ. If you get a few early kills you will become insane - plus you can build all tiamats for hilarious ults in team fights

    I just bought Swain :yes:

    She can be strong, nice cc. And unless your a pro or play 5 hours + a day you really want to know a small number of champs very well rather than a medium-large number well.

    Guys, my ingame name is DrussIV, Im up for some fun (normal blind pick? normal draft pick is still kind of competitive imo).

    Sure, I'm on now Paddy you don't have to support every game, just whoever is last pick can do it, but it worked really well when you played it yesterday!

    Hey, I played with another girl from this thread once, she was literally just starting out though and only a beginner. What summoner level are you?
