[Lucid:]

I was really scared the first couple times. I played a lot of draft pick normals to prepare myself, but I had heard lots of terrible things about new players getting raged at during their placement matches by players who actually belong at 1200 elo (Where you automatically start). But as it turns out, my placement matches were entirely with other people who had played less than 10 ranked games. The first few games were just like the draft normals I had played, with similar or better teamwork. Then I had to play a role I don't normally play because of a duo queue calling bottom and first pick taking jungle, and I lost like 5 matches in a row after that. But it's not so bad. In general, the folks in ranked try harder and are more willing to cooperate. After playing ranked, I hate blind pick normals because I either wind up with a trolly team, or the other team is playing 3 ad carries and no jungle and my team surrenders at 20 because all they did was feed.
