crazedPIKA's guide to solo queueing for people that believe they are in the wrong MMR bracket!

If you are blue you are generally going to be much higher than everyone else meaning you are facing shit ass 1500s who don't ward or listen to MIA's. Pick a mid ganker such as pebbs hag DR devo, someone you can win mid with and also get double taps in sidelanes. Also TP gank from mid so the sidelanes won't see you, even with wards. *free kills*

If you are teal/purple then you are right in the middle of the MMR bracket that you are supposedly better than anyway, pick a carry hero that is useful early game but is also disgusting late game, such as magebane/swiftblade/Silhouette/FA/valk and go to the short lane, even if your dumbass OJ player picks flint and lanes with you it doesn't matter, if you are truly better than him you should have no problem outlasthitting him and carrying the game against supposed baddies.

If you are yellow/OJ get a hard support hero and support the hell out of the game.Now, people tend to say "Pubs are unsupportable" which is true to an extent, but a good support player can generally win their lane with even a brazilian lane partner. Basically, if you are an average support player your chances are 50/50 pretty much a crapshoot. However, if you are a good support player, giving all the farm to the carry, setting up proper ganks, warding and always stacking jungle. Then it is more like 70/30. You are still gonna have some unsupportable dumbfucks that can't take advantage of good support but, get over it shit happens.

Sidenote: If you are yellow/OJ feel free to get a ganking jungler(not wildsoul/warbeast) if someone else picks a hard support, but don't depend on them to ward you still have to do that.

GENERAL RULES

1.No matter what hero you are, WARD. Even if you are carrying as magebane, if your team isn't warding it is definitely worth it to drop 200 G for map vision and safe farming.

2. From 5 min on ALWAYS have a TP scroll, TP ganks are too easy especially against pubs that won't have lane wards, also pubs will tend to be slow to react to TP's against their lane which usually results in free kills.

3. In general do your best to pick AOE style heroes especially if you are going mid. Single target heroes in solo queue are generally a recipe for loss since you need to rely on yourself to control teamfights.

Following all of this, if you think you should be higher MMR than you are, yet still only win 50% of your games. Then quit blaming others and get better.
