Worth it to start ranked now?

Hello basilmarket,

Should I try ranked before season 4, or would it be a better idea just to wait it out? I feel fairly comfortable with the game mechanics and generally do pretty well if there are no feeders/afkers on my team. Here is my lolking: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/42860180

Thank you for your time.

The season is almost over just keep playing ranked because there's like nothing to lose when you're Silver IV and have under 50 games. You'll either come out higher than you expected and if not maybe you'll learn some new things. It's practically a win win situation if you're trying to improve.

Yes. There is nothing to lose by playing ranked if you have time mindset of simply improving. Ranked will make you improve faster than normals, because people play to win. You can definitely do it, make it to gold that is, if you put in the time. But you need to have the right mindset. If you really want the skin, etc. play ranked, you have nothing to lose. Why not start now instead of waiting for season 4? Start now, and even if oyu don't get gold or whatever your goal is, you wil have learned a lot and you can have a better chance of getting it next season <3

Try to get the ward skin, and it's ENTIRELY possible to hit Gold within 20 days. It's a free champ (6.3ip) and skin if you're gold, plus the border/ward and whatnot.

P.S. A lot of people say be comfortable with every role or at least 5-10 champs or whatever etc. etc., but I think you should play only 1 champ and curb stomp with him. Works if you duo with someone lower than you, you hit first pick every time and snowball everything

Might as well just do it for the rewards

Yeah it's worth it, plus you'll be placed in higher elo for your next seasion placement matches so there's less chance of trolls and etc. Plus like people said, you'll get rewards.

Go for it, you might get lucky and be placed in silver. Even if you get placed in bronze you still get a reward.
While people say you should be as good as possible before you go into ranked, I think you really start learning how to play in ranked, rather than in normals.

Well if you finish the 10 matches before placement and possibly get to silver, I'd do it now. Even getting into just bronze you'll get a reward. If you don't care about the rewards, then it wouldn't hurt to try it out. I have almost 500 (won) games and I'm haven't even placed. (only 1 game away xD) Also I'd get comfortable with 2-3 champs in EACH role before ranked, but do as you please.

Add me so I can spectate you from time to time~
