I just had an incredible and surprising experience.
Queued up for Ranked solo, I'm third pick but call support preference, next person calls mid/supp pref, I indicate that I can do passably at mid if needed and have a setup for Jungle in a pinch but really prefer to play support since I'm best there by far.
The second player indicates that he, too, has the same situation.
The first player in pick order indicates that he, too, mains support.
Then the remaining two chime in--"yeah me too lol".
So we have five support mains figuring out how to arrange ourselves to be competitive. I do end up with the support role, playing Nami as usual, along with Singed top, Yi jungle, Leblanc mid and Quinn bot. We absolutely cleaned up, by a margin of twenty or twenty five kills or so. It wasn't the biggest blowout I've been a part of thus far, but what was amazing about it was the level of coordination and map awareness involved--it was far better than with any team I've encountered. We were taking objectives quickly and cleanly, consistently outmaneuvering our opponents in order to isolate champs and eliminate them before moving for bigger or tougher targets.
I THINK--but I may be wrong--that this is how the game is supposed to be played once you're out of Bronze. It was heartwarming to find a bunch of bronze players performing like this, and it reaffirmed my commitment to improving my communication, map awareness and strategic sense as keys to victory.
Just some thoughts.
