How to raise your ELO 101 - An SP Community Guide

Introduction:
Hey-o and welcome to this guide. This was made by combining the minds of the Chinchillian race of SouthPerrians and giving everyone and ourselves constant tips and reminders on how to fare well in Low Elo (Sub 1200) to High Elo (2100 and beyond) and to keep us constantly with the meta.

Tips from the Pros:

Tips are the best thing, especially from highly skilled players and their teammates. DoubleLift (a.k.a 2xLift, LiftLift) has been known to be one of the best AD carries in the game and very helpful to newer players. Others examples of helpful Pro AD carry players include, but aren't limited to: Chaox, Double Lift (more to come when I get there, and hyper-links as well).

Doublelift's philosophy on solo Q is spot on. Starts around 13:30 until 16:00. I feel everyone who plays league should listen to what he says

Tips from individual players of SouthPerry:

Except some people believe that mid and jungle have the most influence over a game, since some solo queue games are over before the ADC has a chance to shine.

My TL;DR however is "use your brain and get better". Not helpful I know, but LoL is one of those games where you have to delve into every single nook and cranny to get the edge over the competition. Because let's face it, they will do the same.

Snowbally champs are a great strategy. Champs that Kaasoljoyyx listed are great examples. Get ahead of your enemy and PUSH YOUR ADVANTAGE. Too many times I see the other team get an advantage and d`ick around for fun and then get their asses stomped because the opponents caught up.

Strategically ward. Especially if you're top lane because top lane is the easiest lane to gank. I'm too lazy to find that image with all the good warding spots, but learning that is a great way to learn where you should ward and when.

Learn Dragon and Baron timers. 6 minutes for Dragon and 7 for Baron. Timing Blue and Red buffs isn't too big a priority but if you're jungling and plan on stealing buffs it is a good idea to keep track of times and the map icons so you can contest the buffs.

Have several rune pages. You cannot efficiently play ranked with only 2-3 rune pages. The rune page bundle is very RP efficient compared to the total cost of 7 Rune pages worth of IP. Have several pages for different roles, and even certain champs if you specialize in them (ie; Akali).

Learn how to counterpick. Draft mode is all about counterpicking and if you can pick a stronger champ than your opponent you will have a much easier time through the game.

Aside from playing strategy you also need to understand communication. Do not under any circumstances negatively criticize or belittle someone on your team. It helps no one and lowers team morale and causes arguments and grief. Only say constructive things, like suggesting a certain item if someone is having trouble against their lane opponent. If someone is attacking you don't say anything. Just ignore and keep playing your best. Giving into their taunting will only make matters worse.

That's all I can think of for now. Hope it helps. I don't play ranked often these days but I do want to dive back into it soon to test myself.

Original Concept:
I thought it would be a great thing that we would have notes and tads of information to help each other in ranked games. Other than the typical "be a team player" aspect, we should add real tips.

Such as for example: Jungle Timers, The OP Flavor of the Week, The Counter to Sustain Lane and Burst Lane, AD & Support Senergy, The YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DUO rule, etc.

When and if we get any tips we should fill this front page with info and get this ball rolling to help us help everyone help us all.
