League of Legends is a curious game. The only winning move is to not play.

Did you misinterpret the message?

"You have been promoted to Silver ll

"

If you queue dodged after you qualified it counts as a loss too.
I'll give you a moment to let that sink in

It doesn't count for a loss... it automatically ends the promotion series and docks you 3 LP.

Eh. If you're not that comfortable with the solo lanes and happy to not play them, you'll do fine in 90%+ of Ranked games with just Jungle/Support/ADC.

I'm comfortable with other roles but I rather play support. If someone calls support, I play something else. :)

I'd learn at least one champion of every role. I've been forced onto mid lane a few times in ranked.

Just go with my strategy and master one role, and a champion that plays three of the other roles and if you are force off both those things, just first time a champ and win because you're too good. First Time Lux Win OP.

Playing a champion for the first time in ranked gets less and less effective the higher up you go. The higher skill level of people on champions they're good with widens the relative skill gap more and more.

I would argue it's never effective.

Just don't do it. Simple enough.

Strategy only works when you are significantly better then everyone at your MMR level. Playing champs I don't know how to play is a fun adventure on my inevitable waltz into gold.

Look at Dyrus. He reads a fucking guide while playing.

Top ELO players troll each other all the time; it's not really surprising that he'd do that.
