Replying to the folks below me.

I can see how you can say what you say, but you have to understand. I basically started at the lower echilons when i got serious and accurate about ranked game play. However, the methods used to win vary from bracket to bracket. If you are teetering back and forth on 2 brackets, its likely because teamwork issues, as the level of teamwork required in 700 rankings to 1000 rankings significantly varies.

To be blunt, winning efficiently requires all 5 teammates to be on the ball and to make reletively little mistakes. There are games where the team I am on is just bested, and there are games where the team i am on has someone who throws the game. There are some games i'm in at that level where everyone plays at a level of gameplay above their current rating (which happens rarely this far below 1000).

Also, the type of inidivual summoners is extremely random below 1000, as you have a good mixture of good summoners and bad summoners where the game cannot distinguish folks going into their desired roles. So you may have someone like me, who can play all roles, watching 2 or 3 other summoners fight and bicker over one role.
