Live Streams and the Top Ranked Games

I have been watching livestreams for some of the top ranked players, and I have to admit that these guys know what they are doing. I have been blown away by their pro usage of the worst normal game champions which they turn around and literally destroy the competition. Kudos to you guys and a humbleness to me until I get to play at the level that these guys play at.

Love the skill level, love the game, love the community. Keep up the good work, Summoners!

On a similar note, my Ranked Team, Black Water Raiders [BWR] just went 7-0 in Ranked 3v3. Off to a good start, lets keep up the great work, team!

Ranked Teams Are LIVE!

Great News!

Ranked teams are now LIVE! Now your roster of eight players on your team can compete for top spot in the League of Legends ladder system! Want to know how? Here's a short tutorial:

1. Log in to your League of Legends client
2. Click on your summoner profile
3. Click on the CREATE A RANKED TEAM button (it's to the top)
4. Fill in your team information.

Simple huh?

The great feature about this is that your team will no longer be matched inappropriately against other teams, based on your team's average rank! Now the team ITSELF has a rank, so your team will move upward, starting with the weakest team first! I believe that this is the best feature about it, that eventually, your team will reach a point where you will win half of the games and lose the other half, and that will be where your team belongs. Fantastic!

New Team Ranking System Has LoL Community Buzzing!

Guys!

I'm so excited that League of Legends is implementing an entirely new ranking system! In this new ranking system, your rank will now be calculated SEPARATELY for each team that you participate in! This means that your ranking will NO LONGER GO DOWN because of a few different matches. The solo/duo que will still be available as a separate ranking system!

I have been waiting for Riot to implement this system into their infrastructure. I have enjoyed this way of ranking players in StarCraft 2 and am glad that we finally have it here in League of Legends.
