New season, same goal...

Ok, going out of the ELO-Hell zone (whatever it may be) was the primary objective of my ranked play. 

And  I really wanted to do this as a support, for two main reasons:

1. 'cause I'm born to support. It's the role I like the most and for which I'm best suited. Plus, I'm not really performant in the other roles, though I can play decently as mid and not-so-terribly-bad as AD or jungler;
2. to show that supports can be decisive in determining the fate of the game. All-shame and no-fame, the supporting role is always underestimated. Everyone praise who makes the kills, noone cares of the one who's busy avoiding horrible deaths to the party and preparing kills for the carry.

With the end of season 2 approaching, I have now a new (unrealistic) goal: to reach the gold tier. Which means over 1500 rating for solo queue. Starting from just over 1150, which is the lower Silver rank.

To show the world how powerful supports are?

To gain self-esteem and prove myself that I'm able to do it?

To have a new reason to motivate me doing ranked games and blogging of my daily failures?

Nope.

...seriously, did you hear about the exclusive War Hero Janna skin? *_* 

Here you can find the complete summary of the new ranks and rewards for Season 2.

Janna is one of my favourite characters of all time, and even though I really like the Hextech skin (my very favourite, since I'm also a Steampunk lover), I'd gladly alternate her with another one.

Well, I'm very aware of my limits and know that this dream will not come true. But hey, Janna is too sweet not to give it at least a try!

So I'll be training hard and queuing for ranked every time I can.

Wish me luck. :<

Oh, and of course, if you happen to be on EUW server and want to boost a 1176 ELO scrub out of Hell... you're welcome XD

Edit: well, sure, I could always try and reach 1450 with my 5v5 team... but we have hard times playing together lately, we're too busy working / studying and can't be online at the same time :-/
