Updated. Currently a ten win streak and finally reached 1700 elo!

This seems rather interesting, but what should I do in order to participate/help out?

I'm already derping around 1700-1900 elo, so what would be more beneficial - leveling up my smurf and start from scratch, or just grind myself up to above 2k while keeping track of everything?

It really depends, ask yourself what do you have to gain from either of those?

I myself already played a lot against good players, but it was the soloQ factor where I needed to do something to pull out a victory because I have a maximum of one mate around in my team, I have to play with a whole different mindset and it forces me to learn new aspects of the game, mainly picking roles where I can support/guide my team from the whole map.

Could you learn something from going back into soloQ with a smurf? Maybe emphasise on a weakness of yours and try to better yourself in that aspect? If not, go 2k.

Quite an interesting read! Question; what does your duo partner play as? Mainly mid or top? I've just started to play ranked with a friend of mine, learning him how to counterpick and fill any role that the team needs, we usually go mid and top and carry the game from there. But it'd be interesting to get an input on what the 2 most "important" roles are when duo queueing. As for myself, I think it's mid and jungle who need to excel.
