• Playing solo queue in countries other than Korea, it’s too easy. I was always 1st in Brazil, and when I was in Taiwan, my two accounts were placed 1st and 2nd. Even in the NA, I was 1st last year. I wasn’t interested in climbing up the NA solo queue anymore this year.
• In Korea, you can understand the matchup by playing solo queue, and the game goes accordingly to the matchup, but in the NA, I win lane even if I have the losing pick. So there’s no point to practicing in the NA solo queue.
• For example, there’s a Braum-Rakan matchup. In competitive play, Braum doesn’t have a chance against Rakan. Rakan is too fast, so Braum can’t start a fight, but when I played solo queue, oddly enough, I won all matchups against Rakan while playing Braum. Solo queue data is meaningless.
• I don’t know why, but Aphromoo or Biofrost is in Master tier, so when I get up to Challenger, it’s hard to meet pro support players. Most of the challenger supports are normal players who have good mechanics that came up by fighting well. It’s not much practice.
• And the players say bad words so much. Before, I tried to lead those by saying things like “If we do our best, we can still win.” but now, I just go like “Shut up and just follow me.” Then some go like “You suck too!” I just lose that match. If you don’t want to play, you should lose. (Laughs)
