This is my 9th post on my blog. The thing says we were supposed to have 10, so I missed one somewhere. Also, this blog is super late. I don't have internet access at my house right now, so I have to write this post during the 10 minutes I have left in the computer lab. I haven't been playing as much as I'd like to, unfortunately.
I'm at 64 points right now. I've fallen a little, but nothing unrepairable. As I'm climbing and playing with the best players in the nation, I'm starting to realize that I can still improve A LOT at the game. I recently laned against Scarra, one of the most well known mid laners in North America. I played my second best champion and was confident I would at least keep up with him. I was getting absolutely destroyed. His positioning was incredible, even for a Diamond 1 player. But then I won the game and ended up with a good score because the rest of my team did well.
This should tell you how much luck is involved in climbing, at least in Diamond 1. In other elos, you'll generally find it easier to carry than to get carried, so your skill is very indicative of your skill. However, in Diamond 1, once you hit 50 points, you're playing with people with as few as 0 points, and people that are #1 on the ladder.
This is why my points are fluctuating so much. I've been as high as 80 and as low as 30 points within one week. My 10 minutes are almost over, so I'm gonna end this post here.
Good luck on your journey through Summoner's Rift!
