Well, the starting out games are going to practically be the same as normal queue...or at least feel like it. Know each role competently enough to not totally suck. This is because there are tons of people in beginning elo who practically will only play one role and will intentionally feed, disrupt your teams synergy, or rage quit if they do not get it. Support and Jungle are good to know because not many desire these roles. Support in low elo is meh. Leona, Taric, and Alistar are all good support picks in low elo. I have yet to lose a game as Janna as well. CC and AoE are very overwhelming for the low elo players. Knowing farming strategies, such as freezing the lane, are very important especially if the enemy jungler is good and there are roamers and what not. Anyways I'm getting tired of writing so...I guess my last tip would be just not being selfish, especially in regards to bans and what not. Good luck and stuff! (By the way I lag out way to much to play ranked consistently so don't necessarily consider these tips all totally proven viable...I just know lots of stuff from things I hear and see in friends ranked matches and my own to some extent...but I bought myself good internet and finally finished building my computer so I should be back in business within the next week)
