Oh, this is going to be so much fun!Season 1:The things I do for love. This is how you begin a show: throw off a small kid off a tower when he witnesses royal incest.I did warn you not to trust me… From the moment the queen just rips King Robert’s signed paper to pieces, up to the sudden betrayal by Littlefinger, this was a magnetizing scene.Bring me his head! The series defining moment, for both the books and the TV show. Most stories, especially fantasy and adventure stories, ensure the reader their heroes will always remain safe and survive anything to the finish. Not this series. The supposed main character, who is the textbook definition of the good guy, gets literally decapitated in front of his two young daughters in the first book- and that’s just the beginning. It is a tragic, scary moment.Amidst salt and smoke. Having Daenerys losing her husband and unborn child was agony, watching her go into flames was just too much… until she emerges, unburnt, entirely naked, with three baby dragons on her shoulder. The time for magic is upon Westeros.Season 2:The night is dark and full of terrors. Nothing quite makes you wear a condom better than watching a god damn shadow tear through a crazy red-haired seductive witch’s vagina in the middle of the night.A man without honor. Nobody knows what it’s like to be the bad man. To be the sad man. That’s where our guy Jaime Lannister comes in. His character arc is born at this scene, where he discusses morality with his captor, Lady Catelyn Stark.Fuck the king! The Hound saying fuck this shit I’m out- check. Hellish green fiery explosions blowing ships in the air- check. The Onion Knight (Davos) losing his sons and in mortal danger- check. The Imp (Tyrion) almost murdered and scarred- check. The Battle of the Blackwater is legen-wait-for-it-dary.Winter is coming. These are not just words, you know. The dead are coming for us all!!! (Five seasons later, still north of the wall, though)Season 3:Dracarys. Dany began as a fragile, hesitant, abused victim. Her burning the slavers at Astapore when recruiting her army of the Unsullied marks her first step in becoming a force to be reckoned with.Chaos is a ladder. An amazing dialogue takes place between the schemer (Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish) and the spider (Varys) in the Throne Room. Politics, philosophy- you name it- they crack it right open. These two adversaries are in for the long haul… Too bad Bran knows everything, Lord Baelish.It’s a long way to the top. A highly stressful Wall-climbing-sequence almost ends with Jon and Ygritte’s death; fortunately it actually ends with them kissing above the Wall…Holy bolony. Although very, very difficult to watch, the physical and psychological torture Ramsay does on Theon, transforming him into the weak, frightened wreck, Reek, has to be one of the boldest moves and the best character development in TV history of all time. Not to mention, the infamous most evil cockblock imaginable!The truth. Brienne is shocked to learn the story and reasoning the Kingslayer gives to him forsaking his vow and instead putting a knife in the back of his king Aerys: apparently the king was insane and wanted to burn the entire city down, so Jaime was actually saving thousands of lives, and never got any recognition for it, instead disgrace.Do it or they’ll find us. When Bran, Rickon, Osha, Hodor, Meera and Jojen sit in a tower near where wildlings are passing by with Jon Snow among them, Bran has to warg both Hodor and Summer to keep their presence secret and save Jon’s life.The Red Wedding. The television event of the decade, most likely. This shocking, violent, disturbing, controversial and devastating bloodbath is one of the things that made Thrones such a phenomenon. Killing off both Robb and Catelyn moments before Arya would have reunited with them is the cruelest storyline anybody could ever imagine. Still gives me nightmares.Season 4:The Purple Wedding. Every villain has to be punished. Unfortunately for Arya, it wasn’t her who got to do it. It was a conspiracy of Lady Olenna Tyrell and Littlefinger to prevent Joffrey and Margaery’s marriage and weaken the Lannisters. Not a whole lot of times will you get such a concensus of people around the world dancing with joy at the sight of a young teenage boy dying in his mother’s arms.I did not kill Joffrey but I WISH that I had! Peter Dinklage is just at his best performance here, and Tyrion shines through every word he speaks. Shae’s betrayal, Varys’ neutrality, Bronn’s absence, Jaime’s silence and Cersei and Tywin’s smug faces make his passionate truthful speech even more powerful.If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world? Oberyn and Gregor’s battle was spectacular, and Oberyn’s passion for justice for his long dead sister Elia Martell is so on the nose. Needless to say, Gregor popping his head like a watermelon was the shit.You know nothing, Jon Snow. The battle for Castle Black was a marvelous episode, start to finish. It really paid off dedicating an entire episode for it. Ygritte death was very emotional.The Lady & the Hound. For once, something the show came up with and worked overwhelmingly! Having Brienne of Tarth combat against Sandor Clegane was a brilliant decision. Arya abandoning the suffering, dying Sandor to die slowly and miserably was a poignant and hard-hitting moment.You will never walk again… but you will fly. Once the Psychic Gang finds that tree from the vision, they meet the Children of the Forest for the first time, but everything goes terribly wrong when wights attack… they run inside the cave. Inside awaits the Three-Eyed Raven, about to begin training Bran.I have always been your son. Shae’s and Tywin’s deaths by Tyrion’s hands was a total knockout. Who would’ve thought?!Season 5:The White Wedding. The tears in Theon’s eyes say it all… Weddings in Planetos are the fucking worst!Who’s your daddy? And the father of the year’s award goes to… Stannis the Mannis Baratheon, for freaking burning your daughter alive for some Lord of Light. No wonder your wife hanged herself, most your soldiers ran, your mistress bailed and your entire battle failed.Hardhome. Another show-only occurence has got to be the single greatest television battle of all time. This is only second to the huge battle before Minas Tirith in the Lord of the Rings.Love lifts us up where we belong. Mommy missed you! Who’s a good boy?? Drogon appears out of nowhere and saves Dany and the others almost killed in a Sons of the Harpy mass terrorist attack. For the first time Dany rides a dragon, and it is very Never Ending Story of them.Walk of shame. A testament to the power of acting, writing and character development. Though not in the top five storylines of the season, the plot revolving the Faith Militant and the High Sparrow reaches a surprising climax when Cersei is paraded around the streets of King’s Landing naked, with people hissing, yelling, throwing shit and even rocks at her. You’d never guess you’ll feel so sorry for this character, but no one deserves this. Lena Heady is a gem. Cersei’s humanity exists!You’re no one. You’re nothing. IMO Arya’s most brutal murder, it is when she goes rogue on the Faceless Men death cult to revenge the death of her dancing master and teacher Syrio Forrel by killing off Meryn fucking Trant, a vile, violent, creepy rapist who deserves to die. But the way she does it is chilling.For the Watch. Did anybody see this coming? Jon Snow dying? And murdered by his own brothers of the Night’s Watch? Let’s talk about how he was stabbed repeatedly and left for dead! It was one of the most intense and unexpected twists ever. And we had to wait an year to find out what’s next.Season 6:“I thought you were dead” “Technically I was, lol”. Attention, D&D! This is how you do a reunion. You seem to have forgotten this in season 7. Anyhow, when Sansa arrives at Castle Black and embraces Jon, it is a sight that is hard to believe: two Stark siblings, together??? As children they weren’t very close, in fact Sansa was mean to him, and maybe it’s another reason why their relationship feels so natural and realistic and touching. A tearjerker.Hold the door. SOMEBODY SEDATE ME! I didn’t know I could feel this way. Seriously, who would’ve thought the running gag, the silly joke, our beloved halfwit Hodor, had such a tragic background? Wylis is being warged by Bran, hearing Meera shouting “hold the door!” repeatedly so that Hodor would block the wights’ path from reaching Bran. He has a seizure while muttering the phrase until it turns to one nonsensical word… Hodor… For years, all he could say was a reference to his death. The acting was off the planet, and the time-warp twist was genius. Definitely in my top five favorites.Burn them all! A set of flashy visions Bran has might be too quick to comprehend but it’s an amazing moment nonetheless. I just love Bran’s visions, they are so raw, radical and stuffed with foreshadowing and callbacks to the past. I also feel really bad for Bran for having to witness the deaths of his entire family (up until then he basically was the only Stark not to see any member of his family die; now he saw multiple relatives and is helpless). Among various quick visions, Bran glimpses at the deaths of Mad King Aerys II, Ned, Catelyn, Robb; a dragon’s shadow over King’s Landing; wildfire burning under the Sept of Baelor (foreshadowing 101!); and his own fall.A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell… and I’m going home. Having had enough, after an intense chase that ended with her killing the Waif, Arya confronts Jaquen one last time before calling it quits on the cult and walking away from Braavos. Ada girl!Battle of the Bastards. Another one of those breathtaking war sequences. The tension this battle builds is just inspiring. The Bolton’s strategy is nothing short of genius, the pile of bodies’ minutes were out of this world, and the unexpected save from the Knights of the Vale was spirit-lifting. Great episode.Big Bada Boom. The season 6 finale was a bomb, pun intended. The music, the setting, the photography, the effects. This was a masterpiece. Cersei’s revenge was a big moment, you really cheered for her, and then it hit you: she’s the queen now, and she’ll stop at nothing.And this, kids, is how I met your mother. The confirmation of R+L=J was a gentle but historic moment. It was genuinely beautiful.King In the North 2.0. In a callback to Robb’s men cheering for him, the Northerners cheer for Jon Snow and declare him king in the north. From being a bastard, a steward, a spy, the 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, a “traitor”, brutally murdered, resurrected, to becoming a king- it is quite the journey for our pal. And he doesn’t even LITERALLY knows nothing about a legitimate Targaryan heir to the Iron Throne yet! Oh boy.Frey pie. Arya gruesomely murders Walder Frey and I love it! A sense of triumph and justice, with the Red Wedding in mind…The Armada. Dany, Tyrion, Varys, Missandei, Grey Worm, Theon, Yara, the Dothraki, the Unsullied, the Greyjoy fleet and three dragons, headed to Westeros? Is this for real now?!Season 7:Red Wedding 2.0. Our girl Arya finally avenges the Red Wedding by poisoning ALL the Freys while wearing Walder’s face. Damn, sister, that’s cold!Cockless coward. An out-of-the-literal-blue naval attack by Euron results with the death of two of the Sand Snakes, Ellaria and Tyene Sand captured, Yara in Euron’s hands, and Theon jumping ship. It was a profoundly sad moment for so many reasons… Theon is one of the most compelling and sophisticated characters in the show, sorely underused for several seasons; hopefully his role will not be insignificant.Cancer for the Cure. I have to praise Iain Glenn. Jorah is a great fucking character. If you didn’t quite figure it out, Jorah was about to kill himself, before the disease turns him into a monster. But Sam had an experimental painful treatment to suggest, and luckily, Jorah obliged. It was not very pretty. Ouch!Field of Fire 2.0. Dany, Drogon and Dothraki pillaging and burning through the Lannister army, while Tyrion stands witnessing from the sidelines? Bronn hitting Drogon, the dragon falling, Jaime charging at Dany, Tyrion with his version of Gandalf’s “fly, you fools!”, Bronn jumps to push Jaime into a river to avoid Drogon’s barbecue and them drowning in their heavy armors? It’s too good for words.The song of Ice and Fire. This installment in the series was an epic, crazy episode. Yeah, it was quite unrealistic and flawed, but the sequence with the dragons burning wights and the Night King killing Viserion (and raising him as a wight) is something fans have been waiting for years- the literal song of ice and fire. It was glorious.Fingered. However weak (nearly non-existent) storyline Petyr Baelish had this past two seasons and the seventh in particular, his eventual much-deserved demise was a true sight to behold, cheer and amen. As Arya is led to Winterfell’s great hall and stands in front of Sansa, Bran and practically everyfuckingbody for a trial, we are led to believe Arya will die at Sansa’s command- until she passes her eyes and points her “finger” on Littlefinger. His shock and terror is priceless. He moves from confusion, denying, trying to get escort back to the Vale, to practically falling down on his knees begging for his life. The way his evil ways are exposed for all to see, after years of dark dealings in confidence, and how he is murdered with his own Valyrian dagger, and perishes inside a puddle of his own blood, are extremely poetic and frankly the cherry on the cake.Winter is CUMING..!!! Who’s a Jonaerys diehard fangirl around here?! Well, certainly not me, but it was still sort of exciting to see this taking place even if I think they are gravely incompatible. These are sort of the closest to main protagonists of the story, so their union is significant. Their lovemaking couldn’t have played out any better- just as the two lovebirds bone, gaze into each others’ eyes and reveal the sexiest piece of ass in the Seven Kingdoms, Bran and Sam breaks down the facts that Jon Snow is actually Aegon Targaryan, not a bastard but a legitimate son, which at once turns him from Dany’s lover to her nephew and the truest and most direct heir to the throne she desires more than any man.EDIT: oh my, over 5000 upvotes..?Thanks!

In Season 4, I started ranked for the first time and was placed in Silver 2.It was okay, but I wanted more.By the end of the season, I managed to climb to Diamond.I put in a lot of time and effort to improve myself and make that climb possible.Here’s what I did step-by-step to improve:I picked 2 roles to specialize in.I declared my main role to be Jungle and my secondary role to be Top.This is because a jack-of-all-trades is a master of none.When I was in Silver 1 trying to break into Gold, I played any champion in any role aimlessly. I never had a game plan. And I struggled because of it.So when I played jungle, I played like a Silver player.When I played mid, I played like a Silver player.When I played top, I played like a Silver player.You get the gist.The point of maining 2 roles is to become an expert at them. That way, you can play 2 roles at a high level instead of playing 5 roles at a mediocre level.By the end of the season, I still played ADC like a Silver player.But it didn’t matter, because when I got jungle I could play like a Diamond player.And I climbed because of it.I picked 2 champions for each of my 2 main roles.For Jungle, I mained Kha’zix and Elise.For Top, I mained Riven and Kayle.(keep in mind this was back in Season 4)These champions would be my “pocket picks.”I committed to learning them inside and out. To be as much of an expert on them as I could. To play them like a Challenger or professional player would.When I was Silver, I had around a 50% win rate with any champion that I played. It’s pretty hard (and slow) to climb with a 50% win rate.You might gain 25 LP for a win.But then lose 23 LP for a loss.By the time I hit Diamond, I had around 30 ranked games of Kha’zix.Every game I practiced with Kha’zix gave me a better feel of how to play him. I learned his strengths and weaknesses, familiarized myself with his power spikes (level 6 and level 11 especially) and damage output, and gained a better understanding of his playstyle and limitations.I had around a 70% win rate out of those 30 ranked games as Kha’zix.This meant that I was gaining more LP than I was losing with him.With Kha’zix, I was finally climbing. And fast.And this is what you want to do with your pocket picks. Know them and own them.I watched high-elo players and took notes. On paper.I was there when Nightblue3 had just started his streaming career.One of the reasons why Nightblue3 became so popular was that he was the only Challenger jungler who used Twitch to stream. And his streams were very instructional and educational.At the time, there were not many Challenger players who gave valuable in-game insights and real-time advice to players. Never before had a high elo player become so accessible. Nightblue explained everything - he told viewers his in-game thought process and why he did something the way he did.I was hooked to his stream from the start.And guess what: He mained Kha’zix and Elise.Yep, the only reason I picked up Jungle using Kha’zix and Elise was because I watched Nightblue3 carry high elo games time and time again with them.I took down so many notes from watching Nightblue’s stream. I learned a ton and and gained a better understanding of the game and how to play champions effectively by listening to his thoughts.For example, when I was learning Kha’zix and Elise from Nightblue, my notes were like this:- When ganking an overextended enemy champion in a lane as Kha’zix, don’t immediately jump on them. Instead, walk up to them first so that when they burn their Flash to escape, you can jump on them without wasting your Flash.- Kha’zix is of the best invaders at level 6 due to his empowered Q. Try to ward the enemy’s jungle and invade their jungler for an easy kill.- Use Kha’zix’s empowered leap to pick off low health enemies in team fights.Don’t just randomly jump in and die.- Elise’s kit makes her one of the best early ganking champions - try to gank all 3 lanes before level 4.- Elise is also the best level 3 turret-diving champion due to her E.Therefore, try to turret-dive enemy champions that have below 30% health with your teammates for an easy kill.So what I recommend is that you go to Youtube or Twitch to watch high-elo gameplay of your pocket pick champions and take notes.Aspiring Zed main? Go watch Bjergsen and Faker play Zed, and take notes on the entire game. Observe how they lane, roam, split-push, and teamfight. When and where do they ward? When do they go all in? Why did they die?Aspiring Thresh main? Go watch Madlife and Aphromoo play Thresh. Observe how, when, and why they roam. How do they set up ganks?When and where do they ward?Then apply your notes by practicing in Normal games.A good sign that you’re improving and ready to climb in ranked is when you can consistently carry your team in Normals.Write down 3 big mistakes you make every game, and address them in the next game.For example, 3 common mistakes as a laner are:1) Not CSing well.Every 15 CS is around 300 gold, which is a kill’s worth.Every CS you miss that your opponent doesn’t puts you at a disadvantage.As a general rule:By 10 minutes, you want at least 50 CS.By 15 minutes, you want at least 100 CS.By 20 minutes, you want at least 150 CS.Otherwise, you will fall behind in gold and items.Good CSing requires a lot of practice, especially when mastering the timing of your auto-attacks.How can you improve this? Create a Custom game and practice CSing for 20 minutes. Your goal is to miss no more than 1 minion per wave.2) Dying to ganks due to lack of wards.80% of deaths to ganks can, and should, be avoided with wards.The only time you should play aggressively without wards is if you are 100% sure that you can heavily out-trade or kill your opponent.If you don’t have wards out, you should play with the mindset that the enemy jungler can, and will, gank you at any moment.3) Not reading the mini-map every 3–5 seconds.The mini-map is your best source of information. As former-pro-player-now-turned-streamer Imaqtpie says, “Play the map and map the plays.”Masters, Challengers, and professional players constantly read their mini-map. It tells them when something’s up.For example, if a Challenger player has low health and doesn’t see the enemy jungler on the map, he knows he’s at the risk of getting ganked or turret-dived.Junglers especially need to pay attention to the mini-map, even when killing their jungle camps.For example, if you’re the jungler and notice that your top laner has low health and the enemy top laner suddenly starts shoving the lane, you need to recognize this as a sign that your teammate is about to be turret-dived by the enemy jungler. Either ping your teammate back or position yourself to counter-gank.Or if you see the enemy jungler heading bottom, prepare to head bottom yourself to counter-gank.If you’re by bottom lane but see the enemy jungler ganking your top laner, try to see if you can secure Dragon with your bottom laners.If you’ve noticed that the enemy mid laner has been gone for at least 5 seconds, ping your top and bottom laners to be careful of an enemy roam.If you’re grouped with your team as 5 and see an enemy champion split-pushing top lane, try to engage a teamfight while it’s 5v4.Being able to constantly read the mini-map is a skill.If you want to improve, make it a habit and constantly practice.Learn to recognize the signs and act accordingly based on what you see.This is how you develop a strong game knowledge of League.Overall, self-improvement first requires that you have a clear game plan.Consistent self-improvement requires discipline.While it’s tough to become a better player over night, I guarantee you will see improvement in a week if you proactively apply these tips.Find your specialty, master your craft, learn from the best, and improve your game.Hope this helps!
