Struggling with getting back into solo in General Discussion
BUILT DEFICIENT

    So with this new ranking system and patch getting situated, I've been interested in getting back into solo queue for a while now but still lack the motivation and feel kind of scared to. I'm 2.6k MMR party and haven't played a solo game in probably 3 months, after getting up to around 2.2-2.4k solo in Seasonal.
    I guess I'm just scared because I usually play Pos. 1 safelane, and I know I have basic mechanics down and (I feel like) a pretty wide hero pool, but carrying in ranked games feels harder to me just because I don't have my friends with me. I understand that at my skill bracket, everyone is around the same skill level as me and they aren't going to necessarily look down on me for not performing well, but it's more of a psychological thing where I beat myself up if I can't carry in solo.
    I've been playing a lot of turbo and playing a lot of different things in turbo, but feel like I'm ready to settle back into solo grind. Does anyone have any tips for breaking the anxiety of getting back in solo?

      Just play solo queue at normal game first until you get the hang of it. Turbo is a bit different from the normal / ranked games. Mute all toxic players and just do your best.
