to shotgun,

just want to say thanks. i don't get a lot of legitimate feedback on how i play because all i ever get is stupid trolling bullshit that doesn't tell me how to improve at all, and i'm immensely thankful that someone's stepping up to tell me how to get better.

i agree with everything you've said about how i currently play, and i think a lot of it is due to playing with you guys in higher normal elo. i don't often queue with people who are similar to me, so i feel like a lot of the time i'm playing against people better than me and i just get immensely overshadowed. i thought i was capable of playing well, but when i stand up to people at your guys' skill level, i barely stand a chance, and i need to sort things out before i can do that again.

i know that my current skill level right now is most likely incomparible to all of yours. i'm aware i'm the weakest link when it comes to experience/ELO/whatever, and i have a lot to work on before i feel like i can even play with you guys again.

i'm going to solo queue for a little while and try and get my w/l ratio up as well as improve my last hitting and lane presence. i have awful positioning a majority of the time, and i'm not great at map awareness, and these are all personal issues i have that just hold you guys back, and none of you deserve that.

i know tnt was a joke and everything when it started out, but if we intend to get serious and tryhard it up, i feel like all of us have the potential to be incredible. i look forward to playing with you guys as a team, and i apologize if i have done anything in any game that's led to a loss. i think if we all encourage feedback and have post-game discussions about what went wrong/right like we have been doing, we'll improve a lot.

also, everyone should play more normals together, because i still think teamwork is something we're a bit lacking in. we need to synergize well, and teams like CLG and TSM got where they are today because everyone works so well with one another.
