I thought I was going to hit my promos again, but I decided to sit under turret all game and still see the enemy jungler more than anyone on my team as they all flame me on how terrible I am at the game. Not because I died a lot, but because my CS sucks since it's pretty hard to lane 1v2 vs Yasuo and Olaf. I thought I handled it pretty well. *shrug*
Then I thought I was going to win the next game but my team managed to throw a 100% won game by refusing to push with two baron buffs and suddenly pretending that the enemy Ezreal doesn't exist. I think I died four straight times to close out the game to Ezreal just straight up blinking at my face into our team and literally never takes damage because absolutely nobody else would target him ever. Ezreal did four times as much damage as anyone else on the enemy team.
Guess I didn't actually want to hit Plat again anyway (or I would've played more than the last week of the season eh).
Let this be a running log of my shit, because why not.
______________________________________________
Go Kennen top vs Darius cuz Jayce was banned. Enemy mid and jungler combine for over a kill per minute because Mundo jungle and Wood VII Ziggs. Of the combined 16 kills at 12 minutes they had, I was one of them so I wasn't exactly a contributing factor to the snowball. Darius was negative.
MY TURN TO JUNGLE TIRED OF THESE LITTLE SHITS. Carried hard earlygame on Nocturne, transitioned to Vlad carrying us lategame. Kinda shaky midgame, between my falling off time and Vlad getting too big, but ultimately we maintained great objective control to prevent the enemy team from taking advantage of too much.
Nocturne jungle again. Enemy Shaco is basically invisible and does nothing the whole game. Game looked bad till about 40 minutes, then we killed four and got Baron. Then I failed to secure Elder Dragon because it got burst down from 3k by basically everyone in the game. -_- Buuut full build Kog put the team on his back at that point. I'm okay with this. Enemy Jayce talked shit all game and deserved it.
Cho mid vs Yasuo. No, Pantheon wants to switch with me and take on Malphite up top. Fine. Then we stomped the shit out of 'em. Back into series for tomorrow night I guess, gotta work. Thanks for the extra hour, DST.
Game 1 redux: Hard to pinpoint what went wrong but basically enemy Ezreal finished 14/2 (a whole one on me) and our team just had a shitty matchup because "we" picked Cho'gath and Jax into Ezreal and Syndra. Basically, my boosted Shock Blasts were the only things that could ever touch their back line and they simply had more damage. Enemy Ezreal going LEGENDARY in lane will do that, yeah... 0-1
Game 2 deux: Proxy Singed, but I'm not an idiot. Jayce again, still didn't carry as hard as 25-kill Jhin though. 1-1
Game 3: Jayce vs Garen. Unsurprisingly, I dominate this lane. I also got camped mega hard by Hecarim and the rest of my team was too brain damaged to neither provide help or take advantage elsewhere on the map. Graves seems to believe that moving in the opposite direction of enemies without shooting them will make them spontaneously croak. Number one priority when we kill four of them? OUTER MID > BARON TRUE STORY 1-2
Game 4: Cho vs Riven top. RIP series, back to 68 LP. Jungler is decent enough to listen to me, but not enough to not get fucking stomped by jungle Trynd. Holy hell are the other two lanes beyond bad. Guess who did the most damage? It wasn't Fizz and it wasn't Caitlyn... In fact, the latter did less damage than our Amumu jungle. And I built two Armor items. -_- Random lesson learned: Cho apparently still doesn't beat Riven in a slapfight at Level 3 with red buff.
Jayce vs Fizz top, game stage is set when Vi comes to gank me and my Skarner counterganks for a double kill. All-around solid but not spectacular performances lead to a somewhat uneventful win.
Cho vs Geepee top. Enemy Yi jungler was Stone VI and GP wasn't much better. The score was 30-22 when they surrendered in response to us taking a clean Baron, but it wasn't really all that close. Back in series again.
Game 1.3: Rammus top vs Yasuo, featuring what I thought was gonna be a heavy AD team with Lebonk, and it was, but SURPRISE SUPPORT LEBONK and last pick Viktor. I tried really hard to carry, and then I didn't because enemy Viktor was carrying even harder because team just kept ignoring him and Rylai's is bullshit he was literally untouchable for me. Then he kindly tried to flank everyone with Baron pushing up mid, Flashed into my team and he died like a bitch. 1-0
Game 2.3: Morg mid vs Karma. Poppy dies to Irelia at Level 1???? ... Poppy dies to Irelia again a couple minutes later. Bot lane dies. Oh boy. Meanwhile, Karma is playing hyperpussy so I can't do much than just shove the lane down her throat and come out with a slight CS lead. Would you believe that everyone eventually ended up meaningfully contributing and we came back to have another fairly solid victory? Irelia rushed literally Ghostblade. also black shield is pretty fair and balanced 2-0
Just gotta win 1-of-3 tomorrow night after work, before queues go down yo.
