Savlonic's Suave Saunter to Diamond.

[quote=Savlonic][quote=Savlonic]Hey there, I'm fairly new to actually using mobafire(had the account made last year-ish for some tournaments friends were trying to me to sign up for, though we never bothered anyways to actually sign up), however not so much when it comes to League. I started in S3 and didn't play much ranked once I hit 30, as I placed bronze 1 on the last of the two weeks before season end so I figured why bother. Preseason hit and I grinded my way to silver 2, and replaced silver 3 in S4. At this point in time I was frustratingly grinding away to gold from silver and it was awful. However once I finally made it, there was about two months until season end and I wanted more, I went for plat. Two weeks from season end I finally hit plat 5 and had a very vague desire to go for Diamond, however did not pursue it after getting clear to plat 3 series into plat 2, then demoted twice in a row back to plat 5(10+ losses in a row most on blue side). Preseason rolls around again and I'm back at plat (After another demotion) but I intend to persevere and get diamond before preseason end.[/quote] LCS Begins the 22nd of January and with that heralds the beginning of season 5, relatively soon. I did not reach my goal of diamond by end of preseason as intended, but will pursue it in season 5 hands down. Right now I am considering strictly playing [[Jax]] top unless stuck in another role, have begun practicing him in normals a bit more to get the hang of him again and intend to take him to ranked next week(Fun fact: I play horribly on the weekends). However I am not restricted to just him in case he becomes a priority ban or pick again, my entire roster of 'not shit at' champs are below.

[quote=LevasK]Good luck reaching Diamond and this might be a very obvious advise, but I think should reduce the numbers of champions you play per role to 3-4, if you are trying to climb.[/quote]

[quote=Savlonic]Yeah, the list is moreof "I know how to play these to a basic-just a bit over basic level", I only actually play about 8 champs avidly. Rest I have played at one point, but hardly touch them anymore except in normals or when I'm stuck with a role and don't have anything else to pick. "Honest" list is something along the lines of [[Maokai]], [[Gnar]], [[Swain]], [[Rumble]] for top [[Jayce]] mid Any Flavor-Feral-Flare champ, because as far as I'm concerned they're the same champ, just less cc then one another. [[ezreal]] [[Annie]] because I don't like "real support champs" unless it's [[thresh]] Edit: Most recent games weren't posted as I figure they weren't 'honest' games in my opinion. Leona in first game was tilt central and made fights really easy because she kept missing CC. Akali in the second game was bent on feeding it seemed just because our team got warwick, who is apparently 'still op beyond balls' despite doing nothing all match. [img=http://puu.sh/dA3KQ/884cfc0083.jpg] This was a filthy match, I took AP masteries so early game vs riven was painful and ultimately just played horrible all game, luckily the godyr carry kicked into gear.[/quote]

[quote=Savlonic]I should probably stick to SS'ing end game lobbies, but kinda just zone out doing so and dive straight into the next game almost everytime. Here's history thus far today after that jayce game. [[Gnar]] - Got against kassadin, easiest lane available to me pretty much, got one gank from panth because kass was very far up, then just continued the pubstomp. Only deaths were from dives or dive cleanup, GP ult and flash at their inner bot, and then kass top outer, ignite tick finished him off. [[Maokai]] - Got ganked just a bit after tping back to lane, darius then begins to spiral out of control, mid lane went 0-6 to kat who also began roaming, j4 never ganked lanes till we were already too behind, very unfortunate [[Rek'sai]] - Globalled [[Lucian]] anytime I reached him while his [[relentless pursuit]] was down. [[Renekton]] mid into our [[zed]] got stomped and tried to camp top with [[irelia]] to keep me behind early and they lost too much cause of it. [[Jayce]] - Warwick syndrome, he got his gromp stolen by support, whether on purpose or accident, doesn't matter, he afked the last 10 minutes cause of it. [[Nidalee]] - Wasn't able to get spears on jinx when needed, panth pubstomped top with his absurd early game(javelin toss farming is fun..), and failed to steal their 3rd dragon which was pretty much the point of no return.

[quote=Savlonic][img=http://puu.sh/dDUm5/9d7b3de0ab.jpg] This one was a fun one, our renekton first pick decided to go mid once vlad was locked in so I went LB top, traded 1 for 1's all of early to mid game, but then late game(DFG complete specifically) game was more or less over for them. QR Combo one shot soraka, W would halve or less Fizz and vayne. Very little they could do. Also Lee was on top of countering j4 and shutting down fizz[/quote]

[quote=emoriam]Good Luck on your ranked journey in the new season ^^ Great to see that you have got a huge champion pool compared to mine for instance (just about three champions each role). Just wondering why you consider playing Lee top lane instead of jungle?[/quote]

[quote=Savlonic][quote=emoriam]Just wondering why you consider playing Lee top lane instead of jungle?[/quote] I do take lee in the jungle sometimes, but I enjoy him top lane much more due to his heavy kill pressure on a majority of laners. He can split push well, granted you can do that as jungle anyways, but you free up the spot that'd normally be spent on jungle item, for [[Last whisper]] or [[ravenous hydra]] which are the only two damage items you'd ever really need on him. Though if I'm ahead I generally just farm my lane opposition unless out numbered and go pure damage+[[Sightstone]]. Also I'm not particularly fond of pre 6 ganking because I feel like my damage on him is always lacking compared to what I normally expect so I go on tilt and farm jungle all game and just lose the game because of it. It's a shame really, I'm usually on top of ganking with [[Vi]] or [[Rengar]], but when it comes to [[lee sin]] I just can't.[/quote]

[quote=Savlonic][img=http://puu.sh/dGPE0/97a5a4bd46.jpg] This match, was so easy at the start, but apparently when I flashed to finish an LB it was a KS hands down according to our tris, who I didn't know if they were still in range or not to hit them again. After that, they sold their IE and everything else and went AP and tilt farmed bot all game. We only barely won after they attempted to tower dive me and zed who were the only people keeping us afloat, darius was fine but couldn't do much by himself. Soraka nearly won enemy the game in our first attempt to end, vayne got darius with 4 stacks of blood and zed ult with a full combo from zed and blade and barely survived due to sheer healing from raka.[/quote]

[quote=Savlonic][img=http://puu.sh/dHAJL/1b58954302.jpg] Game after a pretty traumatic loss, they first picked nasus, intended to swain or vlad naturally, but then veig lock came out and shut down that idea. Barely missed my only times to kill him alone in lane, luckily he liked putting himself in gankable positions so he didn't get to the point of carrying in time. Graves split pushed bot inner to both nexus towers dead(I showed up near end to tank and finish off the last), afterwards we got fourth drag, and bar, just casually strolled in knocking over their team like bowling pins and won.[/quote]

[quote=Savlonic][img=http://puu.sh/dMVnY/1f86af6232.jpg] It's been a few days, and I'm pretty surprised with the outcome of this match, lee got FB on riven, we both flashed unfortunately to secure, after back I roamed bot with tp, secured us a triple, half the tower's health, and dragon. Went back top, azir and lee followed, killed riven again, did it again with just lee a bit afterwards, panth was there as well. Just a continuous stream of keeping her behind. [img=http://puu.sh/dNro3/84ec6e56e4.jpg] Kass top, more or less a free lane, had one 1v1 that was pretty close but after that I took him out with ease. roamed at level 3 to mid, gave a kill for one because I missed my chance to flash swain's [[nevermove]] and got greedy regardless, luckily vi got the kill and snowballed it to all hell. Graves just flat out beat the 2v2 lane, lb had it a bit rough but didn't matter in the end, J4 Swain tilt was apparent at the end due to toxicity in lobby.[/quote]
