Client disconnected during the loading screen, which is better than crashing entirely during champion select. I got in the game about 1:42, so just far enough out that my laners weren't in a position to help me with a leash, which was sort of crucial because Xin Zhao spent a lot of time invading on me this game and had the leash gone as planned I wouldn't have been around for him to mess with. I spotted him out and called for assistance. Sona and Tristana moved to respond, however Tristana stayed in lane, which was also crucial as the three of us could have picked up Xin. Instead I end up dying though I did enough damage to Xin that Sona was able to kill him. More invasion with my Flash down. Fairly annoying. Should have played a bit safer that I did with my Flash down. With all the attention of Xin and their other laners coming over to pile on it wasn't until Mid-Late game until I came online and started doing work. Fortunately for me Zed was getting work done, Nasus reached a point where he could really make life hard for Riven, and Tristana also came online and started wrecking. Props for the team for sticking with it despite a fairly rough early game for all of us.

I should have bought a Banshee's Veil for this one. I kept Ahri and Varus zoned out of several fights but at the cost of my life each time. A chance at blocking a Charm would have been helpful. That and maybe a Sterak's Gage since I was doing backline diving duties. What I was doing worked for a couple of team fights as my team was able to clean-up. However in the last fight there front line proved greater than myself and Darius and they had two Mountain Dragons to our one Air Dragon so they were able to cut through our base with ease after the fight.

I really went too hard on a couple of fights and ended up dying in situations where I might have survived to continue to help my team after the fight, so all in all I am going to lane this one at my feet.

Well, having an Anivia that was not the best on Anivia and a Morgana that DCd twice during laning phase didn't help, but I'll take this one.

One of those freaking games. I locked in Graves as first pick. No one steps up and picks up a tank so there was that that. Then our Mid wasn't paying attention and locked in an ADC because they are thinking they are playing ADC and not Mid. If we hadn't already been all AD I would have likely been fine with Tristana Mid, but Twitch offered to go into the solo lane and Tristana accepted. Tryndamere just got ****ped on by Illaoi uhm, like use your ult when she ults man, but nope. I got suprise ganked by Zac at my Red buff since he isn't someone that I think of as doing jungle invades, so my bad on that one. Neither Mid or Top responded too my pings quickly enough so as we were chasing Zac out of our jungle Twisted Fate shows up and finishes me off. And somehow, not having any Top pressure, or Mid pressure or Bot pressure is all my fault. Sorry behind here. Trying to catch up a bit. But whatevs.

lol man I believe you should dodge this game from team selection. It was obvious it will be free elo for the opponents.I have made this mistake a lot of times. Its better to dodge when something looks fishy.. This Trynda looks unranked tho that just became 30 and played ranked. xD

Yeah, I have a habit of trying to play the games out no matter how they go, but for this one I should have pulled the trigger and dodged when the support didn't pick up a tank and definitely when Mid locked in Tristana. :-/

The Tryndamere was a S4 vs a S2 Illaoi, though I didn't know that at the time. I did know that Tryn should win that match-up so it wasn't a lane I was expecting to have to put a huge amount of effort into. I did come Top early and pushed her out of lane so Tryn could farm in peace for a bit, but I was not rewarded for my efforts.

We might have actually been able to pull this one out of the ****ter if people had actually focused on playing the game, but half my team was tilted from champion select. I ended up muting everyone including the enemy team after the Zac started mouthing off in all-chat after the early jungle invade. I guess someone got onto Tryn about feeding like crazy as he eventually AFKd which made any turn around truly impossible.

Yay, I won one! Didn't hurt that the rest of my team was doing well. Was pleased that I used Barrier to survive an all in by Gragas and betwixt that and some damage from my tower I managed to kill him. Jarvan IV also came through and locked up Gragas long enough for me to kill him. The farm totals in that game. XD

Darius - could you leave me alone ww, Bot needs your help (after I turned around and killed him again right after he came back to lane). And he was kind of right. But I needed to make sure Yasuo stop hemorrhaging. Get it. ;-)

Lissandra was doing well and Yas had some roam opportunities. That let us reinforce Bot lane. The game started turning in our favor at that point despite some ill advised dives under their base turrets.

...This is one of those games where I should probably just have let Top lane wither. However, I've played that game before. Their X laner gets fed and then they take over the game. And this level of play people are barely coordinated enough to deal with that (e.g. some games your team is and some games it isn't). This is one of the games where it wasn't. From what I could tell, Fiora wasn't actually trying to fight Jayce after she died a couple of times. He was just far enough ahead that he was able to poke her down and all in her pretty much at will and she would only win if she had her ult up and played it perfectly. I went Top and almost killed him. Usually that is enough to get a person to back off and base, but he managed to snipe Fiora from out of the fog of war. Le sigh. This whole affair tilts the hell out of our Bot lane, which pretty much made them incapable of dealing with additional pressure from Amumu. which tilted them even further and got them *****ing at me. You never gank...blah, blah, blah. Yeah I'm trying get Fiora on her feet. Oh, did I just gank Bot and help you murder Morgana? I did. Now shut the hell up and stop typing. More typing. Mute. Mute.

Jayce was able to roam around and help snowball the other lanes. Since a good chunk of our team was whining more than they were playing we couldn't get it together to pull out a win.

Irritating.

The funny thing is that it is the supp that does the flaming. xD.
Jungle is the hardest position to climb out of silver if you play solo. Riot will give you a lot of times 2 or 3 lanes losing.

Yeah our support in that game was obnoxious, hence the report.

Some games it certainly seems like you get a bunch of laners that are touched. But the real problem with jungling at Silver is knowing where to focus your attention as jungler. I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of the lane match-ups or the jungle match-ups. That means I'm playing in a reactionary/opportunistic way rather than a proactive way. Ideally you would look at the lanes. Know which ones are going to need help and path in a way that puts you in that lane an opportune time for a gank. Or alternatively, you would know when you have a winning jungle match-up and go and make their jungler a non-factor in the game.
