VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/61991ef05fd7c65b84bb9b0d48c73d82.png width=800] [br] Ugh. Demoted again. [[Vel'koz]] game - Our support [[Xerath]] had all the kills and no sight stone. [[Udyr]] kept trying to gank the [[Gangplank]] who would eat and orange and scamper off, I think it is really awesome that their is effectively no animation for the placement of the third barrel that I could tell. 1 yep, 2 yep, 3...wtf where did that come from. [[Vayne]] and [[Xerath]] got caught out passed our ward line. We lost and inhibitor and Elder Dragon for that and then [[Vayne]] came flying out of the gate to take vengeance on her killers only to [[Tumble]] straight into a barrel chain that GP had set up in the undwarded bush right next to our base. [[Garen]] goes in after.... [[Hecarim]] - [[Kha'zix]] kept killing me, and their [[Annie]] kept killing our [[Kennen]], and their [[Teemo]] kept killing our [[Gangplank]]. Like how does Teemo actually get close enough to a GP to kill him once he has barrels... Our [[Draven]] was actually doing pretty well for himself, but he was like, yeah don't think my backpack is big enough for the lot of you. [[Kha'zix]] - What the hell figured i would try the bug, except for Bot lane lost their turret 7 minutes into the game. Apparently [[Sona]] started with heal so Lux and Jinx were just able to poke and zone them with basically no return fire. That enabled Lux and Jinx to rotate Mid after they got bored menacing Bot lane. Then rotate Top to rinse and repeat. We made a go at a comeback and then our Cho'Gath decided to just one man army it and get CCd and killed. He called for a Baron at one point, three of us responded and the other two didn't. They got caught and killed and the rest of us took a bunch of damage or died in the retreat. Like WTF they have not one dead and we have none of their inhibitors and we don't know where they are. Not a good combination for taking a Baron surreptitiously. Not really sure who to play in the jungle at the moment. Feel like you have to have healthy and fast clears and be a good duelest in case of and invade, and that leaves a rather small pool of champions, none of which I would describe as simple. Note. Destroy all the blasting plants in your jungle even if it slows you clear down enough that you get killed because of taking the extra time because invariably an invader will use the damn thing to shoot themselves over the dragon/baron pit and get away. I though Lee and Shaco were irritating enough with such antics. Now every johnny come lately can do it. Thanks for your life and buff and the missed farm your laners are losing responding to this only to watch me blast myself over the wall! See ya! ;) Grr.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/5e23f7d835545e32e931af56eca4e085.png width=800] [br] Our Bot lane got absolutely slaughtered. [[Annie]] picked up her two kills on a roam and other than that did very little before she got pissed and quit. I was having a pretty good time. [[Graves]] jungle is fun, though there is a bit of micro to the kiting that you have to get used and still pay attention to the map.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/4d9404498a27feabcb4cb368c4cc3ab9.png width=800] [br] One auto leash from our ADC who thought it was odd when late game he got assassinated by [[Talon]] while off on his own farming Top lane. This felt a lot messier than it should have. [[Irelia]] had some oddball plays that got her killed and there was very little synced about our engages. Final fight I told [[Pantheon]] to [[Exhaust]] Talon and he did so we won the fight and ran it up Mid having already taken out their Nexus turrets before overstaying our welcome.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/be7665ba9f90ba7849b25536bec4972a.png width=800] [br] Handed Top lane a [[Flash]], then a kill. Mid lane a [[Flash]] and a blown [[Anivia]] passive. Bot lane two kills from ganks and all my laners still lost their lanes. Warded up Blue side jungle. Spam pinged that Master Yi was visible on a ward and my Bot lane still dies to a [[Master Yi]] gank like two minutes later. #feelsbad[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/4d88d4d270f1d04f2a533bfc6c60573c.png width=800] [br] I didn't do a lot early game except keep [[Jax]] from doing anything by not dying to him on an invade that I spotted out on a ward I put out and just running away until [[Jayce]] moved to respond and then warding for my laners and calling out where Jax was likely to be based on his path to try and get at me. Bot lane traded back and forth with the opposing Bot lane. I helped [[Morgana]] kill [[Jax]] and [[Katarina]] a time or two. [[Morgana]] roamed a decent amount to help me out and occassionally the other laners. We tried a bit of a throw in their base after taking their Mid turret and inhibitor. I pinged my team out to collect an Infernal Drake, but they weren't having it. Only [[Morgana]] and myself got out alive.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/728bfaf1dae7621c4838082acff55c1e.png width=800] [br] So Talon, how about you buy a [[Hexdrinker]]? No? Excellent we get to deal with a fed [[Kennen]]. I watched Talon fail a wall hop. Can you actually do that? Early game was a cluster. Talon dying repeatedly. Kha invading me and no one responding until he was already over the dragon pit. Then they chased him into a choke point except by that time [[Kennen]] had responded and [[Camille]] have responded. So we lose two there. I ran into [[Kha'zix]] again before I had any armor and [[Rammus]]'s cooldowns are simply too long to deal with his kit early, so that was my first death. Had to build some early MR because of the fed [[Kennen]] figured I needed to go faster so I opted for [[Dead Man's Plate]] before [[Thornmail]]. We managed only one good team fight and that netted us our first dragon. The next fight our Nexus went down to like 100 health before we fought them off. Then [[Camille]] [[Teleport]]ed in and back doored the Nexus while we were busy chasing the rest of their team. So not really sure what to do here. In this case I think I just needed to go straight to my Red buff instead of taking wolves first. By the time I go there, [[Kha'zix]] had it down to about 2/3 of its health. Maybe that is the trick vs invading junglers? Will have to give it a whirl.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/f919db3ab609a0333b8ce33ca5400dbd.png width=800] [br] [[Warwick]] crushed Top. We were doing decently in Bot lane, fending off a number off gank attempts with [[Ezreal]] picking up a couple of kills. Then the gang banging of Bot began in earnest, with [[Warwick]] [[Teleport]]ing in, I [[Flash]]ed in front of [[Ezreal]] to take WWs ult, IIRC Ezreal did pick up a kill in that mess, but eventually went down. [[Corki]] was doing decently in Mid again until he started getting flash taunted and ulted by [[Rammus]] and Warwick. I tried roaming a couple of times to grab [[Brand]] i got him a couple of times but they always had more people show up to those skirmishes than we did, so he was generally able to get away albeit on low health.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/8f034bff98b758b2957d1776395b5c65.png width=800] [br] Ah, that was a little more like it. [[Nasus]] declined to give me a leash. [[Ahri]] came over and did some damage to it. I was going to go and try to find [[Olaf]] since he tends to get really low in the jungle for more efficient clearing, but I opted to do a full clear given the situation. Ended up rather low by the time I was doing Krugs, [[Soraka]] noticed and came over and made it a little less dicey. After that I basically camped Top lane, helping [[Nasus]] to kill [[Gangplank]] at least twice. Yeah he can cleanse the [[Wither]] with oranges, but if I am behind him I have enough damage between myself and Nasus to kill him. Nasus did not stop split pushing. It was a while before we were in a position to match him with pressure in other areas. He died for it a couple of times but the doggy was munching through towers and making them work for the kills. The team called for Baron pretty early in the game and we were in a position to do it, but we had no armor and Nasus couldn't be bothered to trot over and give us a paw. I saw [[Katarina]] on the mini-map and I'm like we gotta go Now! Kat couldn't resist all the low health targets so she went in and I blew her head off without anyone on our team going down. Funniest moment of the game for me was when Katarina caught me running through Mid and jumped on me and ulted me. I tagged her with Challenging [[Smite]] and dashed on by her with minimal loss of health. She typed in all chat "Well, that was awkward." Felt good to go on a murder spree and also do it cleanly.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/9c957b2a93933c35f8d4de227bca35a0.png width=800] [br] Kind of a low grade stomp. I had a good idea where [[Irelia]] was most of the time, so that stymied some of her gank attempts. Teamed up for some kills in every lane. Would have liked to have farmed a bit more, wasted some time when Bot lane called me up without a lot coming out of it.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/67837a4fe19c99d584fba273eaeaac32.png width=800] [br] Kind of gifted a win as [[Nocturne]] forgot [[Smite]] so that effectively took him out of the game for at least the first 15 minutes and made it very hard for them to steal objectives. Still the early game was a cluster. [[Jinx]] and [[Annie]] just kept getting bubbled and murderized by [[Nami]] and [[Miss Fortune]]. Then later it was tidal wave into ult and maybe a bubble for good meausure. I don't really like dealing with [[Cassiopeia]] as Rammus. She just kites the hell out of you unless you have [[Flash]]. In one river fight I caught Miss Fortune and taunted her and she still managed to somehow flash over the river wall. Maybe that input was buffered before the taunt took effect? Not really sure, but I know that I sometimes find it awkward to target it on someone that appears to be in range. E.u. I am pressing the button and they are in range and nothing happens. Not pleased with the number of early deaths. They had a crap ton of slows and while Rammus can be fast with Q, if you happen to clip anything targetable while rolling you will pop out of your ball and lose all that movement speed. My original plan was to gank the [[Kayle]] into uselessness but [[Riven]] kept pushing her under turret so I couldn't make any plays there. Then Bot lane was breaking the assistance ping. Not ideal, but I helped stem the bleeding up there a little bit while Riven made some progress in Top lane.[/quote]
