My 3 Day Ranked Journey

[quote=CrimsonSkyz]7th ranked game: [IMG]http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag11/Lawrence_Yuen/7th.png[/IMG] Bans My team: [[alistar]], [[blitzcrank]], [[malphite]] Enemy team: [[rengar]], [[jax]], [[vladimir]] No clue why they banned these^ Top:[[shen]] vs [[darius]] Mid: [[diana]] vs [[orianna]] Bot: [[graves]] & [[taric]](me) vs [[ezreal]] & [[lulu]] Jungle: [[maokai]] vs [[lee sin]] Forced to play support again :/. I've been getting a lot better on [[taric]] so the reason we lost wasn't because I was a bad support. Most of the blame went to our ADC, [[graves]]. Even he admit he was doing horribly and fed the other team. Which is why he said, "Report me." Although I admit the [[lee sin]] was really good. Either that or he was REALLY LUCKY. The rest of the enemy team weren't great either. [[ezreal]] got fed because [[graves]] tried to 1v1 him a lot and failed because [[lulu]] kept turning [[graves]] into a squirrel. All I could do was keep damaging [[ezreal]] but he kept using [[arcane shift]] and got out of melee range. I healed [[graves]] a lot because of how reckless he was. It only took a few seconds for him to lose more than half his hp. [[graves]]' first item was [[zeal]]. Yep [[zeal]]. He didn't bother buying [[doran's blade]]s when he was behind in farm and level. During the laning phase [[maokai]] tried to gank but failed pretty much every gank. It was because of all the wards [[lulu]] put and [[ezreal]]'s mobility with [[arcane shift]]. Eventually we finally caught [[ezreal]] off guard and killed him. It was one time and would only be that one time. [[lee sin]] was built tanky so he dove me and [[graves]] a lot. [[graves]] always died first and I used everything I had on [[lee sin]]. I used [[shatter]], [[dazzle]], [[radiance]], even [[exhaust]]!!! [[lee sin]] took a lot of damage each time but he always used [[safeguard / iron will]] and escaped with like 20hp THAT LITTLE FACKER (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻!!! ;-; This happened three times with each time [[lee sin]] getting a double kill o-o... Then on the third time [[diana]] and [[maokai]] saw us getting dived so they came to help us. They were in the tribush at bottom of river by the time we died. They started fighting [[lee sin]], [[lulu]], and [[ezreal]]. I noticed [[orianna]]] and [[darius]] coming thanks to my wards :D! So I told them to run away but they didn't so they died. [[shen]] tried using his ulti on [[diana]] but once he came [[diana]] was dacapitated by [[darius]]. Then the enemy team burst [[shen]] down and they got an ace. Eventually we surrendered because of how badly they were beating us. Lost the Elo I gained from my last match ;-;[/quote]

[quote=CrimsonSkyz][quote=Pheyniex] sad 2 see graves build LW 1st... +malad on diana? <.< the bans fit the darius pick. cud have been countered with yorick/, malph. [/quote] IKR! They didn't even build much armor ;-; 8th ranked game: [IMG]http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag11/Lawrence_Yuen/8th.png[/IMG] Bans My team: [[blitzcrank]], [[alistar]], [[amumu]] Enemy team: [[shen]], [[malphite]], [[warwick]] Top: [color=#00ffff][[jayce]][/color] vs [color=#800080][[vladimir]][/color] Mid: [color=#00ffff][[ahri]][/color] vs [color=#800080][[wukong]][/color] Bot: [color=#00ffff][[vayne]] & [[taric]](me)[/color] vs [color=#800080][[twitch]] & [[kayle]][/color] Jungle: [color=#00ffff][[hecarim]][/color] vs [color=#800080][[lee sin]][/color] WHY ARE THERE SO MUCH BAD PLAYERS IN 1300~Elo?!!! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ So apparently NO ONE on my team could "support" so once again I was forced to support 4th time in a row... I said," pref top, mid, or jungle", and then one by one each spot was called and I was left with either ADC or support. So I called ADC. Then a player who didn't call any lane just locked in as [[ahri]]. The last player, who called mid, had to choose support but the teammate said,"I don't support." He didn't even choose a champ and the timer was running out so I said,"Okay I'll support you go ADC." And so the teammate chose [[vayne]]. [[jayce]] gave [[vladimir]] first blood after a gank from their [[lee sin]]. Then he kept on feeding [[vladimir]] -_-... As for [[ahri]] she was doing horribly against [[wu kong]] early game and got him fed. [[vayne]] couldn't farm at all and fed [[twitch]]. [[hecarim]] was doing okay in the beginning but everyone fed [[lee sin]]. I fed too because I was killed after trying to protect [[vayne]] as the [[lee sin]], [[twitch]], and [[kayle]] tower dove us. I stunned whoever was chasing/attacking [[vayne]] and [[exhaust]]ed anyone who got too close. SHE DIDN'T EVEN LIVE ;-; Then I was the only one left so they targeted me and killed me. Eventually the enemy kept tower diving me and [[vayne]] so everyone came to help. I did my best and [[vayne]] got some kills but I still died and she died soon after. [[ahri]] came and was able to pick up the kills. [[ahri]] got fed but the enemy [[lee sin]], [[wu kong]], [[vladimir]], and [[twitch]] were still more fed. Then I had to spend all my gold warding the entire jungle because the enemy team were all over in our jungle and no one on our team but me bought wards. NOT EVEN OUR JUNGLER ,[[hecarim]], bought wards even though he was getting COUNTER JUNGLED HARD BY [[lee sin]]. What made me sadder was that [[vayne]] rushed a [[the bloodthirster]] even though she was dying a lot and couldn't even farm and stack it! We lost the game and I lost even more Elo ;-;[/quote]

[quote=CrimsonSkyz]9th ranked game: [IMG]http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag11/Lawrence_Yuen/9th.png[/IMG] Bans My team: [[shen]], [[amumu]], [[blitzcrank]] Enemy team: [[alistar]], [[malphite]], [[rengar]] Top: [color=#00ffff][[rumble]][/color] vs [color=#800080][[teemo]][/color] Mid: [color=#00ffff][[anivia]][/color] vs [color=#800080][[diana]][/color] Bot: [color=#00ffff][[ezreal]] & [[leona]][/color] vs [color=#800080][[graves]] & [[sona]][/color] Jungle: [color=#00ffff][[maokai]](me)[/color] vs [color=#800080][[shyvana]][/color] I was able to jungle as [[maokai]] this game. Early game I had several successful ganks and got my teammates early kills. Then [[teemo]] became level 6 and harder to gank because of his evil little shrooms. [[diana]] was getting owned by [[anivia]] thanks to an early gank and got first blood. [[ezreal]] & [[leona]] fed [[graves]] early so I went down to gank them. We got [[sona]] but [[graves]] was able to dash out of range of my [[twisted advance]] so we had to get [[sona]]. Then during another gank at bot(in the river), [[leona]], [[ezreal]], [[anivia]], and me almost killed [[graves]] but he [[quickdraw]]ed and dashed through a wall([[rumble]] was at top pushing hard). We kept on the chase through the pathway in front of the dragon towards the purple team's blue buff spawn area. Then we were in a straight line and [[sona]] blasted us with a [[crescendo]] and stunned everyone. After that in came [[diana]], [[shyvana]], and [[teemo]]. [[shyvana]] transformed into a dragon and dove at us. [[graves]] used [[collateral damage]] and blasted us from far away. We took a lot of damage so we tried to run but we were killed. Then the enemy team got a free dragon. [[diana]] was losing to [[anivia]] early game so she bought a [[negatron cloak]]. Then after those teamfights she successfully got some kills and rushed a [[rabadon's deathcap]] and [[lich bane]]. In short she got fed, was tankyish, and still did a cr@pload of damage. All of my team's ultis were magic damage so the [[negatron cloak]] really helped her. NERF [[diana]] PLZ! ;-; We were grouped together a lot so the enemy team could split push. I had to roam a lot going from place to place to defend/cover a lane, and lost a lot of gold income. [[shyvana]] got fed from shutting down [[anivia]] and [[rumble]] who were destroying their lanes early game. There was a lack of wards so [[shyvana]] got fed by successfully ganking [[rumble]] and [[anivia]]. She also got a few kills off me during the teamfights. Then there was a teamfight near the enemy base. They aced us and we didn't get a single kill D: Then they got baron buff and won the game. Lost some more Elo and now I'm on a losing streak :([/quote]

[quote=CrimsonSkyz]Depressed that my Elo went from reaching 1400 back down to 1278... Dream of getting gold is slowly getting crushed ;-;[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]no offense but I think you should gaine some more knowledge before you start blaming everyone else for losing or saying stuff you don't really know about. I mean no offense but take a look at your own score. You might not be the sole reason your team lost, but you're definitely a reason. In order to win low elo games, you have to maximize your own impact on the game, going 2/6 or 0/7 minimizes your impact on the game since you won't have much gold and experience, whereas the enemy will have more experience and gold, it just snowballs out of control. Just saiyan.[/quote]

[quote=sirell]To be honest, it sounds like you should have dodged a fair few of those games, considering what went through the champ select.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Supporting is also a pretty bad idea imo unless you're duoing. :P[/quote]

[quote=oxide110]I carried myself to 1500 elo by supporting solo queue, jus saying. Support plays an incredible role on your team, if you are good enough you can win botlane easily by your actions and decide the rest of the game with your team fight influence.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]You're absolutely right and you can do it, but I'd say it's easier/faster to play a carry and feed on baddies unless support is your main role.[/quote]
