Vapora's Ranked Journey to ... Whatever he...

Ive had 3 afks before, it sucks even more when the other team is being jerks about it.

I've had 3 afks various times before, and even 4 afks once, but never in ranked.

I meant in ranked yeah, happens to me all the time in ranked

Warmogs rush after wriggles is good on olaf but its not a solo queue stomp build as much as its a teamfight team oriented build. In solo queue I usually go hexdrinker-maw/brut-youmuus and triforce/mallet to carry my team as olaf.

I'll try it out next time I play Olaf.

Also, played 4 more ranked games today, forgot to screeny 2, but 3 were with Talon.



The 2nd one which I didn't screeny was 8/0/2. Last one was with Blitz, defeat with 1/7/7. Currently standing at 1286 Elo.

Last 2 matches:


First game was easy really. Ez was managing to make me lose some farm by shoving every single wave into the tower and our Rengar didn't seem to notice it all that much despite my "Rengar, come get another kill"s. He did think to gank twice though, and we killed Ez both times. At the start of the game Ez was more fed than me through across-the-map kills with his ult, which was extremely irritating. But even out-farming me and having more kills than me, his Trinity Force didn't stand any chance against my Infinity Edge. :P In fact, the first time I got into the lane after getting Infinity Edge, I auto-attacked Ez for a 400 damage crit, then auto-attacked a minion and insta-killed it with a crit, then auto-attacked Ez for another 400 damage crit, then critted 2 more minions. 5 crits in a row with 25% crit chance, wat????

Second game was much more frustrating. Caitlyn was doing the same as the Ezreal in our last game was doing, just shoving every wave into the tower to try to get me to lose CS. She lacked the ability to time last-hits while pushing like Ez can with Mystic Shot though and ended up missing more CS than I did, which was kind of silly considering what she was trying to achieve, lol. Eventually Gragas came to gank, and when he got there he opened up with his dash thing, which hit both allistar and Caitlyn, then died to the Nunu ult that had been charging up in the back brush the entire time. It was incredibly stupid and ****ing incredible bad luck that that happened. I mean, Caitlyn had been shoving every wave into the tower the entire game, yet Nunu thought it would be a good idea to gank us from the brush, which we were rarely at the entire laning phase? And Caitlyn kept on shoving waves into the tower while Nunu was in the brush, but it actually succeeded because Gragas's gank made us all go into the brush he was hiding in? I managed to kill Caitlyn, but Katarina came onto the lane and Alistar, Nunu and her were able to take down my tower, like 10 minutes into the game. This made it really hard for me to farm without getting ganked, and we ended up doing some very early team-fights mid. In all these team-fights we seemed to be winning, but Darius just kill secured every single kill in the teamfights, even when there was no chance of the victim getting away. Meanwhile, Caitlyn randomly scored a quadra kill in the first team-fight they won, with nothing but Berserker's Greaves, 2 Doran's Blades, Pickaxe and Cloak of Agility. Her team wasn't even leaving the kills for her or anything, she was just scording random last-hits. Then next teamfight she did it again. And again. And that is the story of how the AD carry with 0 kills and very little farm managed to go 12/5 from 0/4. Meanwhile, our Blitzcrank thought it would be smart to have a Cloth Armor in his inventory even when he didn't have enough space for wards. When asked to sell it and buy wards, he responded with "But I need thornmail -.-". Thornmail shuts down AD carries better than Randuin's Omen does. Right. Then he told Darius to buy a Thornmail too, and got angry when Darius said it wasn't good. At some point Blitz had a Blasting Wand too, which I guess he'd been planning to upgrade into Rod of Ages along with his Catalyst the Protector. In the end, they started baroning while we had no wards despite my frequent "Somebody ward baron"s. When we saw Alistar and Nunu headed for baron after the rest of them had been ss for a while my team finally realized they might be baroning, and Blitz rushed to ward it ( LOL as if that made a difference at this point! ), then stayed near their range while they baroned. We couldn't really get to the baron because we were too far away and mid needed defending so no one except Blitz had bothered to go to it. And of course, right after they got the baron, Blitz died because he was too stupid to run away. No idea what he thought he'd accomplish there, it's not as if he could steal the baron on his own. 4 of them pushed top to take down the tower while Caitlyn pushed mid to our nexus towers, so even though she was so ****ing fed I tried to take her on as I'd managed to kill her 1v1 various times before. When she first saw me, I Rocket Jumped to her, and she responded with that backwards dash thing of hers that slows you. I had red buff so I decided to keep chasing with Flash, to which she decided to keep escaping to with her own Flash. So I went back to the base where the rest of my team had managed not to die to their 3v4. After I joined them though they kept getting caught 1 by 1 and there was no chance of us winning the fight with so many of us dead. -14 Elo despite Nunu being 1377 Elo, and everyone on their team except Alistar having higher Elo than me. Alistar's elo was too low to show, so I guess he must have been 500 Elo or something for me to lose so much.

Easy win. Their Singed turned into ultra-aggressive mode early on RIGHT when Rengar decided to come and gank, and he was running Teleport + Ignite so he had no way to escape. After that I farmed the next wave, then recalled, got some items and headed back top while Rengar gave Cassiopeia back the blue. I went top via the river to ward it on the way there, and it turned out Malphite and Singed were sitting their in the brush waiting for me to come to kill me. I flashed out after Singed flung me and Rengar had been conveniently giving Cass the bllue so he was extremely near, and I picked up another kill on Singed while he killed Malphite. Game just continued to be piss easy because their entire team kept making stupid mistakes that were punished by being very unlucky, lol.



Easy loss this time. First pick called top, went into the game, and stated that he'd forgotten to switch his runes and masteries, and he was using his AP ones, on Lee Sin. Meanwhile I'd been forced to support but their AD carry was Ezreal, so seeing as landing grabs on him was going to be pretty much impossible I picked Ali. But Taric warded the brush I was camping and I couldn't get near Ez without him and Taric throwing everything they had on me and dropping me pretty low. We lost bot because I'm a **** Ali and Noc didn't successfully gank our lane a single time, Lee lost top, and Cass lost mid but managed to pick up a few kills from either Rengar doing fail ganks, or by ganking top.

Am back! I started duo queueing with my friend Verus Vox yesterday, and seeing as he's over 100 Elo under me, what we've been doing is I first-pick Blitz or Ez for him, depending on what he wants to play, and he last-picks Katarina for me. So far we have a 100% win ratio in our duo queue, apart from 1 game where I was lagging really bad in champion select, and I was unable to trade champions with Verus, which ended in me going into the game as Blitz with AD carry masteries + runes and him going into the game as Graves with support masteries + runes. But aside from that fail, we've won all our games. :D Here's a screeny of them.




Idk whether it's the duo queue or the spamming Katarina that's making us win so much, but whatever it is, it's working. Aiming for gold, which at this rate will be super easy to reach. After that I'll keep duoing with Verus to get him to gold too. :P Then I'm not gonna bother going for plat or any higher Elo, seeing as it's resetting so soon anyway. Will hopefully reach gold this weekend.

P.S. Katarina's my new Elo farming tool, I've decided.

I give up, it's impossible.




Even when I penta I lose. What's the point in trying? I end every Kat game with scores like 15/6 and only win 30% of my games. My pre-made partner isn't good enough to carry, only to not feed, and I can't carry games on my own. I just give up.

1. Posts a match history with 6/7 games won, one week ago
2. Shows 1 loss in the next post (now, a week after)
3. Gives up

What happened in between? :P
