Wayne3100's Quest for Platinum (Season 3)

[quote=Pheyniex][quote=Crows foot] How is it possible for teemo to lose that lane? [/quote] [[teemo]] has no sustain. When he pokes [[Garen]] with [[blinding dart]], [[Garen]] can go in and silence him, etc...? that's how i was told. [[Garen]] can regen after.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]He was also building AP Teemo versus garen, meaning he can't kite a guy whose may counter is getting kitted. Bruiser plays safe, farms, gets Mallet, kite all the bitches.[/quote]

Seriously though, I laned against [[Renekton]] and it started off pretty even (with him slightly outfarming me most of the times). [[Olaf]] came for a very early gank and I had to [[Flash]] but luckily [[Renekton]] also [[Flash]]ed in so it was k. I warded the river after that (I started [[Crystalline Flask]] + 5x [[Health Potion]] + [[Sight Ward]]) and didn't have a lot of trouble for a while. [[Lux]] had managed to pick up First Blood in mid lane though and the first gank [[Jax]] made (bot lane) ended in a double kill for [[Caitlyn]] and a kill for [[Olaf]] as he came in for the countergank. When [[Jax]] said he'd make up for it and went bot again, pretty much the same thing happened aside from [[Nunu]] getting the third kill. So with bottom lane hopelessly lost and [[Jax]] giving up on ganking it further, he tried to gank mid but [[Lux]] had a pretty big lead on [[Katarina]] already so she almost killed them both on her own. Meanwhile in top lane, when I finally managed to get [[Renekton]] low enough to kill him with one [[Decimate]] + [[Noxian Guillotine]], [[Olaf]] came for a very successful lane gank. Basically I went in for the Q, [[Renekton]] used his ultimate (which I figured he would do so I didn't blow my ult on him yet), I [[Ignite]]d him and wanted to stick around until I could ult, but he dashed to me and stunned me as a [[Ghost]]ing [[Olaf]] ran from the brush. I died within [[Renekton]]'s stun, who soon after pushed to get top tower (the last of the three front towers to fall). After that I tried helping out mid and bot lane (both lanes were already pushed back incredibly far) and their team grouped up as well, but we never really had any big teamfights as [[Lux]] and [[Caitlyn]] were already incredibly fed and were snowballing heavily with some kills they got after some of my teammates got caught (I later got caught in a [[Lux]] snare as well but managed to survive due to having built so much health :3). I eventually managed to kill [[Nunu]], [[Olaf]], [[Lux]] and [[Renekton]] (twice) but none of the "teamfights" (it was mostly 2v2, 3v3 etc., never really 5v5) we were having ended in our favour as they were way stronger. Because our first two or three surrender votes ended 3-2, they eventually pushed us back into our base and finished the job. They could've easily gotten Baron this game too as we literally had no wards around the area (or anywhere else for that matter) unless I placed them, but they didn't really need it to be fair. The [[Renekton]] I laned against only has ~125 normal wins but I'm guessing he's a smurf because he was a pretty good player. I played decent this game but he definitely outlaned me. Elo according to my profile: 1317 Also, that reminds me that I can finally show you what I meant when I said this: [quote=Wayne3100] Throughout this season I will keep you updated on my progress (using some incredibly awesome banners Mowen made for me, but I don't want to spoil what exactly I mean with that just yet :3) [/quote] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/PEUAr.jpg][/center] :D (now let's hope I move to the right and not the left :3)[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]You don't poke Garen with blinding dart, you poke him with AA for the poision. I play AP teemo and I've never lost a Garen-lane! Ranged poke with delayed damage, which puts his regen off for like 12 secs instead of 8. Every 12-15 seconds you can get 1-2 aa's in, or deny him all farm. You are faster than Garen with base movementspeed and w passive, so you don't need the Phage for kiting early on, and if he pops q you just need to pop w and move away. But I always go Phage to FM when I go ap Teemo for survival and sticking power. Even so, GAREN CAN*T WIN! If you don't play retarded Teemo![/quote]

[quote=koksei]teemo counters garen what's there to talkabout, if he lost he is a bad teemo simple. to get back on topic. [s]You turd shouldn't have dat 1 assist![/s] That banner is funny :)[/quote]

The enemy team then picked [[Poppy]] for top which I was totally ok with. Unfortunately due to some eh.. "miscommunication", shall we say, we ended up having both an [[Akali]] and a [[Katarina]] in our team for mid (the [[Akali]] at first had clicked on [[Janna]] which caused the confusion). However, there wasn't too much flaming as [[Katarina]] simply decided to go bot with [[Ezreal]]. I was trading some blows with [[Poppy]] early game (her Q against my E) and tried poking her as much as possible with [[Undertow]] (which I maxed first) and I noticed she ran out of mana quite quickly. I eventually had her on about 30% HP (while I had about 50-60% HP myself) and she somehow started pushing so I wanted to freeze it, but [[Lee Sin]] came to gank (pretty good timing) and picked up First Blood. With [[Poppy]] buying [[Ninja tabi]] while I went back and immediately got a [[Giant's Belt]] (rushing health early feels really strong :O) I had the lane under control from then on. [[Shyvana]] came to gank a couple of times but because I managed to harass [[Poppy]] and keep her low there wasn't really that much of a threat. The second time she came top my team also picked up the Dragon, which was a good call from them. In bot lane [[Katarina]] actually managed to pick up a double kill quite early on (only a couple of minutes after the First Blood) and [[Ezreal]] later got a kill too, but some fights in the enemy jungle or near their towers during the mid game ended up badly for us with [[Cassiopeia]] and [[Shyvana]] getting double and triple kills. Meanwhile in top lane I managed to dive [[Poppy]] and kill her. With a 0-2 score, [[Poppy]] gave up on top lane and started roaming and got herself somewhat back into the game as my team didn't react properly to my pings/warnings in chat, so I quickly killed top tower before heading mid as well to start the teamfighting phase. With [[Ezreal]] and myself being pretty strong on our team and [[Cassiopeia]] being strong on theirs, we had some crazy teamfights that pretty much every time ended in both teams getting aced. [[Poppy]] picked up a lot of kills in these fights and was proving hard to handle (the fact that I even tried to stop her from reaching [[Ezreal]] when she used her ulti on him was also pretty stupid though, to be fair >.>). Despite most fights being even we managed to pick up a lot of towers and more Dragons and eventually we started winning teamfights as [[Ezreal]] managed to kill the [[Poppy]] that was charging on him while [[Cassiopeia]] was unable to stop me from killing her. After a couple of good teamfights we got all three inhibitors, picked up a Baron -because why not- and finished the game. The [[Poppy]] was a Season 2 gold player who played [[Poppy]] 39 out of 41 games last season and all 10 placement matches so far this season (going 3-7). But yeah iunno, don't think it's that great vs [[Olaf]] tbh. Elo according to my profile: 1354[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Wow, I'm surprised no one dodged a support Katarina. Good job on the win though![/quote]

[[Darius]] got First Blood in a gank top, then got another kill (not sure if top again or bot) and eventually came mid to pick up his killing spree. I then killed [[Katarina]] again as she decided it'd be a good idea to [[Shunpo]] on me in tower range (lol) while [[Darius]] was still doing work ganking bot and top. The enemy [[Cho'gath]] came mid twice but never really threatened to kill me as I dodged his [[Rupture]]s and he also got counterganked on one of his attempts to help his bottom lane, after which he was pretty much useless. Not sure why they didn't surrender (they got their first kill after we had gotten 8 and were literally getting stomped left, right and center), but we figured that if they weren't gonna give up we'd simply continue killing them in the lanes or enemy jungle. Eventually we grabbed Baron and finished the game. First ranked game this season in which I hit 100+ cs at 12 minutes (which in normals actually happens more often), but then again the game was so easy there wasn't much for me to be nervous about like in the other games :P Elo according to my profile: 1386 (5 lower than I started with after the reset, QQ)[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]You should max E vs poppy as it isn't mitigated by her really good passive, even if it means giving up some sustained damage and slow power by not maxing Q.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Good point. I felt the Q was working out well since she doesn't have sustain, but yeah, that sounds like it might've been the better choice. Cheers ^^[/quote]
