Basically the game started out by Graves walking towards the triangle brush near bot lane, then being asked by Nocturne to cover red, so I decided to take over in the triangle brush, but by then Ezreal and Lulu had gotten there and Ez got First Blood.
After that we started laning and Gangplank pretty much lost top right away, in bot lane we were poking back and forth with both AD's going even in cs despite Ezreal's slight advantage and in mid... well, Winter disconnected a lot :P
Eventually we lost bot too, because Graves would dash in at random moments expecting me to follow up, but because he never really announced going in it was hard to do so. I also screwed up an ult when Rengar came to dive us as I was trying to hit all three of the enemies (Rengar + their bot lane) and, in doing so, took too much time to actually use it and Graves had already died.
In the end pretty much everyone flamed each other though none of us played well. Not happy about anything this game, including my own play.

Whenever I read posts about elo hell, I see players asking "well, what am I supposed to do if my teammates lose lane and start flaming each other?"
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the answer. Play Brolaf..... and roleplay.
"Don't worry broskis, we got this" (after the enemy Brand got fed early because of a failed Lee gank)
"Not cool, bro" (on all chat after dying)
"Boom, baby!" (after we won our first teamfight)
"Bro, we're ahead, the only way we can lose is if we make more mistakes, so let's focus on avoiding that rather than flaming. Do you got that bro?!" (after two teammates died in their jungle because they desperately wanted the enemy red after we had won a teamfight >.>)
"Get on the pain train, woo woo!" (after winning another teamfight, 5-0 this time)
As for some more serious info, laning phase was a breeze after an early Lee gank that forced Cho to back (I had 75 cs when Cho had ~30), but after ~15-20 minutes we went into the teamfighting phase and **** got crazy. Everyone started farming champions rather than minions (you can tell by the amount of cs everyone got), we were constantly fighting and going for objectives. Luckily pretty much every fight ended in our favour and we eventually won quite easily despite Brand being really fed early.

Dat triple Doran's Ashe D: That 0/0/28 support! I really need to learn Olaf, he's so good, I see him winning games everywhere. Keep winning!
I might just pick up olaf jungle if shaco gets nerfed to ****.

Played these earlier today, but forgot to post apparently, oops
Nooooooooooooooooo my 100% winrate on Olaf :(
I had a pretty tough laning phase against Singed after a pretty early Shaco gank, but I managed to stay almost even on cs despite Singed pushing hard and tanking my minions in between my two towers (I hate it when he's strong enough to do that).
Meanwhile bot was losing pretty hard though, so when we got into teamfights we were overall behind because mid had been relatively even as far as I can remember (with both mid laners roaming a lot).
Things took a turn for the good after the first couple of teamfights as Vayne got some kills and Miss Fortune either got caught or was charged down by me, but after they got a free Baron the game turned in their favour and we didn't recover from it.
I feel I could've done better in some teamfights as I'd focus Zyra and stick to her until she died before switching to MF even though she was a higher priority target, but overall I am relatively happy about my performance. The Singed I was laning against is currently 25-8 in ranked with the Mad Chemist and played pretty well, too.
Hmm, for a jungle game that was not bad. I planned on ganking mid early to get Winter to snowball, but Ahri backed off for no apparent reason so I went top instead (figuring my teammate there might need some help considering the matchup) and Jax got First Blood on Singed.
I tried ganking bot a couple of times, but some miscommunication between the two laners there caused them to die several times before I was even there. At the same time, however, Winter was starting to win mid. I also stole Shaco's blue buff and some wolves.
Not long after that, Shaco successfully ganked two out of three lanes, so I was a bit worried we'd fall behind, but luckily that wasn't the case. In fact, bot got some pretty random kills (as far as I can remember anyway), which allowed us to force Dragon and put heavy pressure on the enemy towers. Also, while we started teamfighting more, Jax was splitpushing so he eventually got their inhibitor turret down on his own. Not all fights were ending well for us (mainly because we were never really together), but we kept forcing objectives (some dragons, towers and eventually Baron) and won the game quite easily in the end.

Pretty much why I've been trying to avoid support as much as possible at this elo. Miss Fortune traded with Ezreal a lot even though they had a Soraka and she got hit by pretty much every Q. Then if she'd die it would either be my fault for not picking Taric (because for some reason she believed that being able to stun someone is stronger than being able to polymorph one enemy and slow both in a 2v2 fight) or the jungler's fault for not helping enough.
You'd think someone with 149 games played as MF this season already would know how to AD, but she didn't even understand the basic concepts of the lane. I don't generally like blaming it entirely on others, but there's no way around it for this one I'm afraid. I don't mind someone being bad but it's trying to blame it on others that annoys me.
That guy needs a serious change in attitude if he ever wants to become anything more than complete and utter trash.

Janna got grabbed by Blitzcrank quite a couple of times, but in the end it was ok as they made the mistake of diving me which gave me a double kill (I outplayed them, but it was a pretty dumb move to begin with). Winter did pretty well in this one too. For more info on that, check Winter's thread.

Bit sad that I still lost 14 elo overall :c
