how to get carried 101



I killed Gnar 3 times in 4 minutes with 0 deaths on my part, and that still happened. I wish I were good at Vayne...

So the one game I play well in, the enemy Yasuo gets insanely fed, is unkillable, and carries their team 4v5 to end my promos. Legit.

Even more proud of this game.



I made a not-sure-if-stupid-or-not call to fight Sivir and Thresh after Sivir had just recalled and had a Pickaxe vs my Doran's Blade, and while I started off at like 70% HP, because she was fighting in my minion wave while I was out of range of all her minions, and initially I thought I could easily beat her with that advantage. It ended up being a whole lot closer than I thought it would, and cost me a Flash while being less than 1 auto-attack away from death, but somehow it worked and either me or MissMaw got the kill, I don't remember who anymore.

I recalled and came back with a B. F. Sword and Boots while Sivir still only had her Pickaxe. We were dominating the lane pretty hard and there was nothing they could do against us at that point, no amount of minion advantage would have allowed them to win a fight against us. So I positioned myself behind their minions to block them access to our minions, and just froze the lane for as long as I could. The freeze lasted ages because it started off with having more enemy minions on the lane than our minions, so I just constantly let them wipe out our minions, then tank them before they reached the tower, let them kill the next wave then tank them again, etc. Sivir wasn't able to get a single CS during this time. When that freeze finally ended (I don't remember how, maybe a gank), it wasn't long before I got another identical freeze going on, and Sivir decided she may as well just sit at her tower all day seeing as she wasn't getting farm or XP either way.

From the screenshot above it doesn't look like the CS difference was that bad, but this is what it was at one point:




After laning phase it became a lot harder for me to keep up my CS while becoming a whole lot easier for Sivir to do so because of how strong their team was as a whole at the time. If I hadn't been as strong as I was (and Sivir as weak as she was), the game would have been ridiculously one sided. It felt like we were getting stomped for a while anyway, as Garen was unkillable having won lane really hard against Riven, and Diana + Annie were both really strong too. And Rek'Sai was pretty damn useless too.

Even though we were losing for a while we did manage to stay in the game by constantly making picks thanks to MissMaw's bindings and Ahri's charms, letting Ahri pick up a lot of kills for herself and making her strong, and allow Riven to catch up a bit too, as she went from 1-5 to 5-7 at one point.

I don't remember too much about what happened after laning phase really, I just remember that after losing most teamfights, in the last teamfight I played really smart and managed to do a ton of damage without taking much myself, and one of our team members who died early on in the fight said "D GRAVES GOD" while he watched me carry the fight. c: After acing them we were able to end the game as 3.

Overall that felt like one of the most deserved wins I've ever had on ADC. That's the highest CS lead I've established in lane over anyone ever, not counting smurfing or unbalanced normals. I was so pissed off that it seemed like we were gonna lose until the very last teamfight. ;-;

Wow, you actually wrote a lot about a game you played for once and you still didn't mention how you trolled me into a ranked game when I thought we were playing a normal.

edit: The first kill was indeed mine.

I didn't know if I should mention it or not. :C

MissMaw did indeed think we were playing a normal even though the invite CLEARLY SAID RANKED SOLO QUEUE. So she went afk at level 1 right behind our bot lane tower, rather than at it, and the enemy team decided to invade and checked a brush where they were able to see her afk'ing nearby. Extremely unfortunate that they both invaded and checked that specific brush, but it ended up costing us FB.

Apparently she also kept alt tabbing during laning phase to talk to people because she wasn't taking it seriously (which I do not approve of even in normals :l), so overall she didn't play as well as she otherwise would have if she'd known it was ranked.

I didn't say you didn't. But you were the one who said "What the hell, if I knew this was ranked I wouldn't have alt tabbed to talk to people in lane". :^)

I've been kinda scared to play on hey its talon since my global 16 ranked game win streak ended with a loss on Uzi Junior because I felt like my 12 game win streak on there was gonna end, and as it turns out, I was right.



We were losing all game but managed to miraculously make a tiny comeback where we won a fight with their inhibitor down while Caitlyn was alive at full HP with no one to defend the enemy nexus except taric, the enemy team had 60+ death timers. I was rejoicing at my clutch victory until the moment Caitlyn ran out of minions and kept tanking the turret on her own in an attempt to bring it down before the next wave. While Taric was attacking her.

So she died without even getting the tower and we lost.




Then I got another loss, because this Lee kept getting caught 24/7. He wasn't farming or warding or anything, he was just hanging around in ridiculous locations until the enemy team engaged on him and killed him as he tried to run away from his own stupidity.




I was sorta winning lane against Lissandra this game, but Jarvan IV just helped her turn it around. The rest of our team were winning though and she decided to troll because she "didn't want to carry them".




Top lane against Maokai, my Ignite gave me an early lead which allowed me to keep winning duels against him in the future whenever my Ignite was up.




This game was super annoying, Xerath was permanently shoving up to my tower and poking me, and had to blow his Flash every time it came off cooldown, but Zac refused to gank him no matter how vulnerable he was. I was pretty behind because of being pressured so hard, but I came back and we managed to win fights until they randomly surrendered.

So Diamond 2/1 promos. Again, no idea if I'll skip or not, everyone's ranks are random as ****. Sometimes I'm against a full diamond 1 team, sometimes a full diamond 2 team, sometimes their ranks range from diamond 5 to diamond 3 and I have a full diamond 2 team. It's confusing.
