Games 9-11
Game 9 - Loss
Runes: AD, 4 Arm 5 HP, 5 MR 4 AS, 2 AS 1 Arm Quints; 21-9-0 Masteries
So this game was dumb on my part. I haven't played enough
Twitch in recent times to have his last hitting down. This was an issue as you can see by my farm. On top of that there were many bad ults on my part and super fail "assassinations". My Katarina teammate was fluxing in and out a bit with lag. Udyr didn't understand that I can't touch Poppy if she ults him and there really isn't anything I can do when it's the two of us against 4 of them. Late into the game we made some good picks that let to good fights and some objectives but ultimately we got aced in a bad fight in our base and lost. Bye-bye Promo.

Game 10 - Loss
Runes and masteries were same as above XP
So I was stupid and forgot to change out of my ADC pages and into my Support clothes. That was only a minor issue though because, as you can see,
Cho'Gath wasn't actually in game. I don't know if he had exceptionally bad lag or if he trololololled but he kept disconnecting and reconnecting all game. I tried my best to keep Graves alive and provide assistance for my team but ultimately we couldn't pull ahead without global pressure. I don't remember much else of this game so I'll just skip to my last game, the redemption.Game 11 - Victory
Runes: Magic Pen, HP/Lvl, 6 MR 3 Mana Regen, AD Quints; 21-9-0 Masteries
Apparently Death Rocket
Corki is my wheelhouse because I am on a roll with him. This game was funny because the Udyr in this game was the same one as the last and he and others doubted me and told me not to feed. HAH! Anyways, I started against Lux with TF as support and after a short time for some reason they switched. I did die to a gank after that but it didn't give Twisted Fate enough of a boost to beat me. My poke was faster and hit harder so I bullied him around. After some great skirmishes that we came out ahead in and following objectives, we strangled the enemy and grabbed a victory. Oh, and Morgana disconnected about 5 or so minutes before we won, but the gold lead was too much by that point.

Welp, hopefully only one more game until Promos again.

So I want to thank Utopus and BigBoxGamer because I'm stealing your ideas and putting up the LSI code and Match history link to my future games. If anyone cares to give a looksee, I'll put them up for the games listed previous to this post. After yesterdays games though I'm now Bronze 4, not the worst, but only slightly better than the worst, lelz.
Teemoshy sucks with GIMP
So I watched the replays of a couple of my games from monday and realized a few things:
Anyways, here are games 12-16.
Game 12 - Victory!
Game 13 - Victory, in them Promos again!
Will post the Promos later. Have to go back to work :(
- I need to get better with using activated items, I was kinda shoddy on that this week.
- I use way too much mana trying to harass in mid lane, a problem I will be working on.
- The reason I do so much damage with Death Rocket Corki is that in low elo people don't even fathom the thought of me building AP so they just build armor against the "4 AD team" leaving me to wreak havok on them with a barrage of magic damage.
- I normally start the day with a good warm-up Normal game but I like my plan to follow up Ranked losses with a Normal Draft as well. Started that this week and it was nice.
Anyways, here are games 12-16.
Game 12 - Victory!Game 13 - Victory, in them Promos again!Will post the Promos later. Have to go back to work :(

Updated my OP by swapping Annie out of my Top roster to add Gnar. I forgot how fun he is and the changes to Black Cleaver apparently make him amazing, which is true. This week I'll post my 4 games after I review them. The early tl;dr is I went 2-2 losing a game because of a troll Fiora and a Katarina who didn't know how to build. 2 Zhonya's Hourglasss and would build Void Staff even though she was whining about enemy MR until I told her to 57 times. My overall play for the day was meh. I lacked a lot of map/game awareness and made some really bad plays or misplays.

So, I asked this in BBGamer's thread but it's better if I ask in mine. Could someone check out one of my games to give me a walkthrough of good/horrible things I'm doing for some perspective. I'd like another's (more educated) opinion so I can hopefully get better and make the most of my limited play time

I felt lackluster on Monday and can hopefully make up for it next week. If anyone could review a game and run through it with me that'd be greeeaat. :)

i'll look into one of the lucian games. there's usually more to learn in defeat than in victory

Your 3/7/6 lucian gameplay analysis:
Pre-2:45 You should be autoattacking whenever possible so that you and sona don't get cheesed.
2:45 you should've been orb walking back with your sona well before they hit level 2. Dashing in was a blunder.
3:30 can't be missing that CS
3:50 you positioned too far back and let your sona get poked. She won't have mana for healing now if she wants to stay aggressive
4:25 you've got the right idea now, but she's oom. you should be telling her to make some flash play
4:35 Should've flash autoed him.
5:09 you should be hard pushing to tower so graves misses farm, or zoning janna from her creep wave.
5:40 look to whittle downgraves by Qing him through his minions.
6:30 when sona goes back like that youve gotta back off with her. You guys should TRY to stay the same length from the lane.
7:07 You should've recalled right now.
7:41 Sane idea - distance wise, you want to be the same length into your lane as your support; Let me know if you don't understand this
8:10 you should've headed to dragon right now.
10:00 OK, fiora's feeding a lot You need to create a lot of map pressure, so taht she can get back into the game. You should be pushing bot as hard as you can, and try to force wukong away from top lane by taking towers.
12:16 pushing here was a blunder!! You could've taken 40% of your opponents tower.
13:25 if you don't push right now, and take mid toweryou'll have lost bot tower for your rotation mid.
14:20 RIGHT now, you should've pinged that you were heading back to bot. Since graves was still showing bot, you needed to answer his push. He has a big wave and will really damage your turret if you don't leave now - he might even have time to take it. You also lost around 15 CS from his push.
15:15 go back bot and push. Really force someone to head bot and wave clear so that you can have a better poisition for dragon
16:45 that's probably one of the worst fiora's ive seen in my entire life.
17:20 you are too terrified to whittle down turrets. You have a lux coming your way and they don't have vision of her. You can play overly aggressive. If they for some reason go in on you, then she can come and clean up some kilsls for you. Also, after janna shielded her graves, she had no mana to make plays, and the graves had no health to make plays. You very well could've just taken this tower right here; I hope that's what you did.
17:42 OH MY GOD PUSH!!!!
It's okay if people converge on you. You hav esion coming your wave, and since janna is still OOM, she's deadweight. It'd be a 2v3.
18:22 Sona already recalled to stop the wukong. You needed that global gold and map pressure. You should've stayed.
20:35 you should've recalled here. The reason why it's better to recall here as opposed to the other times when i've told you to push towers is that now, your opponents are 4 grouped mid, with a cannon minion. They are looking to take 3 turrets and an inhib. If they do that, it's probably game over.
21:16 Yeah at this point it's probably game over. While you have a good creep wave slow pushing top that may very well take that tower, you'll find that they've just gotten so much global gold from those towers that your team is very far behind. You should be taking every opportunity now to scrounge for CS. Since you no longer have turrets near you to protect you from flanks, it's best at this point to just farm lanes as best you can, and when the minions are pushed to an area where you don't have vision, you go into the jungle and take minions there.
22:17 During the mid and late game, I try to ask myself, "Why am I here?" If you had asked yourself this, you would've either recalled to safety, or pushed bot more.
24:07 This is another example of when you should ask yourself, "why am i here?" A full health wukong isn't just going to recall (at least, he shouldn't). He is looking to take objectives. The two objectives in sight are the bot tower, and the dragon. When you see that he's not starting the dragon, you HAVE to assume and respect that he may very well be trying to take bot tower.
25:53 You're at the point in the game where if you stay bot for too long, your opponents can baron. Push bot, and look to make a play while someone is wave clearing bot.
26:45 You have no vision of that area. You can't facecheck like that alone - even to ward. You should've used a blue trinket to first scout and see if that area you're going to be in is safe, or more preferrably, you should've gone with Sion, or with another escort.
31:35 You were positioned too far forward there. You need to keep some buffer space between you and your tank line, so that your tanks will have more time to react to assassins trying to sneak past them. At this point the game is probably over.
~~~~~
Work more on trying to take towers, and exerting map pressure on your own - At least for the early and mid game. It sucks when one of your teammates feeds the enemy team, but it's just an unfortunate inevitability that we have to accept - you just have to bite the bullet sometimes and make the best of a bad situation.
If you want me to analyze some more of your games, I'd like you to analyze them first, using the time stamps to mark events like i did.
