S5 Ranked: One Way Ticket to Hell

[quote=Wayne3100][center][size=5][color=red]Game 105[/color][/size][/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/D3NiwOR.png width=700][/center] Playing a little better now that I'm used to the (screen size of the) new laptop. [[Singed]] started proxying after I got an early 30 cs lead and actually managed to get back into the game quite well that way, which worried me considering our mid lane was pretty behind (while bot was a bit of a back and forth iirc). Luckily, the first couple of teamfights were won quite convincingly and [[Kog'Maw]] started dealing ridiculous damage after that, so much in fact that the two of us were able to win a 2v4 fight in mid lane while the rest of our teammates were pushing elsewhere. Only downside was that I died all the way at the end because I got greedy for a kill on [[Sivir]] (and failed to get it because I missed my Q) ._.[/quote]

Finally broke my [[Sivir]] loss streak (as I mentioned before, it was 8 games in a row before this game, from 12-4 to 12-12). [[Fiddlesticks]] carried the early game with some good ganks, [[Orianna]] also became strong during the mid game (as demonstrated by her 1v4 triple kill) and well eh.. I guess you could say I got fed. Reached series! :D[/quote]

The main issue this game was the enemy [[Anivia]] who got fed and carried teamfights for them, she played really well. Game 2: Had to lane against a [[Riven]] main (as the name suggests) with over 250 games played on her this season. He played well (I could tell from his animation cancelling that he was indeed quite experienced at playing her), but I managed to get the wave frozen in a decent spot for me and avoided a lot of trouble that way. She also majestically screwed up a [[Teleport]] to bot lane which I was told could've gotten her a lot of kills, simply by cancelling it herself (she was on her way back to top lane when she started casting it, then arrived in lane seconds later with her ult used). In teamfights, my main objective was to keep her stunned so she couldn't kill our carries, and because our [[Lucian]] won bot lane pretty hard we won this game quite convincingly in the end. Game 3: So it all came down to game 3, in which I faced a [[Maokai]] who also managed to interrupt his own [[Teleport]], this time on the tower (so he had to walk back to lane and missed xp). Joxuu meanwhile got pretty fed as [[gragas]] by doing well during early teamfights and by ganking mid, which in turn also got our [[Xin Zhao]] ahead so the game became pretty easy. Promoted to plat II! :)[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Thanks friends! :D [center][size=5][color=red]Game 110-113[/color][/size][/center] [table width=900] [tr] [td width=25][/td] [td width=400][url=http://i.imgur.com/FuT3G60.png][img=http://i.imgur.com/FuT3G60.png width=400][/url][/td] [td width=25][/td] [td width=400][url=http://i.imgur.com/a5F6usf.png][img=http://i.imgur.com/a5F6usf.png width=400][/url][/td] [td width=25][/td] [/tr] [/table] Game 1: beat [[Wukong]] in lane, [[Ahri]] mid was ahead, [[Rek'Sai]] jungle (Joxuu) was ahead, pretty easy win. Game 2: beat [[Sion]] in lane, jungle [[Rek'Sai]] (Joxuu) was also ahead, mid ([[Orianna]]) and ADC ([[Graves]]) got caught out of position often and lost us teamfights. Sad game. Game 3: Forced to support, early gank from enemy [[Rengar]] screwed bot lane over pretty hard and [[Ahri]] mid got crushed by [[Xerath]] because she "wasn't having her day" and couldn't dodge skillshots. Our top [[Wukong]] was fed but it didn't matter, pretty onesided loss. Highlighted game: Wtf [[Nunu]] is broken. Our bot lane was basically even (which against a [[Vayne]] lane isn't great), mid was getting hit by too many skillshots and complaining how she was "failing so hard" - much like the [[Ahri]] we had in our team before - and top was pretty much getting crushed. Despite that, Joxuu managed to turn it around by counterganking [[Jarvan IV]] mid (getting both himself and [[Ahri]] a kill in the process) before 1v2ing their jungler and mid in the enemy jungle. After that, we were able to force objectives and punish their carries for being out of position with some good grabs from [[Blitzcrank]] and the game snowballed into our favour quickly.[/quote]

I suppose the second game was pretty close, but - as Joxuu mentioned already in his thread - the enemy team threw it by going for an early Baron and getting aced. After that it was pretty much as onesided as the others. Not sure what to make of my LP gains though, from +26 ([[Lucian]] win in last post) to +17, then back up to +25 and now +19... Is that good or bad? ._.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]It's probably because you're duo queueing with someone who's MMR is quite lower than yours, the MMR of each team is different each game so your gains are inconsistent I guess.[/quote]
