S5 Ranked: One Way Ticket to Hell

[quote=Wayne3100]I kinda doubt he has a lower MMR seeing as he's Diamond V... :P I just feel like the gap between those LP gains is a bit unusual, I guess.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]Oh, I thought he was plat 5 for some reason... Even so, I've seen inconsistent LP gains more often with duo q than not.[/quote]

First one was played a few days ago, rest of them earlier today. Sorry if this post ends up a bit longer than usual. [size=4][b]Game 1[/b][/size]: Due to a short disconnect during champion select, our [[Nocturne]] wasn't able to change champions anymore after having random'd a few times and the champion was locked in for him without him knowing how to play it. We also already had a jungler because Joxuu had picked [[Nunu]] before him. Rather than telling us this or dodging the game, [[Nocturne]] switched summoners to [[Teleport]] - [[Flash]] and decided to go top lane, where he died to [[Shen]] two times in the first 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, mid lane was getting camped early on and [[Janna]] was busy being frustrated about not getting jungle, questioning/criticising Joxuu's every move. After getting IE - Shiv, I found myself needing [[Blade of the Ruined King]], [[Quicksilver Sash]] [i]and[/i] [[Last Whisper]] because of how ahead their tanks were, but considering the fact that I wasn't fed this simply wasn't going to happen anytime soon. I told [[Nocturne]] (politely) that he should've dodged the game since he would've lost less LP that way, but although he agreed there wasn't much he could do about it anymore at that point. [size=4][b]Game 2[/b][/size]: Probably the most frustrating game of the four, despite the win. After hitting level 2 at the same time as the enemy bot lane, [[Graves]] decided to rather randomly [[Quickdraw]] forward to get in [[Buckshot]] range and harass [[Corki]]. Now, that might've been a good idea if not for the fact that that put his [i]only escape[/i] on cooldown while [[Leona]] [[Zenith Blade]] and [[Corki]] [[Phosphorus Bomb]] were still up. Because of this, [[Graves]] got jumped on and bursted down to low HP while also having to use [i]both[/i] summoners to escape. We then stood at tower awkwardly until we were allowed to go back (which of course wasn't at an opportune moment, and we missed a lot of cs/xp for being forced to do so). This put him behind enough in items that the next fight (which iirc was started because of a gank) resulted in both of us dying, and we got out of lane being pretty behind. Luckily, the rest of our team wasn't doing so poorly and we had a good teamfighting comp, allowing [[graves]] a way back into the game after the first few dragon fights. What made this game so frustrating for me was that he then made a comment about how he had "laned 1v2". Now, I won't argue that my play was perfect (for example, I could've interrupted the early [[Zenith Blade]] with [[Flay]] if I had expected it / if the angle hadn't been as awkward as it was), but knowing that he made such a huge mistake and then had the audacity to blame losing lane on me really rustled my jimmies. Seriously, don't be that guy. Anyway, I noticed that this quite heavily influenced my play and mindset, too, which I feel is a weakness I need to work on. If I [i]know[/i] someone's wrong, I shouldn't let what they're saying affect me as much as it did. Ugh. [size=4][b]Game 3[/b][/size]: Joxuu had planned to first pick [[Gragas]] jungle, but because it got banned and someone else asked for jungle he decided to go for [[Hecarim]] top instead. Unfortunately, the jungler we ended up having instead ([[Fiddlesticks]]) wasn't able to do much as almost all lanes fell behind and his first few ganks heavily backfired, too. A prime example of this would be his first post-6 gank on bot lane, in which he got scouted out by [[Quinn]]'s [[Heightened Senses]], decided to ult anyway, was forced to [[Flash]] into range to even be able to fear anyone since both enemy laners had backed off and then died to the tower. We surrendered shortly after 20 minutes because we realised we simply had no way of winning this one. [size=4][b]Game 4[/b][/size]: We had a pretty decent team in this game (apart from our top laner switching to [[Pantheon]] in the last second without knowing his enemy, which I'm not exactly a fan of), but what we failed to take into account was that [[Viktor]] was on a mission to break the record of fastest death in lane. I'm think he managed to do that, as he must've died at level 1 to [[Ziggs]] considering the game time when it happened. He pretty much kept feeding after that. After his third death or so, he was accused of doing it on purpose, and his reaction to [[Lee Sin]]'s next mid lane gank led Joxuu to believe there might be some truth to those claims (he apparently barely even tried to escape, as if he was giving the kill willingly). Either way, the only other lane which - with the help of some Joxuu ganks - got ahead enough to [i]maybe[/i] compensate for this was bot lane, so they decided to focus on it and shut us down, making sure that even their 0/6 [[Ashe]] has more gold than our carries. As a final sidenote, I keep forgetting to turn LSI on and to check my score after the game (or include it in the screenshot, even) >.<[/quote]

The replay files only last for a month or so, but i'm subscribed to it because i'm quite forgetful of turning on my LSI[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]You can just get LSI to turn itself on, it's somewhere in the settings I'm sure. edit: [img=http://i.imgur.com/whFfc7U.png width=700][/quote]

[quote=BigBoxGamer]It's not that I forget to turn it on, it's that it on my framerates will go crazy and jump all over the place. I can easily run LoL with like 7 different Chrome tabs open at a solid 60 fps just fine though, so this would be perfect.[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]Y-yeah but I'm talking to Wayne/utopus.[/quote]

[quote=BigBoxGamer]Oh x.x[/quote]
