Vapora's Ranked Journey to ... Whatever he...

[quote=Vapora Dark]Their [[rek'sai]] wasn't as much of a beast, but still a beast. [img=http://i.imgur.com/hGBwu60.jpg width=900][/quote]

[quote=Zordagoth]It may sound stupid but ... isn't cleanse really bad on this [[viktor]] ? What is he gonna cleanse anyway ? Your slow ? or did he really take it only for [[equilibrium strike]] ?[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]And I think YOU'll find, friend, that he was talking about the Viktor in the screenshot before that. :^) And that's a funny story actually, haha, man I wish I'd screenshotted it, but it didn't occur to me. I played 20 minutes of that game without realizing [[viktor]] had [[cleanse]], I'd never noticed him use it and it had never occurred to me to check what summoner spells he was running. Then at 20 minutes their [[bard]] said in all chat: "i take cleanse for rek'sai and alistar - viktor". That was the moment I checked his summoner spells, and realized, he was in fact, running [[cleanse]]. And the reason I'd never noticed him use it was because he'd been trying to cleanse knockups... LOL. I did him the favour of explaining you can't cleanse knockups, though I guess someone from his team had probably done it already by then considering most of them seemed to be flaming him.[/quote]

[quote=Zordagoth]I don't why but I was already almost sure it was that ... People will never cease to amaze me :D[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]This game was annoying on so many levels. ;-; [img=http://i.imgur.com/uIKsMyW.jpg width=900] [[rammus]] ganked us early on and I blew both of my summoners to get away from him, so he taunted [[braum]] instead and [[lucian]] got first blood from him. Later on [[rammus]] ganked yet again, through a lane gank in which he ran out of the brush with Q and immediately flashed into my face before I'd even realized he was there, which was probably overkill anyway, but yeah. I died and [[lucian]] got his 2nd kill handed to him on a plate. After that it was my [[pickaxe]] vs [[lucian]]'s [[pickaxe]] + [[bf sword]], so I was pretty behind. But I somehow managed to solokill [[lucian]] in a very close duel while [[braum]] and [[nautilus]] were mid, and that let me get my [[bf sword]] while [[lucian]] couldn't buy anything new, so even though he was ahead in gold, we were even in items. With the help of [[braum]] I kiled [[lucian]] again in a 2v2, making me and [[lucian]] even in gold as I had a CS lead to make up for the fact that one of his kills was first blood. So me and [[lucian]] both bought [[avarice blade]]... and there's where it all started to go wrong. I dueled [[lucian]] as soon as I got to bot lane because I'd won every other fight, why wouldn't I be able to win this one? Well he crit me twice vs my 0 crits, and I died. When I next got back onto lane I tried dueling him again, as we both still had the same items, and the same thing happened... 2 crits, I got none. Then I got back onto lane and seeing as [[lucian]] had an [[infinity edge]] at that point, I decided to just sit back at the tower as there was no chance of me out-dueling him anymore. Now get this; this fucking piece of shit harasses me at tower with Q-AA (with passive) while I'm last-hitting a minion at the tower... [i]and fucking both of his hits crit me[/i]. I lost 50% of my HP in the time it took me to last hit a minion under tower, and when he realized how low I suddenly was, he continued on into a tower dive and killed me 1v1 under tower while I'd been full HP. Then he took the tower and backed off with what had in like 2 and a half minutes gone from a 0 gold lead (if anything it had been in my favour) to like a 1200 gold lead for him. After that I managed to easily farm my way back into the game and became a huge threat, and coupled with our seemingly amazing team-fights, we started stomping them throughout the entire game, minus a few moments where people would get caught. One of these happened to be [[braum]] getting caught when we'd just been about to start our game-winning push. It gave him a 50+ second death timer. Then right as he was about to revive, [[viktor]] gets caught too, then my team tries to teamfight 4v5 and everyone except me died. ... and then we lost.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]I lost 13 LP when I dodged one champion select because mid and ADC were taken, then my internet dc'd for 5 minutes right at the start of the next champion select, but I guess my LP gain went up to compensate. [img=http://i.imgur.com/FW38Klg.jpg width=900] I like how all my recent [[talon]] games are 26 minute stomps rofl. It really boosts my confidence because I wasn't expecting to find it this easy getting so close to Master.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]So many things went wrong for me this game, and my team played sooooo bad. Fortunately their team messed up a trade and ended up with a jungle [[hecarim]] with [[flash]][[heal]], and a [[lucian]] with [[flash]][[smite]]. [img=http://i.imgur.com/3si37vM.jpg width=900] Ahri hit level 6 before me by shoving the minion wave as hard as she could then tower dived me, and we traded 1 for 1. I got [[gragas]] to freeze the lane for me though, so I got the minion and XP advantage... or did I???? She got back to lane and instantly hit level 7. I got back to lane and instantly hit level... 6? How the fuck did she end up a whole level ahead of me in XP from a 1 for 1 trade? The minion wave was even in my favour, I just have no clue how that happened. Most of my ganks were also 1 for 1 trades because I'd kill [[lucian]] then [[alistar]] would CC me with [[pulverize]] and [[headbutt]] to keep me under tower for 3+ seconds. [[ahri]] would usually counter-gank too, and by the time I was 3/2, she was 4/2. I was about 10 CS ahead of her though, so I wasn't thaaaaat far behind... you'd think if she wasn't level 10 and I'd only just hit level 8. Like I seriously don't understand what the hell was going on with XP that game, by all means I should have been ahead of her in XP but she somehow ended up over 2 levels higher than me, like how does that even happen???? :S Anyway I got super fed off of lane ganking [[lucian]] to make up for all that BS XP crap that made it impossible for me to do anything to [[ahri]]. Which was very fortunate, because my team really needed me to step up and carry, as hard as that might seem to believe. Between both [[nautilus]] and [[sivir]]'s fairly long periods of DC, and [[gragas]] being trigger happy on the engage button (constantly engaging 3v5 and such), it was [i]really[/i] hard to win the game even though we all started off the game ahead (except for me I guess :l). Most teamfights were like a coin flip, sometimes they'd win them easily, sometimes we'd win them easily. Fortunately enough the final teamfight was one that we won (I killed all 4 of the people who died lol), and they surrendered seeing as we would have won in one push anyway.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]Lol, this game... [img=http://i.imgur.com/vmOgv9t.jpg width=900] I got a double kill 1v3 when we got ganked bot lane and they killed [[janna]], then I think I coulda turned onto [[fiddlesticks]] for a triple kill, but I didn't want to push my luck so I decided to play it safe and run around. Ironically [[viktor]] was actually on his way to cut me off so they killed me. I would have had more chances of surviving if I'd just tried to muscle my way through [[fiddlesticks]]. From the lead that I got from that though, I started to crush [[vayne]] in lane and set up a lane freeze that left her with 17 CS at 8 minutes. It didn't matter though because their team was steamrolling us so hard that she won any fight she was in despite being a caster minion, and ended up getting fed because of it. :/ Right when we killed a lot of them and it looked like we could turn things around, I said "drag up in 30 seconds, don't let them get it or it's over" (they had 4 dragons). So [[hecarim]] said "yeah let's just go in, fuck it", and engaged into all 5 of them while not all of us were near enough to fight with him right away. He ended up getting us all aced and they won off that lol...[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]I won mid, bot won bot, top won top. [[evelynn]] got executed at blue buff and was generally a detriment, but we didn't need her anyway. [img=http://i.imgur.com/mtPOjXM.jpg width=900][/quote]
