Yay! Got lots of backup from my team so my scoreline doesn’t look amazing, but definitely contributed. [[Azir]] support was annoying that bird can poke from a long way off. [[Shen]] got beat up pretty hard in lane, but contributed around the map with some timely ultimates. Both [[Lucian]] and [[Azir]] got away with very low health bars a couple of times, but that left us opportunities to farm in peace which, while not a kill, is still useful. Hopefully I can keep the win train rolling as I’d still like to make Gold at some point.[/quote]

[[Quinn]] didn’t seem to get that if she used her [[Vault]] on me she was a sitting duck for [[Leona]] so we were up 3 kills in lane quickly. I had enough to go back and buy a [[Tear of the Goddess]] and [[Sheen]]. We wasted a bunch of [[Zed]]'s and [[Nautilus]]’s time with good wards. We had the opposing team sufficiently on their back foot that I picked up two of our three dragons with the help of Leona while the rest of the people on our team were off doing other things. Got what I believe is my first quadra-kill in ranked.[/quote]

[[Thresh]] was super aggressive, which caused some problems early on, we were on the back foot in lane for the majority of it losing our tower to a four man rotation to our lane. Our [[Annie]] was so far ahead she was deleting everyone or chunking them so hard the rest of our team was able to clean up. I just followed people around and shot at them from a distance, with the occasional brazen jump into danger to pick up a kill. There was so much chaos in map movement that a couple of my deaths were simply from not shifting exactly at the right moment.[/quote]

In retrospect I probably should have gone [[Braum]] for some disengage/quasi-engage. But as I was calculating dealing with [[Tristana]] and stuns from [[Bard]] since he can readily see where [[Draven]] is going to be when he catches and axe, I thought Taric’s [[Dazzle]] and [[Imbue]] would be good for the lane. And I was right. Any time Draven got stunned, I just stunned [[Tristana]] and then healed up any damage Draven had taken. However, since our other lanes were losing, we didn’t get much help until very late in laning phase so we were effectively in a stalemate. [[Elise]] camped mid and got herself and [[Brand]] ahead. I believe Elise also got [[Renekton]] going against [[Riven]] and it was just relatively slow attrition from there on out.[/quote]

Should have dodged but was duoing with a friend who is in their promos. They bent over and let the asshat play ADC. The Jinx bitched and moaned and died numerous times early game for simply being stupid usually getting [[Nautilus]] killed along with. I crushed my lane 4-0. Mid got stomped and [[Tahm Kench]] got fed. He was so damn bulky that we couldn’t kill him despite all our damage. The game went on long enough that [[Fiora]] was able to power up and then we couldn’t win team fights anymore. I hope I reported the Jinx for being a tool. I found myself in an item quandary. I think I should have built Spirit Visage before [[Randuin's Omen]] but I didn’t notice how fed [[Fizz]] was, so bad on me for not checking the champion board before buying. Then I wasn’t sure what else to buy. I felt like I needed Blade of the Ruined King to try and deal with Tahm because [[Jinx]] didn’t get it and to be fair she kept having Fizz jump on her so [[The Bloodthirster]] made some sense for its shield. But [[Wit's End]] or another MR item might have been better as I couldn’t stand up to fizz because the he could simply troll pole my stun after going on me or Zhonya’s if he was about to go down. I tried split pushing a little but Tahm could simply ult back to stop me and their team has a lot of pick potential so the times I went off to split push we ended up losing more than we gained. Sad day after having a good lane.[/quote]

Sad day. Got counterpmicked in lane. Figured our only chance was to kill them at lvl 2, but [[Morgana]] was smart enough to get her [[Black Shield]] so that stymied our all-in. They hit lvl 2 right after us. [[Orianna]] didn’t really want to mid. Cho’Gath was doing alright I think. [[Warwick]] had a decent game, unfortunately we didn’t seem in our lane until after the four man gank that netted me my first death. [[Alistar]] died a lot. Both he and Cho were getting picked come late game, with Cho just mostly going too deep. Alistar got caught while we were milling about Mid and then Cho got caught too and the enemy team were able to bring it home and I couldn’t really do anything about it. I was off on the timing on my CS so that plus the ganks put me way behind where I would like to be. Even went [[Statikk Shiv]] which I don’t normally like to do on [[Tristana]].[/quote]

However the [[Ashe]] and [[Morgana]] were getting destroyed by the [[Jinx]] and the [[Thresh]] so I had definite worries if the game went late. Fortunately [[Veigar]] and [[Dr. Mundo]] were stomping there lanes and were able to start roaming. All the [[Rek'Sai]] normals payed off on this one. One downer was that [[Jinx]] managed to steal our first Dragon. We had just won a team fight and I used [[Smite]] in the fight to secure a kill. I warned them in chat that I didn’t have it, but we proceeded anyway. Note to self. Try to have someone beefy position to absorb (assuming the splash damage doesn’t take it regardless) it if they see it incoming. Also need to figure out how to be in the right place at the right time by choice/planning. Jungle route prediction is still not my strong suite. After a number of games I feel like a prefer [[Enchantment: Cinderhulk]] over [[Enchantment: Warrior]] on [[Rek'Sai]]. She still does respectable damage going the tankier route and feels a lot beefier than with Warrior.[/quote]

No leash despite multiple pings and a typed request in chat. [[Vladimir]] is solo killed by [[Maokai]]. [[Talon]] is solo killed by [[Brand]]. [[Ashe]] and [[Lux]] are killed by [[Corki]] and [[Nautilus]]. I blow Brands [[Flash]] then turn around and gank him again and Talon picks up the kill. Vlad dies twice more to Maokai. Voli ganks bot. Ashe and Lux die again. Voli ganks bot again while I’m doing Red. I stop what I am doing and head over there, but too late, Ashe is dead again. Ashe: "Can we get a gank. Voli has been here twice". I don’t even have my jungle item completed yet….I catch [[Corki]] behind dragon pit and almost kill him, pinging for Ashe and Lux to get their tails over there, but instead I Voli, Nautilus, and Brand respond and I die. I haven’t experienced that level of incompetence in a ranked game in a while. I watched the Ashe a bit and she could’t kite. Why are you playing ADC in ranked, especially if you cain’t kite with Ashe who has good range and auto attacks that slow!!!!!! Oy![/quote]

I think I like [[Rek'Sai]]. Still have some polish work to do in team fight situations, but yeah. Good early ganking. Good damage all game long. Disruptive in team fights. All the good things. One stupid death where I chased a low health [[Amumu]] across three quarters of the map only to be intercepted by his team. So a little less tunneling. (Pun intended XD) Whoops. Two stupid deaths as [[Pantheon]] and overstayed trying to take their top inhibitor after taking their mid base turret and inhibitor. Amumu showed up and locked us down long enough for us both to be killed. So definitely some things to work on for the future. [[Morgana]] accidentally brought [[Smite]] but that just meant there was no chance of us getting out smited, so yeah, our objective control was good. There [[Yasuo]] got some decent ultimates off, but we or at least I was just too beefy for it to matter.[/quote]

I don’t know exactly why I picked [[Wukong]] into [[Riven]], well okay, I’ve seen Wu’s beat the dog out of Rivens and he has a high win rate against her, but I don’t know the match-up well enough to make it work. So yeah in case you can’t tell for the my score line, I didn’t do our team too many favors. [[Xin Zhao]] was an ass and caused enough of a mess that our [[Caitlyn]] refused to group. But she did manage to split push and get objectives, including Baron towards the end of the game while the rest of us were running and dying. I did have two good engages with my ultimate that helped us level the playing field a little by winning some team fights which netted us some much needed gold which translated into items. This goes in the win column but it was ugly. I seem to be experiencing and occasional loss of model control. Happened in two games now. One I was [[Nami]] and I just kept moving toward a group of enemies and couldn’t stop myself. This time as Wukong I was engage on [[Tristana]] during a crucial team fight in their base and my character model just froze despite there being nothing that could stun me. Fortunately I had [[Guardian Angel]] up so I was able to get back in the fight and help end the game.[/quote]
