Had some troubles early game, but mostly stymied [[Nocturne]] on his Bot lane ganks, which kept our Bot lane even, which they eventually parlayed into a lead. [[Lee Sin]] was mostly kicking the crap out of [[Shaco]]. [[Ezreal]] was mostly kicking [[Akali]]’s behind. Got exploded betwixt [[Akali]] and [[Nocturne]] once. Should have left well enough alone since I was somewhat behind at that point in the game.[/quote]

No lengthy DCs. Everyone holding their lanes even or winning. All I have to do is nudge things along and keep an eye on objectives. We could have gone for Baron after we took their mid inhibitor and one of their Nexus turrets, but I spotted [[Ryze]] in their Bot jungle and proceeded to eat him then push Bot turret, which turned out to be a bit more than we could chew. My bad on that call. Still overall I felt I carried my weight. Close to Silver 2. Hopefully I can keep the wins rolling in and make it there. :) Their [[Kassadin]] was doing well even though I ganked him a bunch early game to try and set him behind. He was able to clean up after a couple of [[Miss Fortune]] ultimates which got him back in the game. [[Fiora]] mostly kept Ryze in check which was nice. I munched some of [[Shen]]'s jungle when I could since he has a relatively slow though health clear. If my calculation is correct I had 74% kill participation, which I believe is a good number.[/quote]

They didn’t present very many gank opportunities early or had their lanes warded so they had enough notice to make themselves scarce. I did manage a lane gank that got us [[Tristana]], but they were just beating us or were able to apply more pressure in every lane. This resulted in us getting pushed in and hence cut off from a lot of map gold and their siege was just better than ours despite us having a [[Ziggs]]. Would have rather had [[Nocturne]] for this one, but since I was first pick I didn’t know what we would be facing.[/quote]

Mmmm, this close to solo killing [[Nasus]] but no joy. Tried roaming mid, but a bunch of them collapsed on us at their mid tower. I honestly did not see anything on the two wards we had out (I did look at them which is why I know there were two out in the direction we were collapse on from), so if I missed it, my bad. [[Rengar]] did help me kill [[Nasus]] and we took his tower. But after that he jumped into a bunch of fights way late. One of those times onto [[Nasus]] who was a little low health, but still. Maybe ?[[Vayne]]? instead? Reminder that it isn’t the league points it is the better competition that I am after.[/quote]

[[Warwick]] decided to drop a ward in their red side jungle and somehow got ?stunned? or [[Exhaust]]ed and took so much damage that [[Lux]] was able to clean him up giving them a kill and two assists to start the game. Oh and I had to blow my [[Flash]] to avoid getting pincered between the two groups after trying to run enough interference that Warwick could get away. [[Anivia]] was great at zoning once she got her ultimate, but it also meant she was so far ahead of me that I couldn’t help them make a play on the opposing laners. [[Maokai]] diving into a team fight after [[Anivia]] got caught out and died, so we were a person down. [[Anivia]] bitching at [[Malzahar]] and then roaming mid and dying too. I screwed up and forgot to level my ultimate until level 8. Whoops. It did cost us one kill. However, I don’t think it would have changed the course of the game. We were just too all over the place. Chasing things we shouldn’t chase and not using our strengths which would be having [[Maokai]] out front to set up fights that I could then unload my ultimate on, but [[Lux]] was so damn fed, they we really couldn’t group. I should have bought a [[Quicksilver Sash]] as my second item, it was that obnoxious.[/quote]

We actually succeeded when [[Malzahar]] came up and [[Dr. Mundo]] teleported in. Too bad we also lost the top outer and inner turret in exchange for that. [[Udyr]] surprised us with a bush gank. Unfortunately I had used my ultimate in the aforementioned tower dive, so I was a dead ADC. [[Sona]] managed to get out of that somehow. [[Dr. Mundo]] couldn’t figure out that [[Viktor]] has a trap that stuns you for quite a while if you stand in, so he died a number of times that way rushing headlong into their team. This one would have been winnable with some more coordinated play.[/quote]

Laning phase was pretty neutral. [[Hecarim]] kept trying to gank and not quite pulling it off. He was predictable enough that [[Amumu]] started giving their Bot lane some love, fortunately we had enough wards to spot him coming in so it wasn’t that big of a deal. Aside from the silly mana cost on [[Valkyrie]] I likes me some [[Corki]]. He works really nicely when your team is aware enough to play around you package (this wasn’t one of those games though) as that thing does silly damage if you are standing on it and don’t have any MR. I chunked [[Ashe]] for 3/4 of her health one time when she walked through it.[/quote]

I was generally in the right places at the right times to make sure things didn’t go South and there certainly was the opportunity for that with our team of in twos and threes in places they shouldn’t be, but we kept coming out ahead. I think their [[Bard]] may have AFKd for a while or been trolling or a bit of both.[/quote]

[[Singed]] was causing plenty of mayhem top lane, but Mid and Bot were struggling so we couldn’t do much with it until late in the game. At one point I think [[Jinx]] was ready to AFK, but the team was encouraging so they stuck with it and started doing work late game. Their positioning did make me cringe at times, but with me holding the attention of their entire team she was freely able to lob rockets in and the rest of the team was able to clean up. Things I learned. Activate [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] before [[Paranoia]]. That got me killed when I thought I had a lone [[Lucian]] to slay and [[Lee Sin]] arrived just in the nick of time to kick me away. I didn’t make that mistake a second time when I had another go at it later in the game. Also Lee’s [[Dragon's Rage]] is about as annoying as [[Vayne]]’s [[Condemn]] when you are operating as an assassin. Have to admit that [[Guardian Angel]] [[Nautilus]] was kind of annoying. Like who wants a big ole CC monster to come back to life in the middle of a fight? XD[/quote]

Tried [[Vel'koz]] into [[Lux]]. Might have been able to do it better, but it was effectively a farm lane. I roamed more than her and IIRC each of my roams netted us a kill, but Lux and and [[Poppy]] were able to converge on and take down my turret while I was away. Roughly felt like their bottom lane was better than our bottom lane and their Poppy got more work done then our [[Vi]]. Our [[Cho'gath]] started bitching about a [[Volibear]] support, which granted didn’t seem to be working, but still it wasn’t the only reason we were losing. Which revolved more around our [[Quinn]] trying to fight [[Lucian]] after he was already ahead and [[Cho'Gath]] giving up on Top and coming Mid to soak up my farm. [[Frost Queen's Claim]] was alright, but I think I might have liked the CDR from [[Athene's Unholy Grail]] better, just felt like it took too long for my abilities to come off of cool down.[/quote]
