The Ranked Misadventures of TheSilverDust

[quote=TheSilverDust][center] [icon=Sivir size=50] [h1][color=#0080ff][S6] GAME 23[/color][/h1] [h2]RESULT:[color=#ff0000]DEFEAT![/color][/h2] [img width=500]http://i.imgur.com/oZz1wqu.png[/img] A good team comp gone wrong. I picked [[Sivir]] because of the pick intents that my teammates pciked will go well with her. I was fourth pick overall then. Then the seventh pick chose [[Vayne]]: a natural counter for someone like [[Sivir]]. But the game still went on. [[Pantheon]] and [[Master Yi]] went AFK for the first 10-15 minutes, making our support [[Dr. Mundo]] go top and played so bad feeding [[Zed]]. Also, I played alone in bot lane. I managed to block [[Alistar]]'s [[Headbutt]] with [[Spell Shield]] to ruin his combo. [[Zed]], [[Vayne]] and [[Ekko]] were fed. And by one failed teamfight, we lost the game. I pushed two turrets of theirs by myself though. [rule] [icon=Soraka size=50] [h1][color=#0080ff][S6] GAME 24[/color][/h1] [h2]RESULT:[color=#00ff00]VICTORY![/color][/h2] [img width=500]http://i.imgur.com/c2QUZBg.png[/img] I was fourth pick overall. I picked [[Soraka]] because of the capabilities of saving many butts of allies with her heals. When someone in my team picked [[Veigar]], I felt so delighted because we can pull off a chain CC combo ([[Event Horizon]]-[[Equinox]]). When the game started, I got that Bug Splat making me not to play for 3-5 minutes. So when I reconnected, it was 2-2. At least my lane is doing good. There was this moment that we tower-dived [[Caitlyn]]. He dived first attacking her while I heal the damage that he takes from the turret. We killed her successfully. Top lane is stalling, so it is a good thing. But here comes the bad things. Our [[Veigar]] is playing badly. [[Xin Zhao]] isn't ganking of defending our turrets at all. [[DIana]] is fed that she was 7-1-1. It was seemingly a lost game. It was until the 25-minute mark kicks in. That's where [[Xin Zhao]] got Sated Devourer, [[Veigar]] has ample AP to blow up people, especially that pesky [[Diana]]. I made some good clutch heals and [[Wish]]es that made people survive their burst. I put [[Equinox]] to zone or to make [[Diana]]/[[Yasuo]] useless when they go in. They attempted to fight us while we are taking [[Baron Nashor]]. They just entered one by one, having a chance to pick kills and get [[Baron Nashor]] buff successfully ([[Veigar]] died though). With that, we pushed mid and top lane and made their Nexus crashing down, grabbing that victory. [/center][/quote]

And [[Lulu]] fits here. And she is a good pick as a poke support overall. [h2][color=#0080ff]During the Game[/color]:[/h2] This game started with a 5v4, with [[Sejuani]] missing. Even if [[Lee Sin]] got first blood, he still died as the same time [[Illaoi]] died also. Our [[Syndra]] is in an advantage. And our jungler has free farm because of the absence of [[Sejuani]]. As for the bot lane, we had an easy time killing [[Jinx]]. That [[Alistar]] played bad for he couldn't peel for [[Jinx]] and I can still poke him down even if he is a good counter to poke champs. My, he even [[Headbutt]]ed us to safety when there is only one turret shot left to kill me or [[Lucian]]. We are doing good when [[Syndra]] said that she will disconnect for a while resulting on me going in mid lane and going 4v4. I nearly took the turret down and left it to the minions to destroy it. Enemy outer turret in top lane was already destroyed just minutes ago. I roamed in bot lane to help our ADC and successfully push bot lane. Long story short, we are still winning this game. [[Sejuani]] reconnected, but she was awful too. Then, [[Syndra]] reconnected. She did decent despite she was behind for many levels. We won for many skirmishes, making us to siege their base slowly and won. [h2][color=#0080ff]What should I improve/commend[/color]:[/h2] [color=#00ff00]Commendations[/color]: [color=#00ff00]+[/color]Nice [[Wild Growth]]-[[Leap of Faith]] wombo combo. [color=#00ff00]+[/color]Shielding everyone when they are really low/towerdiving. [color=#00ff00]+[/color]Good peels. [color=#00ff00]+[/color]Made huge presence in battles.

[color=#ff0000]-[/color]Press that [[Ignite]], quick! [h2][color=#0080ff]Others[/color]:[/h2] -Made my mastery to Rank 5 -S grade! -Best player in that game (posting a screenshot later) [rule] Well, what do you think of my new format? I should've post this earlier if we don't have a power shortage. :D[/quote]

[quote=Jpikachu1999]Format is pretty nice. A few things I would recommend though (on the game). I would be more inclined to go 12/18/0 for masteries. Either pick up [[Windspeaker's Blessing]] or [[Thunderlord's Decree]]. [[Thunderlord's Decree]] is just a nice bit of burst for lane, while [[Windspeaker's Blessing]] is useful for shielding the ADC. I probably would be more inclined to [[Thunderlord's Decree]] though. Those aren't terrible runes. Flat health seals are probably superior to armor, and flat magic resist are probably superior to scaling ones. Otherwise, they aren't bad. [[Lulu]] is decent at poking, but she is by no means the best. Where she excels at is peeling and creating a ton of CC during teamfights. I might recommend considering [[Exhaust]] over [[Ignite]]. With a high damage, slippery threat such as [[Fizz]], [[Exhaust]] can definitely be useful for saving the ADC. Both summoner spells have uses though. [[Fizz]] seems like the biggest threat. You probably should have started building [[Locket of the Iron Solari]]/[[Banner of Command]] first. After playing around with it, I've been disinclined to go [[Zeke's Harbinger]]. Managing the stacks to go off during an actual fight when you should be roaming to ward and support your whole team is difficult, at best. [[Zz'rot Portal]], [[Frozen Heart]], and [[Randuin's Omen]] are likely going to be more useful for armor as a support.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing][quote=Jpikachu1999] Those aren't terrible runes. Flat health seals are probably superior to armor, and flat magic resist are probably superior to scaling ones. Otherwise, they aren't bad. [/quote] not exactly true. mid lane has been a stale lane in the last two seasons and as a result: best seals right now for mids are either health/lvl for standard, flat armor against heavy ad threat lane, or a mix of both. scaling blues are also far superior. cdr/lvl is the go-to option for most champs, but ap/lvl is good on certain champs and mr/lvl is good in certain matchups[/quote]

I agree for mid lane, but support is different.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]oops i thought he was mid for sup mixed health and armor is good for seals[/quote]

I can say that [[Thunderlord's Decree]] is a good choice for [[Lulu]]. I'm also broke right now so I'm saving my IP to buy runes and/or a rune page. Thanks for your good suggestions on what runes I should pick! I picked [[Ignite]] to counter [[Alistar]]'s [[Triumphant Roar]]. He played bad when I faced him though, so I should've picked [[Exhaust]] instead because of slippery champion like [[Fizz]] and [[Lee Sin]]. [[Fizz]] is not that harmful for the first 20 minutes, so I built [[Zeke's Harbinger]] instead to counter [[Lee Sin]], who was the biggest threat at that time. Thanks for your feedback!

[h2][color=#0080ff]During the Game[/color]:[/h2] Our team played nice during the first minutes of the game, until [[Master Yi]] stole some jungle camps. This made [[Maokai]] a bit behind. We eventually won the bot lane, but not so much in the other lanes. [[LeBlanc]] had this advantage, but didn't used it to push the mid tower. [[Talon]] did well against [[Dr. Mundo]], but as we all know about the Madman of Zaun, Mundo goes where he pleases! He roamed and steamrolled us like hell, making him a threat to our team (thus building [[Locket of the Iron Solari]]). Then [[Master Yi]] got his Sated Devourer and getting two quadra kills in the whole game. And this is where my itemization went really haywire and didn't know what to build. [[Talon]] and [[LeBlanc]] just keeps jumping at their team and get instantly killed... And [[Maokai]] is always the first one to run during a teamfight. [[Vayne]]?? Eh, she just [[Tumble]]s forward and get killed by a [[Thresh]] whose hooks are godlike. What about me? Kek, I missed my skillshots. We lost ALL of our turrets, and by one teamfight lost, we surrendered.

[color=#ff0000]Improvements[/color]: [color=#ff0000]-[/color]...but made the [[Thresh]] go into the center of the team setting a beautiful [[The Box]]. [color=#ff0000]-[/color]...but became too lazy to ward later in the game. Not to mention that I hadn't upgraded my red trinket. [color=#ff0000]-[/color]...but the team didn't use that advantage and killed as a result.[/quote]

And I need a champion that can synergize to [[Yasuo]]'s [[Last Breath]]. [h2][color=#0080ff]During the Game[/color]:[/h2] I should've dodge it. [[Yasuo]] said that he played with [[Ashe]] in his last game and they lost because he's intentionally throwing the game. Seems about right when the game started. She keeps reciving ALL of the skillshots that [[Dr. Mundo]] and [[Ezreal]] pull out. [[Jax]] is not ganking lanes at all, only going to lane after that person dies. [[Yasuo]] is toxic AF. I can carry, but I do not have enough power to win this game.

[h2][color=#0080ff]During the Game[/color]:[/h2] We ALL really got ahead. The enemy team is playing awfully, so this is a chance to win this easily. They didn't push any towers. They itemized too much against [[Kassadin]], which is still able to burst them. This made my opportunity to blast them off, because of their lack of armor. {One fact: The [[Yasuo]] I played with last game is the enemy [[Ezreal]]. He's awful as an individual and team player. He's on a six [or more] losing streak.) [h2][color=#0080ff]What should I improve/commend[/color]:[/h2] [color=#00ff00]Commendations[/color]: [color=#00ff00]+[/color]I can 1v2!
