Well, I didn't do this :( I thought I could pick WW safely, as the CC on our team should lock them down. [b][color=#FBB117]What I Want to Know[/color][/b] [color=#FBB117]►[/color] Which champions beat Caitlyn? Because it sure isn't Vayne. Soraka was a nightmare again. [b][color=#7FE817]What I Learnt[/color][/b] [color=#7FE817]►[/color] Burning Summoner Spells in a gank is enough. I went bot at level 4 and burned Blitz and Sivir Flash. Decided to pretend I'd left and go in again. By then enemy mid had come bot and top TP'd down. It was a disaster. I need to know when to leave. [color=#7FE817]►[/color] Never buy anything other than Devourer on WW. I was really behind due to bot lane skirmish and thought I wouldn't be able to get Sated in a timely manner. Wrong. Just get it. WW has absolutely no damage otherwise. It was pretty sad to be a "stun bot" for the rest of the game. Lesson learnt.[/columns] [table][tr][td bgcolor=#FEEDD6 padding=1 width=1000][/td][/tr][/table] [table][tr][td bgcolor=#FEEDD6 padding=1 width=1000][/td][/tr][/table] [columns][img=http://i.imgur.com/c4xYJYG.png width=500] [nextcol][color=transparent]J H O I[/color] [nextcol][columns][center][size=5][color=#1589FF]Game 59[/color][/size] [color=transparent]JHOIJHOIJHOIJHOIJHOI[/color][/center] [table][tr][td bgcolor=#FEEDD6 padding=1 width=300][/td][/tr][/table] [nextcol][color=transparent]J H O I[/color] [nextcol][columns][center][size=6][color=#FEEDD6]S5[/color][/size] [icon=classic janna size=50][/center][/columns] [nextcol][color=transparent]J H O I[/color] [nextcol][center][size=5][color=#7FE817]VICTORY[/color][/size] [color=transparent]JHOIJHOIJHOIJHOIJHOI[/color][/center] [table][tr][td bgcolor=#FEEDD6 padding=1 width=300][/td][/tr][/table][/columns] [center][size=4][color=orange]BANS[/color][/size] [icon=kindred] [icon=mordekaiser] [icon=gangplank][/center] [b][color=#1589FF]What I Know[/color][/b] [color=#1589FF]►[/color] They've got a lot of burst, so I should grab Locket early. Also going to need to upgrade Trinket ASAP against Rengar. [color=#1589FF]►[/color] Two shields bot lane, we should be fine! :D [b][color=#FBB117]What I Want to Know[/color][/b] [color=#FBB117]►[/color] Wow. This is probably the first game I've ever played where enemy Blitz took knock up first. I know I've thought about it and I've read about it, but never seen it. Blitz also started with a [[sapphire crystal]]. They got a double kill bot lane, First Blood before we hit level 2. I think it was something like Blitz was off level 2 by one minion and went in with E, got level 2 after killing Sivir and just hit me with Q as I flashed away. Worst feeling ever. So judging by this, Mana Crystal + E first on Blitz is a good idea? [b][color=#7FE817]What I Learnt[/color][/b] [color=#7FE817]►[/color] Due to above, Sivir and I were severely behind, pushed to second turret and scared to go any further. But no one flamed and I stuck by her and we got through it. Just because one lane fails miserably, doesn't mean we can't win. [color=#7FE817]►[/color] I had too many actives that game. I can micro-manage 3. 4 is too many. I found I was spamming 1234 in lategame fights, to ally detriment. It meant I wasn't shielding early enough or using my other abilities. That game I didn't really need Mikael's. [/columns] [table][tr][td bgcolor=#FEEDD6 padding=1 width=1000][/td][/tr][/table][/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Promos for Plat :) Sitting on 43 wins, 25 losses. I'm hoping to get Plat tomorrow, though if I don't, I still have Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Picked up Soraka for the last two games. Ha, she's pretty fun. [embed=http://imgur.com/a/t6tZu][/quote]

[quote=Maintained]Best of luck with your plat promos! And if you do make it, then I congratulate you ahead time, so congrats ^_^[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Anyone know why my pictures above are shrunk so weirdly? :/[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Just thought I'd update this thread ^^ I got placed in Plat V when the season started. Currently 7/5, w/l. Going to try and play a few ranked games on the weekend ^^ Latest game below. [img=http://i.imgur.com/aJswLGH.png][/quote]

[quote=Ekki]By your LP and w/l ratio I can see that you went 5/5 in placements. And iirc you ended up Plat V close to the end of season. Given the amount of friends that went 7/3 yet ended up lower than last year I don't see how you got placed so high.[/quote]

[quote=utopus]I went 6W/4L in placements, and got placed in plat 1, despite ending last season in diamond 4. It could be that jai's MMR was exceptionally high for her rank. I haven't checked on her past games this season, but the order of her wins and losses during her placements matters as well. Going W/W/W/W/W/L/L/L/L/L is better than going L/L/L/L/L/W/W/W/W/W[/quote]
