Okay, I wasn’t done. XD
Dodged a game on my main account because someone picked
Teemo for Mid. Vs. Zed. No thanks. I'll take the drop to B2. Whatever.Switched to my secondary account and decided to play an
Evelynn game. Got fed early and the rest of my team was able to hold their own or also put their foot down.Setup a semi-tent Mid lane. Also worked over Bot lane some. Mostly left Top lane alone as
Maokai was keeping Gangplank pushed into his turret and when I did nose around up their Mao waved me off and then signaled for us to take Rift Herald which we did.

Miss Fortune was DCd for the first 8 minutes or so of the game. Soraka did a divine job of handling the lane by herself. 97 CS with support runes and a champion with no mobility. And they did it with no complaints. Totally gave her a teamwork point for her efforts. Xin Zhao into Fiora. Lets think about this a little. Xin straight line dash against a straight line slow or stun. Yeah, not a Fiora counter. And yes the Xin did pick into the Fiora.With heaps of pressure from a silly fed
Fiora, Master Yi had time to get big. GG.

Oddly
Cho'Gath doesn’t do very well against an Iceborn Gauntlet toting Ezreal. No idea why. Was definitely a little annoyed at the choice of Cho'Gath as support but whatever. We kept up a lot of pressure on Bot lane forcing them to farm under turret, which gave me a nice CS advantage.Initial sounds from the other lanes seemed promising. Then about 10 minutes or so in, the sounds stopped sounding so good.
Two pretty much ineffective ganks from
Elise.Two really stupid fights. One in a choke point to the left of their blue buff. Why did’t you help
Sivir? Well, maybe because the enemy team was closing the trap on the pincer move from behind and I didn’t want to get pinched along with you two idiots.Another where my team tried to fight around Dragon pit except I was on the Bot lane side and a portion of my team was on the Mid lane side. Dragon wasn’t even up. No idea why my team went for that.
Ranked is getting old in a hurry. I most definitely have not played perfectly, but damn if I haven’t been trying. My CS is generally at or near the top of the chart. I tend to limit my deaths by considering my position relative to my vision. I’ve been working more at grouping with the team even when they are doing something stupid like sieging Mid with no wards on either side of the jungle in the theory that 5 wrongs are more likely to survive the wrong if they work as a team.
I need to be a little less jittery as ADC, but it is hard man when you know you will have no peel. Team fighting in bronze and even silver most of the time feels like a complete random scrum. No one gets killing the enemy team from front to back. They just see a carry and go after them, which gives your ADC the heebie jeebies because they generally have no peel at the point when the bloodlust gets into the rest of your team. I’ve even had really good lane supports stink it up in team fights because they wind up leaving the ADC or APC exposed to the other team.

I won one. Yay! Not flashy. Mostly kept up in farm, killed a couple of people, contributed to wave clear, and didn’t stink it so badly that the rest of my team couldn't carry it. I'll take it. XD

We got shat on in every lane. Darius AFKd from lane and showed up at my Red buff. I knew he was missing so I manage not to get killed by him but he got Red.
Yasuo got it back from him so that went reasonably well. But that was pretty much the only thing that worked out all right. Frustrating when you have no chance whatsoever from early on in the game.This did not feel like a Bronze level game.
I think I want real solo queue back. Best guess is that people are playing together on voice com which makes it hard for the peeps that aren’t especially if it is your team that is mostly singletons.

Morgana game. Got Miss Fortune first blood. We came back to lane and gave them a double kill because we didn’t setup the all in by trading with them a few times first. Later I Fd up and got hooked by Thresh while trying to ward the river bush. He and Lucian were hiding in there and I should have been more careful. That screwed with my head so my play was subpar after that.Their Xin Zhao slaughtered everyone. The End.0-3-10 My first game supporting a
Jhin. I somehow died twice in lane as Janna. Sad face. Must remember that Jhin can’t do extended trades. Jhin must also remember that he can’t do extended trades. Jhin should also not be an ***hat. Murderous maybe, but not an ***hat, because he most definitely got me killed one of the those by forgetting about the extended trade part. Jhin and Xin Zhao should shut their pie holes and play the game instead of sniping at each other the whole time. I reported them both. One of them got sanctioned according to the message that popped up on my screen after the game.0-1-13
Morgana game. Oy! A victory! Lucian and I stomped lane. I nailed a lot of good Dark Bindings. Pleased with this one.10-7-8
Ekko game. IIRC I was 7-1-8 at one point. Oh yea. This was the game with the whiny *** Zed. You won’t gank for me. Well it is a Singed and you already let him kill you twice. And I’ve picked up and double kill and a mid kill by ganking Bot and Mid. So I was thinking about just continuing to get them fed. Problem is my Bot lane was still getting shat on. I helped Zed some even killing Singed a couple of times. Zed whines about me helping shove the wave into the turret after one such outcome. Alistar and Vayne were not getting along. Alistar wanted Vayne to play safe because Jinx counters her. WTF. He was literally standing around doing nothing quite a lot to the time. Oh and 5 minutes after I helped Lissandra kill Lux she pinging me to help her with Lux again, which I would have been happy to do except my Bot lane was pinned under their turret having a bad time of it so I went Bot for that double kill I mentioned earlier. Then Liss complains that she died because I changed directions. Mmm, you pinged out Lux. I did not ping that I was coming in for a gank though I did start heading in that direction. So perhaps I will try to put a nvm in chat when I do that in the future. Still don't blame me if you died. What if say the other jungler had caught me in route?

I've started doing support again. But I may stop because if you pick support as your secondary you are going to get support no matter what your primary is. Riot has got to fix that. I kind of wish you could put percentage into the system. Pick fill. 20% Top, 50% Bot, 10% Support, 10% jungle, 10% mid. Or something like that to ensure that your aren't stuck getting the same position ever time since apparently no on wants to play support.
Braum ****s on Jhin if you can go aggressive on him early game. You can still do pretty well against him Mid and Late game as well. I suspect our Caitlyn was a smurf. She put us in her backpack and carried us screaming to a win. I just tried to keep her alive. Only knock was there was a point were we could have gotten their Bot base turret after taking the Bot Inner turret but Caitlyn rotated Mid. Syndra and I took out the Bot outer turret and started banging on the Bot base turret and Caitlyn got herself killed though she did pick up a kill in the process. She said she rotated because there was minion wave Mid which makes some since but if Syndra and I were able to do as much damage as we did, with Caitlyn’s help we might have been able to take our the Bot base turret and inhibitor.

Opted for
Alistar since I was first pick and he was available. Fairly boring lane. Ezreal was pretty good at hitting Mystic Shot so he kept plinking away at Jinx. I couldn’t really all-in that well against Black Shield so I maxed Triumphant Roar in lane after deciding that I wasn’t going to get much off Headbutt or Pulverize. We had a nice turret dive just after their Mid tower was taken. But they returned the favor with a four person gank Bot and got Ezreal but they blew a lot to do it. Meanwhile they lost their Top turret and their Top inner was under threat. All in all our team did a fairly decent job of coordinating and all the lanes did well.Back in Bronze 1 baby. Still don’t want to support all the time. Not sure how to work around that since matchmaking seems to put anyone that wants it even as a secondary role there.
Dynamic Queue: How to Ensure You Get Jg 90% of the Time
Should have thought of this. Ah well. Going to give this a whirl. Will practice my Kayle to screw Zed, Morgana to screw LeBlanc, and Annie to screw Yasuo for the rare occasions when I get Mid.
Sad thing is I actually like playing support. I just don't want it all the time.

I give up. This is infuriating. It doesn’t matter if I farm harder, gank more, ward more, or rotate and take turrets. It all equals a Defeat.
I’ve gotten my *** handed to me in two late come counter ganks. I need to figure that part out. May have been standing on a ward in my return gank on the
I’m working on my waiting until they blood lust before ganking rather than just charging in. That is actually working. Definitely netted some early kills that way, but I’m not translating that into any momentum in the game. Early game it is hard because you probably aren’t going to take a tower off a single kill. So I go back to farming?
I’ll add to the decision tree?
Tower?
Dragon?
Gank?
Counter jungle?
Farm?
I'm certainly doing something wrong. But I am not sure exactly what. Last season I was able to climb relatively steadily. Each little bit of knowledge adding up to better play and more consistent outcomes. Right now it feels like something is off.
