This wasn't a game I thought we would win, Leblanc fed Fizz really hard, but Jhin was doing pretty well bottom and I solo killed Jax, but things still weren't looking that great.
In one teamfight Leona got a 4 man ulti, and combined with me, we bursted down 3 of them easily, this really turned things around, and allowed us to get baron.
Though we didn't get to make too much use of the baron, we did get some picks.
After another few picks in the jungle, we pushed down mid and left. One more teamfight after that we were able to end the game with.
Guess it's never over till its over.

Bottomlane got stomped really hard this game, I actually could handle Pantheon pretty well. Lucian and Naut also refused to just sit back and farm and kept feeding sadly.
Twisted Fate came to gank for me, without a gold card after you ultied...I died.
Gragas also missed so many body slams this game it was funny, and I missed a flash stun, I was embarrassed for everyone.
We just couldn't win against their early game and well played combo of Nami/Jhin.
They pushed down our base no problem to end.
I'm getting nowhere with this one win one loss.

This game had me somewhat worried, but our late game started to really ramp up over time.
I knew Irelia would be good here since Shen can't prevent her farming and she has a lot of tenacity for all the spells that they have. Jhin and Syndra also being immobile makes Irelia really strong against them. I also didn't want to Riven into a Braum, and Irelia is great against him.
Every fight I was able to easily dive and kill Syndra/Jhin or zone them out of the fights, I put in quite a bit of work this game.
We took baron and pushed in their base no problem, all of us ended up dying except Vayne though, who was able to xpeke their Nexus.

I didn't do anything this game, I got hyper carried by our Kat who just got super fed and I just farmed in toplane with Jarvan.
I did solo kill him though, and uh our team pushed their whole base while I just farmed.
That was pretty much the whole game.
Oh I also got level 5 Poppy as well.

I mostly knew this game was lost when I saw we had Bard on our team, but also I sadly did some stupid things and ended up feeding the Quinn, the first time not realizing she had exhaust and the second because I didn't notice how much of lead she had.
I tried to turn the game around picking up kills, but the team had mostly given up at that point, and Bard was building AP.
Hard game, Quinn is a thorn in my side, and Udyr did nothing for any of the lanes sadly and had all his farm taken by Elise.

What I did learn from last game was first picking Riven is probably a terrible idea overall, and I went Poppy.
Since I ended up against a Graves, this was a great choice, as she can counter him pretty hard. I was able to get plenty of solo kills on him in the midgame which was great.
I got dove by Twisted Fate and Udyr into my second tier turret, but I pinned Udyr against the wall and he died for it, was pretty great, while Warwick picked up the kill on TF.
We lost a team fight and they went for baron, I was able to kill Udyr which allowed Warwick to flash in and steal baron.
After that we just outrotated them even though they kept trying to spiltpush and we pushed in there base for the win.
I was a stun machine this game.

I got tilted this game straight up, and it was after being dived by Amumu at level 3. After which I proceeded to do stupid things and Naut killed me 3 more times, once under tower even.
Once we hit the mid game things were looking better until Gangplank was doing insane amounts of damage to our whole team and everyone was dying. They were able to take the first baron off this, which we stalled out luckily and they didn't get anything big.
This was the moment I decided it was all on me to dive and take care of Gangplank, and I did in a very crucial fight which lead to us getting slightly ahead. Later in the game I tried to spilt but they went for baron so I TPd in and we won that team fight as well.
We were able to at least take their Nexus towers, but Nocturne and Morgana died trying to end the game.
After one more good teamfight, where I chased down Gangplank again, we were able to close out the game.
One more win away from Gold 1 again, feels good man.

So if anything, I'm pretty confident I belong in at least in Gold 1/Platinum V, as I've clawed my way back up.
The first game was quite close, and we were almost able to end it, but sadly we overstayed and got wiped for them to end the game. I was completely destroyed by Garen in lane because of one stupid mistake of greed, but I was able to turn it around and almost carry the game.
This second game we played it out like we were in LCS team, it was amazing, the rotations, the good warding, the team dives, everything was executed very well. The enemy team surrendered very quickly after they realized we weren't playing normal solo q.

I have a hard time believing any of these players belong in high gold, so toxic and didn't know how to handle spiltpushing at all.
All they did was really argue with eachother and I tried my best to get them to focus, but wasn't good enough.
Was a terrible game overall, and a winnable game had the team not gone full toxic mode and not thinking straight at all.
Illaoi fed a lot, but that didn't matter.
