VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/b30166dc0f46df0918e043058d7e0cec.png width=700] [br] And [[Ashe]] Top. How about [[Quinn]] or [[Vayne]] or [[Graves]]? You know ones that are somewhat viable in Top lane? Jeebus gank bait galore for a [[Volibear]] and [[Singed]] tandem. That would have been a long string of an "ally has been slain" resulting in a splitpushing monster of a Singed. Damn people already complaining in champion select. Yeah, one us is about to either lose 3 LP and 5 minutes of our time. + be less flexible about dodging the next queue if some asshole wants to pick something that isn't viable. Or 20+ minutes of our time and 17+LP. Damn straight they are complaining. +Side Effect of complaining about this on my ranked post. I kill the 5 minute dodge penalty.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/20046fbe3d2912d61e909d11a24c8be7.png width=700] [br] [[Caitlyn]] started whining in champion select. GG you left up [[Zed]] and gosh just everyone. Chill we have 3 bans. You can't ban everyone and besides [[Anivia]] has her egg. Caitlyn - yeah but she can only use that once. I just left it at that since I didn't know what else to say. Bot lane was not having a fun time. They get double killed. I came over to just try and protect the tower, but may have gotten greedy and went for [[Morgana]] who was in AA range of the tower with a few minions. Yeah, she might have snared me, pooled me, and ulted me, and had [[Jhin]] snare me while they were waiting for Morgana's ult to finish channeling. I went and took a crap while I was waiting for the chain CC to wear off, but unfortunately it didn't before I died. Caitlyn...."thx Wu!" me - "mistakes were made...but Morg's ult is down so go kill them." And they do. I was like whoa someone actually listened to me! Had some fun deleting Corki. In all chat "Wow! WTF was that?" [[Decoy]] + [[Flash]] + [[Nimbus Strike]] + [[Cyclone]] my friend. Toasted [[Dr. Mundo]] every time he came into auto attack range of Top tower, so IIRC between [[Trundle]] and myself we killed him at least three times in lane and I almost got him a fourth time. Facepalm moment. I ping Bot lane that Corki is MIA and he has the package. They back off. "Wheww" I think to myself. Then "Oh, they are going back in. Why are they going back in?" And you can guess how that went. Mid game [[Skarner]] was just crapping on our whole team. Like WTF is that damage? Apparently it his Skarner carry build. And it was effective until it wasn't. Late game [[Caitlyn]] was able to shred him. I do have to give some props to Caitlyn for building [[Mortal Reminder]]. That made dealing with Dr. Mundo easier. My [[Guardian Angel]] got popped twice and one of my deaths was while it was on cool down. I didn't sell it because I found in an earlier game that [[Randuin's Omen]] costs more than you can sell the GA for so I just sat on it. It was back up by the time we had our last major fight right after taking Baron. It popped for the 2nd time in that fight, but I did enough damage to their back line that my team was able to clean up in time for me to revive allowing me to take part in the dismantling of their base. Fun game.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/2f03e71cf30b8950a7b7f5658380ad17.jpg width=900] [br] Accidental but timely countergank netted [[Darius]] a kill on [[Volibear]]. Darius was going ham on [[Ekko]] and Voibear popped out of the lane bushes. Darius thought he was donzo, but between the two of us we took out Voli while Ekko headed for the hills. [[Zed]] had a rough go of it early game. I did a level three gank mid, but forgot I hadn't leveled my [[Bandage Toss]] yet so I ended up [[Flash]]ing onto [[Twisted Fate]]. Chunked him a bit but that was about it. Zed hung around while on rather low health, but so did TF and Zed was able to pick up a kill on him though there was enough time between the kill and my gank that I didn't get an assist. Bot lane was getting wrecked. [[Ashe]] and [[Morgana]] killed [[Jinx]] and [[Soraka]] by themselves. I rotated over when everyone got back to lane because I figured they wouldn't have thier ults up yet and was able to pick up a double kill for myself. Our Bot lane was still struggling so I came down again and we were able pick up Morg and Ashe again. Mid game my team wanted to go ARAM even though I kept trying to herd them to Top lane since there was no inhibitor to get in Mid, but I couldn't get them to go Top (I wanted to be Top to be near Baron). We did that a couple of times and it cost every time as TF was able to port in behind us and their team was able to initiate from base. We eventually lost our Mid base tower and Mid inhibitor. [[Ashe]] was well farmed and able to sit back and wreck us even though I was always able to get to her. Unfortunately I went a magic damage heavy build instead of a tank heavy build since our team didn't have much in the way of magic damage, so despite the fact that I could get to her and chunk her for 3/4 of her health she was able to [[Heal]] and kite back and our team wasn't following up on her, which usually meant I would die since her permaslow would prevent me from getting back out. We ended up trading the Elder Dragon for Baron since they knew we were on the Elder Dragon due to [[Hawkshot]]. [[Zed]] ended up running over there and killing [[Morgana]] as she was basing. IIRC correctly we caught TF and Volibear as well and this time there were enough of us alive that we were able to push into their base for the win despite [[Ashe]] and [[Ekko]] still being up. Good game with some back and forth, but with us being in the drivers seat for the most part.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/005f9c73384f15432eb8855151f042a6.png width=700] [br] We got destroyed early game. Their [[Kha'zix]] picked up a kill on [[Ekko]] early game, despite me pinging that Kha was there. :( I rotated over to help out [[Ekko]] and it looked like we had [[Hecarim]] but Kha was either lying in wait or got their due to the length of time it took us to kill Hecarim and he killed both Ekko and myself. Really pissed about a screw up I had when they were sieging our Mid turret. I had at least 4 of them in my sites for a leap over the Raptor wall and accidentally activated my ult instead of [[Elastic Slingshot]]. bang bang bang. Since Yasuo was on route that might have netted us some additional kills instead of none since they managed to just trash us when we tried to engage on them after after they retreated from the tower. Later in the game it seemed like ever time we would pick up a kill they would turn it around and pick up a double or triple kill so we weren't ever able to gain any momentum. Toward end game they had enough of a lead that they were just melting us in team fights so there wasn't much to be done. Sad zaun amorphous combatant. I think I like going more full tank better on [[Zac]]. Feel like I end up being too squishy when I go for the [[Enchantment: Runic Echoes]] build path, but I wasn't sure how Ekko was going to build so I thought we would need a decent amount of magic damage.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/8a9968694de480cb25dea19f2800c7df.png width=700] [br] The early game went rather well. [[Trundle]] was lagging a bit but he wasn't feeding [[Illaoi]] any kills given that he was lagging and we managed to team up together and kill her even with her ulting on Top of us. [[Lissandra]] was crushing [[Ekko]]. Bot lane got ganked a couple of times by [[Hecarim]] and handled themselves quite well. Maybe getting chunked but not dying and not giving up their turret. I came Bot and helped even things up down there. Enjoying [[Wukong]]. He does silly amounts of burst damage and even if you are behind somewhat you can at least be a knock-up bot for however long you live. I opted for [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] instead of [[The Black Cleaver]] because I figured [[Lucian]] would go for tBC. Should have actually looked at his build because he didn't go that build route. Still the chase potential, engage potential, and additional attack speed from YGB is rather nice to have on Wu and it did help me pick up a kill or two that I might not have otherwise been able to get. Good game with help from the entire team in putting one in the V column.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/2cc60b4bb399341fed50f9a614491c39.png width=700] [br] Happy case of all lanes winning. [[Graves]] was pressuring [[Lulu]] pretty hard, so I came up and blew his [[Flash]]. He kept pushing hard so I came back around and by that time [[Lulu]] had chunked him pretty good so it made for an easy kill. [[Ziggs]] stomped Mid then roamed Top several times and also got a nice clean-up kill on [[Soraka]] with his ult. At some point [[Twisted Fate]]'s computer crashed according to one of his team mates so that made finish the game pretty easy given our lead. [[Shen]] feels so slow in the jungle also the cool down on his ult was feeling like it was taking forever. It has the same cool down as Twisted Fate's and it is truly global so I guess it has that going for it. Was nice to pick up a win, though it was a bit more one sided that I like. Of course the next time I'm getting stomped I'll complain the other way so... XD[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/4278c26cfc97ad058d14d1750de36fb1.png width=700] [br] [[Kennen]] was handling [[Nasus]] in Top lane. I ganked mid twice and netted us two kills on [[Nautilus]]. Every time I tried to gank Bot [[Quinn]] ended up there too so it got messy. We kept getting out okay then someone would decide to re-engage and [[Morgana]] got pulled into their turret two separate times. The seconed time I was like Oh no. Not again. Yep. Again. Once we got the outer turrets down I got Morgana to put some wards in their jungle so we could see them coming and going so that helped us get some picks or gave us enough vision that we could comfortably take out other objectives. After one series of skirmishes in their jungle we got them Bottom inhibtor. I wanted to Baron after that but we caught enough of them again that we were able to push down their Mid turret and inhibitor. Eventually we got the Elder Dragon followed by some more picks and we were able to shove into their base for the win.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/674e09239616e9937d04cb1b19c68ee0.png width=700] [br] [img=https://i.gyazo.com/625b6f22f1a2b36e3be8f72f45f977f9.png width=700] [br] [[Master Yi]] was tilted for life after [[Veigar]] hid in his jungle and nuked him at his red. Poor decision making ensued. He tried to dive [[Viktor]] and died. Then he and [[Nasus]] tried to dive [[Garen]] who ended up with a double kill. Literally nothing he tried after that worked out right. Garen and I teamed up once to kill [[Nasus]] together, but for the most part he was handling this lane just fine. Veigar and [[Ezreal]] were doing well in Bot lane and Viktor was doing well in Mid. All I basically had to do was make sure the team stayed somewhat focused on objectives, which we were basically getting anyway after each skirmish so that wasn't even all that hard.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/9d2c81c2d081a1db04f353b42286e2c5.png width=700] [br] GD I hate laners that ping ping ping for assistance. It isn't a magic fing button that makes me instantly appear. What the hell do you expect a level 3 [[Amumu]] to do when you can't even get your laner below half health. And you can't freaking mute pings. [[Zed]] was getting his ass stomped because he couldn't dodge q's to save his life. Hey dork. He hits them when you have to stand still for a moment to go for a CS. Try you know dodging erratically so he doesn't know where you are going to be. And buy a damn [[Hexdrinker]]...no not a [[Serrated Dirk]] and sit on it. You are countered deal with it. Bang bang bang. I came over just to apply some pressure and Zed is sitting behind is fing turret. You pinged for me. I'm here. Let's do something. smh I think I should have started Bot side for a better leash. My pathing was such that I seemed to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Part of it was being torn between helping who I should have been helping and our freaking Zed who would not stop pinging. Walk to lane. Get chunked. Ping. Ping. Ping. Back. Rinse repeat. Dude if that happened three times in a row you are doing something wrong. You have ranged spells use them. grrrrrrr. I think I was also irritated that we had 2 bronze III players on our team [[Zed]] and [[Kalista]] and they played like it and our Silver 1 Thresh wasn't all that impactful as far as I could tell. The lowest player on the enemy team was Silver IV. There is a difference between Bronze 3 and Silver IV. There was so much true damage on their team that I just died within about 3 seconds of going in even after I just started building full tank to try and get enough health to deal with all the damage. I had some beautiful 4+ people ults and my team pretty much wasn't able to convert on them/we didn't have enough damage to kill them given all the healing [[Fiora]] could provide to her team. Late game I screwed up and went too deep. Got a beautiful ult on their team, but my team wasn't close enough to follow-up. I got out but had to run right back to the fountain to heal and buy and [[Elixir of Iron]] before running back into the fray. We beat them off our Bot tower, but Fiora was able to split and get our Mid inhibitor down again. We actually had a good fight after that and killed two of their team but then Thresh face checked a bush or went after someone he saw and lanterned in [[Kalista]] right after him and they both ended up dying to the 3 enemy champions that were there. GG.[/quote]
