But the AFKs and feeders are holding me back. Actually that was true this game.
Varus died twice early in lane and then Sona AFKd after that. Varus bascially inted after that. I helped Zed and Gangplank get going and then came Bot to help Varus he walks out into the lane and just flat dies to Draven and Malzahar. Like dude, I will lane with you now. Too late they took the turret. Yeah because you walked out and died to them when you had no need to do that. Kind of sucked too, because Zed went on a rampage a real one and was **** stomping their team practically by himself and GP was scaling up nicely. It would have been hard to win, but it might have been doable had Varus not given up.
Why are the former platinum players such poo or the biggest *******s in a game at gold? Our
Twitch, on one of the best team fighting champions in the game, just AFK pushed Bot lane and died over and over. My team was complaining about Top but that was not the main problem. The main problem was not having Twitch with the team and him dying before we were in a position to put pressure in another area on the map. Yeah if you are disgustingly fed on him you can run around assassinating people from stealth. But if you aren't fed or the enemy team is doing well in spite of your fedness, it doesn't work.
Nunu & Willump to stronk. Well, he is in a good spot at the moment, but he kind of empowers your team and if your team doesn't want to be empowered...Good grief
Galio is tanky. Was rather irritating to deal with. Nasus and Vladimir lane swapped which helped some but then Vlad spent a lot of time pushed way to far up and dying to Jarvan IV ganks. It was feeling like we simply didn't have enough damage to deal with their team then I caught onto the fact that Draven was building a freaking Trinity Force and I told him to knock that off and buy some armor penetration then I simply kept him Blood Boiled and body blocked for him as much as I could. Once we kept him standing the fights started going better.
Had a good early game and relatively piss poor mid game. Forgot I was an assassin and not a burly bruiser. On top of that my team seemed to forget that we needed to fight together to use our CC on
Master Yi so he got to go ham in a couple fights. Can you say worrisome trend? Fortunately we were far enough ahead to get our heads back on straight and finish laying waste to their base. The End.
One of those nightmare
Nunu & Willump games when all your lanes feed. Fiora was being solo killed by Rumble, which is a match-up that should slightly favor Fiora. I had the enemy Bot side jungle lit up like the Las Vegas and yet our Bot lane got ganked for double kills twice by Jarvan IV. Twitch, "but he has this huge gap closer." Uh, yeah, but you saw him coming even before he got into the river, he should never have gotten close enough to close the distance. Sigh.
And another game of AFKs.
Rumble was apparently having ping issues. And eventually DCd after dying three times. Xayah gave up and sat at the fountain for most of the rest of the game.Also another game where I get to realize how poorly people pay attention to the mini-map. In most of my games I would kill to know where the enemy jungler is the majority of laning phase, but when I provide that sort of vision it is rarely paid attention to. Super freakin' frustrating.
I think I might not play ranked on Friday nights. Seems to be a different set of people that don't know their arse from a hole in the ground.
I also don't understand why people with ping issues feel the need to point out their ping over and over. We get it, your ping is bad. You need to tell us every 5 minutes max.
Well either I am bad at
Nunu & Willump or I'm just not getting the team play that I need to make him work. Going to put him aside for now and just use Gragas if I need a tank. Our Jax got spanked despite me helping him kill Tryndamere twice in lane. Though most of the spank consistet of him throwing his lead by diving in 1v3 or to obvious lost causes. Their Ezreal kept getting huge and we had stupid **** like Lucian walking out from behind me only to get hooked by Blitzcrank. Uh dude your tank is standing in front of you to body block that stuff. Sigh.The
Ice Blast interaction vs vlad and his pool seems weird. Just cancels the snowball in the middle of the air. It is a freaking targeted ability, I feel like it should follow him and slow him if it is in the air when he pools. Like blood gets cold and becomes viscous...
Yay, a team with the werewithal to stick it despite a rough early game.
Xin Zhao was a gank machine. He made life rough for Annie taking her out a couple of times despite me being in place for the countergank, but I think his early success made him develop Xin Zhao syndrome so he started overdiving and dying. Bot lane was the only lane that was doing reasonably well so I focused most of my attention down there. Annie got herself back in the game with a double kill in Top lane. After that she was a big force in team fights. Mistakes were made. But they made more than we did. I think they could have taken Baron pretty early and won the game but they didn't make the call.

Late game was wonky because
Seen a few high damage
I need to remember to buy a sweeper for crucial objectives like Baron and Elder Dragon. Though often I find the vision more useful. Also sometimes ward jumping on
I appreciate that
Focused on remembering to pop my ult before diving in. That also saved my bacon a few times this game.
Need to remember not to blow all my gap closers before they use their escapes.
