VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/ed146f7cb3ba833c48bc1355bf38df37.png width=700] [br] I guess it is time to abuse [[Duskblade of Draktharr]]. Should have dodged this game when I saw the Kassadin pick into [[Gangplank]], or you know maybe picked [[Sejuani]] who has armor built into her passive.[/quote]

He was about to die to the Gragas so I walk over to cover his lane so he can back and he hangs around and the Gragas [[Flash]] + [[Body Slam]]s him and he dies and then he bitches at me for coming over to "farm'. Muted. Later I was getting tag teamed in my jungle and we could have turned that around if he had just come over, but no he ults in after I am chunked so low that I die before his ult completes channeling. Teams really matter. If you get a good one life is peachy but if you get a dysfunctional one...[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/ebb61bf3549e62fe7258029d9800eb0e.png width=700] [br] Okay done with ranked for the night. Three games and literally not one winning lane. Kind of limits what I can do[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth]Forgot that I decided I shouldn't play ranked on Friday, because it has been a shit show every time I have tried it this season and this past Fridays outcomes adds another data point in that direction.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/d7dfae7308cfa50b2027b359e0fce233.png width=700] [br] Woo. Finally had a team that held up during laning phase. [[Rengar]] crushed it in Top lane and spread the wealth around the rest of the map to some extent, though he spent a lot of time hanging out in bushes looking for pick opportunities, which is a little different than the pressure created by a splitpusher.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/84fbae4c2cb0f5797ae02b6f6daf1ba5.png width=700] [br] It is amazing what you can do when you have a couple of winning lanes vs all losing lanes. Their [[Taliyah]] and [[Master Yi]] both took some ill advised tower dives to try to take me out and I made them pay for it, which got me off to a good start. Late game I just ate [[Master Yi]] when he inevitably went aggro onto my team or I would munch [[Tristana]] if I could get close enough to her. [[Illaoi]] got a little annoyed that I hadn't ganked the [[Dr. Mundo]], especially when she saw me go into Master Yi's top side jungle to counter jungle while he was on the other side of the map. After, I used the blast cone to hop over the wall, walked into lane, and ate Dr. Mundo. "Yah, happy now?"[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/4efe201ee4ef8748d52bbe7b0ce35137.png width=700] [br] My power cut out twice during this game, which is unusual. Most days it is stable and I had already played many games today, so really unexpected to have that happen. Despite that, we were so far ahead that it apparently didn't matter. So yay for the win, but I would have liked to have been involved through the whole thing. Need to remember that once I blow my [[Flash]] against and invasive jungler like [[Kha'zix]] I need to be super careful. Going to the other side of my jungle isn't entirely safe as they will often just show up at your next buff and try to kill you there. Maybe better to back and get to full health? It turned out it bite him in the butt as we had enough enough wards around that my team was able to collapse on him the second time he tried such shenanigans. The [[Thresh]] made a lot of good shot calls. Seemed to have a higher awareness than typical so my suspicion is that they were a smurf.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/54d7d0e86824e323e63224b62f0e36ad.png width=700] [br] Riding the [[Cho'gath]] pony until Riot nerfs him in 7.15. Their team was actually a little annoying range and mobility wise. Our Bot lane got destroyed in lane. So much so that I wasn't sure this game was winnable, but [[Tryndamere]] stomped on [[Jayce]] in the early game, which should not happen and he kept us somewhat even in gold by taking down towers. He also rotated in ways that helped our team, which I think was important for us to stay in this one. I went for a gank on [[Jayce]] and chunked him, but [[Garen]] showed up for the counter gank. I didn't want to blow my [[Flash]] if I didn't have to so I waddled over to the turret but got low enough that I decided I had better [[Flash]] so I did, but I died after, but I couldn't tell from what based on the death recap. Maybe he got an extra auto in before I flashed? But I thought I had enough health to survive that. So sad day. The game was fast paced enough because of how fast Bot lane turret went down that I didn't have much of a chance to farm up and recover. Later in the game I just tried to sit on [[Tristana]] and keep her alive as long as possible, which was tricky given her penchant for less than stellar positioning. Oh well, with pressure from having an inhibitor down thanks to Tryndamere we were able to get Baron. Then we took out another inhibitor turret and then smartly retreated and went for Elder Drake while Tryndamere ran interference, running them right back toward us...XD We got Elder Drake and then crushed them in the team fight that followed with only [[Jayce]] getting out. Then we ran it up Mid to win the game.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/31bed0f899770cfd4112dd7d0fe30060.png width=700] [br] Continuing on ride the tank train. Actually died quite a few times this game from concentrated fire. Turret shots still hurt after a while. Tried the two buff clear to avoid [[Lee Sin]]. He did come looking for me, but he was late to the party by quite a bit. [[Gangplank]] was mopping the floor with [[Garen]] in the early game though that kind of turned around later in the game as GP kept trying to wreck Garen without good wards and Garen started to get some help as he was pushed closer to his base. Helped out [[Zed]] with a fairly early kill on [[Kassadin]]. Still our early game lead was good enough to keep us in the drivers seat despite some missteps. Zed thought Kassadin got his silence restored in 7.14. I'm like WTF? It will stop a channel but it doesn't silence. But they didn't believe me. I'm like okee.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth]And chose to dodge one because your Top laner banned our supports pick and then was a complete dick about it when called out and I didn't want to deal with a tilted support and dick Top laner.[/quote]
