VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/89e4dda873b2979cb2bc5b0f218440ea.jpg width=900] [br] Quality teammates really makes a difference. With [[Zed]] Mid we needed some AP. Support went [[Lux]] so that let me play something with some CC and [[Skarner]] was up so I knew what to do. [[Zed]] got ahead mostly on his own doing and then was able to support Bot lane. [[Volibear]] was camping Top but [[Darius]] didn't tilt (well mostly, he was doing some interesting things in their jungle that I thought were questionable at one point given his lack of escapes). [[Caitlyn]] got big and [[Lux]] helped us pin targets down. That all worked out into a combination that let us smash them.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/8e606aeb4fb1f73d99080753f4d53321.jpg width=900] [br] I may have to institue a rule about dodging when I have a [[Brand]] Mid. Simply too immobile with a very conditional escape clause. [[Gnar]] was nasty in champion select (another sign I should have dodged) and as soon as the going got rough. [[Brand]] eventually got tired of [[Gnar]]'s shit and AFKd so there was no way to win this one. Teammates definitely matter.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/4edfbf1b87fbba77f331ebb470e1d3f2.jpg width=900] [br] I am not quite sure what our team comp was, but it got started nicely with [[Annie]] deleting [[Fiora]] over and over. She and one of the tanks then roamed around waylaying anyone they could find, which also lead some really awkward situations that resulted in more deaths than we should have had, but our lead was good enough that it held despite some shennanigans. Whatever that was, I'll take one in the win column. Riot, if [[Wukong]] had slightly healthier jungle clears that would be great. Though then I would probably have to play against him more often and his kit is fairly binary (he gets on Top of you and kills your or he doesn't have enough in the tank an you end up killing him). Oh, I really like the ability to one hit wards when you have [[Duskblade of Draktharr]].[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/4105c49b011bbd0b148183345b5fd729.jpg width=900] [br] [[Hextech GLP-800]] as a first buy against and assassin that you are losing too. Uh, huh. One man show out of Mid lane. [[Talon]] killed [[Annie]] then roamed Bot and killed Bot lane, then roamed Top and killed Top lane. He then had enough of an item advantage that he could kill anyone on our team 1v1 unless he made a mistake. They grouped and used their advantage and our one off kills here and there were not sufficient to change the outcome. I should have played someone tankier, but I don't know that it would have made much difference, since I would still have been at an item disadvantage vs Talon and fed AD assassins can pretty easily kill tanks if the tanks don't have items.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/dbcd6dabc7441cc5bc4274575ae15b41.jpg width=900] [br] My team was very fond of pinging objectives. Yes, I know we would like to get Mid turret, but right now I'm goal keeping on a four man dive on Bot lane, so I am a bit busy not dying. WE WILL GET TO IT, JUST NOT RIGHT NOW! XD Bot lane kept tyring to get their turret, nevermind that [[Volibear]] could easily run them both down. The third time Voli and and Vayne were hiding in the lane bushes, Varus managed to kill one of them before going so at least it was a trade. Remarkably we managed good dragon control despite all the chaos. [[Morgana]] worked nicely in Mid vs [[Veigar]]. [[Jax]] didn't have [[Teleport]] and I don't think he actually got any kills with his [[Ignite]] in lane, so that was a bit problematic with all the goings on in Bot lane, but after losing his tower he walked down and managed to pick up a double kill IIRC. So everyone in the team got involved, but it was definitely not the cleanest game ever.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/3474255ebf4249d2d10b257191d0e0a5.png width=900] [br] ***tard [[Nasus]] wouldn't bother to watch my Red buff so [[Cho'gath]] ended up losing his [[Flash]] when he went over to check it. I thought they left, but Kai'sai stayed to take it making my plan to go Top after Red kind of awkward. I am really glad they buffed [[Kai'sa]] since she already did retarded damage and apparently clears a helluva lot faster than [[Skarner]]. [[Taliyah]] is also irritating to deal with as a champion like [[Skarner]]. Really should have played Nocturne for this one, but I was first pick so I couldn't tell what their team comp was going to be. Pro-tip 1: Don't pick [[Nasus]] into [[Tryndamere]]. If he is worth a shit he will just dive you at level 6 and kill you and then it is pretty much over until maybe really late game if you instantly force him to ult, but then you still have to catch him, which is easier said than done because [[Wither]] doesn't reduced the distance his spin goes or prevent him from going over walls. I literally should have dodged because of that match-up alone. Pro-tip 2: At the start of the lane do not run to and AFK at your turret. Get your damn ward out and watch a jungle entrance or group and invade if your team has the better level 1. Letting your junglers buffs get stolen might be enough to tilt them out of the game, especially if they ask you to watch them and you don't do it.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/a0d7623c4cba1718dcbc6c060b72db6f.jpg width=900] [br] Still need to remember not to dive in even if there is a juicy kill that I can pick up with my ult. Lost tempo in Mid gave when [[Katarina]] decided to try and 1v3 which drew a crowd and ended up getting three of our teammates killed. That gave them their first Baron. We were on the back foot for the rest of the game.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/91bf9a52300874e01907190b68f1e732.jpg width=900] [br] Thresh 8 deaths 18 minutes into the game, 5 deaths before 10 minutes. No lanes with priority. I should know that part of the game better as it limits your options as a jungler. Really tempted to just /mute all and see how that goes.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth]And all AD team in my next queue so dodge.[/quote]
