VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/97c0e7ddbdc3a00fd171d4027c92c4dc.jpg width=900] [br] Been playing some [[Master Yi]]. It is nice having a champion that ramps up into the game unlike [[Xin Zhao]] were the game feels like it gets harder as the game goes on. And [[Master Yi]]'s early game is not as godawful as it is made out to be. As long as you hold onto your E, [[Wuju Style]] and only use it if you get invaded or want to duel some one you actually do surpisingly well vs even some of the more well known duelests. The most difficult part of this game was dealing with a fed [[Leblanc]] who could delete our fed [[Kai'sa]]. Fortunately our overall team fight was better and [[Nunu]] started making poor choices about how far ahead of his team he got. Oh and burning through objectives. Ahh, Yi goes through Dragons, Rift Heralds, and Barons like a hot knife through butter. Much easier to solo them than it is with Xin.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/a01cdb2d0f3587f47c2dcb5d7e3fd167.jpg width=900] [br] 23 minute baron then a follow up fight where we caught the [[Ornn]] and then erased the majority of their team. Knew when we killed [[Shyvana]] between myself, with [[Guinsoo's Rageblade]] compelete and [[Vayne]] we could do Baron. One death I decided to cut off the [[Shyvana]] but I didn't respect how fast her teammates could respond. Need to remember that I'm not invincible. Can still lose at 2 v 1 (or in this case what turned into a 4 v 1) with enough CC thrown around. Used [[Meditate]] to avoid getting taken out by a [[Jinx]] rocket.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/928abf79484aced17d2b0b92ff73601c.jpg width=900] [br] Early game went like this. Started Red Buff and then got [[Yasuo]]'s [[Flash]] and unfortunately [[Lux]] had [[Teleport]] and not [[Ignite]] so [[Yasuo]] got to walk away on maybe 10 health. Got Top scuttle. Then wasted a lot of time dicking around with [[Lee Sin]] on the Bot side of the map. I got that scuttle too, but then Lee invaded me and got my Blue since I didn't have [[Smite]] to secure it since I had used it on the scuttle in front of him. I was pretty low too, and I wasn't getting any rotation from my laners so I just left that side of my jungle. Took my Raptors and then too his Blue which was still up, but I neglected to notice the [[Yasuo]] moving and between hima and Lee showing up I ended up dying. So needless to say I was kinda screwed and down in levels and withouth the Yasuo first blood down in gold from where I might have been. No one else on the team was able to make up the difference so we ended up caving to them across the map.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/fff7ea11564ae80619c4ac108aec4f71.jpg width=900] [br] Yeah, [[Kog'maw]] happened. I was really suprised when [[Draven]] and [[Blitzcrank]] were stuck under their turret vs the [[Kog'maw]] and [[Thresh]]. Figured our lane should have had pressure, but no. We killed them a couple of times, but it wasn't enough. Needed [[Fizz]] to get on him every time early and it just wasn't happening. Was planning on building an [[Adaptive Helm]] last item, since I needed armor item to even have a chance of dealing with the the [[Yorick]] who just pound my ass into the dirt, which he did twice in one walk down a lane.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/334850b235e930a39580e5f07114194b.jpg width=900] [br] And nope. Strategically minded [[Sion]] strikes a wins. Kinda didn't help that my [[Miss Fortune]] was 7000g behind the Lucian. Apparently she only plays [[Caitlyn]]? which Varius banned. There was never actually any team fighting because Garen and Sion were off doing their thing, so really no way to setup a situation where MF could get off and ult, so our comp which had ways of holding them in place never really did that. I think if I'm playing Master Yi again with the Sion in my game, I build completely to kill them as fast as possible.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth]And F, I'm doing it, again. Hardest thing in league of legends for me is sticking to one champion. I want the easy way out. Not learning the fundamentals. How to get ahead, how to stay ahead, what to do if behind, etc.,. I'm sitting on a 60% winrate on [[Xin Zhao]] and always immediately want to play something else whenever I lose on him. 60% is good enough to climb. It does not mean that I will win every game. I might need a support group. XD[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/9fa6ba58965d3cea3a825a332fd00f0b.jpg width=900] [br] Had good teammates. [[Vayne]] was confident in chat even when things went a little awry. I think that helped with morale. We definitely had some things go awry upon occasion, but we bounced back and continued to play aggressively. 1 death, I was trying to prevent them from getting 1st turret gold, but I wasn't going to get there quite in time. I decided to go on the [[Kayn]] anyway and got him, but [[Teemo]] took me out. Not sure if I should have taken that, but once I was in, I was in. I think the better thought would be what is the state of the map if I do this? Like before I go in. Is my Bot lane in peril? Are all my camps up so I would be wasting time I could be getting a lead through farming. Kayne did not have shutdown gold, so I didn't get a major windfall for killing him in exchange for my life. I don't believe I gave over a shut down either as I was like 2-2-2 at that point if I remember correctly. To tunnel on that play because I didn't think about that thing.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/10f5b6c5c7dd2836e4fac02f1ff65a30.jpg width=900] [br] We had no real engage besides me suiciding or making picks. Since they couldn't get onto them and everyone of us had trouble getting out of [[Vel'koz]]'s ults late game when he was sporting a bunch of slows we just couldn't win team fights and [[Teemo]] couldn't split agains the [[Riven]]. I screwed up several plays by being overly aggressive in spots and also by splitting from my main team when we had Baron I was trying to stay between [[Twisted Fate]] and the other 3 to try and catch [[Graves]] out but in retrospect we didn't quite have the wards for it and our team got engaged on. That was probably out chance to win the game, but not sure because we had real trouble sieging against them without splitting them up. In retrospect I should have gotten a [[Guardian Angel]] as my third item and just been the sacrifice to get something going.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/7d3a98d5f2810776f37f9c6c95679e80.jpg width=900] [br] [[Darius]] wrecked [[Camille]] and continued pressing his lead without being too greedy in most cases. Teamed up with [[Bard]] for a gank in Bot lane. One death was an overstay taking their Mid base turret. My other two teammates got out but I did not. It was not quite the right thing to do considering the death timers, but it was one those by seconds things.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/4540664caf54215202a457d16b77d3ab.jpg width=900] [br] One of those games where I was high up in the pick order and everyone is all showing AD so I pick [[Taliyah]] and then everyone picks AP. My team made so many mechanical and map awareness mistakes in the early game it is a wonder that the enemy team didn't roll us up by twenty minutes. They didn't. We managed to wipe them and get Baron. Good call on I think Zed's part by the way. I didn't think about us having a [[Cassiopeia]]. Anyway, out Cass DCd after we got the 2nd Baron and it was done. Had to tell my team to cut the chatter in chat. They did for quite some time, but once Cass DCd, AFKd or whatever they were back at it. It would have been nice to have a tank somewhere to front line but that would have given [[Trundle]] stats to steal with his ultimate, so. I did think my team did a pretty good job of working around the Talon. He generally wasn't instant nuking everyone left and right, which I've seen happen in quite a few games he is in.[/quote]
