VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/2cd2e979341e1d59864e49cfc16135fc.jpg width=900] [br] Reported the [[Ahri]] as a Bot. Either that or the account was bought. No clue how to play the game. Just kept running up Mid and dying. Not quite sure the [[Yuumi]] knew how to play her champion either and the [[Yuumi]] + [[Dr. Mundo]] Bot lane apparently didn't work very well. Mundo did pick up some kills, but it didn't change the outcome of the game. Given that I had no lanes really winning, [[Udyr]] was free to do what he wanted. I think what pisses me off the most is that [[Udyr]] had a snowballs chance in hell to win that game with that build. Done with ranked for tonight.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][quote=Fruxo]I should link that Ahri my guide, it'd be useful >.>[/quote] XD. Please do! (for the sanity of their next jungler and other teammates) The [[Xerath]] admitted to being a decayed higher ELO player. But I watched some of what was going on and the [[Ahri]] kept coming back to lane after every death, getting too close to the Xerath and eating all his abilities and dying. This was on rinse and repeat. Die once. eh, not great. Die twice you itemize and play like a wimp and try to get carried. No excuse for feeding an enemy laner that much. Getting two games in a row where your lanes are turnips is fairly demoralizing as a jungler. And yes, I can get better. But holy heck there are some games I'd give my right mouse button for one lane that I can work with. I may still lose but at least you get to string together enough successes to make the game feel like it was worth the time.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth]I've learned you can't count on matchups playing out like they are supposed to until around high Gold and sometimes not even then. For instance in my [[Lux]] + [[Ezreal]] lane in my [[Nunu]] game got outpushed by [[Pyke]] + [[Caitlyn]] which really shouldn't happen (2 ranged vs 1 ranged and 1 melee). But the [[Lux]] is probably not a support main so they have no idea that they should be helping to shove the wave so they can push the enemy laners under their turret and then the Lux can take pot shots with her Q with [[Ezreal]] to follow up with W and Q.[/quote]

[quote=Janitsu][[Ahri]] into [[Xerath]] isn't really an easy matchup. [[Xerath]]'s early game and mid game power spikes are very scary, especially if he gets jungle pressure as well. He can also just freeze waves and force [[Ahri]] to use mana and CDs on the minion waves instead of roaming or pressuring for kills. :-)[/quote]

[quote=Fruxo]Well, I guess you're right about that indeed.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/d1a8ba633e21c4b83fa274aaacfef024.jpg width=900] [br] I actually won a game vs a [[Talon]]! I dread seeing one of those come up. If they are any good they run around the map murdering you and your team while getting away with it. Whole team played well even if our [[Ezreal]] did not know what [[Yuumi]] does. They figured out how to work together quickly. One of those games where practically every gank works out in your favor. Ahhhh. Got Rift Herald in time to get some plates, but didn't drop it in time to get some plates when I had the opportunity after I believe [[Tryndamere]] and [[Mordekaiser]] mutually killed each other with me arriving just a hair too late.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/15025523854fe620c05c3ea2974e35aa.jpg width=900] [br] Really messsy game. [[Illaoi]] got shit on by [[Neeko]] and then also tried to 1v5 their team a couple of times. Got Baron, Infernal was up so we got that. [[Master Yi]] ran down Mid and got our inhibitor. Should have just backed from Dragon rather than trying to cut [[Master Yi]] off with half out team in base. They ended up cathing us out and wiping us. GG[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/7d25f82a53d2b15a19b874dba5e06915.jpg width=900] [br] Damn I hate [[Vladimir]]. He is right up there with [[Yasuo]] as far as champions I despise playing against. Fortunately my team had confidence that we could win even after Vlad started picking up some kills. I [[Ignite]]d him a couple of times and he still lived through a helluva lot. Likely could have prevented [[Renekton]] from getting dove once, but I thought surely [[Warwick]] will have left by now, but he didn't. Ren traded one for one and I galloped in and Ignited and killed Volibear, so I guess overall it worked out.[/quote]
