VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/645c48f91e021dc16fa5dc97534eb887.jpg width=900] [br] So why did I give up on [[Hecarim]] for a while? Honestly like running [[Ignite]] though it took some time getting used to doing so. Sometimes I seems to have trouble getting my [[Smite]] off on a target, so if I'm running [[Ignite]] the downside is that I [[Ignite]] them instead. Was sad when [[Warwick]] managed to kill my [[Caitlyn]] through [[Smite]] and [[Ignite]]. I mean I killed him for his trouble, but I was little miffed that Cait didn't survive his ult. I don't know why you have some games were your laners ping MIAs and your other laners play respectfully of the MIA and then other games they don't. This game [[Fizz]] kept the river warded and any time the [[Akali]] tried to get anything done outside of lane we sniffed it out and the other laners paid attention.[/quote]

[[Fizz]] tried to all-in the [[Lux]] around level 3 and died for his trouble. She pretty much owned him from then on out with a little support from [[Lee Sin]]. [[Mordekaiser]] was on rinse and repeat for dying to [[Renekton]] and Bot lane got stomped as well. I got a couple of kills in Bot, but it the second was a trade kill as I couldn't quite kill the [[Kai'sa]]. [[Lucian]] was alive for that but he was pretty low and wanting to pick up farm so I don't entirely blame him for not wanting to get himself killed, though I think with one auto from him we win that.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth]And dodge due to a Top main in the ADC role that was on a 3 game losing streak and not showing any games of [[Lucian]]. Dude is titled and needs to take a break.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/92942415aba4b2ced304a61a6f1be360.jpg width=900] [br] It is possible that is the first ever ranked game I've won on [[Elise]]. I like the champion and do play her, but she is one of those champs I can sometimes get fed on but not close out the game before she falls off too hard, which is why I don't normally play her in ranked. But we needed some AP with some CC so she was about the only thing that came to mind with hard crowd control aside from [[Gragas]] and my Gragas is so hit or miss that I've kind of stopped playing him. Anyway, solid laners, with Illaoi in Mid creating a lot of pressure and actually dealing quite well with the [[Xerath]]. Top was also winning, so I camped for Bot lane since it was a blood bath down there with [[Kayn]] camping his laners. We eventually won out. Incidentally camping a [[Yuumi]] lane is not a bad idea as she can make a lot of things happen between her slow from her Q and her ultimate, while also keeping you topped on health. Outside of this game I learned that [[Poppy]]'s W, [[Steadfast Presence]], will not stop [[Kayn]]'s ultimate.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/8a6f5e29364dba109f1d671a5146c678.jpg width=900] [br] Never really developed any synergy with my team. The [[Talon]] shrekked [[Zed]] and then was so annoying the rest of the game that my team kept chasing him around instead of pushing lanes out and warding. We got Baron and then tried to play like we were ahead, which we weren't. We got Baron off a lucky steal by [[Jhin]] with his ultimate. We got wiped losing all our Baron buffs we then ran around trying to keep Talon from destroying out base one turret at at time.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/b5164797abd8e1a8087a9a48a1535359.jpg width=900] [br] I have got to figure out how to read team comps better. Or something. [[Akali]] got shit on by [[Lux]]. Bot lane was cowering under their turret the entire game. [[Nasus]] ended up getting a lead on the [[Darius]] by Darius going for a greedy tower dive. And then me coming up and helping Nasus kill him twice. But Nasus, so not really able to generate a whole lot of pressure. Did pick a bad fight after they got Dragon. That was me getting frustrated with the inability of your team to do anything.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/f57bd6cccf096263d2bccbfa4d5f2200.jpg width=900] [br] Okay, going back to a mainstay from last season and trying a different philosophy on jungling based around a video I watched by Veteran. The logic is this. Do more faster. Always look for something else to do on the map before farming your own jungle. You need your first clear for levels, but after that kill the enemy jungler. Kill their laners. Then farm the enemy jungle since they are so far behind they can't contest what you want to do. Really you should only be doing a camp if it will give you a level up or item spike. And unspent gold equals no go lead. Usually item components run somwhere around 875-1300 gold, [[Pickaxe]] or [[BF Sword]] territory. So when you have that amount go back and spend it. Better yet, know your champion well enough that you know exactly how much every component you want costs and back when you have the right amount. Currently banning [[Jax]] since he outscales and deals well with auto attackers. Might change that as I go through this process, but to some extent if you are ahead of the play by being proactive rather than reactive it doesn't matter what the enemy champions can do if they aren't there in time. Oh, and camp Mid lane, especially if it is an assassin so they can help your murder everyone else on the map. After that get your hyper carries fed (stuff like [[Fiora]]], [[Tryndamere]], and [[Jax]], or if that hypercarry is in Bot lane then go there instead of Top, especially if that helps unlike a support that is good at roaming).[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/ea63f354e59ae2fe259e95f7a02ae373.jpg width=900] [br] [[Karma]] was DCd for like the first seven minutes of the game, but we did not get the option to remake. No idea why not. I did get a relatively early kill in Mid lane, but if you get penalized for making a play that sucks [family friendly forum]. We needed [[Aatrox]] not to lose to have a chance. He lost. Otherwise I would have kept killing [[Swain]] on rinse and repeat since he was an easy lock down with [[Ryze]]. I don't want to over analyze this one. I wasn't as proactive as I would have liked to have been at certain points but that was because Bot and Top were in disarray so I felt like I would be risking more than I would be gaining by trying to make a play.[/quote]

Dodged this one then realized after the fact that you couldn't be level 14 and play ranked. Any other sites to you to look up the players on your team?[/quote]

Any other sites to you to look up the players on your team?[/quote] I'd recommend using Porofessor.gg, just go in there, search your name when you're in a game and you can get the stats and everything for your team + enemy team. You can also copy the whole chat and paste it inside of the search bar (from the game lobby before the game starts) and you'll be able to see what rank they are or if they are autofilled etc. in case you want to dodge. You can also use it to directly go to your own summoner profile if you want that as well, pretty good tool for games in my opinion, I always use it. x)[/quote]
