The return of SwizzNL (ranked journey)

[quote=SwizzNL]Hey everyone, Sure, there are a lot of topics about this but this one, I guess, is different. First something about my self: I'm SwizzNL, also known in real life as Dylan. I'm 19 years old and live in the Netherlands. About 1,5 years ago I started playing LoL (on EUW). Not immediately addicted, but over time I fell in love with the game. At this time now I have played about 650 normal games and won 372. My style of play is very calm. I am a supporter because I support my teammates by playing that role and give them faith if we are doing good or bad. I'm also not the one who is flaming/whining (except if someone is trolling). I also like dealing TONS OF DAMAGE and remain in the background. I can play all roles, but as I said, support is my best and I love playing AP mid and AD carry. My characters I play: - Support: [[Alistar]] and [[Janna]] - AD Carry: [[Tristana]], [[Vayne]], [[Ashe]] and [[Sivir]] - AP Carry: [[Malzahar]], [[Orianna]] and [[Ryze]] - Solo Top: [[Teemo]], [[Olaf]] and [[Cho'Gath]] - Jungle: [[Malphite]] (Possible) bans I do if I'm first pick: [[Darius]], [[Shen]], [[Morgana]], [[Malphite]], [[Amumu]] and [[Blitzcrank]] For my mastery pages/rune pages I refer you to: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/euw/19364480 Current ELO: 805 Reasonable Goal: 1000 (this looks like a milestone to me for now)[/quote]

[quote=SwizzNL][u]Game 1:[/u] Character: [[Ryze]] on mid lane. Current ELO: 740 New ELO: 753 [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/spvo5x.jpg[/IMG] Good game. Started a bit bad and was killed by the enemy [[Lux]] 2 times. Luckily my teammates ganked me and we took mid lane. After that, teamfights started and we dominated pretty well. After a successful Nashor take, we could destroy their Nexus and win the game.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]This game shows again that for solo queue the jungler is the best champion to carry a game. Someone like [[darius]] fits that perfectly.[/quote]

[quote=SwizzNL]Ye NicknameMy, it's pretty clear to me now :P This [[Amumu]] was pretty awesome: good timings of ultimate and ganking. He carried us in the teamfights.[/quote]

[quote=SwizzNL][u]Game 2[/u] Character: [[Ryze]] in mid-lane. Current ELO: 753 New ELO: 765 [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/wqrk0y.jpg[/IMG] Started again pretty bad. The enemy [[Ahri]] zoned me pretty well but I could avoid the damage of her. Just went straightly for [[Banshee's Veil]] to counter her damage because she got some kills in other lanes. It looked all in all pretty bad for our team. Their [[Singed]] was incredibly fed, but luckily we got to destroy 3 members of them in a little teamfight and we got Nashor after that. Pushing started and in the end we won the match.[/quote]

[quote=SwizzNL][u]Game 3:[/u] Character: [[Janna]] as support. Current ELO: 765 New ELO: 752 [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/106zwr8.jpg[/IMG] This game was a mess from the start. [[Nautilus]] was completely dominated at top lane vs a [[Riven]]. [[Xin Zhao]] was (I don't say that very soon) a really bad jungler. In 10 minutes we had 0 ganks at bottom even when the enemies pushed as hell and ganks were quite easy to do. All in all bad game, don't want to think about it anymore.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Just out of interest, what do you think your elo should be? Is 1000 your 'true' elo or do you feel like it's lower/higher?[/quote]

[quote=SwizzNL]Well, based on the experience I have in LoL and the experience in playing ranked games, I think around 1000 (that's also my milestone) but the problem in this ELO is that there is always 1 troller/leaver/AFK'er in my team and I can't always carry the game then. I support my teammates by saying things like: "Go on, you are doing great" and that kind of stuff but it's not always helping. 1000 is my finish point then and with the experience I gained then I hope I can climb further.[/quote]

[quote=animorte]Once you start rising, don't stop. Above all, have fun.[/quote]

[quote=SwizzNL]@animorte, that's the spirit :)[/quote]
