Journey To Plat Elo

[quote=H4xDefender]After practicing, duoing, and just sitting down and discussing the game with countless Plat/High elo players and hours spent watching streams, I think im ready to go for platinum, although it'll probably take me months because I get exhausted dealing with idiots and only play about 4-5 ranked games per day on average. I'll be solo queueing most of these, I might duo some if people are interested. Starting Elo 1610 Goals: 1700 ELO 1800 ELO 1900 ELO 2000 ELO Game One: Get queued as last pick and initally get jungle, but our team first picks malphite and wants to jungle after the other team picks double AP so I pick jax and go top. We get an early invade off and malphite steals nautilus' blue and we kill janna as well. They send zilean mid and ryze top and after a dive with malphite at level 6~ish we pick up second blood and I snowball the lane hard from there. Malphite warded for me which was nice so I could shove the creeps to tower and ryze used all of his mana lasthitting because he was purple side and couldn't get any blues. I kill ryze 3-4 times in lane before roaming and picking up a ton more kills. They surrender at 24 minutes ish with my score 11-0-3. Outcome: Victory New Elo: 1622 (+12) P.S. I have replays for all my games because I go back and watch the ones I lose when I have time later on, if you want any I'll post them.[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]Game Two: Queued as second pick and initially pick Lee Sin for jungle, but end up going top. Game goes really bad early as we were down something like 2-15, but our vayne afk farms bot for like 15 minutes and tristana/talon start throwing hardcore. Malphite cant get a good ult off while Morgana gets good ults most fights. I peel for vayne/kill trist and we come out even in a few fights until amumu q steals baron and we win the ensuing fight. Game starts snowballing and we end up winning after one last fight where we catch malphite. Final score 7-2-18. Outcome: Victory New Elo: 1634 (+12)[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]Game Three: Queued as first pick, standard bans go out, pick Jax for top lane up against Jarvan. Jarvan gets firstblood off an invade and picks up a red pot (not hp pot a fking red pot) and a ward as well some extra potions. Lane starts badly because he has a red pot and I die twice off orianna + hecarim ganks when TF ports bot. Hecarim goes on to camp me hardcore but I ward jump escape out of the rest of his attempts and bot lane ends up winning hard because of the lack of jungle pressure and carry the game. We ace them in a fight pick up nashor and force a surrender. Final score 3-4-6 Outcome: Victory New Elo: 1645 (+11) New top elo yay[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]Game Four: Queued as first pick again, once again standard bans, take lee sin for jungle, every lane wins on its own and I snowball every lane a bit extra, 20 minute surrender really easy game. Final score 6-0-8. Outcome: Victory New Elo: 1656 (+11)[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender][quote=DuffTime] Cheers and grats on your ups :D [/quote] Thanks. Game Five: Well where to start. Our bot lane both blew flashes off an invade that gave morg first blood and snowballed mid lane, and bot lost on its own because it didn't make it to lane until 2:20ish and down 2 summoners. Nocturne camped top after some early ganks bot I only died once because my jungler (nunu) baited me into fighting a 2v2 vs noc/rumble, and then I died off two 5 man ganks top because I had been dominating rumble. Taric roamed really early with oracles as well as noc because of how bad bot lane lost. Our mid lane was swain and he was good but morg just roamed and became too much for him to handle. I basically /ignored my bot lane + jungle and just afk pushed top and bot. I got 4 towers in exchange for 1 mid tower and baron, and nearly single handedly won us some team fights, but the one fight I couldn't get to graves we got decimated and lost. Final score 7-5-2. Outcome: Defeat New Elo: 1645 (-11)[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]Game Six: Just Wow. 1700 Elo duo with 1400 (who claimed to be a 1900 smurf) threw the game for us. First picked morg and went 1-11. I started the game 7-0 as Lee Sin and top was winning on its own as well, but Morg couldn't handle TF at all and got wrecked which led to other lanes dying to TF as well. A 15-3ish advantage got thrown away and we lost. Final score 8-5-3. Outcome: Defeat New Elo: 1631 (-14)[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]Game Seven: Played Singed top, lane phase overall teamwise went even for the most part. Nautilus and kennen wrecked us in teamfights, and nautilus wrecked me in lane as well. Our AD got jumped on instantly in fights and our Mundo jungle didn't really help much either. Ahri was alright but she just got cc'd to death in fights. I didn't have the damage to kill any carries after flinging them, and the game quickly snowballed downwards after a few fights. Final score 0-8-9 Outcome: Defeat New Elo: 1620 (-11)[/quote]

[quote=WarlordShen]Good luck. Your not doing too bad.[/quote]
