Dusk's Glorious Journey through the world of...

[quote=DuskToGlory]Recently I have decided to jump into the thick of it, and by it, I mean Ranked. My first ranked game was when I first hit 30, before I knew that was well... a bad idea. Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, I got stomped, hard. Now I'm back as a more experienced, more versatile player, and it's about time I give it another try. Since I have a screenshot for it and the match is fresh in my mind, I'll start with GAME 3: Victory BANS: [[shen]],[[morganna]],[[alistar]],[[kassadin]],[[darius]] [IMG]http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k513/GloryMXE7/Rankedgame3.png[/IMG] Summery: One person wants to ban [[karthus]]^^, but majority rules, and [[alistar]] is banned instead. I pick [[malphite]] as jungler, but then our last pick doesn't want to support, I go bot instead, the nice guy that I am. [[teemo]] is afk the entire match, he only died because [[draven]] ulted their base. I'm zoneing [[garen]] bot really well, then I end up getting first blood. The game is pretty even at that point, But, slowly the enemy pulls ahead, as [[udyr]] is feeding, and [[karthus]] is getting fed. [[riven]] leaves the game, and we get a tower advantage, but [[karthus]] is pretty fed by now, and we don't get MR until too late. As it is a 5v3, we do start to pull ahead tower wise, but the kill and gold gap continues to increase. We'd push a little farther in, then they'd demolish all but one of us. they can't take advantage of that because they were trapped inside their base defending, and eventually we take the nexus.[/quote]

[quote=DuskToGlory][quote=Yukimaru] Oh gawd, another one of these!...nah, u can do it bro, good luck. And Garen bot? wtf [/quote] hahaha, thanks. I'm guessing at this point not everyone is a flexible as me when it comes to roles[/quote]

[quote=Crows foot]If they have Karthus and is 4y,win before 10 mins so you don't get any ugly surprises. Could have been Draven going afk and not riven ;p[/quote]

[quote=DuskToGlory]Ok now I'm pissed at myself and other people Game 3 -Defeat Bans: [[heimerdinger]], [[darius]], [[shen]], [[morgana]], [[karthus]], [[shaco]] [IMG]http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k513/GloryMXE7/rankedgame4.png[/IMG] Summery: I finally get a chance at going top, naturally I go [[pantheon]] as he is my favorite champ and I rarely lose with him. we invade and take their red, then head to lanes. I lag out and end up giving first blood to [[olaf]], I can't seem to recover, and the others are blaming everything on me for feeding olaf, ofc this doesn't help as I get more flustered and proceed to make more mistakes. everyone gives up, blames me, then we surrender. I finally get to play what I want, and then I fuck it up.[/quote]

[quote=Arkharan]I know this feeling, I'm the same as soon as I start getting blammed for absolutely no reason I start playing 5x worst even if I was doing good or not. >_>[/quote]

[quote=The LZ][quote=Yukimaru] Oh gawd, another one of these! [/quote] Exactly my thought. Seems popular. Maybe I should Make my own too, just to troll. Anyhow, good luck. Malphite rocks. Pun intended.[/quote]

[quote=Babit]protip - stop reading the in game chat. It's nothing but bad news.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Wow, that Swain got fed :/ Good luck with your future games![/quote]

[quote=DuskToGlory]OK, so I'm an idiot and forgot to take screens of my next two games. [IMG]http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k513/GloryMXE7/rankedgames56.png[/IMG] Game 5: Defeat Bans: I don't remember, but there were some strange bans Summary: Lane phase went sub-par, [[ahri]] couldn't shut their [[karthus]] down early, [[warwick]] kept over extending top lane then getting ganked by [[diana]], me and [[volibear]] had little to no coordination, we couldn't do anything without [[olaf]]'s ganks. when it came down to the teamfight stage, it was a trainwreak,. people were getting caught out of position, [[ezreal]] and [[karthus]] got fed, our team was basically all over the place. it kind of just fell apart. Game 6: Victory Bans: I don't remember but they were pretty basic bans Summary: Immediately Our jungler [[nautilus]](apparently he was smurfing to raise someone elses elo) took charge, he strongly suggested we all bring good cc, which we did. [[garen]] shut down [[mordekaiser]] top, [[teemo]] was holding his own against [[annie]] mid. [[varus]] was strong and aggressive making my job as support [[leona]] quite easy, and with great ganks by [[nautilus]] we easily beat [[ezreal]] and [[xerath]] bot lane. we grabbed Dragon often. Overall our team was really coordinated, there were some times where we were not altogether but still did quite well. at the end we were able to storm their base easily to take the nexus. Current Elo: 1133 I'm thinking of getting lol replay so i don't have to do the summaries off the top of my head. My current elo goal is, at the end of 20 ranked games, is to have kept or improved on my current elo. Thanks for the support so far guys.[/quote]
