[quote=koksei]no.. [[galio]] doesn't rape cassio.. same goes the otherway round BUT cassio is more useful for teams in general and can keep galio at bay she is one of those mid champs that's good against him[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]@ Mowen: I won't pick him against [[Cassiopeia]], as I mentioned earlier [[Ziggs]] can deal with her. I don't want to go into ranked, have an enemy pick [[Leblanc]] or [[Kassadin]] and then end up with not having anything to pick against that, however. That's why I need [[Galio]] (not saying those are the only matchups I'd ever pick him for though, I think he's pretty strong in general). I have a runepage with magic pen marks, flat mana regen seals (after the first few levels I build [[Chalice of Harmony]]) and flat mres glyphs and quints for him. If you have a different pick to suggest against Kass or LB, let me know, but I don't think [[Ahri]], [[Ziggs]], [[Morgana]] or [[Zyra]] would do well. @ others: I disagree with [[Galio]] "raping the shit out off" [[Cassiopeia]]. Yes, his [[Bulwark]] works great against her, but if she plays aggressively early, she can most definitely abuse the fact that he's a melee champ and get ahead in cs. A [[Galio]] lane has low kill potential. If she outfarms him early then keeps it up, she has won the lane. I think he does well against her, but can lose (on cs) quite easily. Edit: testing [[Skarner]]s jungle, might add him to my roster soon[sup]TM[/sup] Edit2: added[/quote]

Our last two picks wanted to premade bot though so I decided against it and went [[Zyra]] mid instead, facing [[Swain]]. [[Swain]] played quite aggressive early trying to snare me and then apply DoTs, but most of the trades ended up even or in my favour, especially since he took way more minion damage than me in the process. Bottom lane picked up first blood as [[Alistar]] went for an early gank after getting blue. Unfortunately [[Janna]] got the kill. In top lane [[Nidalee]] and [[Lee Sin]] were having an even lane until they finally fought each other and [[Nidalee]] won and got away with low hp, at which point Lee started QQing on all chat. After [[Nidalee]] picked up another kill during an [[Alistar]] gank (~3 minutes later) and again got away with low health, [[Lee Sin]] concluded our [[Nidalee]] should go enter the lottery because she would win it for sure. In mid lane, meanwhile, I got [[Swain]] low enough for [[Alistar]] to come in and pick up a kill, after which he decided to invade their jungle and chase [[Malphite]] despite me telling him I was oom. Eventually (once the enemy bot lane came and [[Swain]] was back), I had just enough mana to save [[Alistar]] with [[Grasping Roots]] but our bot lane followed and - for some reason - decided to fight 2v4 and [[Janna]] got killed, giving [[Swain]] a free kill. After that the lane was pretty passive again, until we both got blue buff and [[Alistar]] decided to gank and we killed [[Swain]] together. After he had lost blue, I made the mistake of underestimating him though and when he came back with full mana and fought me, he actually came out on top and got blue back :c After that I decided not to engage on him until I poked him down more and the lane went well. Around the 15 minute mark the game shifted from a laning phase to a game in which we had all sorts of skirmishes in the jungle and the game was finally decided when I picked up 2 kills near Baron (on [[Taric]] and [[Lee Sin]]) with the help of [[Nidalee]] and got away with low health (which made [[Lee Sin]] quite mad again, lol), and [[Sivir]] started snowballing at the same time. We picked up dragon after winning a couple of these fights and were looking to go into more teamfights as we were way ahead, but the enemy team surrendered at 20.

First blood was picked up on [[Leona]] as she entered our jungle to try and protect blue, finding that there were 4/5 enemies there and they picked up 1 kill + 3 assists. This allowed [[Graves]] to get 2 extra health potions as which point it was clear to me we weren't gonna get him out of lane anytime soon. Bot lane started even with me pulling ahead in cs, though [[Leona]]'s aggressive playstyle didn't really work for us as [[Graves]]' full burst combo still outdamages [[Ezreal]]'s combo and [[Sona]] was dealing some nasty damage too. Our jungle [[Skarner]] was getting some work done top as [[Irelia]] killed [[Shen]] during a gank and [[Skarner]] himself then picked up a kill mid on [[Lux]]. Neither lane really pushed their advantage though as [[Fizz]] was continuously forced back by the pushing [[Lux]] and fell behind on cs whereas [[Irelia]] was being outfarmed for no good reason. Meanwhile in bot lane our peaceful farmfest was being interrupted by gank attempts from [[Lee Sin]], [[Fizz]] and [[Skarner]], which worked out largely in their favour because of [[Shen]]'s ultimate saving whoever was low while we died. [[Leona]] still decided to go aggressive after we died once and we eventually had a very close fight in which [[Graves]] got a double kill, at which point the lane was definitely in their favour despite me still outfarming him at that point. Our team tried to help us out as [[Fizz]] had picked up some kills and was getting quite strong, but everytime someone came to gank [[Lee Sin]], [[Lux]] or [[Shen]] would always be around and they were just always grouped up way better than us. This in combination with some stupid decision making by [[Fizz]] especially (who felt the need to go for a kill in the most absurd ways) made them the stronger team and they eventually snowballed to a point where it became impossible for us to win a fight. Meanwhile I was trying to keep my farm up the entire game as [[Graves]] was slowly catching up, but scumbag [[Irelia]] and [[Skarner]] would farm huge waves of minions in front of my nose because they probably thought I wasn't worth it given the fact I was 0/2. Since I wasn't getting any kills (or even assists) and had a hard time farming, I just sat there with my 25 minute Triforce and wasn't dealing enough damage for our team. I'm pretty sure I should've gone for other items looking back at it, but when I started building it we were still doing reasonably well and there was no reason to assume things would go downhill like that :c [color=red][b]ELO:[/b][/color] 1443 ----- 0-3 in ranked with [[Ezreal]] despite having lots of success with him in normals every time I play him... >.>[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][center][color=red][h2]Game 22[/h2][/color][/center] [center]Solo Queue[/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/LnCmp.jpg][/center] [center][b][h2][color=red][url=http://www.leaguereplays.com/replays/match/1998929/]REPLAY[/url][/color][/h2][/b][/center] In this game I was lastpick and I decided to play support [[Alistar]] because the enemy bot lane had picked up [[Blitzcrank]] and I feel he works well against him. Meanwhile both top and mid got picked early for us ([[Anivia]]/[[Darius]]) which lead to them counterpicking with [[Kassadin]]/[[Kayle]] and our [[Darius]] jungling instead, while top picked [[Nasus]] (which surprised me a bit, but ok). The game started off badly as [[Graves]] didn't connect until I was level 3 in bot lane and we were immediately behind in terms of level and cs. [[Blitzcrank]] had also disturbed [[Darius]] tremendously while he was trying to get blue by pulling him, pulling the blue, using [[Exhaust]], pretty much everything he had (really annoying lol). Mid lane went well with [[Anivia]] killing [[Kassadin]] multiple times (and often getting him low too), while top fed [[Kayle]] first blood after about a minute and had trouble from then on. Our jungle [[Darius]] was unfortunately not able to gank a lot whereas [[maokai]] helped out top a lot, snowballing [[Kayle]]'s advantage in that lane. In bot lane, [[Blitzcrank]] was doing a good job at being aggressive and trying to zone us, though I could protect [[Graves]] from him quite well. When [[Darius]] was near dragon and [[Blitzcrank]] walked towards the river to ward, I followed him only to find [[Darius]] had turned around and I was getting bursted by [[Ezreal]] + [[Blitzcrank]], pretty much giving them a free kill. Then [[Darius]] walked bot and said "I'M HERE, GO GO GO!" which just made me facepalm even harder. Although we still weren't in real trouble bot lane, we soon would be as [[Kassadin]] and [[Maokai]] made a habit of ganking us and [[Ezreal]] picked up some kills in jungle fights too, getting him heavily fed and giving their team a clear advantage. The teamfights were close until the end because our composition was just a lot stronger late game, but several teammates ([[Darius]] and [[graves]] in particular) started flaming or whining about the fact it was lost. We had a couple of good fights and a Baron pickup to raise our morale, but two of us (myself included) got killed immediately after we got it so it wasn't a complete turnaround. After that first Baron, a lot of fights were being initiated by someone getting pulled by [[Blitzcrank]], which usually resulted in a lost fight for us. Though most fights were still pretty close, [[Ezreal]]'s snowball really got out of hand and my teammates had trouble reaching him. Once he got [[Guardian Angel]] it became especially hard to kill him. As they went for the second Baron near the end of the game, we went for a desperate steal with [[Darius]] [[Flash]]ing in to [[Smite]] it and he managed to steal it, but because 2 or 3 of us died and they had already got 1 or 2 inhibitors they pushed for the win.

[quote=Wayne3100][center][color=red][h2]Game 23[/h2][/color][/center] [center]Solo Queue[/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/DZu7S.jpg][/center] This game I wanted to firstpick [[Zyra]] but instead someone asked me to pick [[Morgana]], which I did. I then swapped for [[Tristana]] bot (the guy was a smurf who didn't have much choice in terms of picks) and laned with a [[Nidalee]] because of last second derpings in champ select (two players swapping to a top laner at the last second because they had [[Janna]]/[[Caitlyn]] picked but we already had Trist). The lane vs [[Ezreal]] / [[Soraka]] started off really aggressively for us and we were causing them trouble, but I missed a lot of cs for no good reason (I really shouldn't play champs I haven't played in a while, zzzz) so we didn't get a big advantage from it. Then [[Amumu]] reconnected (because apparently he hadn't even been there the first couple of minutes) and jungled a bit and decided to dive us bot at level 3. Even though I got a kill on him, [[Ezreal]] got a double kill in what was the easiest dive I've ever seen that early in a game. Top lane gave first blood to [[Rengar]] and was also getting outfarmed, while mid was doing a good job against [[Zyra]] early on, picking up some kills. We asked our teammates to help us out bot and got a couple of good ganks in which we killed [[Soraka]] and one where I even got a double kill after [[Ezreal]] killed our [[Nidalee]], which got me fed despite my lack of cs. Both mid laners meanwhile were just trading kills with each other. The game was decided by the teamfighting and of course it was their team who was grouped up and our team who got caught. The [[Amumu]] + [[Zyra]] ultimate really destroyed as she snowballed out of control and [[Ezreal]] was snowballing too and hard for us to reach. Although our late game should've been incredibly strong, they were simply too strong as they won fights easily, we barely ever had a 5v5 fight to begin with and they eventually picked up Baron and pushed mid for the win. [color=red][b]ELO:[/b][/color] 1411 ----- Worst game out of all 3 for me despite getting fed, I lost so much cs that I shouldn't have (part of it was also simply getting pushed back after Ez got the double kill because they were significantly stronger at that point, but still). Demotivated, not playing for now.[/quote]
