Report
Well, I've been awake a little over two hours and since this is my day off from classes smack dab in the middle of the week and I know Thursday I'll be in class all day and at the bar 'til 12:30 or so, so I've got to take advantage of it. Especially with how beat I'm going to be Friday. Now me? I'm level twenty and even if I were thirty would not consider myself fit for ranked gaming.
I tend to do **** most of the time and break even when I have a good team.
The exceptions to this rule are:
A. On occasion it's like I'm a man possessed when I play mid. These occasions are few and far between. I had one particularly fun game playing Cait against an Anivia. Ah man, those are the days.
B. When my ex and I lane together and we're both on our game. I know she has to scramble to save my *** sometimes, but she really is a good support. I just don't understand how anyone can enjoy doing support despite the fact that I offer to play support for her all the time. I discovered that playing as ADC Graves with her rocking a support Morgana pretty much grantees if not domination then at least a very good shot at victory. I think that pairing won us 5/7 games duo queued. Which for us is very very good. Mind you, she's still far better than I, especially at mid which is becoming my preferred role. (I just bow out to my better on the occasions she wants it, with no regret.)
So thus far she and I have played two games today and lost both. The first time she was mid while I was on top with a Veigar who sort of... doesn't know how to not overextend. :\ We got steamrolled. The next game she was supporting a Missfortune on bot while I AP Ezreal'd middle. Heim and I were stuck trading blows til we both reached eight and I took a risk to go off and finally buy something besides starting gear.
Suffice it to say, Heim had me on my heels most of the time but by the time I got back in lane the mid-game tides were turning until Missfortune and a top started wandering. Next thing I knew Teemo and Heimerdinger were plowing down middle lane and, my friends, that's all she wrote. Within two minutes of MF wandering off lane all three lanes had lost a turret. We regrouped and tried our best, even had a couple decent teamfights but it quickly became obvious they were just too rich. Teamwork deteriorated and now here we are.
It's too bad, really... that game had so much potential.
I'm diving back into the fray, but it's not looking good for me today.

BTW, if your other lanes get steamrolled so hard, consider sight wards for safety. These guys saved my life a countless number of times.
