[quote=Mooninites]game 4 - how does [[janna]] lose to [[leona]]????[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Game 1: People need to be aware that Teemo shrooms will be everywhere towards later parts of the game and Oracles...While expensive may have prevented you guys from losing. Granted you guys were way out front, and we literally had 2 come back moments. 1. Was the Baron steal (due to Blydden being out smited) 2. Was the Noxious trap ambush which resulted in an ace+PTW (Push to win) I did poorly in every game I played except the Nocturne one. I generally get down on myself and start playing poorly, which is on me. Game 4: Honestly this was merely us getting a win in mid and bot lane. The jungle was also slightly tilted in our favor if only due to the fact I farmed whenever I could and acquired kills/ assists off of clean ups rather than straight up ganks. Moon did a good job split pushing, and we ignored it which lead to his lane pushing to our base. The counter to his split push was that we grouped as 5 and were forcing fights, each one ending in our favor (i believe) which then lead to the surrender and our win. I probably could have applied pressure better and tried to gank top or even mid, but in the end mid was winning, bot was winning, and top was ignorable. I feel Arcana should have focused more on farming, or pressuring bot lane effectively. As well running Ignite is strong for early game, but it didn't snowball (no pun intended) you as effectively as it would have if you were someone like Shaco who thrives off of early kills and has the burst to utilize it. If anything I would have recommended Flash or Exhaust in tandem with Smite, your early success wouldn't have been as strong (necessarily) but you'd have scaled better into mid/late game. As well your itemization to me could have been better. Rushing Banshee's Veil protects you somewhat for your ultimate, but Aegis or one of the new jungle items would have given you much more durability. TL;DR-Exhaust over Ignite on Nunu, Farm your jungle more effectively, itemize better.[/quote]

[quote=Psychofrench]After game 2, I swore I would never show up for an inhouse ever again...But now, all I want is to participate again and show that I am much better than that. That Baron smite in game one was annoying. I could see him waiting, and I was actually considering using my Twisted advance, but I realized that I didn't know where the rest of his team was, so I just tossed a sapling instead, haha.[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]Don't worry about it so much psychofrench, you were vs. some really good players and everyone has bad games. I also tried to stun Xai with my E on Elise since I saw him waiting for baron but I guess I missed or was too late. Moon, victory is the reward for the brave![/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Victory is the reward for people who pull stuff completely out of their ass....Case in point, Game #1. It was completely unintentional for that to occur. It just happened that Blydden ran across that shroom (I did say I'd make him pay for his level 2 gank). Boom all of a sudden we chase you all down and then win. It's not like I said "Muwhahahahaha THIS shroom will win the game" when I placed it XD.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden][quote=Mooninites] game 4 - how does [[janna]] lose to [[leona]]???? [/quote] I helped loosing. But honestly his peel was rather bad, i don't think he used w defensively even once and his Q's were way too late. I guess it was my fault for asking for a underplayed hard to play support from a random. His positioning in lane made it clear right from square one he was used to playing a melee support. I was way too reliant on his peel to poke the ezreal, but i should've stopped trying after getting caught the first time. I also need to learn to cs with delay since i lost like 1/4 of every cs QQ[/quote]

[[Janna]] is one of the hardest counters to [[leona]] so obviously he totally played it wrong. Really [[leona]] should have never been able to engage.[/quote]

[quote=Arcana3]Nah Ignite op Jeffy :P should ask wrath the one game i was nunu jungle in season 2... Oh the ganks and the plays <3 I haven't jungled nunu since season 2, wasn't the best, and yes rushing banshee was sorrta a last resort, i usually build RoA, Merc, Sunfire or Banshee, etc etc. I need to find a new build for nunu since season 3, but in season 2, my jungle nunu was strong, need to find a new way to fix up my jungle with him now.[/quote]

[quote=Hasdrubal]When is the next game taking place?[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]The new inhouse signup threads are up now! Look for the stickied threads for games that haven't happened yet. :)[/quote]
