Wintermond in Season 3: Ranked soloq and Stuff

I've played several games as jungle Jax and every game was an absolute carnage. His early ganks paired with his damage are brutal and his jungle is not only safe but also very fast. I don't think I need to elaborate on the jungling and ganking part, so I'll skip right to the game-changing moment in that game. At 22 minutes, I told Fiora to come with me and try to do Baron as our bot lane got heavily assualted by the enemy team and three of our brave comrades gave their lives to the imperialistic intruders. The Baron was surprisingly easy, but Fiora and Jax have a lot of damage and wriggles really wrecks Baron this early in the game. So we got baron while they got a tower. Fair trade. From then on the game was always in our favour. I was very fed and wrecked their carries, and Kennen+Fiora unleashed a hurricane of doom on the enemies. Pretty easy game imo. Gauntlet is broken on Jax, try it.[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]And just for the record, the Riven game: [img]http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/9477/14012013riven.jpg[/img] I won't write a full post for it again, though. ._.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]"I usually play [[Riven]] mid now since she's able to win almost every matchup and is able to roam very effectively from mid too" "I went for a lot of armor this game combined with my damage items because they had a full AD team" "I always start with [[Long Sword]] + 2 pots mid cuz...." iunno that's all I remember you said before :D[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]You're a bro, Wayne. :3[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]So ya, just played a Riven game again, but the stats screen didn't show up, so I don't have a screenshot. 15/7/12, I was up against Fiddle mid. Really easy matchup, even though the Fiddle player was extremely good, which should also lead to the loss in that game. We steamrolled their team in the first 20 minutes, but then Fiddle got his Zhonyas and we just straight up lost all teamfights because your average soloq team is not able to spread out and not stay close for a good Fid ult. We also lacked a lot in the damage department (We had a Lee, Cho, Nunu, Cait and Riven) because Lee and Cho didn't really build for dmg and Cait was busy running away(Never run too much as an ad carry). Pretty disapointing lose, because I feel like I did few things wrong, and the positioning of my team was just too bad to really carry something. But bad games happen and one can just learn from those. The one thing I learned in this match is to always maintain confidence, because I really felt inconfident in fights, seemingly unable to do anything as fiddle wrecks my team, but maybe a bit more confidence would've helped.[/quote]

[quote=xIchi]''Never force yourself to play'' - I can remember myself doing sth similar, semidrunken and out of practice Rankeds AND only Fiora. I actually won pretty much but well.. I lost more afterwards xD[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Forcing yourself to play CAN be a good thing though, for example when you are too scared to actually play ranked games. Forcing yourself is the best way to start playing ranked when you are too scared, like a jump in the cold water.[/quote]

[quote=xIchi]Yeah if it is that way. But not if you certainly know you are out of practice :P. I mean even now I try to do at least one Ranked game per day, tho my days are filled with reallife stuff somehow... screw 2013 lol[/quote]
