Wayne3100's Quest for Platinum (Season 3)

[quote=Pølsemanden][quote=Embracing] elise is really easy to do okay with because of her easy laning phase (q spam + spider when engage) but other than that unless you're fed it takes some intuition and knowledge to know when to go in and when not to [/quote] The hardest thing for me is to manage her human/spider cds. I always tap out of spider form 1 sec too early.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]press E... wait, wrong form. karthus ulti is successfull.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Right, so I've been placed in Silver Division 1 with the title "Miss Fortune's Tornadoes". Since it's all about collecting those League Points now, I'll start posting screenshots from my match history rather than individual games as I try to rack up those points and get into my Best of 5 series for Gold.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]I think it'd be cool if you posted the post-game screens from any promotional series you play. :D[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Oh yes, that sounds like a good idea. Will do ;)[/quote]

In all 6 games displayed above, GMD played [[Thresh]] support and I picked AD. Unfortunately, things didn't go so well overall (as you can see). We made some mistakes in the first two games ([[Twitch]]/[[Corki]]) early, but lost mainly because of a lack of teamplay in the teamfighting stage. After two games in a row lost, I was afraid I'd get demoted, but luckily I was in the same spot as before, place 43 (out of 51) with 0 points. After winning the next game, I had 21 points, I then dropped back to 0, climbed back to 21 and - after the final game - dropped back down to 3. The main reason for me being positive after these games is most likely the fact that my MMR was low compared to GMD and the rest of my teammates (and of course also low compared to the MMRs of the enemies). Meanwhile, GMD went from 47 points to 17 in Katarina's Necromancers :( Overall, I am unhappy about these games. Although the scores suggest I did reasonable, I made mistakes in all of the games played (mainly in terms of positioning) and I generally missed too much cs. Although I'm happy I didn't get demoted (which was honestly my biggest worry going into ranked with the new system), I don't feel I deserve having points at all based on how badly I played and I feel bad for GMD losing 30 points. On top of all that, I can't even look at the LoLReplay files because the program doesn't seem to be working for me since the most recent patch... Meh.....Here's to my next games being a lot better *raises imaginary glass* [color=red][b]LP:[/b][/color] 3[/quote]

In the [[Graves]] game, me and GMD both got grabbed by [[Blitzcrank]] a couple of times and gave the enemy [[Ezreal]] some silly kills, but I managed to stay ahead in cs and we actually stayed even right until the enemy [[Wukong]] (their jungler I believe) helped their bot lane dive us, with all three of them surviving with incredibly low health. He had to walk around our ward at dragon to do so (moving from purple side wolves to blue and then into the triangle brush behind the tower), but since mid didn't ward and our jungler had no control whatsoever it didn't matter. So sad knowing we would've won that lane and possibly carried that game - even after being behind - if only one person had been clever enough to help us there. Second game I actually didn't cs as well as in the first, but both the enemy [[Miss Fortune]] as well as the [[Blitzcrank]] were playing very badly and we stomped the lane easily, with me going 6-1 (dying only due to one random [[Elise]] gank). With our teammates [[Warwick]] and [[Ryze]] both being 2-0 and only our [[Darius]] having a negative 1-3 score, there was virtually [i]nothing[/i] that could go wrong from then on. Well guess f*cking what? Everything went wrong. Grouping, dodging [[Blitzcrank]]'s hooks, forcing objectives; absolutely everything. The [[Miss Fortune]] went from being useless to getting a 10-5 score and almost being too tanky even for me to kill ([[Warmog's Armor]]), the enemy [[Cho'gath]] became a beast out of nowhere, their [[Zed]] got fed enough to get enough damage items to instagib me................... All of our teammates were Silver I, and honestly, it showed. It's just disgusting how badly people can throw a lead because of a lack of common knowledge, ugh.

[quote=Wayne3100][center][h2][color=red]Game 38+39[/color][/h2][/center] [center]Solo Queue / Duo Queue with Variduse[/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/TCAMfPc.png][/center] Played a game two days ago as [[Elise]] in which I won top (vs [[Wukong]]) and bot lane won as well. Meanwhile the enemy [[Morgana]] was stomping our [[Katarina]] mid (mainly because the gank from our jungle [[Nocturne]] backfired), but once we hit the teamfight stage it proved not to be a problem as we had a lot of mobility and it was hard for Morg to land good ults. The [[Caitlyn]] game was played roughly 30 minutes ago with my team's jungler, who played [[Skarner]]. Our [[Rengar]] top pretty much went even with [[Pantheon]], [[Mordekaiser]] mid kinda failed against [[Karthus]] (mainly because he wasn't pushing hard and didn't have map awareness / proper positioning), but in bot lane I did pretty well on cs and the enemy team had a forced support [[Xin Zhao]] (enemy [[Udyr]] locked a jungler after they already had one) which never really worked for them (meanwhile I was laning with a pretty good [[Thresh]]). We won most teamfights quite comfortably and my team did a very good job at protecting me once I was fed, so we started forcing more and more objectives and slowly but steadily won the game.
