Lugignaf's S3 Ranked failures!

[quote=Lugignaf][center][h2]Game 13, February 7th[/h2] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4GvdFXW.png[/IMG] Bans: [[Vi]], [[Shen]], [[Darius]] / [[Blitzcrank]], [[Alistar]], [[Olaf]] Another interesting jungle Maokai game. They 5-man invaded and got first blood on Kass and stole my blue. I went Wraiths->Wolves and went back for a flask. I kept the machete all game because none of the upgrades were really worth it other than [[Spirit of the ancient golem]], and I just went for Mercs instead. With me being behind, I went for [[Twin shadows]] and kept the pick for a while for the gold. It ended up being invaluable because of all the scouting it gave as well as the slows. During late game teamfights, I thought we were going to lose to the combined CC of [[Malphite]] and [[Amumu]], but both of them went straight towards our Vayne, as well as their Taric, which let us just beat on Lux and Draven. A final fight where they decided to walk in one at a time let us just pick them off for an ace and a push to win.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]I'm starting to find the "hurr-durr, i have more cc than you"-game very annoying. GJ on your win.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]i honestly don't get why you didn't upgrade the machete.. Also why the shroud when it doesn't seem that the draven was doing anything.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]I was gonna go for [[Iceborn gauntlet]], but the game ended too quickly. The CDR is nice, and I didn't feel like going for Reverie at that point in the game. As to why I didn't upgrade machete? That's more of a choice than anything. I [i]could've[/i] gone for [[Madred's Razors]] for a slightly faster clear, but that doesn't build into amazingly useful things later. The Spirit stone wasn't really needed for MP/HP5 because I was toting around a [[Crystalline Flask]] for most of the game. Sure it would've increased my clear speed by a bit, but I really didn't need it most times.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]spirit stone is really strong after it's buff. Machete is build for the armor. If you had went for madred's+kindlegem you would've ended up with almost the same cdr, almost the same armor and the only thing you'd have missed out on would be mana pretty much. If i were you i would definitely have gone for spirit stone and foregone the flask and then mobi-boots instead of the mercs.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]I needed the flask because I didn't have blue for the first go in my jungle. I didn't take it because I wanted to, I did it because I had to.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf][center][h2]Game 14, February 10th[/h2] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9PN4Axz.png[/IMG] Bans: [[Amumu]], [[Shen]], [[Shaco]] / [[Malphite]], [[Blitzcrank]], [[Darius]] Not much to say about this game. My top opponent d/c-ed for a while, so I got freefarm and their Yi decided to AFK. We pushed to win pretty early on.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]i think [[Garen]] is now more on the op side. all he needs to do is stack HP. GJ. GL for 3 or 4 more wins.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf][center][h2]Game 15, February 12th[/h2] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/GS529yC.png[/IMG] Bans: [[Kha'Zix]], [[Shen]], [[Katarina]] / [[Amumu]], [[Blitzcrank]], [[Malphite]] Interesting match where I was last pick and thrown into support. I thought we'd have a nice aggressive lane, but Taric kinda screwed that up. Draven got in over his head a lot and it cost us fairly quickly. Thankfully, we had a competent team who ganked for us bot lane frequently, as Kennen was having no troubles with Nid top. And with that, I move on to promotion for Silver II. Yay. :3[/quote]
