There's the replay if anyone wants to watch it. I'm gonna start posting replays of my games actually. Especially the Talon ones, would be nice to hear criticism from higher Elo players.

Sigh. I was lagging for most of the game, which made me die unnecessarily a few times. There was one time where I burst graves in a team-fight, and because I clicked each key in quick succession, it didn't register me clicking R and I noticed too late that my ult hadn't gone off, so I both didn't kill Graves, and died.
Another time when I saw Hecarim in the brush through a ward and Lux was mid on low enough HP for me to burst her down, I suppose trying to bait me. So I walked backwards away from their minions so I'd be in fog of war, and activated my ult. My intention was to burst Lux down quickly before she could react, then walk away from Hecarim because I was full HP and he didn't have enough damage to kill me, but I don't know if they had a vision ward on the lane or it was pure dumb luck that Hecarim had decided to run across the lane, but Hecarim turned on his E and ran onto the lane just as I was reaching Lux, and I didn't have enough time to react and cancel my E so I ended up bursting Lux while Hecarim was literally right next to me. He pushed me away, Lux snared me, and I died. I recalled, got a vision ward, placed it on the lane and there was nothing there, so I think it was actually pure dumb luck.
So ended up going from 6/1 or 6/2 to 6/4 because I think every other lane was losing and I simply couldn't find any chances to kill anyone. I know when I was 3 minions away from hitting 6 and killing Lux but getting ganked by Hecarim instead, the team stats were already 1/4, but I'm not sure if every lane continued losing.
Anyways, late-game we were winning because Kog'Maw had ridiculous damage with blade of the ruined king, his W and
Runaan's Hurricane, but in the final fight, he literally stood SMACK BANG IN THE MIDDLE of their team auto-attacking anything he could, and we lost that fight, and lost the game.http://www.leaguereplays.com/replays/match/2962009/

called it.
also,
Graves has a very nice name.better luck and less isp issues next time. =)
Amumu and Malph weren't banned, I told our first pick to pick me Malphite, for mid. Their first pick insta-locked Shaco, and so we picked Amumu too. The game was completely faceroll. Every lane won, I think, and I would initiate team-fights with my ultimate, followed by Amumu's bandage toss. They had the choice of either defending the people I'd ulted and running into Amumu's ultimate range, or letting them both die and defending their towers 3v5 with Amumu's ult still up. Neither were very good options lol. Shaco did well, but obviously there was no way he could carry that.
This next game, I'm mid Malph again, with Hecarim and Thresh on my team. If Thresh hits Q on someone important, GG.
Man Malph is so easy to play, and I discovered how good he is vs meelees. Just max E and spam it all day, win lane.
Not that I DID win my lane, two of the times I'd been forced off the lane by a Voli gank Hecarim ran onto the lane and attacked Rumble, realized Rumble was stronger than him, and died trying to run. Which sorta snowballed Rumble's lane for him, though I only died once. :> Even though I was still outfarming him despite this, Hecarim flamed me for losing my lane. "wtf, how can you even lose mid vs rumble. 4/0 vs 0/1, noob". Yeah, and which one of us gave him the most kills, lol. I died once after he was already 2/0, then he ganked top for 4/0. Hecarim literally walked onto my lane and lost it for me.
But yeah, I was still able to farm, and I kept ahead of him in farm even though I got forced off the lane a few times. In team-fights, if I hadn't initiated the fight by ult'ing Ezreal, Ezreal was only half-participating because I would ult him if I got too close, which led to us having stronger team-fights.
There was even one fight where the fight started by Yorick getting caught out 5v1 while we were headed mid, and he ulted himself at the last second just as we arrived, fought 5v5 and we won the team-fight before Yorick's ghost even ended. It was lulworthy. Didn't matter at all that he got caught out, ended the same anyway.

... Well, I won.
But...
Onto the actual game, our Diana was afk for about 10 minutes and I was afraid it was just gonna be a free loss. They invaded our blue at level 1 and killed Taric for first blood, then Karthus got the blue at level 2 or something which basically made my entire laning phase for the first 4 minutes dancing around minions dodging Q's. I eventually recalled at level 5 because 1 more Q would have killed me, and I think after pushing my lane he went to do wraiths or something. I came back onto the lane with 2 long swords at the same time as he came back from wraiths with about 80% HP. I popped my elixir, jumped on him and killed him. ty for da blue. And from then on I got camped by Jarvan all game. There was even one time where I tower-dived Karthus and he ran out of the brush and killed me ( after I killed Karthus ). I had no idea he was there lol. He ganked me 4-6 times probably. But anyways, I also ganked bot tons, and I kept 1-shotting Varus constantly, even when he used barrier.
It was a really funny game because of how much of a bully I was being to Varus. Any time I saw him on his own I'd kill him, and even if he was with Thresh on bot lane I'd just walk up to him and kill him in 1 second. I suggest you watch the replay lol, will probably be worth your time. Anyways, Diana pretty much spent the first 30 minutes afk farming random lanes until she caught up to everyone else in levels, and then we started winning team-fights. Even after they baroned, we were too strong for them.

You really shouldn't be surprised by such low amounts of LP. I believe an explanation has been posted on Moba several times now, maybe even in this thread. Also, I'm only getting 5 or 6 for a win and I'm at 55 points right now :P
Copy and pasted from the Riot Games League System FAQ.
I reached Divison 1 of my league, and I am not earning as many League Points as before. Why is this?
When you enter a ranked game, you are matched with teammates and opponents based on your matchmaking rating (what used to be called Elo). It is expected that your matchmaking rating is about equal to other players in your League. If for some reason your matchmaking rating is below what is expected in your League, you will see League Point gains come much more slowly as you approach your Division 1 Series.
Because League placement is now permanent, we have designed the system to ensure that a player’s matchmaking rating is high enough to ensure that you can consistently play at the level of the next tier. As long as you continue to win more than you lose, your League Point gain will even out and you’ll reach the Promotion Series.
It is possible to earn 0 League Points if your MMR is too low to qualify for the next tier.
Going by Lolking, your MMR right now is 1496. You need to have an MMR of 1500 to qualify for Gold (I believe, so you're almost there).

Thanks to YayaFTW for the sig.
Ugh, lost 2/9 as mid Riven vs Akali. Nearly scored fb on her at level 5 but she flashed away, and because I started with red pot and she started with 9 health potions, she got back to full HP while I remained on the 20% HP she'd flashed away from, so I had to B. Later on I tried to towerdive her, but my elixir literally ran out just as I started attacking her, which I hadn't expected. Either way, I was still gonna kill her, except I died first and that made her level up, and she barely survived my ignite. After that, for the next 3 minutes she had a lead on me, and then their bot lane started pushing mid, because they'd destroyed the bot tower less than 15 minutes in. I had absolutely no chance to make a come-back, and we were team-fighting while I only had Doran's Blade, Brutalizer, and Boots, so I melted instantly if I tried to fight.
^ At the posts above me, yeah, I know about that, but I should be losing a lot more than I'm gaining in that case, shouldn't I? I gained 2 LP for that, but only lost 4 LP for this. And I'm constantly playing both with and against gold players, so I figured my MMR was actually higher than silver.

I died so much because I afk'd for a bit within the first 4 minutes of laning with that Alistar, then when I came back I was pretty under-leveled, so Vi made it her soul purpose in life to 3v1 towerdive me any time her ultimate was off of cooldown. Even using both flash and cleanse in the same gank I couldn't escape, and they were both on cooldown after that.
Sad thing is, it really looked like it would have been an easy win, because despite Ali's trolling, and their incessant tower-dives on me, the team stats were 7/9 when I afk'd, including Ali's free first blood and my 5 deaths.
And just by looking at that TF's LoLking I can see he's been trolling for the past 7 games, excluding a bots game. Or maybe he just trolled that game by killstealing everything, I don't know.
