Wayne3100's Quest for Platinum (Season 3)

Pengu was having some trouble mid as [[Diana]] vs [[Lux]], but it didn't matter much going into teamfights since we were ahead overall. Our jungle [[Jax]] also became a beast late game and we ended up winning quite comfortably. The loss after was a bit sad, we were ahead as a team but made too many mistakes in the mid game which made us unable to further our advantage and win the game. Eventually they came back because their teamfighting was better with [[Rammus]] and [[Cho'gath]] running in to kill me (my [[Sona]] was unable to really protect me) while we only had [[Zed]] (Pengu) to jump on their [[Caitlyn]] and he wasn't able to instagib her with [[Thresh]] around. Could've won that game if we would've made less mistakes. Finally, although the score might suggest otherwise, we were losing the third game hard (in which Pengu and I played [[Thresh]] + [[Graves]] bottom lane vs [[Blitz]]-[[Varus]]). Our top [[Wukong]] was doing well (3-0 after ~12 minutes), our mid [[Nidalee]] was feeding like no tomorrow (0-5 to [[Gragas]] after ~15 min). In an attempt to salvage something for her team, Nid came to gank bot and hopefully make us win our lane. Somehow, the gank worked out horrendously (combination of misplays and the enemy [[Zac]] jungle being there) and all three of us died, which instantly made us lose our lane as [[Varus]] got a killing spree. To top it all off, [[Wukong]] then also managed to die to [[Darius]] 1v1 multiple times despite being incredibly ahead. Somehow, while being pushed back, we managed to do well in most teamfights due to the combination of the [[Malphite]] - our jungler - and [[Wukong]] ulti and due to my damage, as I stayed pretty strong, picking up kills every fight. With me being the only really strong champion on our team while the enemy team still had a strong [[Varus]] and [[Gragas]], we were still fighting the odds as the enemy team eventually went for Baron. While [[Malphite]] and [[Wukong]] jumped in and used their ulties, Pengu landed a great hook on the enemy [[Varus]] (who was out of position, separated from his team) which allowed me to kill him pretty much instantly before helping the others clean up. We got Baron directly after the fight and started pushing down towers. [[Nidalee]]'s spears were also starting to really hurt by this point, so it didn't take long for us to seal the deal as the enemy team surrendered after another lost fight. That last game had been so lost that we were considering to surrender multiple times. Glad we didn't, lol. [color=red][b]LP:[/b][/color] 86[/quote]

First game the enemy [[Elise]] ragequit after Pengu got some kills on her with help of our jungle [[Volibear]], while I won bot lane with a support [[Zyra]] vs [[Ashe]]-[[Janna]]. They surrendered after 20 minutes. Second game someone on our team called AD, but then pussied out when the enemy team picked [[Vayne]] so I played [[Graves]] again, together with a [[Blitzcrank]] (while she had [[Alistar]] as support). Pengu (who was playing jungle [[Xin Zhao]]) got some work done, netting First Blood to give [[Katarina]] an advantage versus [[Anivia]] before disrupting [[Lee Sin]]'s jungle for a bit. The game was a bit back and forth after that with quite some mistakes being made, but, as we went into late game, the only fed champion on their team was [[Lee Sin]]. In bottom lane we didn't manage to get [[Vayne]] behind because the Blitz I was laning with turned out to be a complete idiot, but with [[Xin Zhao]] and [[Katarina]] jumping her every fight that wasn't really a problem, especially as I was still ahead in cs and kills. Having won two games to go from 86 to 93, I was hoping the system was gonna cut me some slack, but instead I almost lost all of it in the last game. And honestly, as much as I hate blaming others without looking at my own performance, I feel I did not deserve that. That was probably the best jungle game I have ever played (and probably ever will play, for that matter). Just to name some random things: [indent][list][*]I came bot in time to help my bot lane while they were fighting, which resulted in [[Tristana]] getting First Blood before making it a double kill. [*]I came mid in time to [[Flash]] in and countergank the enemy [[Shen]] as they were trying to kill Pengu, saving his ass and killing [[Shen]] in the process. [*]I counterjungled [[Shen]] multiple times, taking his wraiths, golems and red buff at different stages of the game. [*]I set up the first Dragon for our team. [*]I came mid again to ult [[Shen]] in tower range as they were trying to kill Pengu again, this time leaving the kill to Pengu's [[Diana]]. [*]I helped our top lane [[Udyr]] (who was doing well) by diving [[Cho'gath]] together with him ([[Udyr]] got the kill) before killing the tower. [/list][/indent] When things were going well for us, I disconnected. Luckily, all it did was give the enemy team a Dragon, so we were still (slightly) ahead when I came back. As we took down the next Dragon (which I made sure not to [[Smite]]), Pengu died top and the enemy team rushed Baron. Because we didnt have it warded, I couldn't see the health on it and therefore couldn't steal. They grouped and pushed down our first mid tower. Still no big problem. However, Pengu came back thinking we were going to fight while the rest of us were backing off and we lost him again, so they killed two more mid towers and the Inhibitor. Any advantage we had was gone at this point. Minutes later, we had a fight near bot lane (which turned out to be the final one) in which the enemy [[Viktor]] got a Quadra kill while we were all hopelessly trying to kill [[Vayne]] and the game was over. Just like that, within minutes. After I felt I had done so well. Like literally the only thing I could've possibly prevented was getting 8 kills, but even then most of those were kills I had to take or kills I got while in the heat of battle. I play a great game in a role I absolutely suck at - the best way to sum it up would be to say it actually looked like I knew what I was doing - and we still lose. Seriously, remind me again why I even bother to try? [color=red][b]LP:[/b][/color] 87[/quote]

Bot lane was going pretty well, we were pretty even in the beginning despite [[Elise]] trying to gank 2 or 3 times, then she got First Blood for [[Kog'Maw]] mid and things started going downhill. Our [[Jarvan IV]] was incredibly behind and really didn't seem to get anything done, [[Ryze]] wasn't getting blue buffs and was unable to get back into the game, [[Malphite]] lost top on his own and got no help either. In bot lane we actually started winning as I picked up a kill on [[Tristana]] and [[Taric]] had to back with ~5% HP, but it didn't really matter much. After a while [[Elise]] came back to bot lane (despite her earlier ganks failing she was not behind at all, zzz) and literally made it into a 2v3 lane for a good 5 minutes so we couldn't kill [[Tristana]] and [[Taric]]. Then Kog joined the party and we died along with our first tower. Game was pretty much over at that point. Lost 10 points for this game, nuuuuuuuu :c [color=red][b]LP:[/b][/color] 77[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]That jungle Jarvan :/[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Yeeeaaah, I don't think he really had any idea what he was doing, lol. When [[Ryze]] asked why he wasn't getting the blue buff, [[Jarvan IV]] said "because it is your job to protect and get it". .....Eeeeeeh, ok o_o Anyway, got 11 points for a [[Graves]] win after that game, will post stats once I've played some more ranked games (probably not today)[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]I feel happy seeing you pull off [[Graves]] wins when he is a disfavored champion currently. I challenge you to build no boots on him. =P ([[trinity force]], [[Zephyr]], [[Phantom Dancer]])[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][center][h2][color=red]Game 81-84[/color][/h2][/center] [center]Solo Queue[/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/FyshZjN.png][/center] Have I mentioned before that I hate this game? Not much to say about the first three games. Every lane won in the [[Graves]] game, almost every lane lost in the [[Jarvan IV]] game and the enemy [[Shaco]] counterjungled well, almost every lane won in the [[Zed]] game (especially me vs [[Elise]], I was so far ahead I could 1v2 her and their jungle [[Olaf]] when he came to gank). So after getting back up to 88, dropping to 76 and climbing to 87 again, the last game literally just killed me. I don't even know where to begin. Our jungle [[Evelynn]] was incredibly fed after getting First Blood and some more kills/assists (including a kill on the enemy jungle [[Shaco]] which rendered him useless), our top [[Warwick]] somehow managed to go 3-0 against [[Nasus]] on his own (not saying he can't win, but he shouldn't stomp the guy) and in bot lane I was pushing the enemy [[Ezreal]] - [[Blitzcrank]] combo back and was outfarming their AD. Mid was even. There was literally [i]nothing[/i] that suggested we would lose the game at that point. Out of literally nowhere, the enemy teams get Dragon (unwarded) and picks up a kill on our [[Katarina]] mid. Then, [[Evelynn]] thinks she can run in 1v3 to get a kill and dies too. [[Warwick]] decides to greed for it and - wait for it, wait for it......- dies. They take our first mid tower and push on. People start flaming [[Janna]] for not warding. [[Janna]] replies with "first pick Eve OP". Eve says she carried all lanes and "we still lose omg" (please note the score was still in our favour at this point). I tell everyone to focus. Instead someone runs in alone again and we lose another fight. Our lead at this point is gone. Instead of grouping, my team decides going in one by one is still our best bet. Fuck logic, right? We lose two more mid towers and an inhibitor within minutes. No one is getting focused, no one on our team is getting protected, people chase for low-hp support [[Blitzcrank]]s or jungle [[Shaco]]s. Eventually, I snap. I cannot believe people want to lose so badly. I think - among other things - I said "We could've won this so easily, yet instead WE ALL DECIDE TO THROW IT" and "instead of focusing on the fucking game for a second, you guys rather trashtalk each other. Grow the fuck up". I might get reported for the amount of caps I used, honestly. I don't even care. I lost 21 points because people are too childish to admit their own mistakes, to forgive others for making a mistake every now and then and to simply focus on the game rather than trashtalk each other. A win would've probably put me incredibly close to my promo series. I am so fucking sad right now. [color=red][b]LP:[/b][/color] 66[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Somehow the loss motivated me to play another and get the LP back rather than to give up. [center][h2][color=red]Game 85[/color][/h2][/center] [center]Solo Queue[/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/yefsSb5.png][/center] I was laning against [[Nunu]] top, he was incredibly annoying but couldn't cs well so I was still able to get ahead of him rather easily. For some reason the guy was hella tanky though, so I couldn't really kill him unless there was a gank. Luckily, our jungle [[Nautilus]] helped me top a couple of times after [[Nunu]] had poked me down to low-ish HP, so that was cool. Other lanes were doing incredibly well so we won teamfights rather convincingly, easy game overall. [color=red][b]LP:[/b][/color] 83 Still -5 overall after 2 wins and 2 losses today, zzzz[/quote]
