Wayne3100's Quest for Platinum (Season 3)

[quote=Wayne3100][center][h2][color=red]Game 97[/color][/h2][/center] [center]Solo Queue[/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/GIGYp7I.png][/center] Short update since I don't think I'll play more solo queue today (only team ranked). Carried by Gold II [[Nocturne]] mid main who absolutely stomped [[Ryze]]. My MMR once again proved to be higher than that of Gold V teammates (who were not at 0 points :P), though the Gold II guy was firstpick ofc. My lane vs [[Shen]] went well, forced him back after a gank from our [[Shaco]] and stayed ahead in cs and levels after that. His Q harass really hurt though :( Luckily, [[Shen]] and their jungle [[Nasus]] decided to dive me when I was relatively low, which resulted in me killing [[Nasus]] and stealing his double buffs before [[Flash]]ing out (after which [[Shaco]] and [[Nocturne]] killed [[Shen]]) :3 I am generally unhappy about my cs on [[Zac]] though, not sure whether I just need more time to get used to him or whether I'm just screwing myself over with my Q damage always leaving minions at very low hp. Need to work on that. [color=red][b]LP:[/b][/color] 88[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD]And he told me [[Nocturne]] mid lane sucks... silly wayne :P[/quote]

[quote=rudyards]Nocturne mid is a great counter to Twisted Fate (due to his ult and shield). But I haven't seen it in action enough to judge it in general.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][quote=GrandmasterD] And he told me [[Nocturne]] mid lane sucks... silly wayne :P [/quote] I can't recall having said it sucks, I even mentioned in this ranked game that I've seen it being played successfully before, referring to you. I admit I don't quite understand why Noct of all champions would do well mid, but I tend not to overexaggerate like you do so often :D[/quote]

Ryze is one of the hardest to beat for Noct so... Anyway, Noct has a high damage, low cd poke, a spell shield, a strong gap-closer that allows for roaming and CC. Apart from that: 3 steroids. Oh and also, built-in sustain.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][center][h2][color=red]Game 98-100[/color][/h2][/center] [center]Solo Queue / Duo Queue with Agrimenta (GMD's smurf)[/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/hmRl5eN.png][/center] First game two of my teammates wanted AD and top, so despite being firstpick I decided to give it to them and go mid as [[Orianna]]. I was up 50 cs on [[Lux]] after only 10 minutes, but got forced back by a [[Hecarim]] gank, at which point [[Lux]] roamed and, despite walking through a ward at bot lane, picked up a kill and an assist. Top, meanwhile, was getting camped heavily and our [[Renekton]] got smashed by [[Malphite]] because of it. Though I remained ahead of [[Lux]] throughout the laning phase, her roaming kept giving her kills even when I pinged her several times along the way towards bot lane and she walked through several wards. Me getting their mid tower for it at that point simply wasn't "worth". In teamfights, I struggled to land good ultimates as [[Leona]] and [[Hecarim]] would dive in while the rest of their team stayed back, creating an enormous gap which made it impossible for me to hit a lot of enemies every time. Because of this, I never really made an impact despite my farm and [[Lux]] went 7-1 in the end. A bit frustrating, though I must say my positioning in teamfights was not optimal because I lack experience on mid. Moving on, I played an [[Ezreal]] game the second time, as GMD/Agrimenta played [[Lee Sin]] jungle. The [[Sona]] I was laning with carried me through the laning phase as my cs kinda sucked, but after that I think I played reasonably well. I also used the blue build for the first time, which I felt was pretty good in that game. Overall happy about my performance. The third game (GMD played [[Talon]] mid vs [[Twisted Fate]], I played together with a [[Thresh]] vs [[Caitlyn]] - [[Alistar]]) started out well with our top laner ([[Jayce]]) getting First Blood, but went downhill as soon as [[Thresh]] disconnected. We were winning our lane (ahead in cs, not getting kills) before he left, but as I laned 1v2 that changed quickly, especially as their TF also came to gank. I shouldn't have died 6 times, in the end, but the fact I was again going to lose while being in touching distance of my promotionals (I lost 5 before gaining 8, leaving me at 91 LP) hit me and I just couldn't be bothered to try my best in a game we were always going to lose. [[Thresh]] did reconnect in the end, but it was far too late as all of their lanes were ahead at this point and we eventually surrendered. As before, I gained more than I lost, which means I only lost 1 LP. Still a bit frustrated, I just want a small winning spree to get to (and through) my promotionals..... [color=red][b]LP:[/b][/color] 87 ----- I've now played 100 games, going 52-48 with 593 kills, 294 deaths and 750 assists. That winrate really isn't good enough >.>[/quote]
