OTG's Ranked Evolution 2: Electric Boogaloo.

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Hello all! Recently I hit Gold and I've stopped streaming as much. So I thought I'd restart a ranked journey thread for my trek to platinum and above. My goal is to really get into specific champions to have very strong choices for each lane. So far my most consistent picks have been; Support: [[Sona]], [[Thresh]], [[Taric]] Top: [[Zac]] Jungle: [[Nasus]], [[Sejuani]] Mid: [[Viktor]], [[Jayce]] Will update as that changes, but anyway here's the first game of actually getting LP in Gold! [img=http://i.imgur.com/8IBTO5m.png] This game was a hassle. They guessed correctly that I'd be top (I had hoped that last picking [[hecarim]] and trading would make them think i was jungling as [[Zac]].) and countered with [[Teemo]]. Most of my laning phase was attempting to not take so much poke damage and keep the tower intact. He outfarmed me heavily and as a result I could not get the psuedo AP items I wanted, such as [[Rylai's Crystal Scepter]]. Luckily our support [[Fiddlesticks]] ended up with a lot of kills at bot and filled in my lack of damage. I took over [[Fiddlesticks]] role of support, and started buying [[oracle's elixir]] and began counter warding and began anti-[[teemo]] work. Despite nearly doubling my CS, he really didn't help his team much and ended up going like 2/4. We won every team fight, due to our superior CC, and warding/counterwarding, and ultimately they gave up as they were all fighting with eachother. Things I did well: I held my own against a counter lane, I kept his splitpushing and mushrooms in check. Things I need to improve on: I impulse picked [[zac]] because hes the only top laner I consistently do well with these days. I need to be more careful about counterpicks.[/quote]

[quote=Kinen]OTG, when did you get [color="gold"]Gold[/color]? Why did I not know of this? Clearly I should have been stalking your stream. Congrats, guy.[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]he got it sometime [i]after[/i] I did[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]I got it about 2 days ago, I said something in the happy thread but it wasn't that visible I guess. But thanks. :3 Edit: Yea, MissMaw beat me there, but I still beat IAmByakuya, so I'm content.[/quote]

[quote=Kinen]Damn, I'm out of the loop. Are you thinking of trying to add another consistent top laner? If you can really learn all Zac matchups, I can't see that counterpicks would be much of a problem anymore.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Shit spelled thread title wrong. Hangovers +computer anything is not a good idea, friends. I'm just gonna act like it's intentional.[/quote]

[/quote] Well, as that game proves, even if I get behind I know [[zac]] well enough to be resourceful. I just shifted to being the support. And, I still managed to be 6/1 somehow... accidental KS's. XD I do however need to pick up another top laner that can deal with champions like Kennen or Teemo easier. As well as some mids/adcs[/quote]
