Lucorian5's Solo Queue Adventures!

[quote=Lucorian5]@Bioalchemist I assure you these guys were not that handful that can pull it off, they were a bronze II and IV duo queue and I really think they both belong in Bronze V based on what I saw. Complete scrubs. Thanks though and I guess I just have to power through and carry even harder...if that's possible :/. @Lord Kesharq Jarvan and I did absolutely everything in our power to stick around bot lane and get [[draven]] some kills but he just refused to capitalize on all the brilliant plays we set up. Also his idiot duo partner kept taking kills from him when he finally did decide to commit so at that point there's nothing more that can be done.[/quote]

[quote=Lucorian5][center][IMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/300gtie.png[/IMG][/center] 2ez. Although levels 1-3 against [[ziggs]] is actually a pain but the second you hit 6 its gg unless you die to him somehow. Even if I had been 0-5 we would've won easily since bot lane dominated so hard and our jungler was doing well also.[/quote]

[quote=Lucorian5][center][IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/2lwsnb4.png[/IMG][/center] Hoooooly that game was intense, and for most of the late game it really didn't look like we were gonna win. The short summary of the game is that we were winning pretty well early, but then somehow [[miss fortune]] and [[kassadin]] got super fed after both losing their lanes and they began to turn it around pretty hard until we were 9 kills and a turret or two down from them. The whole game was a series of people getting caught (*cough* [[caitlyn]] *cough*) but that being said I had a couple silly mistakes as well. They got Baron twice but we still somehow held on and at the very end both teams had a nexus turret and an inhibitor or two down. Even so they definitely had the advantage and I can honestly say they would've won the game were it not for one TERRIBLE call they made at the very end. Both teams were up, and our team was grouped mid while their [[shen]] was bot and the rest were between mid and top. Instead of all heading mid to contest us and quite possibly beat us in a fight and end it, they decide to run top (our only lane still standing, we had two turrets up on it) and give us a clear path down the middle where most of their turrets were gone. So we ran down the middle and took down their last turret, by that time all of their team had come down to stop us...except [[wukong]] who idiotically stayed top. I ended up dying but the delay from my [[guardian angel]] allowed me to lure [[kassadin]] away from the main fight temporarily so my team could kill the rest of his. He did kill me but by that time his team was dead and he died too when he tried to defend his base himself. Meanwhile their [[wukong]] still stayed top and tried to backdoor our Nexus; we destroyed his as he was just starting on the remaining nexus tower. Gj [[wukong]]. Edit: Apparently I forgot to screenshot the game in between those last two; it was a relatively easy 12-5-14 [[talon]] win that put me in a series.[/quote]

[quote=Lucorian5][center][IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/2je8jtu.jpg[/IMG][/center] Contrary to what you would think, this game wasn't as easy or sure as it looked for two reasons. The first and most significant being that our [[poppy]] dc'd partway through the game and was gone for ~8 minutes, the other thing was the fact that from the very start of the game I was experiencing some of the worst lag I've ever had in LoL; it made no sense since our internet is usually pretty solid and nobody else in my house was even using it. But nonetheless I played the entire game with 1-2 second delays on all movements/commands which made farming a lot harder and dodging [[lux]] skillshots almost impossible. Thankfully their team was REALLY bad and I managed to do well and only die once after being the victim of First Blood via an invade on our blue while I was typing (still would've gotten away with [[flash]], but I got nailed with a max range [[light binding]] that was actually rather impressive given the distance and positioning of both of us). Silver IV now, and hopefully third time's the charm :S.[/quote]

[quote=Lucorian5][center][IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/epep8j.png[/IMG][/center] GG couldn't carry my team. Basically one of those games where I played my heart out and did everything right and all I could to win but it just wasn't enough. That was honestly one of my best personal games ever but our bot lane lost hard, top lane lost hard, and their jungler was beating the crap out of ours. I roamed as much as possible to try and help but I couldn't be everywhere at once and whichever lane I wasn't babysitting would instantly die. [[renekton]] simply did not take damage from me or anyone else and the fact that I could one shot the other four was irrelevant since him and the other three would insta-gib my other teammates once I'd taken one out. And of course our [[miss fortune]] couldn't even get herself one lousy kill through the whole game and so she did no damage at all and was utterly useless. Oh and according to [[zac]] everyone but him on our team had "downs" and I was the reason why we lost because it was my fault he lost top...I just didn't have the willpower to argue with such flawed logic at the time so I refrained from saying anything. Probably a good thing.[/quote]

[/quote] I guarantee you misplayed in this game. You would have won if you played it to perfection.[/quote]

You would have won if you played it to perfection. [/quote] You underestimate the power of an adc with 0 kills and not a lot of cs. I'm sure somewhere there's something I could have done slightly better, but I wish I could send you the replay (no idea how to share LoL Recorder stuff) so you could see what happened that game. Anytime one of their team wandered slightly out of position I made sure they were dead instantly, I helped salvage lanes that had all but given up, I put [[twisted fate]] well behind me at the start, I took global objectives...sorry but there isn't a whole lot you can pin on me other than I just "didn't carry hard enough".[/quote]
