iBrewLots Ranked Journey (Season 3 and Beyond!)

[quote=iBrewLots]Hey all, BrewLots here, I've been around mobafire since I started league about a year and a month ago, not really getting involved in the community but getting to know some people. (although they don't know me....) So, I decided now I want to interact with everyone! I made a blog not long ago, detailing my journey from the beginning of s3 roughly to now. This thread is to show my progress and so you can critic me so I can become better. First, a little background. When s3 started, I thought I was ready for ranked. (Nope.jpg) I lost 8/10 promotion games and got thrown into bronze 3. I then lost more than I won, and dropped to bronze 4. I then played a stupid amount of normals to practice, and I improved drastically, jumping from bronze 4 to silver 1(which I hit just now) in 1 or 2 months. games #1-8 These games I played today. [img=http://i41.tinypic.com/2ziqwyg.png] and [img=http://i44.tinypic.com/x3wnjc.png] What can I say? been playing well today, and getting lucky with teams. Gone from ~30 points in s2 and im now s1 as from the last game there.. anything im missing? more details analysis on the upcoming games. Ooh, I didn't tell you my champions :) Top: [[Zac]] [[warwick]] [[gangplank]] Mid: [[ahri]] [[kassadin]] [[swain]] Jungle: [[jarvan iv]] [[lee sin]] Support: [[Morgana]] [[zyra]] Marksman: [[Caitlyn]] [[ezreal]] ~Brew[/quote]

[quote=iBrewLots]okay, wow. [img=http://i41.tinypic.com/xg9ox.png] So, bans were: [[Fizz]], [[Kassadin]], [[Zac]] & [[Ahri]], [[Udyr]], [[Amumu]] I'm Second pick, same time as first, they hover [[lissandra]] and I lock in [[swain]] I love swain. so the [[lissandra]] is a diamond smurf, was diamond on that acc in s2.. Calls for invade on blue, we double snare into [[name]]'s bubble for an easy FB on [[jax]]. [[Lee sin]] does his red, goes top and we kill [[jax]], getting me my second assist. I rushed [[liandry's torment]] and just traded kills with [[jax]] for lols, seeing as their jungle went afk, their support went afk and their mid was 0/5 Overal useless game, and netted me a measly 5lp. I CANT GET TO GOLD WITH 5 POINTS WTF RIOT GRRR[/quote]

[quote=Thalia Kael]I got 4 LP per win all the way until 76 LP while I was in Silver 1. I even had 11 wins in a row and it only amounted to 44 lp After I hit 76 LP I started to gain and lose normal amounts of LP, around 15-25 You'll get there =)[/quote]

[quote=iBrewLots][img=http://i43.tinypic.com/r7lvns.png] Game lost. Hard. Bans: [[Anivia]]/[[Fizz]]/[[Kassadin]] & [[hecarim]]/[[ahri]]/[[zed]] Picture says it all. Jungler started with 800ping supposedly, didn't gank for ~13minutes. During this time I had the best dance of my life trying to harass and kill nidalee without taking spears. I did FB her, and her spear left me with 6hp xD Then I disconnected for no reason, came back dead and [[nidalee]] had a deathcap. She then 1-speared me somehow... Then I slowly came back, killing bot etc, but top had managed to feed [[irelia]] and [[nasus]] was well farmed. Ways to improve: Don't disconnect. Note: Nerf [[irelia]].[/quote]

[quote=1jamie50][[Doran's Blade]]s EVERYWHERE. #Dorans :P And don't worry about the LP gains that's how Silver I is for basically everybody from what I've seen. You generally win a few LP more than you lose from what I've seen.[/quote]

[quote=iBrewLots][img=http://i42.tinypic.com/5pml3r.png] Game was disgusting. Bans: [[blitzcrank]]/[[amumu]]/[[fizz]] & [[kassadin]]/[[vayne]]/[[thresh]] ahri unbanned, I was first pick. Instalock. Anyway, so I got camped hard mid. Hard. Bot lane ganked 3 times, the zed top ganked twice and elise ganked 3 or 4 times. So I was 1/4 but keeping even on cs.. My ENTIRE team is abusing me and flaming me hard at this point, to the stage where I could barely play. I started going 1v4 in hopes of getting a kill, etc. anyway, that's the end result. +8LP.[/quote]

[quote=iBrewLots]Game 12 [img=http://i43.tinypic.com/rh0qo2.png] Okay. Bans: Not a clue. I banned [[Kassadin]], [[Jarvan IV]] and [[Heimerdinger]], enemy banned [[Fizz]], [[Thresh]] and another. So. I have no idea where to start. I'm first pick, people are calling out lanes, I see that top+support are left, so wanted to be nice I lock in [[zyra]] support. My team was made up of people from Ukraine, Sweden and Russia from what I can tell. Last pick locks in [[sona]] and tells me to jungle. So I switched to smite. Then [[aatrox]] says he's jungle and switches to smite at 1 second left. Im left with support masteries and smite to go top lane against [[Lee Sin]] So in game. Aatrox and me got first blood on lee sin. Bot lane decided to die 25 times I was crying most of the game TL/DR; Gold Too hard to reach, qq[/quote]
