Lucorian5's Solo Queue Adventures!

[quote=Lucorian5]After a few weeks of preseason I've changed my roster significantly from what it was before, at least in some areas. I play 10x better with AD Assassin mids than AP's so I probably won't be playing mages much at all tbh. I enjoy [[twisted fate]] and [[diana]] to some extent, along with [[xerath]]; and like any idiot I can play a decent [[kassadin]] but that's about it. Here is a shaky, but more realistic layout of my Season 4 roster: [b]Top:[/b] 1. [[renekton]]; 8/10 2. [[shen]]; 7.5/10 3. [[aatrox]]; 6.5/10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Jungle:[/b] 1. [[jarvan IV]]; 8/10 2. [[nocturne]]; 8/10 (I have a really really good winrate with him somehow but still consider myself better with J4 tbh despite what the W/L says) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Mid:[/b] 1. [[talon]]; 9.75/10 2. [[wukong]]; 9/10 3. [[zed]]; 8/10 4. [[pantheon]]; 8/10 5. [[kha'zix]]: 7.5/10 6. [[xerath]]; 7/10 7. [[ezreal]] (AD); 7/10 8. [[kassadin]]; 7/10 (have massive troubles farming with him though :/) 9. [[diana]]; 7/10 (Probably my favorite AP mid atm besides TF, just need more experience) 10. [[twisted fate]]; 6.5/10 (much more experience needed, enjoy him though) 11. [[lissandra]]; 6/10 12. [[jayce]]; ?/10 (literally just picked him up as a mid today so its too early to tell, he does a lot of damage though and I'd like to have him ready for Season 4 ranked) - Ditching [[fizz]], hate him too much - [[brand]] also gets the boot, he's simply too snowball reliant and easy to shut down - I had a number of ranked games with [[leblanc]] in Season 3, great personal KDA but awful winrate because I have trouble farming and she's impossible if you don't snowball so I probably will forget about her for S4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]ADC/Marksman[/b] 1. [[caitlyn]]; 8/10 2. [[ezreal]]; 7.5/10 3. [[graves]]; 6.5/10 4. [[vayne]]; 6/10 (I can play her but...yeah not my favorite) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Support[/b] Nope.[/quote]

[quote=Lucorian5]Started playing a bit more solo queue again as opposed to a game every 10 days, three games later and I've entered a series for Gold IV (maybe III but I doubt my MMR is good enough to skip).[/quote]

[quote=Lucorian5]My MMR is higher than that of my Gold II cousin (I picked ahead of him when we duo'd) and yet somehow I didn't skip Gold IV D:[/quote]

[quote=Lucorian5]Aaaaand Let The Games Begin: [IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/24nlikn.png[/IMG] Shitty game. Not much to say really, had no chance of winning whatsoever since [[varus]] and [[rengar]] were just awful, I also cs'd very poorly for some reason and just couldn't get anything going anywhere so we just got crushed. [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/walt84.png[/IMG] Reeeeally shitty start once again and it was looking really grim but we persevered through two surrender votes and won since although they had a massive kill/objective lead early, their [[nocturne]] took pretty much every kill early on which really really hurt his team late game. He was fed as hell but after catching them all at low health and acing them on a brutally terrible baron attempt we turned the game around; after that point we won teamfights while losing 1-2 people max and just sort of gradually pushed forward for the win. 1-1 in Placements now.[/quote]

[quote=Lucorian5]9-2-3 [[talon]] win (vs [[zed]] mid), wouldn't let me into the post game screen so no screenshot. 2-1.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]My first ranked win of the season was against Zed. He started Doran's Shield by the way and it wasn't really hard. I had no armor from runes and I still stomped him.[/quote]

[quote=Lucorian5]Its never a hard matchup, its just bothersome when they start Shield and play like a complete pussy while their jungler camps. This time I gave the [[doran's shield]] start a go and I really liked it, he started [[long sword]] and kept trying to fight me so it was a real easy lane overall.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]Yeah Doran's Shield is strong, I just don't like it because it means you usually get Brutalizer on second B instead of first B. I only take it if I'm scared of getting camped or if for some reason I think the other person might be better than me.[/quote]

[quote=Lucorian5]Ugh 3-3 now, one game I was doing real well as [[kha'zix]] but somehow due to the weird early season unranked status of everyone we had a bronze [[singed]] on our team who had 13 cs in ten minutes and fed the living fuck out of the enemy [[tryndamere]]; my jungler and I made a valiant effort all game to stop the Tryn but he was just too retardedly strong from three kills and unlimited free farm. We won every team fight there was but lost the game because of his constant split pushing since [[singed]] would try to stop him and die instantly and then I would have to go turn him around (if I didn't he would get a Nexus turret or two easily) and once I left my team would have to fight 4v3; anyways you get the idea lol. Stomped a game as [[wukong]] mid while duo with our jungler, but then lost the next game as [[shyvana]] top since [[trundle]] is a bitch and our elo boosted plat V [[lee sin]] had the mechanics, skill, and attitude of a bronze III/IV and basically fed the whole game while raging at us for it.[/quote]

[quote=Lucorian5]We have [[talon]] mid and [[riven]] jungle and our last pick instalocks [[fiora]] top is this real life... Edit: Saved by the dodge, didn't even see who did it since I was busy typing the original post lol[/quote]
