MMR didn't get flipped around, its still the same, inb4 plat 5 graves with ****py MMR. Anywho, you really can't deal with a DC or leaver, you either 4v5 and win by outplaying, or end up losing :x, nice job though, ALWAYS BAYLIEVE.
I did something differently this game because I noticed their team was heavy aggression and engage with Jarvan IV and Maokai. Instead of using Talisman of ascension I used face of the mountain along with my normal items. I got it just to shield Zed or Lucian from Akali. For the same reason I used Exhaust. Was finishing Sunfire Aegis and likely would have finished the build with Randuin's Omen and Banshee's Veil.
Game Summary:
Zed got first blood and he and Elise were burying mid. Meanwhile Jax was outfarming Jarvan IV but being greedy and dying a lot. We were losing bot because Alistar was like the master of headbutt/Pulv combos and nailed Lucian every time.
Kind of a boring game though cause as soon as we grouped up we steam rolled every team fight until victory. They literally had no response to the fed Zed on their carries after my ultimate and other CC. It was just too much.
Things I learned:
Alistar is actually kind of scary to fight when your carry has a habit of getting too close.
Things to work on:
I didn't like face of the mountain and felt a severe lack of gold using it. Even when expending charges as often as possible.
Questions for MOBAFire:
I'm currently 5/0 with Leona, and 4/0 with Nasus. How far you think I can keep the streak going? ;p
All gold items seem a lot weaker than Talisman of Ascension. I'd just get Targon's Brace early on and swap it out.
As for the streak, you're gonna lose next game with them. >:D

If I can't have a 100% winrate with my Maokai, nobody can have a 100% winrate! >:D
It's okay lugi. win rate doesn't mean jack **** for how good you play a champ. like I had a 20% win rate on Jinx and I was still above average but not good enough to be in top rankings..yet

Game 24:
"Fate is a manifestation of my will."
Thought Process:
I got first pick so I just locked Nasus again. Shyvana wasnt that scary but I rushed Iceborn Gauntlet and then Randuin's Omen to peel Akali and hinder Jinx. Then I bought Spirit Visage once it was clear that Akali was my only true threat. Was gonna finish with Warmog's Armor and either a Thornmail or Ravenous Hydra.
Maxed Wither Second, and I actually ran lifesteal quints this time because I knew Shyvana wouldn't zone me that hard.
Game Summary:
Alot of my lane was just farming. I was outfarming Shyvana early until a stray Akali found her way behind me and killed me. After that I tried to freeze at my turret indefinitely. Akali was fed from first blood on Kha'Zix and Nidalee, but Graves and Leona were doing work at bot. Graves was 8/0 in lane.
However, sadly, Graves complained of lag and randomly left. This was our darkest hour... or 15 minutes or so. They got nearly all of our outer and inner towers before Graves returned. We spent this time defending and farming, and Nidalee got a few clean spear kills on Jinx.
Once we had our MVP came back the roles drastically changed. Akali and everyone else focused our poor beard-man, leaving me to destroy the entire enemy team. After the 6th time they did this, Graves kindly pointed out that he was no longer their main threat. By then the damage was done and we aced them and took their Nexus.
Things I learned:
Always believe. I believed the entire time that Graves would come back, even though my team wanted him reported.
Things to work on:
Got ganked by Akali cause I wasnt paying attention. Gotta be more observant.
Questions for MOBAFire:
What do you do to deal with a DC or leaver?
Bonus Round:
Is it me or is the MMR backwards this season. If I remember correctly, in S3 it was highest MMR to lowest in pick order, correct? This game I was at the top but I was the only silver on my team. Graves was last and he was plat. Did this get flipped around?
