Electro's Quest for Gold

[quote=Electro522]Alright! I admit, I lied. I couldn't stay away from ranked, especially with the possibility of getting a Victorious Morgana skin (she's one of my most favorite champions, and I have owned her for a very long time). This thread won't be active as other ranked quest threads, because I will only post significant games, such as games that go for more then an hour. So far, I've played 4 games in silver, and won each and every one. :D Thus, I currently have 77 LP points in Silver 5. My goal? Reach gold before November. Why? I REALLY WANT THAT VICTORIOUS MORGANA SKIN!!!! This is no small feat by any means, for I have seen people struggle for 2 years in order to reach gold. CAN I BEAT THE STRUGGLE?!?!? In all honesty, I don't think so. I know its bad to have that mentality, but I have this gut feeling that this odd winning streak will come back and bite me in the ass, essentially keeping me from that all allusive Silver to Gold promo. BUT, no harm in trying right? Besides, if I don't make it this season, I can try again next season. So, shall we begin? P.S. I haven't forgotten about the Reviews! In fact, I'm just about done with my next request.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Good luck! Will be cheering you on :) You can do it! I actually like the look of the Victorious Morgana skin, so I'm happy to be getting it for this season :D[/quote]

[quote=Electro522]Im already in my Silver 5 to 4 promo, and have already won a game in it. If I keep it up at this rate, I'll be in gold before the end of September.[/quote]

[quote=Electro522][img=http://i.imgur.com/1RuzSRH.png?1] And I'm in Silver 4. I'll be honest, I was a little worried in champ select. I was going to go top, and switch with Naut of whom wanted to support. I grabbed Leona, and he was going to grab Garen for me. But Zed pulled a fast one, and decided to refuse to jungle, which was the only option left. Jayce wanted mid, but we were begging him to go top, so he got mad, cause he felt Zed was trolling. Once the game started, Zed actually listened to us, and went top, so Jayce took mid. After that.....EVERY. LANE. WON! Trist and I inherently raped bot, Akali couldn't do a damn thing against Jayce, and Zed had the only lane that was equal. Jarvan had to be the worst Jarvan either team had seen in a long time, and his duo partner, Akali, wasn't that great either. Did I think that I could get to Silver 4 without a single loss? No, the thought never crossed my mind, but, amazingly, it happened. So, I have one last thing to say: [size=6][b]GOLD, HERE I COME!!!!!!![/b][/size][/quote]

[quote=Emi]Congrats Electro! :D I'm sure you'll get to Gold~ On a side note, why'd you buy [[iceborn gauntlet]]? I get that it gives a ton of armor and 10% CDR, but the AP doesn't go quite as far on Leona and the mana isn't really necessary :/ I personally like building [[randuin's omen]]/[[locket of the iron solari]] more, cause they give you plenty of health/armor/MR as well as "supportive" stats/actives ^_^[/quote]

[quote=Electro522]Well, its on the recommended items list for Leona (I have yet to make an item set for her), and, I don't know. It feels right on her, especially with the fact that it procs off of her q. Also, I normally build [[locket of the iron solari]] on my supports anyway. More then likely, I was going to build it next.[/quote]

[quote=Emi]Well, your build is your build, but I would recommend at least giving [[randuin's omen]] a try ^_^ It makes you super tanky, and the active is always nice for peeling :D[/quote]

[quote=Electro522][img=http://i.imgur.com/MPDaAtP.png?1 width=900] I knew it would come at some point: a loosing streak that puts me down a division. I didn't go down without a fight though. I go 13/7 as Morde, and lose only because the other team hunted me down with a vengence. Every time I showed my face, the entire team would use whatever resources it could in order to kill me, whether it cost their life or not. Apparently, my team couldn't finish any job I started either, because whenever I was alive was the only time enemies would die. I guess thats what carrying is all about. Also, Ziggs said "Trash talking Morde". In all honesty, I believe I had a right to trash talk. Each of my seven deaths did not come without their toll. Either I would kill someone, or get 3 of them below 50% health. They honestly needed 4 or 5 people in order to kill me. Any less, and I probably would have won a 3v1 (and it would be even harder if Leona was with me). Not mention, I got first blood not only onto Panth, but Vi too! They were low enough for my [[siphon of destruction]] to kill them both in one shot, giving me a double kill and first blood all in one! I'd say I'm not ashamed of that game. It was hard fought, and quite close. In fact, I think the only thing that kept them from losing was Ziggs. We could never get past his wave clear, so sieging turrets was a real pain. It took us a good 15 minutes to take down the outer mid lane tower simply because of him. When we got to the inhib line is when I started getting focused to hell, which made it even harder. Even in a team fight, they would ignore everyone else, and use everything they had on me. My team was short work afterwards. Oh well. My quest shall continue! I still want that Morgana skin, and I will try with all my might in order to GET THAT SKIN!!![/quote]

[quote=Foxy Riven]Nobody ever has the right to trashtalk my friend, keep that in mind. You'll get there, I'm cheering![/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]I'm sure some would argue with me about this, but I think that trash talking puts you in one of two moods: 1) over-confident (thus prone to silly mistakes) 2) riled up Both are not great for winning a game. Sometimes it's best to just turn all-chat off. I remember when I used to say, "Ha! It took 5 of you to kill me!"; in the end, they killed you, it doesn't matter if it took 1 or 5, you're still dead. ^^[/quote]
