Le Ranked Journey

[quote=R4GE]Since I recently gave up Ranked for a week after having a losing streak and I'm now playing on the EUW server instead, I've decided to start over. Basically Game 4 isn't really Game 4.[/quote]

For some reason I wanted to try out playing Mid, the enemy team picked [[Zed]] and I didn't really think about picking someone who countered him, so I picked [[Annie]]. Tried to harass him, but ended up getting harassed. Got panic attacks and used my ultimate and [[ignite]] without sucess. Both [[Soraka]] and [[Lee Sin]] played for the first time, Lee did do well but [[Soraka]] didn't know how to support, for example she bought a [[sightstone]] without even using it. Maybe I should start focus on playing Support instead.[/center][/quote]

[quote=R4GE][center][color=orange][h1]~ Game 5 ~[/h1][/color] [IMG width=800]http://i.imgur.com/aoRxbeh.png?1[/IMG] [h1][color=#ffff00]~ Closing thoughts ~[/color][/h1] I was worried early in Champion Select, [[Shaco]] started to flame on everyone and everything and I seriously thought he was going to troll. Since I'm sensitive against flamers (If you flame at me, I'll flame at you) I ignored [[Shaco]]. The game could've been shorter since my team didn't want to push to the inhibitors, but it's worth it.[/quote]

[quote=R4GE][center][h1][color=#00ffff]~ Game 6 & 7 ~[/color][/h1] [IMG width=800]http://i.imgur.com/NmkZkal.png?1[/IMG] [IMG width=800]http://i.imgur.com/g1qJqWA.png?1[/IMG] [h1][color=#800080]~ Closing Thoughts ~[/color][/h1] Damn, today was a good day. Won 3/4 games today so I'm currently on 80 LP. I feel like I'm more motivated this time, I won't let any trolls destroy that. Thanks for all of your support ![/quote]

[quote=R4GE][center][h1][color=#ff8000]~ Game 8 ~[/color][/h1] [IMG width=800]http://i.imgur.com/q0ZFFgO.jpg?1[/IMG] [color=#00ff00][h1]~ My Thoughts ~[/h1][/color] [[Lucian]] wasn't comfortable at playing Marksman, he got hit by every single [[Winters bite]] because he stood still while farming. [[Orianna]] died early to [[Ahri]] when she tried to ward and then the game started to suck. Both [[Orianna]] and [[Master Yi]] started to feed. [[Master Yi]] never teamfighted with us, he just ran away with his ultimate. This is why I playing Support is annoying, if you got teammates who feeds the enemyteam then you are screwed because it's not that easy to carry a game as a Support. I should expand my champion pool and start playing Top again.[/quote]

[quote=Emi]To be honest, I find top lane even harder to carry from than support (maybe it's just me, idk) :/ I've always found it to be like an island. From personal experience, I find Mid and Jungle the easiest to carry, both because of the huge amount of map pressure you can generate. Also, I've noticed on your supports that you rarely build [[boots of mobility]]. I really recommend you give them a try and see how you feel :) They're super helpful in letting you get around the map quickly (to ward, to gank, to sweep, etc.) and lets you have a huge impact on what the entire map is doing. Good luck on your ranked journey! I'm sure you'll get to Gold :)[/quote]

[/quote] Carrying by playing top lane is possible if you pick the right champion and play right if getting fed. For instance if you can snowball as [[Irelia]] or [[Ryze]] (like OMG did a few hours ago) you can setup plays around the map. Just pick Teleport and a solid splitpush or mid-game teamfight champion like [[Rumble]].[/quote]

[quote=R4GE]Well, after playing Top one time I've decided to stay away. Just had a terrible game, when your lanes are losing you can't do that much since your lane is so far away. Jungle seems like such a fun role to play but the problem is that I suck (or atleast I think I suck but I haven't even tried seriously). For some reason I avoid [[Boots of mobility]] because it's just for noobs (I've read that statement somewhere but I don't really agree with it but for some reason I believe it). But yeah, I will start buying it. Thanks, but I don't think I'm good enough for hitting Gold :c #confidence[/quote]

[quote=TROLLing1999]@emoriam: Problem is that low elo players have really bad interactions with TP ganks and split pushing. On the other hand, knowledge on matchups and power spikes is also limited. So if you can exploit those two you should be fine in most cases.[/quote]

[quote=R4GE][center][color=#00ffff][h1]~ Game 8 ~[/h1][/color] [IMG width=800]http://i.imgur.com/b5u3Q0i.jpg?1[/IMG] [h5]I don't want to talk about it.[/h5] Seriously, this game was terribad. As I stated in my previous post I wanted to try out Top lane, but I quickly regret it. [[Warwicks]] red buff got invaded, I got poked out of lane by [[Vladimir]] and Bot got wrecked. [[Vi]] got first blood on Bot and then it started to go downwards. [[Warwick]] ganked Mid which ended with [[Orianna]] getting a doublekill (Wasn't the last time). I died to Vladimir once because [[Vi]] came from behind. The game was 0-7 and I lost hope. I succeeded to [[Teleport]] to Bot and got a kill, but that was it. Orianna got more and more fed, [[Vladimir]] got towers and when [[Warwick]] tried to gank but he died. Painful 20 minutes. And I got reported too for no reason, so I'm heppy. Bui Top lane, will never ever ever ever ever [h5]ever ever ever[/h5] see you again.[/quote]
