An Expected Journey: S5 ranked with Nameless

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]kinda feel like I should give [[Nami]] a rest for the moment. Not exactly having the greatest luck with her. [img=http://i.imgur.com/kiWHHeO.png width=900] I wanted to use lolking for this, but they're not updated for s5 yet.[/quote]

Not sure if I'm actually right about that, but they both thanked me for the great suggestion. Apparently sounding confident that something will work out is good enough to give other people the idea it'll work out too. [*] Overall really nice teammates (super positive, even though there were mistakes made), I enjoyed this match a lot. [/list] [color=#ff0000]Areas where improvement is needed:[/color] [list] [*] Not amazing vision control, could have turned it up a notch, but got lazy because the enemy team had no vision anyways.[/list] notes: [list] [*] 27 lp for a win. Not bad. [/list] [/columns][/quote]

So much so that [[Ashe]] thanked me several times for it [*] Ok, now I feel like I actually had good vision control. [*] My positive attitude kept my allies positive! Also [[Ashe]] took my advice for some strange reason. [/list] [color=#ff0000]Areas where improvement is needed:[/color] [list] [*] Need to time [[Exhaust]] better. It was usually good enough to just silence [[Fiora]], but a couple times getting the [[Exhaust]] on her would have nullified a lot of damage from her ult. [*] Really was feeling the lack of CC, probably should have played [[Braum]] like I was going to originally. [/list] notes: [list] [*] 28 lp for a win. Also not bad. [*] Yes, my friends, that is an AD Bruiser [[LeBlanc]]. They were mad [[Veigar]] took mid and decided to "troll"...unfortunately for said [[LeBlanc]], [[Fiora]] fed it. [/list] [/columns][/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard][quote=Vapora Dark]Spirit Visage on a build with 0 sustain. Legit.[/quote]Clearly it was because of me, I mean who needs to buy sustain when you have a [[Soraka]]. 8D I should feel special or something.[/quote]

[/list] [color=#ff8000]after watching the replay:[/color] [list] [*] using CC on hourglass'd targets is pointless, need to time things better or pay more attention in teamfights. [*] couple of stupid dives and times where I was trying to be frontline as glass cannon [[Zyra]] handed a free kill to the enemy. [/list] notes: [list] [*] 29 lp for a win. sweeeet. [*] [[Zyra]] is fun and I seem to have magically gotten better by not playing her. [*] People in this elo waste so much time. We could have ended the game about 7 minutes earlier except [[Amumu]] left to solo a dragon. Then when we could just end it they chased the [[nami]] around for 10-15 seconds while I (dead at the time from turret aggro + [[Vladimir]] ult) pinged the nexus and told them to "ignore her and end the game already" multiple times. [*] I've been rushing [[Morellonomicon]] after [[Sightstone]], is that ok or should I be rushing [[Liandry's Torment]]? [/list] [/columns][/quote]

Keep it up! :)[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard][quote=Vapora Dark]http://www.probuilds.net/champions/Zyra[/quote]so, D. none of the above. thanks! [quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]They didn't have any tanks, so I'd go Mrellos.[/quote]That's not why I'd rush either of them. It's just that omnomnomicon is less expensive, gives nice chunk of AP, and lowers the CD on [[Stranglethorns]] by a fair amount. [quote=Wayne3100]Called it. Keep it up! :)[/quote]You did, it's true. I'll continue to do the best I can. Also this is right up there with me telling Nick last night that I felt like I'd magically gotten better at the game by not doing anything and him being like "you mean you can't put two and two together on this?" (I moved and instantly had a much more positive outlook on everything). Unrelated: I swapped [[Nami]] for [[Soraka]] for the time being. I feel like I can pretty much deal with anything [[Nami]] can between [[Janna]] and [[Soraka]] and I'm having better luck with both of them atm.[/quote]
