Going for Gold in nine days

[quote=Latest Legend]So I'm in Silver 1 at the moment, and I'm going to try to get Gold before the season ends. Reasons: free [[morgana]] and my sister got Gold and she's annoying. I promise I'll only vent about the games here :D What I usually pick in solo queue: Top: [[ryze]], [[shen]], [[irelia]] Jungle: [[lee sin]], [[jarvan iv]] Mid: [[katarina]] Support: [[leona]], [[janna]], [[master yi]] Marksman: [[ezreal]], [[tristana]] My main focus is top lane. I'll open this thread with a loss, so that it can only get better.

Only real downside of laning phase was that [[katarina]] decided to dive at level 3. And top lane was having issues. [[katarina]] came bot a lot but we were at their turret all the time so it was kinda useless for the most part. We were able to win most teamfights regardless of being behind in gold all the time, but at the end they took a free baron, people got caught and shit happened. We were going to wait out the baron buff but suddenly [[leona]] went in while I was at the other side of the inhib clearing the wave. By the time I was in a good position the fight was practically lost. They also had drake control for the whole game.[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend][quote=Janitsu][img=http://puu.sh/cA9XP/5f6630ed0e.png] if u want ez wins pick corkki[/quote]Thanks, but I suck at the marksman role. I'll consider getting him though. (Also pls you can still rek gold with ap rivne but I can't) [url=http://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/1802865937/35085453][img]http://a.pomf.se/lmntkm.png[/img][/url] It got better! The [[Sona]] guy was like "I want mid" but then he suddenly picked [[sona]] because he thought [[morgana]] was going mid, probably because of the [[ignite]] or something. So I muted LoL music, put on 60 minutes of Für Elise and went for it. Luckily she held out pretty well against [[zed]] so that she could carry and stuff. Actually I was the scrublord giving first blood to [[renekton]], after two ganks from [[lee sin]] but still. Then he zoned me from farm and I had to lay low until the rekking train started. I gave [[renekton]] my tower so that I could get some farm back, and then he decided to just overextend at top lane all day while I went for teamfights and teleported back just before he started killing my turret. So I kinda lost my lane the hard way but I managed to get back on my feet by roaming and participating in all teamfights while [[renekton]] was doing nothing at top lane. And I got tons of money because of ~6 towers and 4 drakes.[/quote]

[quote=Out Of Pancakes]Good luck! :) And by the way, how comes you got [[master yi]] in your Support champion pool ?[/quote]

[quote=mastrer1000][quote=Out Of Pancakes]Good luck! :) And by the way, how comes you got [[master yi]] in your Support champion pool ?[/quote] It works like [[Nidalee]] "support" used to work.[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]Thanks! It's a joke, but if you play it like [[nidalee]] it can indeed "work".[/quote]

[quote=mastrer1000]Btw was there a specific reason for getting [[Spirit Visage]] instead of [[Banshee's Veil]]? bv offers better stats(the cdr on sv should be wasted if you get 10% cdr from runes or masteries or blue buff) and its passive is better as well imo.[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]Not really, it was a hard decision to make, they didn't really have hard CC initiations(except [[renekton]], but he wouldn't end up in my face) so I figured I could use [[spirit visage]]'s passive more with the ult. This was the last item I bought by the way. Thanks for the feedback, I'll give [[banshee's veil]] some more thought next time. Gotta respect the [[ryze]] master :D[/quote]

[quote=mastrer1000]I obviously didn't watch the game so I don't know all the circumstances, but I prohably would have gone for [[void staff]] instead of either of the items because they didn't really have magic damage other than soraka.[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]Basically I noticed we didn't have much tankinesss so I wanted to get some HP. Maybe [[randuin's omen]] or [[warmog's armor]] would've been better for that. I was planning to get [[void staff]] after that.[/quote]
