Jatatoma Journeys Forth - The Good, The Bad and...

[quote=lanilwow]2-21-2015 - Currently: Unranked Time for me to document my journey. Will it be down to Bronze V? Or can I push my way into Silver? Can I handle the heat and salt or will I quiver and run back to Care Bare Bots? I'm level 29 and closing in on 30. I don't expect to be an awesome player, but I do hope to have fun! I want to document some of the journey here in case I ever want to look back on it. Here is my current list of champs I feel I can play: (updated 2-21-2015) Arranged by favorite position and favorite champ. [b]Support[/b] [[janna]] [[morgana]] [b]Jungle[/b] [[Master Yi]] [[jarvan iv]] [[wukong]] [b]Mdi[/b] [[ahri]] [b]Top[/b] [[jarvan iv]] [[wukong]] [[warwick]] [b]ADC[/b] [[corki]] [[ashe]] I am want to learn the following champs and am currently practicing: [[thresh]] [[katarina]] [[leona]] [[jayce]] [[jinx]] [[graves]] Time to journey forth![/quote]

[quote=utopus]To be honest, I'd recommend you hold off on ranked until you have at least 4 rune pages. /.02c[/quote]

[quote=lanilwow]Thank you all! Now to get 30... I did not feel well last weekend and failed to play enough games get to 30... My first goal is so close. I need 1,500 more exp! This weekend, maybe? Thank you for the recommendation on the rune pages. I think I'm good. I have 5 pages with one page devoted to each position. Optimized for my preferred champ.[/quote]

[quote=hecarefree][quote=utopus]To be honest, I'd recommend you hold off on ranked until you have at least 4 rune pages. /.02c[/quote] I got to diamond w/ high d3/d2 mmr w/ 2 rune pages, lol. @Lanilwow 1500 exp shouldn't take too long, easily doable in a weekend, gl man. :D[/quote]

[quote=lanilwow]So Close!!!! [URL=http://s484.photobucket.com/user/kittah1298/media/So%20Close.jpg.html][IMG]http://i484.photobucket.com/albums/rr205/kittah1298/So%20Close.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Ok, one more!!![/quote]

[quote=lanilwow]Finally 30! Now the real work can begin! But I'm worn out! I think a good nap is in order, probably last till Monday night! [img=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bxX4xwURg9Q/T5xKXZ3_WPI/AAAAAAAAGEc/9DV0xtyuZkk/s200/exhausted+cat.bmp][/quote]

[quote=lanilwow]Since I hit 30 I've been playing normal blind pick. I'm working on the basics for jungle and support. [b][color=#00ff00]The Good:[/color][/b] 1) Good early game. Either in support or jungle. I can hold my own for my MMR rating during lane phase. a) If my ADC can CS we can win lane. If not I can usually get us to freeze. I can keep myself and my ADC alive the majority of the time in lane phase. If they don't all in at dumb times. (basic stuff) b) Jungle - I can clear jungle, control my jungle (most of the time), gank or at least zone the enemy by level 3 on my junglers. I can usually control river vision. [b][color=#ffff00]The Bad[/color][/b] 1) Need to get better at poking during lane phase with support. 2) Not always knowledgeable on itemization. Especially on jungler. I have item sets prepared from guides, but sometimes I know I have to get off script, but I don't always know what I need at those moments. ie heavy AD team buy armor... that one is easy. Other game situations confuse me. I know I am not optimizing but I don't always know the answer. 3) Dragon awareness. We lost 4 uncontested dragons in a row last game because we did not even know they were on him. AND I was jungle. Shame on me! [b][color=#ff0000]The Ugly[/color][/b] 1) Positioning in team fights!!! In my opinion one of my biggest problems! I can go X/0/Y during lane phase and end up X/2X/Y at the end of the game![/quote]
