jhoijhoi's ranked journey of teh luls (oce)

[quote=jhoijhoi]lol Wayne, there was so much wrong with that game. I'm surprised my team didn't dodge when I didn't ban anything :P Thanks for the congratulations! I no longer have to fear ranked, seeing as now I can never be demoted to Silver again. Yay![/quote]

[quote=Berzerk]Gz on your promotion. However you do not truely belong in that league until you go play a game as renekton with the spellsword mastery. ^^[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]gj jhoi! i'd give you a kiss, but i have bad breath. huehuehuehue. =3[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm][quote=jhoijhoi] We help him with blue buff and head down to bot lane. My ADC does a little CSing and Panth suddenly kills Teemo top lane. Good good. It was a kill for a kill, but still good. Meanwhile, Volibear was heading through enemy jungle behind dragon, to gank via tribrush. Soraka's damn silence was a NIGHTMARE that game, as it disabled my ability to stun. However, I stunned Soraka, Volibear slowed her, she flashed and Voli flung her back over to Ashe. I'm not sure what happened, but then I got the kill. [/quote] Yea, [[Volibear]]'s [[rolling thunder]] still has that awesome [[impale]] glitch where if people [[Flash]] when he's doing it, they get flung anyway, and waste [[Flash]]. (Shhhhh. Riot hasn't caught on yet.)[/quote]

I was looking forward to better allies, harder opponents, great games! NOT THE CASE. I was second pick and fourth pick claimed ADC, so I said, "Hey, what support would you like?". They didn't reply, and Taric was taken first pick on the enemy team, so I chose Janna, knowing I'd have to be disengaging a lot of Taric initiates bot lane. Immediately there was an uproar. "Janna is shit", "Worst support evar", "lol wtf y pick janna noob". It completely and utterly amazed me. I said something like, "Janna's really good at disengaging" and was ignored. Enemy team picked Caitlyn. My team picked Sivir. I said, "Dude, you're going to get raped by Caitlyn's long range poke" and I had replies like, "lol" and "spell shield, idiot" and "sivir is beast" amongst generic swearing. What in the actual fuck. Was my team full of retards? But I swallowed my apprehension. Maybe I was wrong? Janna is a bad bad pick? I was surprised when their last pick locked in Fiddlesticks. Really? I would just ult if he ever did... In game, I'm sitting in brush, harassing Taric as much as I can, stealing 3 gold with every hit. I've probably taken at least 50HP off him; no small feat due to his high armour and Janna's pitiful auto's. Caitlyn's poke pushes Sivir off the lane and she says, "zzzz janna ur a pusy" verbatim. At this point I am completely pissed off, especially as my allies are all complaining about everything. I mute them all. Sad thing is, I genuinely think that this was my best support game ever. I saved my allies COUNTLESS times with my ult, my shields, my 'nados and slows. I Exhausted champions left, right and centre. I really and truly did an amazing job at being the support, warding, counter-warding, anything you could ask a support to do. But we still lost, and I was not surprised. I didn't want my team to win. Their attitudes REALLY bugged me. The only decent human being on my team was Lee Sin. We got each other out of a lot of binds and I think we bonded a little. Eugh.[/columns] [columns][IMG=http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h380/thejhoijhoi/41_zps6041b7f5.png width=500] [nextcol][indent][h2][b][color=#0080ff]S3: Game 41[/color] [color=#008000][b]VICTORY[/b][/color][/b][/h2] ----------------------------- [b][color=orange]BANS:[/color][/b] [icon=blitzcrank] [icon=vi] [icon=amumu] [icon=kayle] [icon=nidalee] [icon=elise] If you need help with your games, ask me to duo. Now that I'm Gold, I want to help others get out of "elo hell". I will duo with anyone on MobaFire who has a good standing in this community. That being said, I played with someone you may all remember ^^ He played Ashe and I played Janna and we roflstomped bot lane. We were winning the whole game. As he's low Silver, my team was SO NICE. I cannot believe the difference in attitude the higher elo you get. Just wow. Anyway, we won this game pretty easily. I sacrificed myself a lot during this game, which is why I had so many deaths.[/columns][/quote]

[quote=Hogopogo]Maybe I'll duo after my placement matches^^ Im just starting out in ranked.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]I'll totally take you up on the duo offer again. :p[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][quote=jhoijhoi]I cannot believe the difference in attitude the higher elo you get[/quote] It's not quite that simple, I'm afraid. I find it ironic that an ADC that picks [[Sivir]] (especially into [[Caitlyn]]) even dares complaining about a [[Janna]] pick though.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]There is pretty much absolutely no difference in skill between the teams you got in your last few games of Silver 1 than the teams you get in Gold V. The reason being, the teams you get matched with are still determined by your Elo, now known as MMR, which while you can't see anymore, still exists. When you won your last promotional game, you entered the gold division, but your MMR grew by about 13, making very little difference in the skill of your teams. Think of it as moving from 1490 Elo to 1503 Elo. Yes, you moved from silver to gold, but really, there's absolutely no difference between 1490 Elo and 1503 Elo. :> Maybe you already knew that, but if you didn't, hope that clears it up.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Um, I never said it was a SKILL difference, I meant it was an ATTITUDE difference. At Silver, everyone is desperately trying to get to Gold, so 80% of the time, everyone is super friendly, trying to let everyone play their best roles for the best chance at winning. At Gold, and it's hilarious, because it's only a different BADGE, but STILL, the players are bitchy, pushy and mean. They will pick WHATEVER they want if they are second pick. Even if first pick has secured a support that they will swap last/fourth pick for ADC, second pick will lock in an ADC, screwing everything over. My experiences in Gold have been utterly awful. I've been playing against/with Gold II players and their attitudes have been SO shit, I have muted them in all of my four games played as Gold V. Why are Gold people like this? Because half of them are trolls, knowing they will never drop below gold, and half of them believe they're better than gold (thus better than every single person on their team and the enemy team). tldr; I didn't say SKILL difference. ATTITUDE difference. EDIT: Oh, were you talking about my offhand "hope to versus better opponents" comment at the very top? It was just preamble. In Silver I I was always versus Gold players, so off course the skill wouldn't change immensely once I finally got to Gold as I've already versed gold/had gold on my team.[/quote]
