Lugignaf's S3 Ranked failures!

[quote=Lugignaf][spoiler=Ranked game results so far!][embed=http://imgur.com/a/rrIXz][/spoiler] So, started up ranked again after the nice little ELO reset and ending about 13XX last season. All games are [i]after[/i] my placements and I'm aiming for like, low gold as a worst case scenario and low plat at a best case. Probably not going to have a lot of time to play though because of school and trying to get a job and other...shitty... life things, but I will play to the best of my ability otherwise! [h1]Current Division: [color=green][b]Platinum 4[/b][/color][/h1] [center][h2] Game 1, January 12th[/h2] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/yODoK.jpg[/IMG] Bans [[Blitzcrank]],[[Amumu]],[[Evelynn]]/[[Malphite]],[[Kha'Zix]],[[Shen]] Jungle [[Maokai]] game that started off sour when their Olaf stole my wraiths/red early on. Seeing double cleanse on the ADCs was a bit weird, until I remembered that both teams had good, deadly CC ([[Twisted advance]], [[Dazzle]]/[[Aegis of Zeonia]]) Olaf ganked bot at level 2 and got nothing. Seeing as I couldn't turn it around from where I was, I just continued farming the jungle. Another gank went sour for him and I started camping bot. It worked out giving me first blood right before our Garen got a kill. All in all, we snowballed hard and made very few mistakes. They didn't have a coherent team who could make use of their buffs. Maokai's stats in ranked, 3/1[/center][/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Don't take this the wrong way, but what makes you think you can reach platinum if your rating at the end of last season was 13XX? Is it a case of you improving a lot since playing those games, not having played a lot of ranked last season or........? Good luck ^^[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]I literally stopped playing at about 13XX. Now that I think about it, I think I was just barely 1400. Early plat is...1800 or something, right? But, yea. I've improved a lot since last season. Better mechanics overall, larger varieties of champs to play as well as roles.[/quote]

[quote=Aseafy]I think you should have bought mobility boots or mercury treads this game, because olaf and pantheon do not rely on autoattacks, rather their abilities. If you felt u were lacking armor, randuins would give you enough. Mobility boots especially on a gank jungler is the best choice in my opinion. Just my thoughts.[/quote]

[/quote] Normally I would have, but everyone had boots 2 by that point and, I needed another source of armor. This was not my standard Maokai game by a long shot. I didn't really have enough money until late game, after "securing" a double kill, to build any big items as my team didn't really need my help with lanes so, I couldn't gank. I did however win bot lane with the first blood.[/quote]

[quote=Mikuroo]you should have bought boots of mobility before finishing other items then, as it allows you to have more presence. I watch stonewall, who always gets boots of mobility before upgrading his machete.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]I too find [[Maokai]] very slow and i prefer buying [[Boots of Mobility]] for him. His ganks become a bit scarier.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]lol Wayne. Ouch. Isn't it fair to say that Lugi can reach gold from 1300 like you are 1300 this season? :P I got gold, so anyone can. I just need to hold it. glhf, Lugi![/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]I was just asking =O [h5]also -for the record- I was asking about platinum, not gold. Oh, and I'm 1418 by now, hue[/h5][/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]For anyone asking... http://gyazo.com/a35804972676fa9d8beba77ebfde335b That's what I have for runes http://gyazo.com/39b4655d9c28fa7fbbb9b0b0766b03ce And that's what I have for masteries. It serves me well in terms of speed.[/quote]
