Neo's ELO Tour!

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 155[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/lUi2cu1.jpg width=800] [/center] This was a much closer game that it should've been. [[diana]] went afk during champ select, and didnt change her summoner spells after [[rek'sai]] said he'd be jungling. So she kinda got shit on in lane. Thankfuly, a fed [[olaf]] top was able to carry the game for us[/quote]

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 156[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/f7a4v9B.png width=800] [/center] Just an overall great game. Having played some games as [[soraka]], this is now how I feel when I'm supporting an ADC that's not soraka: (start at 2:50) [embed=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWaodAu6uLM][/embed] Although I fed an early first blood, I was able to get [[tristana]] a double kill early on that solidified her lead, and perpetually kept [[caitlyn]] out of the game. We spotted [[caitlyn]] recalling, and initiated a 5b4 following her base, which allowed us to close out the game[/quote]

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 157[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/yYNGTJc.png width=800] [/center] Smooth game. It took my duo a while to realize that taking losing trades... wasn't actually a losing trade so long as i didn't take damage, and he stayed alive. I had a couple of misplays with a late [[wish]] once, and getting caught while typing another time, but overall a pretty smooth game. Had I not jumped 2 divisions in 1 week, I probably wouldn't have considered shooting for diamond before the season ends. Maybe this narwhal will get me to diamond. You never know! Currently standing at Plat 3 24 LP[/quote]

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 158[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/N422E12.jpg width=800] [/center] Pretty close game, as you can see from the scoreboard. One thing that I'm going to keep in mind later on is to unconditionally dodge games where my teammates lock in [[nasus]], because seriously the past 6 nasuses i've played with/against have all been total shit. This guy was no exception. Not only did he suck mechanically, he had no map vision. We were winning a 4v5 team fight, and he refused to TP in to help us because his 300 stack sorry ass wouldn't contribute anything. Please. It's not even that he has to deal damage. He just has to tank shit for fizz and... yeah. only really fizz. Jinx was okay, but she really didn't play much of a factor in this game. Lane went okay. It should've gone a lot better than it did, but [[lee sin]] was camping us early, and [[thresh]] ran [[ignite]] so some amount of respect was paid. Fizz fed a fb to lee before minions spawned, but somehow came ahead of heimer with like 3 kills pre 5 minutes. I was kinda surprised, but anyways, once team fights started to get rolling, we started getting our momentum back. Fizz would catch someone, kill them, come out with 20% hp, and i'd heal him up enough for him to repeat the process.[/quote]

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 159[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/kAi7aMI.jpg width=800] [/center] This was a tame game. There was very little action in bot lane; Even though [[jinx]] was told many times that we win trades so long as she doesn't die, and I don't get focused, she played VERY paranoid, [[flash]]ing many times when it just plain was unnecessary. I was able to help out [[vlad]] and [[zed]] make stupid plays in their solo lanes, and having them get away with it thanks to [[wish]] though. That felt very satisfying[/quote]

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 160[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/FD7lGFP.jpg width=800] [/center] This was also a very interesting game. Bot lane was pretty calm for the most part, although blitz and I sorta won bot. He had some heat seeking hooks that really set the game back in motion. This blitz had a 75% win rate over 50 games, so it was pretty nice to carry with someone who really knew their champion. [[ahri]] and [[garen]] got fed off their solo laners a TON though, so I think that my win was largely free thanks to their success. It gets me worried about the games to come where my solo laners lose lane T,T I'm pretty happy with the progress i've been making towards diamond. I'm starting to really think that D5 is a realistic goal to reach within the next 2 weeks[/quote]

[quote=utopus][center][size=5] Game 161[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/SWZujow.jpg width=800] [/center] What a shitty game. Soraka and I won lane. HARD. It was like, 70 cs to 16 at one point. Unfortunately, [[malzahar]] got really far ahead of [[kassadin]] and would instakill anyone on our team with a rotation of spells. [[jinx]] wasn't very good either. I'm a little annoyed that her stats sheet reflect her doing so well when [[gnar]], [[malzahar]], and [[rek'sai]] REALLY carried the game hard for her[/quote]

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 162 [/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/hW528CA.jpg width=800] [/center] The [[vayne]] i was supporting was OK. We were winning lane, but [[ekko]] did this annoying brush gank, and thanks to [[zilean]]'s speed boost, we couldn't react well, even if the gank was telegraphed. Our mid lane lost lane, and our top lane REALLY lost lane. This set us back so far that the game was unwinnable[/quote]

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 163[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/QlHQvYc.jpg width=800] [/center] [[caitlyn]] and I won lane bot thanks to some good outplays. Cait got a double kill, and later, a triple kill under turret. [[twisted fate]] also played well, so the game ended quite smoothly[/quote]

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 165 [/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/9gzGprj.jpg width=800] [/center] Pretty sad about this game. We had the tools to win, but not the coordination. The [[annie]] got caught out a ton, and [[malphite]] would have shitty ultis. I had some good saves, but a tricky catch when our opponents were contesting 4th dragon allowed them to close out the game.[/quote]
