Neo's ELO Tour!

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 174[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/kbL2MOF.jpg width=800] [/center] This was a pretty intense game. Our team was behind early game; The [[wukong]] died a lot to [[renekton]], and some miscommunication between [[lucian]] and me made me die very early in the laning phase. Strong team play allowed us to turn this game around despite being down a 6k gold lead [spoiler=replay.gg code] Copy and paste this into your command prompt while league is open to view a replay of this game [code] powershell clear;if(Get-Process \"LolClient\" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue){$ErrorActionPreference=\"Stop\";$c=New-Object Net.Sockets.TcpClient;$c.Connect(\"127.0.0.1\",8393);$c.GetStream().write((16,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,69,0,0,0,114,101,112,108,97,121,32,114,101,112,108,97,121,46,103,103,58,56,48,56,48,32,73,107,90,98,117,89,56,68,121,114,66,89,119,86,106,106,117,57,50,117,51,90,120,65,84,69,101,88,77,71,73,105,32,50,48,53,53,49,50,50,55,52,53,32,78,65,49),0,85);Exit;}\"Error.

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 175[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/kbL2MOF.jpg width=800] [/center] This game was very confusing. I landed some great hooks to stifle [[nidalee]]'s first clear, and to get FB and second blood onto my ADC, however it took a long time to really close out the game. [[jayce]] got ahead early and basically him and [[nidalee]] would one shot our fed [[tristana]] right after i hooked a priority target. There was also some BS about [[jayce]] not instadying even after i hooked him into the center of my team. Thankfully, that stopped happening after our team started building more damage items and we were able to instakill him. I felt bad for [[caitlyn]]. She was never able to play the game, because I landed lots of hooks onto her.

[[brand]] and MF lost lane slightly from several close all ins, but brand must've tilted or something, because he basically pulled a hoppermh and left MF all by her lonesome in bot lane for a long time. Some OK pillars on my end were able to stop most counterplay, and we were able to close out the game smoothly.

A really important shotcall was made early on to call the [[aatrox]] to start with his buff to avoid the evelynn cheese, which i believe was attempted, and then failed - since aatrox wasn't there. [[evelynn]] never really got back into the game and died over and over again due to her lack of [[flash]]. Ziggs was doing a good job stalling out an already lost game, but [[banner of command]] was itemized as insurance that ziggs wouldn't be able to waveclear forever. Some pretty hilarious dives happened though. I think 4 of our team dived past 2 mid lane turrets without minions, got some kills, and none of us died from it xDD just as an FYI, [[alistar]] usually loses to a [[soraka]] lane, unless he pulls off some godlike flash plays.

Thankfully, the [[miss fortune]]'s punish game was weak; really the only person who was fed this game was [[rengar]] who for some reason really took a liking to assassinating me in fights instead of my teammates.

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 179[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/8NPUxKm.jpg width=800] [/center] My [[soraka]] was banned, and my [[janna]] was picked away from me, so ultra tilt mode happened. Because i was last pick red side (aka the bitch pick :[ ) I was able to counterpick my opponents all AD team with someone with reliable, fast, hard CC. I decided on [[braum]], but now that i think about it, [[alistar]] may have been a little better ([[tahm kench]] was banned). I played like crap, but it didn't really matter because the [[riven]] was so deadweight that [[zed]] couldn't carry her, or his deadweight jungler [[master yi]].

The [[vayne]] was totally fearless, opting to pick [[cleanse]] instead of [[heal]. Despite the lack of [[exhaust]], the lane went quite smoothly for us. [[leona]] simply couldn't close the distance to really kill either of us, or get us to critical health levels. While this was happening, [[lee sin]] really camped top hard and got [[shen]] really far ahead. Some nice targeting along with my disengage allowed us to often times get 1-2 kills on our opponents and then retreat from a fight with most of the team being below 30% hp. It's nice to finally play ranked again[/quote]

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 3[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/n2SqHKz.png width=800] [/center] [url=http://www.replay.gg/search/na/keanu reeves#2096448390]Replay gg link[/url] Fun game - We did a really early invade and hilariously got first blood on the [[zac]], despite the fact that he saw us. It was so funny too. It was like, he walked right by us and we were like ??? do we keep going? After the first blood, the game was really solid for us. I did a REALLY good job of tracking [[zac]]'s map movements, and [[wukong]] is a really strong counterganker. A really nice countergank got [[wukong]] ahead, and some nice [[flash]] [[pulverize]]s by me cleaned up kills. A nice 12(?)' ace sealed the deal and allowed for a clean victory.[/quote]

[quote=utopus][center][size=5]Game 4[/size] [img=http://i.imgur.com/befIRNK.png width=800] [/center] [url=http://www.replay.gg/search/na/keanu reeves#2096520357]Replay gg link[/url] This was a mixed game. We had an EXCELLENT level 1 fight that resulted in a 3 for 1. [[braum]] >> [[blitzcrank]] @ level 1 fights TIL haha. I had some great plays on [[ezreal]] too. [[blitzcrank]] would sometimes pull [[lucian]], and I'd just [[stand behind me]] to him and [[unbreakable]] all of [[ezreal]]'s autoattack damage, while getting [[concussive blows]] stacks off on him. there were actually many instances where one or both of us would live with like ~10% HP, or less - to the point where [[dangerous game]] would seriously keep us alive. I did get caught at other times though. There was one point where we threw our lead. [[elise]] and I got pincered with a [[teleport]] around river. I mistakenly ran towards it thinking that it was my teammate's teleport :S His TP was on cd though. Aside from that, i was really happy with my play. I picked [[braum]] as a counterpick to [[master yi]], and it largely worked. [[master yi]] wasn't really much of a threat to anyone except the [[irelia]] that he was camping lol[/quote]

What a disappointing game! I was on point with my [[dark binding]]s, but unfortunately, some hesitation on [[black shield]] caused some unnecessary deaths early on. Unfortunately, [[rengar]] made a REALLY good roam bot that went largely unpunished. He got ahead, and got to the point where he would either 1 combo my ADC, or die and get [[caitlyn]] forced out of the fight. I was largely unhappy with [[wukong]] and [[trundle]]'s play this game, but I guess my play wasn't a high enough caliber to really make me deserve this win.

Unfortunately, a failed dive mid lane caused [[jax]] to get SUPER fed. [[ahri]] simply didn't have the damage to really kill [[jax]] with [[janna]]'s shields and [[lulu]]'s heals. [[xin zhao]] fell behind to the point of irrelevance, and that's all she wrote[/quote]

I don't think that [[lulu]] + [[kog'maw]] was actually a good lane. In our lane, we got REALLY poked hard though, and our jungler neglected to gank us in favor of mid, despite the fact that a lot of the lane (~65% of the time), the opponent lane was very gankable.

Our [[lucian]] was REALLY bad, and didn't trade well, even when i landed [[concussive blows]] and [[winter's bite]] on [[kalista]], he would take a losing trade and run away as opposed to stunning [[kalista]].[/quote]
