S5 Ranked: One Way Ticket to Hell

[quote=Latest Legend]Du pain, du vin, du loss prevente Better thank Rito kappa Good luck EDIT: I guess that should be "de la loss" according to prevente, right?[/quote]

[quote=Thalia Kael]If you still haven't decided what champion to main, [[Yasuo]] is really fun and has a high skill cap, can be played mid or top. [[Cassiopeia]] is also a good choice, can be played mid or top, fun to play, etc[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]Who is Wayne in your screenshots? Is he better than Wayne3100?[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Loads. Haven't been playing because my internet isn't great atm, need to contact my ISP to fix that first. Will probably play shortly before decaying (in a little over 2 weeks from now) and make a push for Diamond near the end of the month.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][center][size=5][color=red]Game 192[/color][/size][/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/YzwXJI5.png width=700][/center] Well, at least the good news after this game is I stopped the decay. My internet has also been a lot better recently, so it seems like I won't have to worry about that for now. Despite being happy about my own play this game, I have a 9% win rate in normals (1-10) since I started playing again, so I'm not exactly motivated to play more. Will push for diamond once I learn to play this game.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Yeeeeeeaaah... :P I wasn't going to talk about Joxuu's performance that game, but what basically happened is he gave jungle to our fourth pick in champ select because the guy was complaining about being bad at ADC [i]and[/i] top (the only two roles which no one had called) and then saw the guy pick [[Udyr]] and mention we had to "play safe" because he wasn't going to gank for the first 15 minutes (by which point he promised he'd have finished his sated Devourer). Needless to say Joxuu got ganked by the enemy [[Lee Sin]] about 3 minutes in, and - after dying to that - the first gank [[Udyr]] gave him resulted in double buff being transferred to the enemy [[Gragas]]. He basically tried to keep pushing top to gain Lee's attention after this (hoping we would be able to take objectives during this time elsewhere), and though that worked out for us sometimes there were also moments at which we weren't even in position to push for anything and I felt like Joxuu shouldn't have been top (which I told him during the game as well). The rest of the team simply thought he was trolling (despite him communicating his intentions clearly several times), I know he wasn't but think he should've chosen his moments better.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Oops, forgot to post about these games, played them a few days ago. [center][size=5][color=red]Game 193 + 194[/color][/size][/center] [table width=900] [tr] [td width=25][/td] [td width=400][url=http://i.imgur.com/uULlUjO.png][img=http://i.imgur.com/uULlUjO.png width=400][/url][/td] [td width=25][/td] [td width=400][url=http://i.imgur.com/uy44vVL.png][img=http://i.imgur.com/uy44vVL.png width=400][/url][/td] [td width=25][/td] [/tr] [/table] In both of these games, I was relatively even in lane (slightly ahead in cs), then got some kills during the mid ganks due to good ganks / dragon fights and found myself having a 7-1 score. The difference between the two games was that their top [[Riven]] got fed in the first one (and our [[Gangplank]] gave up all hope when the game was still winnable) while in the second game the other lanes were all fairly even, allowing us to win teamfights. Though I'm relatively happy about my own performance in these games, there were some moments where I died unnecessarily simply because I tunneled on an opponent and forgot to keep an eye on my own health :x So yeah, I've got something to work on there. 4 LP gained \o/[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][center][size=5][color=red]Game 195 + 196[/color][/size][/center] [table width=900] [tr] [td width=25][/td] [td width=400][url=http://i.imgur.com/4d7A1bc.png][img=http://i.imgur.com/4d7A1bc.png width=400][/url][/td] [td width=25][/td] [td width=400][url=http://i.imgur.com/OSmSj05.png][img=http://i.imgur.com/OSmSj05.png width=400][/url][/td] [td width=25][/td] [/tr] [/table] First game was a relatively easy win, our mid lane got First Blood within about 10 seconds of laning against [[Yasuo]] and [[Vayne]] gave up on bot lane (and the game in general) after an early [[Fiddlesticks]] gank netted us a kill on her. We had a couple of unnecessary deaths in the mid game (which were caused mainly by overconfidence), but in the end there really was only going to be one winner. Game two was a lot more even, mainly because we gave the enemy team a bunch of towers for free by not grouping early enough in the mid game, at which point they actually took the gold lead (which we had after a good start to the game) from us. Luckily, we recovered from this quite well and managed to get a bunch of decisive teamfight wins after this, which of course also led to some secured objectives. As we eventually started pushing into their base, two of our members overstayed and died, which gave them an opportunity to get Baron and maybe make a bit of a comeback.
