S5 Ranked: One Way Ticket to Hell

[quote=koksei]maybe you should just get super fucked up so you can't remember being in promotions and then play em. Sounds mad genius to me[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][center][size=5][color=red]Game 207[/color][/size][/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/HRBAjib.png width=700][/center] I was second pick on purple team in this game, having to pick at the same time as a teammate who claimed mid lane. After seeing the enemy team first pick [[Irelia]] and seeing my mid laner instalock [[Lulu]], there was really only one champion I was ever going to play: [[Olaf]]. Because the enemy team had [[Blitzcrank]], we expected an invade and waited as 5 for them to come and play. 52 seconds into the game, that decision netted me First Blood. As you can tell from my [url=http://i.imgur.com/LxAN9nw.jpg]lead over Irelia during the midgame[/url], it also decided my lane, and since both other lanes were also doing well the game quickly became pretty onesided. [[Xin Zhao]] was the only champion we had to worry about on their team, but ultimately there was just no way he was gonna turn the game in their favour.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Damn son, reinforcing the "[[Olaf]] is actually broken but why doesn't anyone play him ever" stereotype. Also, digging the new avatar.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Well, maybe his popularity will increase now that he's being played in LCS so often. Thanks, all credit for that goes to MissMaw though :P ----- [center][size=5][color=red]Game 208[/color][/size][/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/zqhHXwh.png width=700][/center] Too many games being lost in champion select recently. I guess if I had known that my support and jungler (who were both forced into the role) didn't have a tanky option to play I might not have picked [[Kennen]], but realistically I'm not sure how I could've anticipated that. The [[Jinx]] pick into a team with [[Wukong]]/[[Riven]] was also questionable considering we already had the problem of having one immobile target for them to jump on ([[Syndra]]); I don't think adding more made much sense. In terms of my gameplay, I think I could've been more aggressive in lane against [[Lulu]] early on (I was [i]really[/i] nervous due to being so close to promos again.. >.>), but overall I played decent. Sad game, not much to add.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][center][size=5][color=red]Game 209[/color][/size][/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/ZbuoRZJ.png width=700][/center] Not gonna lie, I'm pretty damn bad at this game. Luckily we managed to win despite that.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Tried to play some more ranked (duoQ with DisturbedFox) and get to Diamond since I'm really not liking the look of all the changes in patch 5.16. [center][size=5][color=red]Game 210-217[/color][/size][/center] [center][url=http://i.imgur.com/eKf2OH3.png][img=http://i.imgur.com/eKf2OH3.png width=700][/url][/center] It didn't go too well (currently at 66 LP).[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][center][url=http://i.imgur.com/uguN4hH.png][img=http://i.imgur.com/uguN4hH.png width=700][/url][/center] Ayy lmaokai Edit: mfw my teammates and opponents were all gold I - plat IV that game.[/quote]

[quote=LevasK]Congratulations Wayne and good luck reaching plat :)[/quote]

[quote=Jack Rubino]And i was thinking that wayne finally got to diamond when i saw your comment, levask.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Updated my roster, though the full list for top lane is something more along the line of [[Kennen]], [[Tahm Kench]], [[Fizz]], [[Irelia]], [[Olaf]], [[Gnar]], [[Sion]] (which is nice since it gives me room to adapt to the opponent's pick). I also don't own [[Brand]] on the account I'm playing on yet, but I know he'll [url=http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/store/sales/september-sales-schedule]go on sale in September[/url] so it won't be long before I do. Also I just realised I never posted these two games (from a while ago): [center][size=5][color=red]Game 218 + 219[/color][/size][/center] [table width=900] [tr] [td width=25][/td] [td width=400][url=http://i.imgur.com/wDs6ljt.png][img=http://i.imgur.com/wDs6ljt.png width=400][/url][/td] [td width=25][/td] [td width=400][url=http://i.imgur.com/mIXINv7.png][img=http://i.imgur.com/mIXINv7.png width=400][/url][/td] [td width=25][/td] [/tr] [/table] In game 1, [[Warwick]] randomly decided he'd start Gromp after standing near red until 1:30, so instead of doing that ourselves we had to help him and arrived to lane with [[Ashe]]/[[Vel'Koz]] (who didn't have to help [[Shaco]]) already shoving us back. We never really got out from under our turret that game, and all lanes fell behind fast. In the other game, we won lane hard enough for [[Ezreal]] to go for a full [[Tear of the Goddess]] build. Despite that, their team actually still won a few fights because of how badly we were positioned, lol. Once he realised this and started building normal again, we - luckily - cleaned up our act and started winning fights. [[Garen]] is dumb though. Gained 2 LP; only have to repeat this process 32 more times to reach promos :^)[/quote]
