[quote=Wayne3100]E, though looking at probuilds it seems like it's a 50-50 between the two atm. [center][size=5][color=red]Game 220[/color][/size][/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/LZD5ft5.png width=700][/center] Was going to push for diamond this weekend, but after one game I'm already unsure whether I should. Not because of the loss (shit happens), but because of some pretty damn bad freezes / ping spikes I was getting during most of that (there's a reddit thread [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3iglo2/increased_ping_on_euw_and_eune_since_516_balkan/]here[/url] which has a lot of comments from people all over Europe experiencing issues as well, with [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3iglo2/increased_ping_on_euw_and_eune_since_516_balkan/cugaje7]this comment[/url] being the exact issue I was having). The timing could not have been worse :|[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Why would you ask Wayne when I'm the god of Lucian...C'mon man...[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]Yes I remember last time I asked you what boots to buy and you gave me some shitty advice :^)[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]um no...[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]Remember that time when I was playing [[ezreal]] against you and I asked you what boots to buy? Exactly.[/quote]

Game 2: Lane went surprisingly well (first time I faced a [[Vladimir]]), other lanes not so much. Onesided loss. Game 3: Despite what the screenshot might suggest, I actually won top lane comfortably against [[Riven]] (which is what I expected when I picked [[Olaf]]), leading by 2 kills (one of which came from a good [[Diana]] gank) and 20-30 cs after ~18 minutes. Things went downhill fast in the teamfights though, with [[Riven]] making a comeback and [[Jinx]]/[[Lee Sin]] being able to carry the [[Ahri]] (who was far behind in cs and claimed to be lagging a lot). Haven't felt like I've been improving for quite a while now, and I don't feel like I'm actually influencing the outcome of the game much either, regardless of role. Pretty demotivating.[/quote]

Also still getting ping spikes in [i]some[/i] games (happened quite often during the [[Tristana]] game, but barely in any of the other ones) and getting nervous more often than I ever would in a normal game, so I guess that doesn't really help. 16 LP atm, pretty far away from the diamond dream.[/quote]
