The highlighted game was probably the most painful one of them all; just looking at it makes me salty again. The tl;dr here is that [[Jinx]] got fed, then tried to help us out by positioning awfully time and time again, but our [[Thresh]] and [[Ahri]] simply [i]refused[/i] to hit a hook/charm so she was never punished. Slowly but surely they pushed us back into our base and won the game, with [[Udyr]] and [[Hecarim]] also finding their way back into the game after a bad start. I'd pick one of the other games to highlight but they honestly weren't much better ;-; As a final sidenote, I just want to mention that [[Nautilus]] top (which I faced in the last game) looks ridiculous. That sh*t better not become popular.[/quote]

Going into the game I was worried about their team's CC as I felt there was a whole lot I needed to be shielding in teamfights, but luckily the enemy team decided to throw everything onto Joxuu in the early teamfights instead :D Once I got fed this obviously changed, but in almost every fight I shielded one of their ultimates (first [[Vi]], then [[Leona]], then [[Garen]]) and I managed not to cancel my autos once by using [[Ricochet]] too early (which in other games I tend to do quite regularly in busy teamfights), soooo things worked out quite well for us. I should also mention that [[Thresh]] and [[Cho'Gath]] did a great job peeling for me late game which made things a lot more manageable. At 92 LP after those three games, will probably wait until after my exams next week to play more though.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]for gods sake upgrade your zeal man how many times[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]I upgraded it in the highlighted game (at 22:43), buuuuut I'm going to be honest here: the only reason I did that is because I had already bought an [[Avarice Blade]] to compensate for the fact that my cs in lane that game was atrocious. Don't get me wrong, it's not so much that I missed a lot, but we were [i]constantly[/i] fighting 2v2 in bot lane because [[Thresh]] and [[Leona]] were both really aggressive. We lost one of those 2v2 (with [[Graves]] getting a double kill), but won the all-in the other 3-4 times, so I ended up with a score of 6-2 while only having ~75 cs at 12 minutes. [[Graves]] had even less, and the solo lane champions in top/mid weren't more than 5-10 cs ahead of me either. It was pretty painful to look at, really. Anyway, random story aside, I do tend to upgrade it quite late, because I generally value having more AD (from a second [[B. F. Sword]]) over the extra AS, especially on champions like [[Sivir]] and [[Graves]] who have some sort of an AS boost in their kit and have good AD scalings. That then builds into [[The Bloodthirster]], after which I usually feel it's time for me to start working on LW or a defensive item, so it ends up kinda just sitting there. I don't know man, ADC builds are too expensive ._.[/quote]
