The Fool's Adventures In Scrubdom

[quote=Foolamancer][img=http://i.imgur.com/zqsXn4f.png] "ad bad" - double Rabadon's Karth Bans were [[Blitzcrank]], [[Fizz]], nothing, [[Kassadin]], [[Renekton]], and [[Vayne]]. Game started out with a huge lead for our side, but as it turns out, no one understood how to press an advantage (rushing tank items is how you exploit a 4/0/5 lead right guys). And [[Aatrox]] couldn't seem to understand the fact that [[Shyvana]] splitpushing was not a problem that could be solved by him leaving the rest of the team and trying to 1v1 her when she was over 100cs and 3 levels above him. Plus [[Jax]] was diving in 1v5, [[Thresh]] was feeding, and [[Karthus]] was stacking double [[Rabadon's Deathcap]] and didn't pick up an [[Archangel's Staff]], so there's that. THINGS I SCREWED UP: - General AD positioning errors. Again, I'm really rusty at AD due to maining jungle so hard. EDIT: And yes, I deserved this loss. I made as many mistakes as the rest of them, and I didn't stomp lane as hard as I could have if I weren't so bad at AD. Just saying it wasn't all me, and this could easily have been won if any one of the factors listed above had been removed. If [[Karthus]] had picked up an [[Archangel's Staff]] instead of a second [[Rabadon's Deathcap]], if [[Thresh]] hadn't kept wandering off alone to feed kills, if [[Jax]] hadn't engaged on the enemy team while they had the Baron buff, if [[Aatrox]] had waited to build [[Randuin's Omen]] until after he got [[Blade of the Ruined King]] with his massive early lead... any of these would have made this game easily winnable.[/quote]

[quote=Foolamancer][img=http://i.imgur.com/h2zPvRX.jpg] Bans were [[Amumu]], [[Blitzcrank]], [[Vayne]], [[Kassadin]], [[Caitlyn]], and [[Thresh]]. [[Tryndamere]] got an early lead but [[Hecarim]] couldn't keep up with me in teamfights and their carries had horrible positioning, which I exploited mercilessly.[/quote]

[quote=Foolamancer][img=http://i.imgur.com/l3Tssja.png] [[Clarity]] [[Heal]] [[Taric]] 2stronk5me Bans were [[Kassadin]], [[Blitzcrank]], [[Thresh]], [[Vayne]], [[Riven]], [[Fizz]]. Admittedly I didn't do much this game because [[Ezreal]] was just getting fed out of his mind by the enemy [[Taric]]. [[Kennen]] was pushed to the enemy tower all game, so all I did was gank for [[LeBlanc]] a few times and take towers. That was pretty much it. Nice to get lucky with my team for once.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]Ganking a [[Leblanc]] lane is always good, whatever side you're on. =)[/quote]

[quote=Foolamancer][img=http://i.imgur.com/XIgWUeE.jpg] Bans were [[Zed]], [[Kassadin]], [[Fizz]], [[Kha'Zix]], [[Thresh]], and [[Blitzcrank]]. [[Aatrox]] gave up First Blood to [[Riven]] before I even finished taking my first buff. [[Tristana]] and [[Fiddlesticks]] gave up a double kill to [[Draven]] before another minute had passed. I'm 4/3/6 with just over 100 CS and that's still the best record on the team, even counting farm for solo laners, you know this was doomed from the start.[/quote]

[quote=Foolamancer][img=http://i.imgur.com/BdYRGBi.jpg] Bans were [[Kassadin]], [[Fizz]], [[Jax]], [[Blitzcrank]], [[Zed]], and [[Thresh]]. Router crashed at game start. Came back three minutes in. Didn't matter. Roamed map, murdered everyone, snowballed every lane, took free dragons all day, counterjungled [[Xin Zhao]] out of his mind.[/quote]

[quote=Foolamancer][img=http://i.imgur.com/oBQNy4U.png] At least I'm not falling. Bans were [[Vayne]], [[Blitzcrank]], [[Amumu]], [[Jax]], [[Kassadin]], [[Caitlyn]]. Got two successful ganks in for [[Teemo]] during the early game, he snowballed the lane and the enemy team didn't know how to deal with a splitpusher. I would do more analysis for this game but I need food, then back to the marathon.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]Nice to see you rising! btw, what do you think about the [[Dragon Strike]] change? does it hurt much?[/quote]

[quote=Foolamancer][quote=Pheyniex] Nice to see you rising! btw, what do you think about the [[Dragon Strike]] change? does it hurt much? [/quote] Haven't noticed it at all, honestly. I still land pretty much every E-Q. I do think it's a good idea, though, even if it hasn't affected me much. J4 is very forgiving to play, and taking away some of that forgiveness means that you have to put at least a little effort into learning him in order to not suck.[/quote]

[quote=Foolamancer][img=http://i.imgur.com/1rfihuf.jpg] Bans were [[Zed]], [[Orianna]], [[Riven]], [[Nasus]], [[Amumu]], and [[Lee Sin]]. Feels good to be back on form. [[Renekton]] had some trouble against [[Jax]] during the early game, but I ganked for him twice, and my extensive warding meant that we caught out [[Ahri]] and [[Rammus]] when they were setting up for a three-man dive against him, so that buried top. I ganked successfully for [[Nidalee]] as well, and their [[Ahri]] was pretty bad, so mid was set. And I ganked successfully for bot twice, which buried that. After that, I just took free dragons and towers.[/quote]
