The Ranked Misadventures of TheSilverDust

[quote=theyouiporit][quote=TheSilverDust] This. Game. Is. Cancer.[/quote] Who cares? You won! Btw, how is muting someone good? Always thought that flamers are the worst thing one can get in a game.[/quote]

[quote=TheSilverDust]He's flaming like hell to us. Blah blah jungler not ganking, blah blah mid not roaming top blah blah. I am easily affected by tilt of other people, so I muted him as soon as he is saying that. :D[/quote]

[quote=TheSilverDust]I'll post another game that I don't expect that we will win from that. XD[/quote]

Pick a safe champion who can bully in a distance. [h2][color=#0080ff]During the Game[/color]:[/h2] Unexpectedly, my experience in early game went easy. [[Lux]] and I kept harassing the hell out of [[Kalista]] and support [[Malphite]], making them really low (and considering the fact that [[Malphite]] didn't take the [[Relic Shield]] route makes it easier). I have the lowest deaths out then (1 death). However, mid game came and we lost the tiny advantage we had in early game. [[Diana]] got some items and started to one-shot almost everyone, and she is always the reason why I died many times. The [[Kalista]]-[[Malphite]] combination should be good, but I do not why they are always screwing up in that combo (still died a few times though :P). And [[Veigar]] started to melt our faces off! We are clearly losing that moment I saw the enemy team destroyed the mid inhibitor. And [[Swain]] is not cooperating with us, chasing the [[Diana]] who could one-shot him easily (He's not buying magic resist! >:^O). And shit happened when I logged out of my computer unexpectedly. I should've been notified but I was not. So I went AFK for minutes. And when I returned, that one inhibitor destroyed became two (mid and bot). And I saw the whole enemy team sieging top lane, and we are ready to face the final team fight, our last-ditch effort to win the whole game. It was started with harassing the hell out, and the team fight all started when I shot a low-health [[Kalista]] which is lunging forward, which is the cause of her death. Then, hell broke loose. [[Diana]] decided to jump on me and fight me. Thankfully, I have this [[Heal]] and survived her attack with a sliver of health and lose the enemy team's main source of damage by having so many critical hits on me. Miraculously, we all survived and got an ace, which made our chance to go all mid ([[Swain]] was defending the base as enemy minions broke a Nexus turret) and wreck down the turrets and finally the Nexus. It's the biggest WTF experience that I had in my League career.

[quote=Roguish Bard]One would assume that any ranged carry with poke/range advantage can deal with Kalista relatively well. Perhaps try your hand at [[Corki]] or [[Ezreal]]?[/quote]

[quote=TheSilverDust]I tried [[Corki]]. He's really fun to play, but there's something lacking on him that I couldn't identify... I'll give [[Ezreal]] a shot! Thanks for your suggestions![/quote]

[quote=Ekki][quote=Roguish Bard]One would assume that any ranged carry with poke/range advantage can deal with Kalista relatively well. Perhaps try your hand at [[Corki]] or [[Ezreal]]?[/quote]Both of them rely heavily on skillshots, which get pretty unreliable against [[kalista]]. I mean, you could still have a decent laning phase, but those two are closer to being countered than to counter her. On [[ezreal]], he's quite strong right now, and his blue build is mid-difficulty mechanically (not too hard but hard enough as to make some cool plays). I highly recommend him if you enjoy poking and kiting.[/quote]

I have quite a small pool of ADC champion that can fare well in bot lane. I think that I should play [[Jinx]], [[Tristana]], [[Corki]] or [[Ezreal]]. I like to play [[Lucian]], but something is stopping me to play him. I think he is a less shitty version of [[Miss Fortune]] in my opinion.[/quote]

[quote=Ekki]Well, [[miss fortune]] is really strong right now. IMO stronger than [[lucian]], but that may have changed. She's good for heavy engage comps (i.e. you won't have to worry about assassins if they're inside [[amumu]]'s ult), but I agree that that enemy comp wasn't a good one for her. [[corki]] is a good adc if you have a full AD composition. Other than that I see him underperforming when compared to the rest of the adc's in their respective niches. He's nice if you want an uber-versatile pool of adc's, but I doubt that's your goal. [[tristana]] and [[jinx]] fell off meta for some reason, but they're still the same hypercarries they always were. And in silver it's quite common to get to late game, so I guess they're nice picks. [[ezreal]] is great but I recommend him as a sort of training. By playing him you'll get better at skillshots, positioning, poking and coping with assassins in a 1v1. He's top-tier right now, but I would recommend him every day of the year to anyone who wants to get better as an adc.[/quote]

Let them taste the feeling when they are all denied. >:] [h2][color=#0080ff]During the Game[/color]:[/h2] [[Jarvan IV]] was so easy to troll to begin with. He is just being denied to dash every time I use W or just juke him simply. He's so predictable, in my opinion. [[Jax]] and [[Draven]] did a great job picking up kills. The [[Leona]] is giving the enemy skin cancer with her sunlight. [[Diana]] did decent, but I felt that she has a little presence in fights. And here is the danger of being defeated in game. [[Ezreal]] was fed for multiple kills, allowing them to push the outer top turret and the inner mid turret. [[Diana]] went AFK for a while, so we were really split pushing (1-2-1) until she comes back. She did, and we won the game by one successful team fight and crashed the enemy Nexus down.
