The Road to Platinum

[quote=Khazem]Just one game for today, but made it to 1800 at least. [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/266/1807a.jpg/][IMG]http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/4340/1807a.jpg[/IMG][/URL] So it really feels like [[riven]] is a free win every time and I intend to abuse it as much as possible Our team took [[amumu]]'s blue at the start, barely avoiding a first blood on [[ahri]]. First blood happened mid when [[ahri]] towerdove the [[ryze]] pretty early on. At top lane, I was getting camped by [[amumu]] really hard, dying twice when I went a little bit agressive on [[vladimir]], [[amumu]] would come down the lane and flash in while I was being slowed by Vlad's trollpool. Having almost all of [[amumu]]'s attention top meant more freedom for the other lanes. [[Skarner]] did a lot of work bottom and they won the lane pretty hard. Mid was dominating the lane on her own. Despite all the [[amumu]] pressure on top, I was still winning the lane, outfarming and getting kills on [[vladimir]] everytime my [[ignite]] was up. Teamfights were pretty one sided and the game was decided when we took a really fast Baron from under their noses and aced them in the process.[/quote]

[quote=koksei][quote=Khazem] [quote=koksei] how did you lose a leona trist lane? I am disappointed :D - I read the article but leona trist 1 kill behind early isn't rly the prob. DO DA KILLS RIGHT AFTERWARDS [/quote] wasn't 1 kill behind, was 2. (leona ran into nautilus trying to ward) Ezreal came back to lane with a doran's and a longsword while I had boots 3. I got zoned cos Leona was dead and got 2 levels behind.. so ya [/quote] I am still disappointed :D LEONA TRIST 100% WIN LANE you could just leave out leona and say trist lane = 100% win.. nu I know sometimes it just doesn't work out EVEN IF YOU GET A TRIPLE AT Lvl 2 :([/quote]

Has to b duo-queeing![/quote]

[quote=Khazem]played a couple more games tonight, won a few and lost a few. Ended up gaining a little [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/716/1796l.jpg/][IMG]http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/8094/1796l.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/11/17962n.jpg/][IMG]http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6290/17962n.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The 2 losses. Both games I was forced to support and both games I had an AD carry with the wrong runes and masteries (AP Sivir and AP/mpen Ashe) Not much more to say. All lanes lost, including bot lane and we got stomped both games. [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/43/1808x.jpg/][IMG]http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9199/1808x.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Picked [[cho'gath]] to lane against [[malphite]]. Enemy team was trolling pretty hard so just laned till they surrendered at 20. [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/692/1809x.jpg/][IMG]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7494/1809x.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Similar game as above. Top and bot were quite even for a while, [[anivia]] was just flying around killing everything that had a pulse. Really one sided game with nothing interesting happening. [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/28/1821x.jpg/][IMG]http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/1596/1821x.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And the last game of the night. Forgot to take a screenshot. Had to go mid and decided to go Cassiopeia as they didn't have their mid picked yet and I figured Cass was pretty safe. Like most of the games tonight, the game was a pretty one sided stomp and the game ended after a boring laning phase with 1 teamfight at dragon which we took 4 to 1. After this last game, my Elo is now 1821. Getting closer![/quote]

Started out pretty horrible as top lane was getting camped and gave first blood. Our bottom lane was pretty terror as well. [[Corki]] was playing pretty poorly at first, eating 2 consecutive grabs that could have easily been avoided, giving them 2 kills. At one point we were behind 1-10 and things were looking bad. Our lane turned around when [[skarner]] came for ganks. The first one failed but blew 2 flashes, the second one gave [[corki]] 2 kills with the help of a [[karthus]] ult. A while later, the same thing happened. Except this time we got counter ganked but turned it into a 4v3 in our favor as [[karthus]] showed up. [[Corki]] got another 3 kills here and our lane was saved. From there, we took the dragon and top tower and we were right back in the game. They contested the dragon but all went down with all of us still being alive. From there we pushed our advantage and turned a really bad game into a really good one.

The snowball top lane had begun and all [[gangplank]] could do at that point was bend over. Bot lane wr crushed with the help of [[nautilus]] and a couple of smart pink wards by [[leona]], giving us a ton of kills in a short amount of times as [[nautilus]] continiously ganked bottom. Meanwhile [[irelia]] was killing everyone left and right and forced a 20 minute surrender. Making my first push for platinum tonight, let's see how it goes.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Nice, you're gonna beat me to it ;)[/quote]

[quote=Khazem]I might if people start banning Nautilus. Lost 3 games in a row because of that champions existence. Better luck tomorrow I hope.[/quote]
