VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth]After the last two games I'm really hesitant to let anyone else jungle if I am higher in the pick order. Both times a peep below me was like but I'm am the bestest jungle! Pls pls let me play jg I will carry you. Yeah, you carried all right. May need to just start calling pref jg instead of jg or adc. And just focus on jungling whenever possible because bot lane blows when you and your support have no synergy and a lot of people are only supporting because they are last pick, not because they actually have any facility at the role. Though I suppose to be fair to the junglers, it sucks sour grapes when you have multiple lanes hemorrhaging. Do you help the lane that is going even or do you try to prop up the losing lanes?[/quote]

Then [[Tristana]] and [[Tahm Kench]] outscaled us all. And our team could never get on the same page to take advantage of your strength when we had it. We needed to get picks and then team fight. We would get picks and then scatter across the map. As in one point we went to Baron after killing off two or three of their champions. We pinged Baron and Volibear went to I don’t know, 3v1 them at Dragon, getting himself killed and removing his damage from the taking of Baron. That left us with it about 1/3 health with not enough damage to burst it and [[Orianna]] was making a b-line for the Baron pit. We would have lost the game there if she had hit us with a [[Command: Shockwave]] in the pit. If not that then the follow up [[Malphite]] ultimate combined with the [[Jarvan IV]] ult would have finished us. So a couple of us turned on them and some of the team kept hitting the Baron, so J4 was able jump the wall and [[Smite]] baron. [[Shen]] - we would have been fine. We are tanky. No we wouldn’t have. One of your tanks was dead and none of as had any MR at the time. smh. Did I mention frustrating?[/quote]

One in the win column in SIII. I’ll take it. :)[/quote]

[quote=utopus][quote=VexRoth] Though I suppose to be fair to the junglers, it sucks sour grapes when you have multiple lanes hemorrhaging.

Sometimes, the gankable lane is the losing lane, but if you think that your opponent will 1v2 you if you try to gank him ([[irelia]] e.g.), then don't even waste your time helping out that lane[/quote]

XD But I get you. Look for opportunities same as always. Stay away from the fed person if they are known for 1v2ing well or bring help/worry about them when you start team fighting. Thank you. I will try to put that advice into action the next time my lanes are struggling.[/quote]

I screwed up twice. Once in lane I focused my damage onto [[Volibear]] when I should have focused it on [[Jinx]]. That got Leona killed when she ran up lane toward the enemy turret. Another time I didn’t respect the grab distance on Voli’s [[Rolling Thunder]]. That got me killed. [[Leona]] died at least 6 times while wandering around. I guess she went off to roam and try to help out other lanes? That left me unable to farm except at my tower with the possibility of a Voli lurking in a bush. When asked what she was doing Leona just responded that “I am Indian.” whatever that meant.[/quote]

They had solid dragon control, however [[Malphite]] and [[Yasuo]] teamed up to get some good [[Last Breath]]s off and that got us back in the game. We killed a bunch of them and then went after Baron, which they had tried to do a bit earlier. We weren’t killing it fast enough though so [[Riven]] was able to jump in the pit and kill me taking away our [[Smite]] however out team managed to kill Riven again and get the Baron. We then went and took their outer mid turret and their outer bot turret and got their inhibitors as well at the cost of [[Miss Fortune]]'s life. We went back and healed up and then went top and I snagged [[Riven]] with my [[Impale]] and took their outer top lane turret, then we cleaned up the rest of their team at the top inner turret. I pinged the Nexus as by that point our super minions had taken out one of their Nexus turrets and were finishing off another. Note to self: Skarner needs to auto attack a target marked with Crystal Venom in order to stun them. [[Crystal Slash]] does not apply the stun.[/quote]

Should have left top and mid to fend for themselves and focused my attention solely on bot lane. Can’t gank [[Shaco]] and can’t really gank [[Heimerdinger]] given that [[Lulu]] didn’t have enough burst to kill him even after I [[Impale]]d him. I know. We tried. It didn’t help that [[Volibear]] got frustrated quickly and just couldn’t leave well enough alone and kept dying to Shaco and Shyvana, when she decided to show top lane. Then the griefing starts. If you would only just gunk. And do what? Run into a box while Shaco scammers off while invisible. I could by a pink for 100g but only slightly increases our chances of catching him. Then the one time that I do gank bot, [[Tristana]] takes that moment to back. WTF??? May need to look at the replay on that one as maybe she was a lot lower than I thought. Terrible game all the way around.[/quote]

[[Graves]] and [[Alistar]] kept [[Vayne]] in check. [[Teemo]] and I kept [[Nasus]] in check and [[Lux]] held her own against [[Cassiopeia]]. Thinking I might want to play a warm-up normals, but it is tight on time just doing two ranked games a night. Ve shall see. Two of my deaths were due to keep Vayne out of the fight. One of those we definitely got more than we lost when I went down. The other was questionable. I maybe should have opted into [[Thornmail]] over [[Dead Man's Plate]] since I already had some health from [[Enchantment: Cinderhulk]] and [[The Black Cleaver]].[/quote]

A [[Riven]] that said in champion select. “oh I am top? I don’t normally play top.” Picks one of the highest skill cap champs in the game. An [[Ahri]] with no [[Flash]]. I tried ganking [[Lissandra]] early, but I guess [[Ahri]] didn’t see my ping so she didn’t respond until Liss had a free walk back to her turret. Amumu got work done early and I didn’t. Several cases of the enemy getting away on really low HP so we didn’t get to convert those into gold or pressure. Sad day.[/quote]
