VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth][img=http://gyazo.com/143b1eb5704762b478e7f2b408f9582f.png width=700] [br] [url=http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2031578572/49136552?tab=overview]Match Details[/url] My screen glitched out on this game so I had two mini-maps once of which appeared on my 2nd monitor, but the game thought that the screen extended out onto the 2nd monitor so if I tried to click the mini-map on my main monitor I would just move like I was clicking on the ground. Very disconcerting. I didn’t do as well against [[Illaoi]] as I thought I would. You can’t really get at her in her tentacle nest and F some of those tentacles are hard to target. I think attack click will do it, but I’ll have to try the match up again to be sure. [[Volibear]] helped me secure a couple of kills on her. For some odd reason it felt like I didn’t have any AD as I had a terrible time last hitting. Maybe it was due to the screen bugginess as the game felt sluggish to me. We got ahead and stayed ahead.

Trundle was tasty. Though I needed some help from [[Kindred]] to dinnerfy him. They asked me to go tanky [[Tahm Kench]] so I did. Problem is they were always getting into fights without me there and they couldn’t dodge [[Veigar]]’s [[Event Horizon]] so they all were just getting instantly deleted or low enough that [[Tristana]] could get reset after reset. Not my finest game either, as I accidentally pathed myself into a [[Veigar]] and [[Amumu]] coming around the corner at river. And I failed to eat [[Caitlyn]] once when she stepped into [[Event Horizon]]. Actually it was a little more like an impending car wreck. I knew she was going to walk into the stun and just watched in horrified fascination as she really did it. Like actually got too close to a fed [[Veigar]]. Not smart. Oh and there was the forgetting to take my R off of smart cast so I went all of one [[Teemo]] before popping back up. That may or may not have cost us a dragon as they finished it off pretty quickly thereafter. We were just too disorganized on this one and not able press our advantage when we had it however briefly.[/quote]

Sad day. Early [[Draven]] killed [[Kalista]]. I got [[Fiora]] a kill, got [[Kassadin]] some breathing room vs [[Talon]], got Bot lane a double kill. And it wasn’t enough. [[Draven]] claimed to be a platinum smurf in chat later. Regardless, we couldn’t deal with his damage, despite having only to itemize against AD.[/quote]

Highlights for me, were solo killing [[Ryze]] as soon as I hit 6th level. [[Dr. Mundo]] tried to gank a couple of times, but they were pretty anemic. Though I think we did manage to murderize Ryze on the 3rd try. [[Teleport]]ed Bot and though I didn’t personally get any kills, I was enough of a distraction that [[Graves]] picked up two kills despite almost being dead and we got the Bot outer turret. But [[Leblanc]] could pretty much delete anyone she wanted to at will so were almost always down a person. I need to decide if I can build damage after getting a kill. I went [[Mercury's Treads]] early to try and mitigate [[Ryze]]’s permastun via [[Rune Prison]] but I might have been better off just going [[Tiamat]] and doing my best to kill him and snowball myself.[/quote]

Because mid-late game we weren’t team fighting right at all with people going off in 2s and 3s to siege.[/quote]

Despite this we couldn’t seem to team fight very effectively so we kept getting killed when trying to take objectives. I felt a little off my game. But we managed to keep plugging away despite not team fighting as well as the enemy team and eventually got enough picks to roll over their base to take their Nexus.

Tried the [[Enchantment: Warrior]] and [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] build out on [[Nocturne]] and focused on deleting squishies. Seemed fairly effective, though we were doing well in the majority of our lanes, despite having a double ADC comp for our Bot lane. I felt a bit mana starved without a [[Hunter's Potion]]. May have to limit my usage of [[Unspeakable Horror]] when clearing jungle camps early. That was starting Krugs > Raptors > Red > Blue > Gromp which is all I could manage starting 3 [[Health Potion]]s + [[Hunter's Machete]] and running 18-12-0 and Atk Dmg + Arm + 6 CDR + 3 sCDR + 3 Atk Spd quints. It may be also be that Atk Spd marks and Quints are a better way to go.[/quote]

Taking a snare is ouch with the [[Lux]] and [[Graves]] combo. But [[Blitzcrank]] kept landing Lux in my lap so I was able to get ahead. We comboed Blitzcrank abilities and [[The Package]] well to get even further ahead. [[Ezreal]] was just mowing them down, so we were generally fighting with a least a one person advantage which made things relatively easy.[/quote]

[[Pantheon]] killed [[Gnar]] early and then died to him at least twice thereafter. I ganked from a little too far out for Panth to help though I dd bypass a ward in the river bush that way. I’ve found that I like [[Nocturne]] into [[Ahri]] the two times I’ve played the match. Yes, she is still hard to gank if [[Spirit Rush]] is up, but [[Shroud of Darkness]] is good for defusing [[Charm]]. I need to remember to save my [[Smite]] for ganking after my clear speed gets decent enough. I’ve been starting [[Warding Totem]] to start and then getting a [[Sweeping Lens]] after I back to clear wards to help set up ganks and deny vision generally, then later in the game switching out to a [[Farsight Alteration]] in order to maximize ward coverage. Having a weird issue were everyone looks like they are already gone from the lobby when I get in there (Mac client).[/quote]

Connection is normally not an issue, but tonight, DCd from champion select once and then from the last ?7? min of this game. Argh. Was playing with abnormally high ping the whole game too. -19 LP in total due to connection issues, though I think we would have lost this one anyway as their [[Ezreal]] and [[Karma]] combo was dumpstering our Bot lane and we were pretty much losing across the map. I can only assume our team FFd once I DCd as I was the only on on them team doing somewhat decent. Guessing that ranked is not a good idea at the moment. Frustrating when you've played a couple of games during the day with no issues. I even tested out my connection in a custom game after I DCd from champion select to make sure I could log into a game and my ping was okay.[/quote]

Made life pretty easy. I helped bot lane work over their lane opponents and stymied a couple of [[Nunu]]’s ganks making sure they kept their lead. Made a dragon call that sort of turned out poorly. I felt like we had plenty of time to do it, but it turns out that we didn’t, so that cost us a few deaths. Still enjoying wailing on targets with [[Trundle]]. Note: Apparently [[Cho'Gath]] is a decent pick into [[Rammus]] top. Also I found it very confusing that they had a Rammus and a Nunu. I kept thinking that their jungler was holding top lane so I could go invade his jungle, which is how I sussed out a couple of Nunu's ganks. XD[/quote]

They were squishy enough overall that I felt like it was a decent choice regardless. Did of mix of deleting everyone. Overall the game was looking somewhat grim early game. [[Yasuo]] calls mid or feed in champion select. That almost made me DC right there. Total bullshit to let trolls dictate the game that way, especially ranked. No leash from [[Blitzcrank]] and Blitz immediately roams to mid so I follow him over there even though I had only done one camp. He took his sweet ass time doing anything so I wandered off so as not to get overly behind. They eventually got [[Azir]] but not before [[Lucian]] and [[Brand]] first blooded [[Vayne]]. [[Gnar]] took a dump on [[Vladimir]] and was generally a pain in the butt the whole game. [[Vayne]] and [[Blitzcrank]] mostly got dumped on. Fortunately [[Yasuo]] was actually good at Yasuo and Blitz asked him to come to Bot lane. He and I teamed up for a double kill to even things out again. Then we just started winning most of the small skirmishes and were able to take objectives off of that. I screwed up once when I went onto [[Brand]] and Azir had a turret set up behind their position. I thought I could get in and out quickly enough to kill Brand and not die, but such was not the case.[/quote]
