They did well as ADC, which was good because my other lanes were struggling a bit. [[Twisted Fate]] kept coming in short on his [[Destiny]] and even when he did it right he would have a red card in hand. Fortunately he played safe enough in lane that [[Zed]] wasn't able to feed off of him. [[Rumble]] spent a lot of the early game Top lane. Then after he go Top ahead he started focusing on Bot lane. I counter jungled when I wasn't in place to counter gank and just tried to farm up and get big. Their [[Miss Fortune]] was map challenged so I managed to snuff her out a couple of times when she wasn't were she should be. But we had our map challenged people too so that was pretty much an even swap. [[Garen]] DCd for a while but he was with some of our other players so they informed us that his computer had crashed and he would be back in as soon as he got it restarted. Later game we just managed the team fights better than they did, which gave us the victory. I fat fingered a [[Flash]] when I was trying to gank [[Renekton]]. I need to work on being more precise with that because it is not an uncommon occurrence especially when I am running a champion targetable [[Smite]]. Also found out that Renekton can Slice and Dice through me to go the other direction when I am ult at him to try and knock him back. That was a bit of frustrating interaction.[/quote]

Their laners swapped and our did not. Our Top was doing okay in the beginning but then started losing to [[Lissandra]]. Our Mid was screwing around with [[Garen]] and hung around after he survived Garen's ult. Garen flash Q'd him under turret. Sigh. I told him to go back. And our Bot lane was having problems as well. I eventually got Bot and picked up a double kill after which Ezreal DCd. Sigh sigh. With all lanes losing and down a champ we weren't able to turn this one around. Next up asshole [[Shaco]] doesn't get jungle so he wants to play him Mid lane. I asked him not to and he demurred, so I dodged losing my promos. In retrospect I should have asked him to trade for Mid, but it pisses me off when people do that kind of shit in ranked play so I didn't want to play with that person.[/quote]

[[Graves]] handed [[Vi]] and [[Gangplank]] and early kill after I dropped a ward at the Red and pinged out that she was in her Top side jungle taking Red. She then just came back to rinse and repeat. Our ADC hopped too close to the turret and got stunned by [[Taric]] and died. Kat had [[Leblanc]] pushed into her turret so all my lanes were pushed leaving me no good options for ganking. So in retrospect I should have gone and found Vi. Need to remember that. We won a few fights there and there but between Taric's ult and Gangplank's ult fights were difficult. About Mid game [[Graves]] DCd (he said his interest connection crapped out on him) and then we definitely didn't have the damage to make anything work against a team that was well ahead of us in terms of gold and items. Somewhat disappointing night at the Leagues.[/quote]

It worked beautifully in a fight around their Blue buff where I was able to pick up a triple kill with the help of an [[Ahri]] [[Charm]] that let me finish off [[Orianna]]. Mostly though I was able to use it to make picks and delete key team members since I was rather fed. Our Bot lane of [[Lucian]] and [[Janna]] were also quite good, so they had Bot lane pretty well sealed up. I had a lot of trouble ganking [[Poppy]] Top lane. She kept juking me or managing to go back in and kill [[Mordekaiser]] before backing off and Morde had no CC to help. One of the times I accidentally attack moved onto a minion when she slipped into a bush just before I got to her. I was trying to AA her as soon as I went into the bush after her, but the targeting algorithm dragged me to the nearest minion. Despite mucking it up in lane somewhat and generally being an asshat with his chat comments he did do some roaming to try and help other lanes (mostly unsuccessfully because no CC). Also I had completely forgotten that Mordekaiser can get the dragon as a pet Ghost. That came in handy when we took it and then went to siege their Inner Bot turret and Outer Bot base turret. I wonder how potent the Elder Dragon thing is going to be in ghost form? Oh they tried hard to do an early invade I think to mainly get some wards down so I figured [[Lee Sin]] would try to counter jungle me, so I dropped a ward in the brush by Red and went to Raptors. Sure enough spotted Lee nosing around. I pinged him out and after he didn't find me he tried to gank Mid, but our laner was aware of the possibility so they were able to walk away with minimal issues.[/quote]

I made the mistake of trying to duel [[Trundle]] once when he was ahead of me and had his ult. Bad idea.[/quote]

I died way too many times despite going up 3-0 pretty early. My team got their crap together/outscaled theirs later in the game so we were able to turn a losing situation around. Favorite call from someone on our team. Free Baron. I think there were four of us on it. We kill Baron. Annie - "Have you seen my bear Tibbers?" See Jeebus! Yeah just like that comic you might have seen. Annie triple kill. Sigh. One of my deaths was particularly dumb ( and I had some dumb ones). I was too far away to ult in, but I used it anyway to try and deny vision. That worked like I charm. My peeps got out in the confusion only the last dregs of their health. Then I still went in. Derp.[/quote]

We had won our previous two by the skin of our teeth. On this one my Mid laner didn't listen to me and picked [[Kayle]] into [[Leblanc]]. That match-up might be in Kayle's favor if you know the matchup inside and out, but I've played it and if the Leblanc is better than you are with Kayle you lose. Our Top lane went full retard and handed [[Fizz]] 3 early kills and then kept trying to fight him after that without building a [[Maw of Malmortius]]. Most of the time not even three of us could deal with the Fizz and I knew this one was donzo. [[Warwick]] build a freaking [[Infinity Edge]]. That was nuts. He did so much damage. I should have stuck with [[Nocturne]] or [[Shyvana]]. [[Hecarim]] wasn't a good pick here though with how far behind the lanes were I am not sure what I did mattered.[/quote]

I couldn't kill anyone despite everyone being on maybe three bars of health after a Zigg's [[Mega Inferno Bomb]]. I thought maybe if [[Darius]] followed up after me, we might be able to get some work done together, but he kept going in ahead of me, so I would have to make the best of that situation. This is probably one I should put up for review. I tried doing a [[Gromp]] and two buff start to gank Top lane to try and get Darius going, but [[Quinn]] warded right before I got in position. [[Ziggs]] was trading about even with [[Veigar]] and Bot lane wan't faring all that well, so maybe I should have focused some attention there? However our [[Draven]] DCd for a chunk of the game and also made some comment about "What does pushing too hard mean? I'm not familiar with ranked. I bought the account." When I suggested to Darius to not shove the lane so I could get my gank off. So, I was leery of that person effectiveness. The [[Draven]] also DCd for a while in early laning phase so I didn't really feel like there was much to be done there while we were waiting for him to hopefully reconnect. I checked their op.gg after the game and they had not [[Draven]] games played, so either they weren't kidding about buying the account or the were not thinking it through in playing a champion they were not all that familiar with in ranked. I don't normally feel as ineffective as I did on [[Shyvana]] come late game. Maybe it was the [[Veigar]] stun splitting up our team? bleh.[/quote]
