VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/138a4fbfea7093862eda19bda65f12bf.png width=700] [br] Had a good [[Yasuo]] that eventually traded with [[Fiora]] after she struggled with [[Darius]]. Still lots of overextenstions and overstaying. I was getting Top tower and almost had finished their Top inhibitor after mauling [[Darius]] and our team got their Mid tower so I went back to finish the inhibitor not realzing my team backed out after the turret, which accounted for my one death. The early game was messy in terms of me getting farm so I was behind after a lot of silly running around that didn't really amount to any kills for either team. I stole [[Ivern]]'s red after he stole my Red. The [[Fiora]] was aware of all this and still almost died to an [[Ivern]] gank from behind. smh. I mostly handed blue buff of to [[Lux]] who put it to pretty good used. Had good Dragon control and got the Rift Herald for Yasuo. Toying with the idea of starting three health potions. Yes [[Refillable Potion]] is more cost effective in the long run, but having more health in the early game could give me more flexibility to do things like invade to find the enemy jungler and get vision down. I can make the health up by taking a scuttle crab, but that does risk an encounter with enemy jungler at time when me health isn't all that high. Alternatively I could start with more armor seals, but I do like the 120 health I get from the scaling HP seals since I don't tend to buy a lot of health on Shyvana, relying more on some armor and MR + lifesteal. Changes to Blade of the Ruined King COMBINE COST 900 gold (total cost: 3400 gold) ⇒ 800 gold (total cost: 3300 gold) ATTACK DAMAGE 25 ⇒ 40 ATTACK SPEED 40% ⇒ 25% LIFE STEAL 10% ⇒ 15% ACTIVE DAMAGE1 10% of target’s max health as physical damage ⇒ 100 magic damage REMOVED ACTIVE HEAL Damage dealt by the active is no longer converted to a heal BUFF-FIX Blade of the Ruined King’s passive on-hit damage now has a minimum of 10 ⇒ 15 (matching Recurve Bow’s on-hit damage) There is impact, but it is hard to tell if it is net negative or positive. I suspect slightly negative. The AD scaling will improve the damage from [[Twin Bite]] especially in conjunction with the AD you get from [[Maw of Malmortius]]. However, lower attack speed means that you can't prolong the duration of [[Burnout]] as much, though that has a maximum duration of 10 seconds, so it may actually not change anything between your runes, [[Enchantment: Bloodrazor]], and [[Blade of the Ruined King]]. It will likely mean that Twin Bite is not up quite as often since the cooldown is reduced via your basic attacks. Could also mean it takes a bit longer to stack enough rage to make your ult available. And could also reduced the lifesteal that you get even though the actual % went up by 5%. Eh, will just have to play with it and see how it feels. If I am losing duels that I used to win or my farm rate goes down, I will have my answer.[/quote]

I could generally kill MF but Azir would just shove me out of the fight with no real way to get back in until his wall of soldiers went down. Also having [[Leona]] and [[Jarvan IV]] sitting on our backline didn't help matters. It also didn't help that our [[Renekton]] did a stupid as hell dive onto [[Nasus]] at his turret despite me saying to back off in the call. I thought I could get him with [[Ignite]] and [[Flash]] out. Well you didn't... [[Thresh]] and [[Lucian]] were also struggling somewhat in Bot lane. Oh in once spectacular we won a team fight and had a chance at a turret and inhibitor, except there was one lone super minion holding up our wave so all we got was the turret before we had to run. Sad panda.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/9d3a790bd0b759d5ff47ef7841ae8e64.png width=700] [br] [[Darius]] got dumped on by [[Riven]]. I tried to go up and help when she was super pushed and it didn't go well. Mucho griefing coming out of our [[Brand]] who managed to get an early kill. I realize you might have been platinum last season but you are at best Gold 5 at the moment so shut the blank up and type less. It basically took 3 or more us to deal with Riven so we weren't able to focus the kind of attention we needed to in other areas of the map.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/ef2cbd4755595da5b125f7aba9c4e8a5.png width=700] [br] Ah, map awarness. I pinged out that [[Graves]] was in the river by [[Twisted Fate]] and even typed it out in chat. TF gets ganked and chunked. Also pinged out that Graves was likely Bot. Bot lane gets muderized by Graves. Le sigh. Despite that, TF was doing pretty well in Mid lane, though I only saw him ult twice the entire game, one of which did net us some kills. [[Teemo]] was handling [[Akali]]. He just sat on or quickly placed a shroom under him any time she tried to jump on him and then he would use the active on [[Hextech Gunblade]] to slow her and then blind her and auto her to death. [[Caitlyn]] didn't miss a hook. [[Zilean]] had a timely ult or two that really made a difference. I got to murderize [[Graves]] once when he came and tried to collect his Blue buff. Not the best numbers but I felt like I contributed. Getting all but once dragon, Rift Herald, and smiting Baron under a [[Jhin]] ult.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/b38bb5e691ce9f56c34639d6155da7b4.png width=700] [br] I told the [[Aatrox]] not to pick him into [[Fiora]] but noooooo! I am going to play this champion I probably haven't played in years today because they got reworked. I may be off about this, but I don't think the changes were that great and he is going to need some tuning. Did our Aatrox gets some kills and split push some? Yes. Could he kill there whole team? No. Fiora on the other hand. I screwed up at the end of the game and hooked [[Fiora]] while she was walking past their Raptor camp. That sucked [[Graves]] and I think [[Ezreal]] in and the rest of her team were standing in the bush not too far from her.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/25a2d1638625466966146a9956148e14.png width=700] [br] [[Fizz]] in champion select. Who picks Diana into Fizz? This will be and easy game boyz. 2 minutes into laning. First blood. Fizz - WTF is that damage? Like her passive. I made the mistake of trying to help him out the second time she went all in on him and died for my sins. I tried it one more time after I had [[Mercury's Treads]] for some MR. And I almost died for my sins again. We managed to catch her out a few times or kill her when she overextended, but it took at least three of us to deal with her and even that was dicey to the point of losing some of those skirmishes. We didn't figure out a good way to deal with the pressure having and assassin like her that fed. The End. I was sad I didn't get to try out the updated [[Blade of the Ruined King]] on [[Shyvana]] this game because I need the shield and MR from [[Hexdrinker]] / [[Maw of Malmortius]] more. I suspect I am not going to like the decrease in attack speed. I definitely noticed the dearth of it with playing [[Aatrox]] in and early normal. It might still be okay given that you also build [[Enchantment: Bloodrazor]].[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/fb14e13be47d614aed7edaa1bb6e9157.png width=700] [br] Uh, only an A+? WTF Rito? I don't really know what [[Ziggs]] was doing, but Bot and Top were competent, which worked out to be enough. [[Graves]] won by himself and splitpushed all the way to their Top inhibitor. [[Sion]] apparently mains Sion support and did well with him. [[Jhin]] and I benefitted from his CC. Not really sure how I managed no assists. I kept killing [[Lee Sin]] every time he tried to jump on me. I think the other team was not too keen on dealing with a level 14 [[Graves]] on top of the overall kill disparity so they called it quits.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/ede3d4cd7162c09e7e722ff61af90b04.png width=700] [br] Quadra kill. Unfortunately [[Yasuo]] ran away like he had some place else to be so I didn't manage to pick him up for the Penta. Twould have been nice but I'd rather get an inhibitor and a Nexus turret thanks. Bot lane made this pretty easy with them murderizing their opposite numbers plus [[Vi]] pretty much every time she tried to gank that lane. Rotated up Top to gank [[Yasuo]] while [[Malphite]] had his ult. Malphite ulted Yas and I ulted Yas to make sure he died right there since Malph was low on health. Yasuo bounced around like a balloon before exploding into a fine mist. Okay I made up that last part, but twas still enjoyable to see him fly around like a rag doll.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/72bc9207635d7cf0668fb3990137fd06.png width=700] [br] I should not talk during champion select. Meant to ban [[Shaco]] and accidentally banned [[Shyvana]]. That said I did okay on [[Vi]]. Screwed up a mid lane skirmish where I should have ulted the lower health [[Vladimir]] who had just come out of his pull and ulted the higher health [[Warwick]] so they both managed to get away. Then we catch [[Yorick]] trying to solo rift herald and we run him off and Fiora and I start and get almost all they way dead after it freaking resets in a position where it should not have reset from. Yorick blasts himself back into the pit. We almost kill him and then Fiora goes over the wall after him rather than finish the Rift Herald. By that time [[Lulu]] and [[Twitch]] show up to tag team me and I so used to not smiting Rift Herald that I forgot to [[Smite]] it to finish it off, so they get Rift Herald and I die. That almost tilted me out of this game. Chasing kills rather than objectives. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr![/quote]

[quote=VexRoth]And dodged the next one because [[Syndra]] support, [[Xerath]] Mid, [[Jhin]] ADC, and the enemy team picked [[Kled]] and I thought there is no way I can keep him off our backline with the comp we were are showing.[/quote]
