VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/d95a2b87857afd87a34a58c9e1dd3633.png width=700] [br] This [[Tryndamere]] did not really know how to deal with the [[Jax]] or the Jax knew how to deal with the Tryndamere. [[Graves]] ganked Top but I was there to countergank. We all did some damage to each other but all walked away. Then [[Graves]] suprisingly ganked Mid lane (not really a suprise as we never saw him leave the river) and he also failed there, then we didn't see him leave the river on the other side so he suprisinly ganked Bot lane and there was successful at ganking the [[Kalista]]. Le sigh. Like blinking watch your mini-map folks. The Kalista was a whining problem the rest of the game. [[Trinity Force]] [[Twisted Fate]] tried to make some plays and had some successes but some specactular fails as well. I'll be glad when they get around to nerfing [[Graves]]. He can be fun to play in his current incarnation, but does freaking entirely too much burst damage and is pretty tanky to boot. Plus clears fast and healthy if you are decent with him, which I'm not, or not consistently enough to make him work reliably. Naughty's clears feel entirely too slow compared to someone like [[Graves]]. If I really want to use him I might have to consider some ways to speed up his clear. Maybe [[Enchantment: Runic Echoes]] + a [[Tiamat]] which would turn into a [[Titanic Hydra]] later. If it reached late game I'd probably sell Runic Echoes for [[Enchantment: Cinderhulk]].[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/d5d36388d108174ace9df58fdd27c8e3.png width=700] [br] Seemed like a game where the pony could work well in the comp. Died more than I should have, but did have a decent impact on the game. Reliably smited everything except or second Baron. Nocturne popped over the wall with the blasting plant and got it. Probably should waved that one off since we had Elder and could have probably just punched them in the mouth with a team fight. Since they didn't have any real tanks I was able to sit on the [[Jinx]] and do some decent damage to her, which is also part of what got me killed a lot. But keeping her out of the fights for a while allowed our team to deal with the rest of their team, so it worked out in the end. Probably should have opted for a [[Guardian Angel]] as the [[Talon]] wasn't really trying to blow me up. Our [[Kog'Maw]] gave me ulcers with his predilection for side wave farming and splitpushing without a care that his support might be off somewhere else. They have a [[Nocturne]] and a [[Talon]]!!!!! And so he died many times basically for free slowing down what we were trying to do on the rest of the map. There is a reason teams run protect the Kog'Maw comps vs watch Kog'Maw split push comps.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/1e18e6af5ca3af42e2640009549dbbb5.png width=700] [br] Damn our [[Elise]] was tilted out of her mind. She got invaded and ended up handing over first blood, which likely didn't help her state of mind. When you've got that many deaths you need to shut your pie hole and just concentrate on playing. I screwed up early game when [[Elise]] came over to gank and accidentally put a 2nd point in E instead of W so that may have meant a failed ganks on [[Kennen]] I actually think from his positioning that we would not have gotten him, but sans [[Wither]] it definitely wasn't going to happen. Since we were doing so poorly everyone was all OMG you only have like 200 stacks. Yes, that is how many stacks I have. I also haven't died, having in fact dodged a tower dive by [[Riven]] and [[Kennen]], and have more farm than the rest of you, so shut the blank up and worry about your own game play. I'll get my stacks if and when we actually get to push out. My team was hellbent on over chasing. This got a bunch of them killed several times and prevented me from getting a couple of towers, since I had to back off with everyone else dead. Irritating game because of all the chatter in chat.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/49a964fbad414f71527db5a97164b738.png width=700] [br] Should have dodged the [[Xerath]] Top game. And of course it would be the one that is an asshole. Having a Bot lane that was getting destroyed didn't help matters. [[Annie]] was trying but she did a couple of suicidal things as well like chasing a low health target into their jungle with no vision and handing [[Tristana]] another kill.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/c75441ab6d031bc96c078b87c9815ba3.png width=700] [br] My [[Caitlyn]] was so bad. She had no idea about animation timing. I can't count the times she got killed or missed a kill because she was trying to put down a trap, or Q, or R someone, when she would have done more damage just auto attacking. That and she had no sense of map awareness, getting killed at least twice farming too far up in Mid lane. Not my night for the leagues.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/69a2285b855eb22fc7405c2cdbaf9e69.png width=700] [br] And I can't seem to buy a win tonight. [[Ahri]] kept deleting someone on our team before an actual fight ever broke out. [[Camille]] and I teamed up to kill off [[Galio]] several times in lane, but his ults proved more useful than my presence in team fights. [[Camille]] suggests we go Bot lane while she splits Top as no one on their team could 1v1 her. Well [[Galio]] apparently could. The lane was fine for stacking. All my deaths came after laning phase trying my team out. This is a lane I could probably try running CDR on. You just have to dodge [[Galio]]'s abilities which are pretty telegraphed. We needed some armor pen on [[Jinx]] or well, we would have if she stayed alive long enough to actually dish out some damage... You can't really bully [[Galio]] with [[Spirit Fire]] as his magic shield prevents most of the damage. Feel like playing [[Tryndamere]] and AFK split pushing. Lucian is idiotic with [[Blade of the Ruined King]].[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/ab9100082e90ac1f061a77d4b91840ab.png width=700] [br] Changed up my runes and masteries a bit on [[Shyvana]] for a somewhat healthier first clear. Also started going Raptors > Wolves [[Smite]] > Gromp > Blue [[Smite]] > Scuttle Crab > Look to gank/gather intel > Back > Krugs > Red > Raptors > Wolves > Gromp which I believe puts you at or very near 6th level though in the two games I did this I also picked up some lane farm. Our [[Darius]] did well this game.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/cbe7f4f12e76ad0718fc849c66dbf630.png width=700] [br] Our [[Darius]] this game did not do so well. He got solo killed by [[Gragas]] 5 times IIRC. [[Zed]] was not doing well against [[Diana]]. Bot lane was getting shoved in. I tried to make a couple of plays happen and wound up dying for my troubles. Frustrating when everyone is getting crapped on and you just can't managed to lay down quite enough damage to actually come out ahead in order to turn things around.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/3bb215c345b5eef18764d897bc2cf26d.png width=700] [br] This game basically hinged on a failed brush camp by my team. [[Nautilus]] and [[Ahri]] were probably standing on a ward waiting to tower dive [[Jayce]] as he came back to lane. Unfortunately they sat their long enough that [[Vi]] and [[Viktor]] were able to rotate over. I saw the setup and headed up there to back them up, but did not account fo the Viktor showing up. We might have been able to get out except [[Ahri]] used her ult to dash into the lane and [[Jayce]] played it well and knocked Ahri toward his turret away from the brush so he was able to continue dishing out damage on her. Naut went down very early. Ahri then followed and I ended up dying to the [[Vi]] + [[Viktor]]. The only reason it didn't immediately lead to a snowball is that we managed to steal Baron from them, which allowed us to make some progress, but no close the gap.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/43ad116c993f3b777ea4ef364f157b9e.png width=700] [br] My team had not idea what to do. Seriously frustrating. [[Jayce]] had a free tower in Mid, but he decided to come Bot lane, even though I waved him off. I'll lose the outer Bot tower for a Mid tower thanks. And we actually were able to defend it without him. So much disarray that [[Rengar]] was actually able to start picking people off. I guess I had been getting lucky in my climb with teams that had some sense of what they were supposed to be doing. This one was like watching a bunch of people run around with their head cut off...oy![/quote]
