VexRoth - All That Is Ranked

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/2e843c8e812e23055adf9a2cd4229f40.png width=700] [br] This one turned kind of epic. [[Nasus]] was crushing [[Master Yi]] in Top lane with some help from [[Lee Sin]]. He was staking like a boss and between him and [[Ekko]] splitpushing they managed to get our Top turret and inhibitor. But that was the last structure they got in our base. After that we managed to win every team fight even if only by the slimmest of margins. [[Caitlyn]] commented that she was huge and if she could just get some peel we were gucchi. I said they shall not touch you ma'am. And barring an occasional hiccup (weird interaction with my ult and a wall in tight spot) I kept the fiends off of her so she could lay out damage unmolested. Apparently [[Ekko]]'s ult cooldown at 40 or 45% CDR is disgustingly low as he managed to ult more than once in some of the more protracted fights. Or he would use it to get away in one lane only to show up to the a team fight in another lane with it up again. But late game [[Master Yi]] in conjunction with a pretty fed [[Ahri]] and [[Caitlyn]] proved to be too much for them. They got Elder Dragon and ran over to Baron and we wiped them at Baron. Still it wasn't until we got our inhibitor back up that we were able make some progress. We managed to crush them in another team fight, took Elder Dragon, then ran over to Baron except I didn't have [[Smite]] up. But we luckily managed to secure it and ran all but two of them down after and then ran up Mid to break their Nexus for the win. Whew!!![/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/b59ab79b6f0a0a126706813e377aaa21.png width=700] [br] Our [[Twisted Fate]] was a beast. He crushed [[Yasuo]] solo and then ported around the map snowballing the other lanes. He would get to places before I could get over there and already have everyone dead. Got a little work done in the late game, but really just got on my teams back made sure they walked away with the win. Need to try a Raptor clear with Gragas to see if I can level up just a wee bit faster. Not sure if I am just getting more used to the modified ult or if it is just that I am not trying to throw it at max range as often, but it seems like it is a easier to hit with it than the last time I played Gragas after they changed it.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/67c4524f02ffdc14cc8e81f873961761.png width=700] [br] This was kind of a weird for me in the early game. Pretty sure I didn't have enough damage to kill [[Shen]] between myself and [[Nautilus]] unless Naughty managed to get him low before I got there. [[Jayce]] was getting crapped on by [[Taliyah]]. I watched him shoot a shock blast backwards while trying to farm under turret, so I was not sold that he would be of much help in a gank. Bot lane was shoved in but they had their lane warded so they were able to back off when I tried to swing by for a gank. In retrospect I should have come in from behind after going over one of the pit walls. [[Jayce]] did managed to help Nautilus out with some roam plays. And Bot lane after having some troubles early started to pick up some kills so things started to turn around for us. Late game, [[Twitch]] was able to massacre them with some stuns from me to keep [[Hecarim]] and [[Shen]] off of him and [[Soraka]] to keep him healed up. Not sure we would have won that one without [[Soraka]] which is funny as that person asked to for Top or Jg since were autofilled and claimed not to be a very capable support. And of course after I comment on the ease of hitting [[Explosive Cask]] I have a game where I bungle several of them. Just because you throw it behind someone does not mean that they will be knocked toward you. If someone could tell him how to master that damn thing I would be grateful.[/quote]

[quote=FatelBlade]Go into the practice tool and simply practice the barrel toss. It won't be much help for moving targets but you'll be able to tell how it affects things at different distances.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/67449f9d2f33c7afbc2bac988b1eee1f.png width=700] [br] No lanes winning and I got invaded on my Red side and their laners responded before my laners did, which was pretty much the story of the game - Sluggish responses from my team and no one willing to commit to a fight. GG.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/840b03d81102ce9655a40fc3c1a16178.png width=700] [br] Got Baron. They got Elder. [[Fiddlesticks]] went into our jungle for some reason and got caught out [[Lucian]] went to help him. They both died. (this is of course after I told everyone to chill and let Elder wear off because Baron lasted longer). Ahri died to [[Renekton]]. I finished off Renekton, but couldn't stop them from taking our base. So this one turned on basically some last minute fail by us after we made a good comeback from pretty far behind. Sad panda.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/85793ab6863766922c0f55059ed0307c.png width=700] [br] My turn for a stomp. Did a raptor > ward red > wolves > krugs > blue clear (doing raptors is a little slow but you don't lose as much health as you might expect I suppose due to the Tooth effect on [[Hunter's Talisman]]). Dropped a ward for [[Sion]] and then killed scuttle crab. By that time he had [[Quinn]] low enough for a almost at her turret dive. I [[Flash]] [[Body Slam]]med her from behind the terrain near her tower. [[Sion]] finished her off. [[Syndra]] and I teamed up to kill [[Udyr]] and [[Ziggs]] a couple of times each. Sion had control of Top and top side jungle. AD Sion for the win? [[Thresh]] and [[Lucian]] started getting wards into the Bot side of their jungle so we had a good idea where there were all at most of the time. Which let us set up some death bushes to further our lead. If we needed to break their siege defense, [[Sion]] would just come barreling in from downtown forcing them of their turrets. Fun game though I wouldn't have wanted to have been on the other side having just been there myself not that long ago.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][quote=FatelBlade]Go into the practice tool and simply practice the barrel toss. It won't be much help for moving targets but you'll be able to tell how it affects things at different distances.[/quote] I did spend some time in the practice tool playing around with the ultimate. It is pretty straightforward with stationary targets. The practice did seem to help when I went and played against moving targets, but there are definitely weird interactions at times.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/f823405b5f54f5fda365037feb497ddd.png width=700] [br] 3000k True Damge [[Garen]] Ult. Uhm, why did I bother building tanky again? We had some well farmed laners but they weren't dominating. I helped [[Yasuo]] kill [[Fizz]] a couple of times, but it wasn't enough to snow ball him. Late game we did somewhat better, but cancer stick [[Soraka]] made it hard to kill anyone despite three [[Mortal Reminder]] on our team. After [[Fizz]] I helped Bot lane a couple of times. I guess I should have gotten to Top lane earlier? But Bot lane was kind of struggling without help. Really screwed up a gank that might have helped with Bot where I threw might ult before [[Flash]]ing which is not what I wanted to do at all. Should have been [[Body Slam]] + [[Flash]] + [[Explosive Cask]]. Really did not feel tanky at all some fights.[/quote]

[quote=VexRoth][img=https://i.gyazo.com/5486f89983737830e7b5c14d4619bad0.png width=700] [br] Second pick so I didn't know who I would be against. Not really sure what a decent generic Top pick is, but since I have been playing the croc some I went with it. [[Shen]] is kind of and irritating match-up. I think you need to bait out his circle thing and I wasn't doing that. Not sure if it is even possible really since he can just taunt you into the circle if you just autoattack him. [[Lee Sin]] helped me kill him a couple of times, but Bot lane got destroyed and Lee got melted a few times by [[Kog'Maw]] to make him even bigger.[/quote]
