Yeah, I picked [[Cho'gath]] this game because it turns out I had to go top (last pick), wanted to pick [[Lee Sin]], they picked [[Yorick]], I've played [[Lee Sin]] against him before and it didn't work out and I figured "oh, Cho is supposed to do ok against him, let's try this". He's not in my roster. I don't play [[Cho'gath]]. I have no idea what to build on him or how to play him against [[Yorick]]. I figured out what to max while playing. In a ranked game, after dodging earlier for no reason at all and after being worried about playing ranked in general for a while now, I do something like this. Real Wayne. So anyway, the problem started when I didn't really have a great rune page so I decided to go for a tanky AD page (no tanky AP page available QQ). Like I said, I then realised I barely know what to build on this guy because back when I used to main him (pre-lvl 30) I used to play him 1v2 top and I've not really played him solo top often since then. As a result, I lost my lane to [[Yorick]] quite easily (he killed me twice whereas I only killed him once after I asked [[Nunu]] to gank), built [[Philosopher's Stone]] in an attempt to simply stay sustained and prevent dying, then -after that failed- [[Wit's End]] as I figured it would go well with my AD (too bad I was maxing [[Rupture]] instead of [[Vorpal Spikes]] which is usually what you buy Wits for though), then [[Ninja Tabi]] (cuz cheap) then [[Abyssal Scepter]] and finally sold Philo for [[Deathfire Grasp]] (so random @.@) and was behind on farm too. However, my team did well. [[Nunu]] controlled his jungle well, stole [[Shyvana]]'s red on level 1 with a sneaky move (he placed a ward near her red, then waited for her to start it and ran in to [[Smite]] + [[Consume]] it before running away with red), made sure we got pretty much all dragons (and one Baron, though that wasn't really because of him) and had some good ganks too. [[Orianna]] mid gave first blood to [[Gragas]] and flamed [[nunu]] for it saying he should react to her pings, but she did fine after that and had decent/good ultimates in all fights except for one where she said she lagged. Bot lane really dominated as [[Ezreal]] got fed heavily (despite [[Leona]] unfortunately picking up some kills too) and it was in bot lane that most of the action happened overall. Not only did I regularly receive the message that one of my teammates bot had gotten a kill, but there were also a lot of ganks from the enemy [[Shyvana]] or even [[Shyvana]]+[[Gragas]] together at times. Because of the great jungle control and the fed [[Ezreal]], it turned out not to matter much that [[Yorick]] had outfarmed me top ([[Cho'gath]] is still a beast in teamfights late game) and we snowballed out of control until finally we won a teamfight with 3 kills against 0, [[Ezreal]] and (I think) [[nunu]] decided to chase all the way to the enemy base for a fourth kill as the rest of us got Baron and we then grouped up and killed their Nexus. Let's just say I got away with this one.

[quote=Wayne3100][center][color=red][h2]Game 9[/h2][/color][/center] [center]Solo Queue[/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/u19rO.jpg][/center] [center][b][h2][color=red][url=http://www.leaguereplays.com/replays/match/1553529/]REPLAY[/url][/color][/h2][/b][/center] So apparently I took a screenshot so fast that the client didn't even include [[Lee Sin]]'s art.... o_o But anyway, I am very, very happy about this game. I went top with [[Lee Sin]] as I feel most comfortable on him. I faced [[Rengar]] who I hadn't faced before, so I went [[Cloth Armor]] + 5x [[Health Potion]] just to be safe. The game started with us going for an invade (we were against an [[Amumu]] and with [[blitzcrank]] in our team, seemed only natural), but it didn't work out as we hoped as we ran into the enemy team and lost 2 of our team members after [[Ezreal]] had picked up first blood. I got a kill top as both [[Cho'gath]] and [[Amumu]] came to gank and - after [[Rengar]] escaped - [[Amumu]] thought he could take us on 1v2 just because he had full health while we didn't. Only a few seconds later, however, [[Corki]] picked up two kills bottom lane to secure a killing spree (after picking up 1 of the 2 kills in the early fight in their jungle). [[Ahri]] ganked top as soon as I came back in the lane and I managed to kill [[Rengar]] with my ult after he stealthed to try and finish me off (we were both low). [[Ahri]] then had another good gank bottom in which she got a double kill (despite [[Blitzcrank]] unfortunately dying to [[Amumu]]), while [[Cho'gath]] came to help me dive [[Rengar]] top. We lacked the damage to kill him, however, and [[Veigar]] came from mid and killed [[Cho'gath]] while [[Rengar]] recalled. Luckily, I killed [[Veigar]] seconds later to pick up a killing spree. My teammates started to flame each other after [[Corki]] got a double kill and went 6/1 shortly after, but I told them to focus and keep their chins up. [[Ahri]] then got caught in the enemy jungle which resulted in a fight in which all 5 of us died, [[Blitzcrank]] and [[Ahri]] died again after respawning and chasing the enemy [[Rengar]] who was low and the enemy team picking up Dragon. Very, very bad moment for us. 5 of our 11 kills at that point were also on me, which got me worried as the enemy team had positive scores on [[Corki]], [[Veigar]] and [[Rengar]] (who had picked up kills in teamfights, zzzz >.>). After [[Ahri]], [[Cho'gath]] and I shut down [[Amumu]] and [[Rengar]] with some nice play in top lane and [[Ahri]] picked up two more kills (on [[Leona]] and [[Veigar]]) before escaping with low hp, the enemy team got another Dragon, but this time we were around and forced a fight in which we killed 3 and only lost 1. [[Ezreal]] then decided to be generous and hand [[Veigar]] a free kill, pretty much being the partypooper at that point. [[Corki]] kept on snowballing, picking up another triple kill in a teamfight at which point I again had to motivate my team and convince them we were very much still in it. The next fight near Baron ended up 5-4 in their favour but showed the game was still close (especially since I died without ulting). We then picked up Dragon and got 3 kills while only losing 1 team member and went for Baron. [[Ezreal]] got caught out of position while we were doing it though (for some reason he was in the enemy jungle) and we got aced after I got a double kill, which resulted in us not being able to use the Baron buff at all (but hey, at least we got the gold! 8D). The game was finally decided when [[Blitzcrank]] grabbed, silenced and [[Exhaust]]ed [[Corki]] in the next teamfight, we stomped them completely (5 kills for 1) and pushed down the second mid turret, inhibitor turret, the mid inhibitor, both Nexus turrets and - last but not least - the Nexus in one go.
