[quote=Jovy]...cause i wasn't there to say good luck..? :P[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]@Jai: Not sure, laptop was being a bit slow in general but internet connection should always be fine. @Jovana: Probably.. :P [center][color=red][h2]Game 14[/h2][/color][/center] [center]Solo Queue[/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/sHvcF.jpg][/center] [center][b][h2][color=red][url=http://www.leaguereplays.com/replays/match/1871531/]REPLAY[/url][/color][/h2][/b][/center] Restarted my laptop, played again, no connection issues luckily. I was very surprised with the strength of AD [[Jayce]] early as me and [[Blitzcrank]] were having a hard time and his [[To The Skies! / Shock Blast]] was dealing a lot of damage. I got behind in cs quite a bit, which wasn't helped by the fact my partner didn't land any of his grabs when he tried pulling one of our enemies under the tower. The problem, however, was in mid and top. The enemy [[Zyra]] (who turned out to be 1600ish after the game) stomped our [[Katarina]] and [[Irelia]] did the same top to [[Nidalee]]. My teammates all blamed [[Malphite]] for it ofc (who did fine as far as I could tell, had some good ganks bottom) and [[Irelia]] snowballed like there's no tomorow. Meanwhile we were regaining control bottom (and to be fair, [[Blitzcrank]] did eventually have some nice pulls) and I managed to close the gap in cs a bit and get back into the game with my kills. Teamfights were mostly onesided and [[Skarner]] did a good job of catching people out of position (one of those times it was me unfortunately, need to stop making silly mistakes). Lost "only" 15 elo because of the somewhat highly rated [[Zyra]]. Funny thing is she was on my team before someone dodged. [color=red][b]ELO:[/b][/color] 1454 ----- And so, after 14 games, I'm back at the elo where I started. I was close to gold, but have a long way to go now. I didn't play too well in my [[Morgana]] game, was unlucky in my [[Ezreal]] game and played decent in my [[Corki]] game, it's a shame I lost 60 elo over the course of only 3 games. I am confident, however, when I say I'm good enough to reach gold. Just need to keep my chin up and step up my game. Stop making silly mistakes. Even if I'm not to blame for the loss overall (which was the case in the [[Morgana]] and [[Corki]] game), that doesn't mean I don't make mistakes. I am aware of them, and I will work on it.[/quote]

The enemy team already had [[Jax]] and although I've had success against him before with [[Kennen]], his late game is so strong I wanted to play something that wouldn't have to worry as much about being outscaled into late game. The lane went well as I got an advantage in cs quite early and I picked up a kill when [[Alistar]] ganked top. I had the clear advantage from that point on and the gap was only increased after [[Shyvana]] tried a gank to help [[Jax]]: Both of them chased me, [[Jax]] eventually gave up, [[Shyvana]] didn't, I turned around and killed her and picked up her blue buff. After that I bought a couple of [[Doran's Blade]]s + [[Ninja Tabi]] into [[Phage]] while [[Jax]]' early items were [[Vampiric Scepter]], [[Boots of Speed]] and [[Heart of Gold]]. At that point I had little to be worried about. [[Shyvana]] had not only fed me blue, but also given first blood to [[Anivia]] mid at her first attempt to gank. After that, [[Anivia]] did a good job at keeping her cs equal through the early levels and after that she started outfarming [[Morgana]]. In teamfights, [[Anivia]] proved just how strong she is with a couple of killer walls, nice stuns and a lot of damage. She was easily the MVP this game as she just snowballed out of control and played fantastically throughout. Although the bot lane actually started out even and [[Ezreal]] and [[Graves]] both picked up some kills, [[Graves]] dealt a lot of AoE damage and picked up kills in late game teamfights to snowball just as hard as [[Anivia]] (though he was focused a bit more and died more often as a result of that). Not really sure about the decisive moments in this game, but we had good dragon control and won teamfights quite easily with the advantage we got from the laning phase.[/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Changed the roster in the OP; drastically reduced the overall number of champions I'll use. Edit: [h2]Champions dropped[/h2] Support: [[Taric]], [[Soraka]], [[Lulu]], [[Yorick]] AD: [[Miss Fortune]], [[Ashe]], [[Vayne]], [[Sivir]] AP: [[Galio]], [[Cassiopeia]] Top: [[Riven]], [[Renekton]] Jungle: [[Nocturne]], [[Udyr]], [[Shyvana]] Might add one of these champions again later, but as of right now, I am either not good enough with them, don't think they're good enough to keep in my roster or think they're just no fun to play at all.[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]It's ok. I think I'm only good enough with like 3 champs to play in ranked! 8D Gotta wait till Ezreal is less flavor of the month so people stop banning / picking him! I think it is better to have 2-3 champs per role you're REALLY good at than a lot of champs per role. Sure you're less flexible but it's usually good enough so you don't end up at a disadvantage from picks.[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]You need to farm better/more. :P[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Yes sir![/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Keep on keeping on :) Remember, after 25 games, I was about 20 elo less than I started, so we all do that, I think. Drop down and then raise up. gl with future games! Nearly gold again :)[/quote]
