Wayne3100's Quest for Platinum (Season 3)

[quote=PsiGuard]Maxing E also means you can just spam health and CDR early game and still deal massive damage. :D[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Good luck and keep going![/quote]

[[Darius]] got First Blood in a gank top, then got another kill (not sure if top again or bot) and eventually came mid to pick up his killing spree. I then killed [[Katarina]] again as she decided it'd be a good idea to [[Shunpo]] on me in tower range (lol) while [[Darius]] was still doing work ganking bot and top. The enemy [[Cho'gath]] came mid twice but never really threatened to kill me as I dodged his [[Rupture]]s and he also got counterganked on one of his attempts to help his bottom lane, after which he was pretty much useless. Not sure why they didn't surrender (they got their first kill after we had gotten 8 and were literally getting stomped left, right and center), but we figured that if they weren't gonna give up we'd simply continue killing them in the lanes or enemy jungle. Eventually we grabbed Baron and finished the game. First ranked game this season in which I hit 100+ cs at 12 minutes (which in normals actually happens more often), but then again the game was so easy there wasn't much for me to be nervous about like in the other games :P Elo according to my profile: 1386 (5 lower than I started with after the reset, QQ) [/quote] How can you have gold swords with only 8 games?[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]That's still my verification from last season, Pølse. I'm not sure how long ago it got verified though because the profile keeps giving me today's date rather than when it was actually verified. It runs out after a couple of months or something, right?[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Yeah, but who knows when it'll show your right elo? This is why I suggested wiping elos clean for S3 in the vet forums, but to heavy criticism about the idea.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]It's 3 months, so my verification will be gone on my dad's birthday, January 16[sup]th[/sup][/quote]

Our third pick said he wanted to support, then our first pick said he wanted to support too and when our third pick started complaining saying he "called it first", our first pick simply said: "That's great, but I'm picking first ;)". So instead our third pick said he wanted to top (I was fourth pick, so despite having said I wanted top, I had to accept I wasn't gonna get it, QQ) and picked [[Akali]]. The opponents then picked [[Garen]] and the guy started being negative again. Based on his attitude, I'm guessing he was about 12 years old. I had to jungle in the end - which I hate - but I figured I'd give it a try and picked [[Olaf]] (first champ this season I've picked more than once after 9 games played, lol). I didn't really have optimal runes for him but I figured a simple arpen/AD combo would do. For anyone wondering, I didn't take [[Bladed Armor]] because I've simply stolen buffs with it too often. Normally, when I'm playing with friends, I don't care as much, but knowing how childish people in soloq can be I didn't wanna risk it happening now. I wanted to start by ganking top early, but when I came to lane I noticed [[Akali]] had started with [[Amplifying Tome]] + 1 [[Health Potion]] while [[Garen]] had [[Rejuvenation Bead]], 6 [[Health Potion]]s and a [[Sight Ward]]. Sigh. Anyway, I waited for [[Akali]] to hit level 2 (which, luckily, she did earlier than [[Garen]]) and ran in, but we got counterganked by [[Shaco]] and [[Akali]] died, giving [[Garen]] First Blood. She pretty much said top was lost at that point (which was true, but more because of her starting items than the gank) so I decided to focus on other lanes. As I came bot to gank the first time, [[Sona]] died seconds before I arrived, but I managed to pick up a double kill minutes later (before unfortunately dying to tower damage) and, at the same time, [[Morgana]] killed [[Cho'gath]] in mid lane. [[Akali]] kept playing aggressively despite being behind, so she soon died again and was level 3 when [[Garen]] was level 6. At this point she said "sorry I have to afk", but [[Graves]] suggested she should go bot with [[Sona]] while he'd take over top. Instead, [[Akali]] ran mid to "gank" [[Cho'gath]] (I'm going to guess that was what she planned to do despite her execution being absolutely awful) and stayed there when the gank failed, stealing some of [[Morgana]]'s cs. Eventually, she did go bot and the lane actually worked out really well. [[Graves]] obviously had trouble top and died one more time to give [[Garen]] the killing spree, but he played it really well after that and managed to stay equal in cs without dying. Meanwhile I counterjungled their [[Shaco]] and helped [[Morgana]] pick up some more kills in mid lane / at the enemy wraith camp as she got pretty fed. We decided to help top together right as [[Garen]] was about to dive [[Graves]] and a good [[Morgana]] snare caught him in tower range, allowing [[Graves]] to shut him down. Despite not ganking much after that, I made sure to buy a lot of (pink) wards to give us good map control, which my team eventually used to -quite successfully- start fighting in their jungle. From there it snowballed to our advantage as we managed to pick up several Dragons and [[Morgana]] got even more fed, with [[Sona]], [[Akali]] and [[Graves]] all being pretty strong as well. In teamfights I usually just ran at [[Ezreal]] to make sure he'd be zoned from the fight, but [[Morgana]] was obviously the one doing most of the work with some good snares and ultimates. We pushed down several towers before getting two inhibitors and Baron (didn't fail my [[Smite]] despite an [[Ezreal]] ult being close to stealing it, yay!), after which we finished it off.

We got killed early in bot lane during a [[Master Yi]] gank because [[Taric]] hadn't warded the river (I think it was Yi who picked up First Blood), but I managed to pick up a kill and I stayed ahead of [[Tristana]] in cs after that despite missing a huge wave. [[Tristana]] got heavily fed during the game as she picked up kills on [[Rengar]] (who kept invading their jungle despite us telling him not to), [[Taric]] and - eventually - me, but in teamfights she'd use her [[Rocket Jump]] to jump in and then she'd be stunned and blown up instantly. I wonder how she even got so fed considering how amazingly bad she was, but ok. [[Katarina]] did really well throughout the game, [[Singed]] did well against [[Jayce]] and I came back into it despite still not farming well at all, so yeah, not much to say. Apart from some good early ganks by them and our derp [[Rengar]] a pretty one-sided game. [b][color=red]ELO:[/color][/b] 1450 Oh btw, since I've played 10 games now, I'll be looking into making a video of some sorts soon. Not quite sure whether I'll just analyse some of my play, make a top plays/fails video or something completely different, I have to check the replays first before I can make a decision about that.[/quote]
