Wintermond's Season 2 Solo Queue Journey

[quote=Wintermond]Hey guys! In this thread I will create a record of my SoloQueue ranked games during Pre Season/Season 2. This means that I will be posting a screenshot of most of my ranked games(That means when I'm not too lazy to do it) and briefly sum the game up. Doing this shows me my mistakes, things where I need to improve and bad habits I have to fix, shows me how much I improved my gameplay when I look back in the future and hopefully will give you guys a nice read, especially for those who are interesting in climbing the ELO ladder!

[quote=Crows foot]I will follow this closely. Might even do my own thread for my season 2. Will make sure to record it though! You sure can learn a lot from eyeing your own progress! Great idea :-)[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Duo Queue with Searz, difference of ~150 ELO.

I kept my lane pressured and went 2/0, mid lane lost to Xerath, bottom lane lost HARD to a Vayne/Alistar combo and our Jungler Udyr(Searz) did an overall good job and constantly ganked lanes and took camps from Jarvan. Bot was not warding, what lead to some successfull gnaks by Jarvan and made it hard for our Jungler to gank there. I lost the domination at top when I got really cocky and got killed by Akali, followed by a double kill: When I was baiting her in for Searz to gank she went invis before Searz could stun her and killed me. Then Jarvan approached and Akali got the kill on Searz. When the laning phase was over, the enemy's Vayne was just melting through our Team, which lead(Together with a kinda fed Akali) to our quick surrender. ------------ Kinda sad about this, the game started so well. :\ Thanks Crows Foot, I will put a lot of effort into this! :)[/quote]

My greatest mistake was a 1v5, my greed is my biggest weakness.[/quote]

They constantly complained that I wasn't ganking while they were either pushing or dead. Q.Q[/quote]

Annie Winter and me all played ok, but at times we got really greedy and took one or 2 teammates with us into the "abyss".[/quote]

Next time Winter decides to tower dive 1v5, I'm not damn well following him. :P[/quote]
