Solo Queue


I was playing Phoenix Jungle Udyr this time and it looked like we'd lose this one in the first minutes, but we turned the game slowly but steady.
I did the usual agressive path (Wolves-Blue-Wraiths-Golems-Red) and went for a lot of roaming after my clear.
Bottom lane was playing really bad(At least that Sona did, that Ashe hit 100% of her arrows late), but I managed to help them with some ganks, especially bush ganks(sneaking into the lane bushes from your tower without being seen by the enemys) hit them hard.
Top was doing good, but that Irelia was very greedy and got picked up chasing a few times.
Kassadin was very good and got fed when I counterganked mid around ~8-9 minutes into the game and he killed annie and nocturne.
We got into some small teamfights at dragon midgame and lost the first one which gave them the first dragon, but after that we focused annie and won pretty much every fight, we exploited her bad positioning every time.
I farmed the side lanes a lot when nothing was going on and got my equip together pretty quick(for a jungler). In fights I made sure to stick on Annie and Ezreal , they were the only targets we were interested in and I was pretty invulnerable with wit's end, wriggles, phage and my shield.
Eventually we would kill 2 of them at Baron when we were sneaking around there as 5 and did a quick baron immideately after.
Then it was pretty much game and we were raping through their base. :q

I was playing Phoenix Udyr, but usually I play Tiger Udyr. I used to like it more because of the higher early game damage, but Phoenix Udyr allows you to get your equip so much faster with that incredible farming. I often found myself not getting Triforce on Tiger Udyr because I relied more on kills than on farm and you don't have this problem with Phoenix.
Phoenix is much more better for Solo Queue. Get farm, win games.

Yay, Akali.
Akali is one of my favourite champions atm since she is really strong on lane once she hits 6 and super hard to outlane when she gets her Hextech Revolver. She also got some huge carry potential and can carry a game all alone as long as her team plays meatshield.
This time I was laning against Warwick top, not really a counterpick but a good laner against Akali because he deals good damage and outsustains her Q's without problems.
He hit me a lot pre 6 and I used all my potions at lvl 5 when Jarvan came ganking top. Warwick got really low and ran into the river bush to bait us into morgana, but I flashed over her Q and killed WW(Got really low there and nearly died).
Morgana was laning mid against Talon and had some huge problems against him, so she switched lanes with Warwick and I was laning against Morgana.
Morgana really is one ***** to lane against as Akali. You have to wait for her to use her Snare or bait it out and even if her snare is on cooldown she can ult you when you attack her. I got really low at times where she would Ult, snare and Ignite me but I always survived it(Akali's lifesteal is OP, Ult=get out of jail card).
However, I got really greedy one time when I was chasing Morgana (she had >100hp, I had ~250 hp) and dived her under the turret. I killed her, but she just got the mana for a Q and I was trapped under the turret(Planned to R out of the turret to minions).
Bottom lane was doing really well, out Taric and Caitlyn had a good synergy and were both good. Jarvan was playing really well and ganked every lane often and Talon did a good job aswell.
We had some nice Dragon control and managed to get every Dragon in the game and won all teamfights that occured at dragon.
We did an overall really good job at focusing and I always jumped on their MF and Sona first since those were the easiest targets for me and MF had #1 priority(Morgana is hard to assassinate with her shield).
Then it was the same old story: We took an early baron after we killed Morgana and crunched through their base and got their Inhibitor, won the next teamfights and won the game.


Akali is a really powerful hero in Solo Queue, especially on Europe where people are not used to playing against her atm and screw up countering her besides of counterpicks for the lane.
Dragon control is one of the most important things in the game. Dragon gives your Team a huge gold and XP bonus and should ALWAYS be under control, when you lose dragon control you know that something is wrong with your team, because Dragon control is most of the time more coordination than overall teamstrength, you have to do Dragon when one or more of the enemy's team can't make it to Dragon in time.

Yay, Akali! :3
This game was one of the easiest games I've ever had.
I was at top against Malzahar and Riven came for a lvl 2 gank which gave me FB.
When Malzahar returned, Riven was still lurking in the enemy's Jungle and came for another gank and we killed him again. Then she was recalling in the top lane bush when Fiddle came to pick us up(we were both 1/3 hp) and we killed him. 3 kills in the first ~4 minutes.
I stayed on the lane until I was lvl 6 to get revolver and full stacks on my ultimate to completely destroy this Malzahar. One of my combo's(RQE) ripped off 2/3 of his HP and I got really fed.
Riven roamed around like crazy, destroying their complete earlygame. The Teamscore was something like 15/2 13 Minutes into the game and we just stomped them.
They surrendered at 20.


Riven is one hell of a strong jungler and ganker, she might be T1 worthy when more ppl play her and omptimize her gameplay, she has extremely destrucitve ganks at all levels already.
