I seem to have misplaced some of my photos. I did all four of these games right on the same day, and lost my focus a bit on the first two: I have no screenshots of the results or loading screens. I shall whip this adventure series back into shape for the next 10.

Game: 7

I tried to play Kennen mid. I've always seen Kennen as a really strong mage, and with my recent successes at playing Ryze, I thought I might be able to handle a more challenging champion. I've played Orianna before, and she wasn't that hard. How bad could it really be? Teemo was not nice to me, and... Read More

In the pre-game chat, we were ***inged roles by one of the fellows on our team.

My list as of an hour ago was: Ryze, my very first and favorite magic dealing champion, Yorick, because he wins the sustain game so hard, Alistar, if I ever was forced into the support role, and Amumu, because he's so cute.
