Views: 852 Caitlyn Count 4-0
|
So I'm sorry to say, but other things have taken my attention, and I have to skip over the 3-0 for now due to lolreplay not working for me at the moment. Something about a newer version of league is installed. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeegardless! I have the fourth installment ready for you, due to the fact I played it last night and it is still fresh in my mind.
Lane: Bot
Role: ADC
Champ: Caitlyn
Endgame total score: 13/4/13
Support: Nami
CS:209
End Build: Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster, Berserker Greaves, Phantom Dancer, Vampiric Scepter, Pickaxe.
Gold total: 17k
The game started off fairly terribly, actually. Their team didn't have a jungler, so we were expecting an invade, but unfortunately, we gave away three kills total and our Zed was denied his red buff. Post that, found out that the nunu bot support was a gold player last season, and caitlyn was harassing pretty hard so I'd say she wasn't new to this either. However, due to the fact that they didn't have a jungler and our top lane could actually hold his own as Fiora against a wukong/irelia, we slowly but surely got me some assists, and I eventually netted a solid outright kill on their caitlyn. Through extensive trapping, we made it to mid-game without much problems, though I was always behind on creep score compared to their cait, she didn't seem to build... well, quite as well as I did. At first I actually thought she was copying my build, but it seemed later that the way she was going was less efficient, and eventually she ended up getting rannuan's, the triple shot crossbowy thingly. I personally don't mind the item, it helps push, but in a game where it's necessary to do as much damage as possible? Anyways, back to mid game.
They forced a dragon and got it, pulling slightly ahead again despite us having caught up on kills. Our Zed was ganking constantly, and took out lil' caitlyn more than once, as an assassin ought to. Zed was likely the only member of our team who had an elo, when they still existed. At the moment he's taking a break from ranked, but I figure that means we kinda got the short end of the stick, as far as matchups are concerned. In any case, scroll forwards to about 15 minutes in, and suddenly, miraculously, I'm ahead of their caitlyn in items and level. This is because no matter what was going on in mid, Caitlyn was bot, pushing. You may say, "But Grey, that'd mean she were ahead of you!" And normally, I would agree with you, short of the fact that I had three shutdowns and a triple kill from going mid to help stop pushes so many times. Eventually it came to the point that the caitlyn going bot was a free kill for us. Further, at level 16, I went bot to push the lane, and low and behold, I was able to take Cait away from the fight in mid again, b'ing back before getting a double kill and an assist. I can only imagine how poorly that would have gone if their team had had Caitlyn there. End game, we scored an ace, pushed mid, and flat out took the nexus before they even came up. Team stats to follow.

I don't figure this'll draw very much attention,but feel free to comment if you want. All in all, I feel like this was actually a lucky win for me, rather than something that I earned. Given, I did do half decently, but if I hadn't had a team that I was on skype with and knew quite well, I don't think that this game would have gone as well as it did. Perhaps double top is still viable, as long as you have a roamer after such and such a level?
