So I had a friend that volunteered to help me by Duo Queueing with me. He is Silver 4, so we were facing Silver 3-Bronze 1 and had the same on our team both games.

The first game we went Sona/ Ezreal bot. He's a pretty good support, but plays more passive, at least early. We got stuck against a Leona/ Caitlyn and they were able to bully us so I had to try to CS under tower. Did a really bad job, but we ended up coming out of laning phase down around 25 CS but up a kill. Which wasn't bad considering how badly she had me shoved under tower all early game. Our Ryze top got fed against Nasus and our Nidalee was roaming from mid to help get kills, including catching their Rammus in the jungle and killing him. Everything was going well despite problems bot. Then, our Jarvan IV, Ryze, and Nidalee got to confident and started to throw. Don't get me wrong. We ended up losing partially because I thought I should go Blue Ez so I could kite Rammus and Nasus. That was a dumb mistake. I've been 3-0 with Ashe recently and should've picked her as I would've been doing more damage and brought more utility to the team. At the same time, I don't know if it would've been enough. Jarvan IV kept diving into the middle of their team with his EQ combo and getting incinerated, leaving it 4v5 without a tank. This wasn't a good start. Especially when it looked like a win not 10 minutes before we lost. Nasus got to free farm too much when Ryze got to roaming too much and once we pushed in the mid inhib, Caitlyn was able to farm in their base and got well ahead. Meanwhile our jungle was wiped out and creeps were all pushed. Hated how useless I felt this game. No more Blue Ez for me.

The second game...well, let's just saw when someone asked if Katarina was AP or AD, I knew we were gonna have problems. I was stuck supporting as my friend jungled. He went Nasus and I went Sona. I was able to bully the Leona/ Varus with my Q and the Ezreal on my team started out well. It was a much better laning phase this game, but our mid Karthus and top Teemo fed their Katarina and Jayce and it was pretty well GG.

My friend had to take a break, so I did too. Went and ate then came back to try another game. He was already in a game so I decided to Solo. I got first pick and talked to the second pick. He was going to Fizz or Singed top. With an AP top, I decided to Kha'Zix mid. After I locked in Kha, he went Fizz as he said he was a Fizz main. The opposing team locked in Evelynn jungle, Malzahar mid, and Singed top. So, I told Fizz to swap me as he countered Malz and I countered Singed. I derped early. I had Singed low and overextended to try and get a Q off to force him out of lane. He was able to Fling me over his head into tower range and slow me. I took two hits and he got off ignite and 1 auto. It was enough for ignite to do the rest of the work. Wouldn't have been so bad had Evelynn not camped me after that. Anyway, we had a chance to win, but I couldn't get our Udyr to baron when we had 4 of the 5 down including the jungler and Fizz got too confident and started roaming their jungle by himself.

So I started 0-3. Kicking myself because I had a chance at 2 wins in those 3 game and came out with none. Gonna have to start playing it safer and let them make the mistake.
