Morde: if youre running teleport you need to set up to never die in lane, trading excessively will put you at a disadvantage if the enemy is runnig a combat summoner. You simply died too many times in lane, and then overestimated your survivability in teamfights. Shyv: your biggest mistake was dying at level 4 at their wraiths. When making an invade, especially that early, you need to take a couple of things into consideration. 1: the position of your / enemy laners and jungler. 2: if the enemy catches you can you escape / turn and kill esp with the aid of a nearby laner. Etc. its basic risk reward, but if 2. is a negative the risk is usually not worth it that early. Especially when the reward is only a wraith camp, take the above into consideration more. The fact that tf had a red buff at level 5 (and then hit 6 to gank bottom) drastically changed both the laning middle as well as giving enemy control over the tempo of the game. Trist janna: a bit more passivity, especially since your lane hard outscales the dangerous taric graves, would be helpful; if played correctly, you should also be difficult to gank, even for tf. Keeping a basic ward outside of the tribush in order to know whether naut was coming from tribush or dragon pit could have been enough to keep you safe from 4 man ganks (along with vision of / ward in lane bush) until i could apply more pressure on tf alone. Also, trist could have picked up 2 kills when i died but got none; likewise, janna can ult / tornado where tf is porting to as soon as his ult is finishing to prevent his wild cards (if not his gold card if impeccably timed). | ||

They're too scurred to talk down to people over voice chat.. all the more reason to have everyone in TS though — it helps keep attitudes in check. If anything gets too out of hand you can post it here or PM me.. I've seen a couple people get a little mad but nothing bad enough for me to tell them to cut it out. | ||

If I have it set to directed I won't miss as much but it's annoying when I want to manually see something and it switches on its own after 5 seconds, so I have to start using hotkeys and switching back and forth. I watched your casting thing, you really to improve on your map awareness. Missing a lot of action. Don't use the hotkeys excuse. Memorize the hotkeys and learn to read the minimap movement for possible engagements. (For example let's say there is a tristana on a team and you see her icon on the mini map move extremely fast onto another icon...that probably means she just jumped onto and opponent which means you immediately switch the camera to her. If you get really good at this you can actually start predicting when she will jump and you will have the camera ready before it even happens. To do this you need to look at HP bars / Ult availability / Summoner Spells availability and see who is a potential kill) I could go on but meh just keep practicing. | ||

It wasn't an excuse, I actually have to start using them because I wasn't before...? O.o Thanks for the advice though I will definitely work on improving later tonight! | ||

First, they are really fun. Everyone is pretty laid back, even when certain persons go 0-8 as their pro support Janna. >___> Second, I think it might be helpful to the people trying to improve if we utilized the in-game pause function. If a better player sees an opponent doing something ridiculously wrong, perhaps we could pause the game at that moment and try to help the player on the spot. I wouldn't want to do this every single game (would get tedious and interrupt the flow), but perhaps if a game or two per night were designated as games of this sort? Simply playing against higher elo players is ridiculously helpful on its own, but sometimes you don't realize why they're crushing you, and it might just be an easy fix to your gameplay that can be done mid-game (for example, those games when mindbreaker was getting harassed pretty badly - if vowels or someone else paused the game every so often during lane and was like 'yo, stand in the creeps so I can't Q your face' he might have gotten better as the game went on). Third, and it relates to the second: all of the higher elo players are quite gracious when playing with us, but if it's obvious you're gonna roll someone in your lane, it might be a fun (for you) and informative experience (for them) if early game you explain to them how you're going to kill them and when/why. The thought process behind some things is often more useful than the mechanics themselves. :D | ||
