13 deaths Swain while tanking 57k damage, rest of the team only tanked around 30-35k each... except for Rengar who tanked 60k and only died 7 times. >_>

I felt so miserable, Lux/Sona/Ashe all long-enough range/poke to hang in the back, Eve has W to dodge mine easy as pie, and I really don't want to "catch" the full tank Shen and initiate on him. Then the teamfights usually went enemy team pussying out until we're close to an objective, either Ashe hits an ult or Eve bumrushes us with her ult and Shen's, Shen taunts me and I can only activate my ult, drop Q or W and Zhonya, just to get killed before I can get any spells off as I become targetable again.
But when your team is Cait, Zyra, Rengar, Shaco and you're the closest thing the team has to a frontline you gotta take one for the team. ;_;

I wish I had the replay of that game so I could look at the teamfights again, because as is I don't know if I fucked up and should have hanged back with the others and only tried to kite/peel for Cait, or if standing there to draw attention from their fed Ashe and absorb one or 2 cc was the right call.
It's not like I'd do much damage because his E animation is clunky as hell and his W has a bit of a cast time as well so most of the time only one spell would go off before I'd die (despite coming out of Zhonya with ~1k HP). Maybe I should have just went balls out tanky with FH or some shit, but it's so hard to farm as Swain (or other DoT/periodic damage oriented mages like Morgana) when the team starts grouping and everyone kills creeps so fast you barely get any. Emphasises the importance of a good laning phase where you've got to farm as much as possible I guess.

I barely clawed my way to gold last season (with hours left until the deadline) and now I'll have to barely claw my way back again---no improvement this year it seems.

My biggest obstacle is that goddamn ladder anxiety (don't need advice on that, already know all the logic behind it, sadly anxiety often flies in the face of a cool head). Must stream and force myself through it.

I think I'm going to but an IP boost sat or sun and just grind solo q all day. Anyone interested in watching that?

You'll be fighting the NA play-offs depending on time. I'll at least have your stream in the background and watch it when not otherwise busy, though.

Been working on my smurf acct to try and get it to gold, got my first ever 10 win streak .

I got Sivir one games and tried the new Phage/Triforce on her, seemed REALLY strong, found I was topping 600MS with boots2 in most teamfights. I really like what they did with the new Phage, so much more interesting than the old one.

Oh hmmm.
Shows how much attention I've been paying to LCS this season.
Bleah alright maybe I don't play then or wait until playoffs are done for the day?
Or maybe wait till monday. Guess I'll see.

Me and my friend when he used to play jungle ezreal referred to buffs > top a free first blood whenever we did ezreal jungle. Can't escape that ranged red buff mang.

Wave, playing during NA playoffs is hit or miss. everyone who cares about pro league will be watching. so hopefully you play against a bunch of losers who just yoloq and don't know anything about high level league.

or they will be on your team.

So can I get some advice on my masteries? I haven't changed them in a fairly long time and I am honestly not sure what is the best setup for each role/champ/

Here are my masteries. Below is an explination for what each page is (some are hard to guess I guess)

+ Show Spoiler +
Botlane Babysitter = Ranged supports (Janna, Sona, Nami)
Zap Mothaf*cka = Mid
BRB Farming Bot = Marksman
Whats a Teamfight? = Tanky AD toplane (Irelia, J4)
Be the Jungle = AP/Reistance Tank Jungle (Maokai, Chogath)
Fling! = Tanky AP toplane (Singed, Cho)
Who Needs Resistances? = Health tank jungle (Sejuani, Nautilus)
Carry from the Trees = AD jungle (Xin, J4)
Jungle Balls = Jungle Syndra
The Word (Offensive & Defensive) = Swain
This Small = Kennen
Manaless Ward B*tch = Support Mundo/Lee Sin
ARAM ZAP = Aram AP

Ignore "Double T" and "Support Teleganks", I don't use them anymore.
Survival is winning, everything else is bullshit.

Why would the $ELO players who watch pro games be any better or worse than the same $ELO players who don't?

If anything you'd get people who tryhardrage less when you carry with WW support.

Unless Iran has Unmasked/Battleborn they might not know she's a woman.
