I have a full scrollbar of wins without a single repeating champion and the worst KD is a 4-5-30 thresh.

I think I may have to start playing ranked....

When carrying yourself to gold doesn't work in 4 promotion series

+ Show Spoiler +

, stumble into a smurfing duo q to carry you when your series is 2-2.

Went, 3/2/22 so I could say pulled my own weight, but I got carried all the way by the 22/0/8 Cait. It wasn't even funny. Alas, I'm gold at Last!

I just had a game that was looking pretty rough in champ select. 2 people are arguing over mid, 1st pick wants it and has locked in Nid but 3rd pick is telling her to go top. I was 2nd pick and had taken MF adc. 3rd pick eventually gives up and picks Jarvan, but 4th pick now wants mid? He picks Ahri and people start yelling so he changes to Jax. At this point 5th pick has selected but not locked in Shyv. both of them refuse to support. Jax locks and shyv silently waits for the timer to run out. I fully expected someone to dodge and Jax said he would have but he was in a promotion series.

When people are fighting over a role in champ select, I typically jokingly suggest that we play 5 mid as a way to resolve it. Since the dispute over mid began basically right away, I have been spamming for us to all go mid the entire pregame chat. First as a joke of course, but as it became less and less likely that people would be able to agree on roles, I started trying to convince them more and more. They mostly ignored me until 4th and 5th pick both refused to support but after that happened Nid was fully down with it, and that was enough to sway the other members of the team. J4 was the last holdout, walking to top lane when the game started, but after much pinging on mid tower and threatening to report him, he came around as well.

We took the 1st two towers and first blood almost right away, since no one came to help their TF 1v5. Once we were pushing the inhib tower other lanes started showing up. We got mid inhib at around 8 minutes. I finished the game 11/2 with 20 sword of the occult stacks.

Game 1: Zac top kept teleporting bottom at bad times, accomplishing nothing while Singed pushed like crazy. Jarvan was getting outplayed by Hecarim in the jungle pretty hard (although Jarvan did help me secure a kill), and Malz was getting bullied mid. I was doing okay, but had more deaths than kills as MF. Taric was really quite a good support, no complaints.

We're down like 10-23. They get careless and let us clean them up between our nexus turrets and inhibitor turrets. Then they try to baron, and we break even 4 for 4, and after that we stomp every teamfight, get baron, and roll them completely in short order. Zac slingshotting from a mile away into Caitlyn, Lux, and Syndra (support), even though he started 0/4, completely wrecked them. And Malz suppressing whoever was diving me helped a lot too. :>

Game 2: Promotion match. I'm Gragas top. Graves and Taric yelling at each other all day, team doing poorly. I manage to split push their towers down and stall long enough that Graves just starts murdering everyone on the enemy team, even with a 6 item Tristana on the other team. Success!

Game 3: Deciding promotion match. Enemy has an AD Janna/Support Ashe. They have a Shaco though, so who knows. Shaco ends up blinking onto me (Sona) while I was near blue. Hecarim was right across the wall, but had his ult and speed boost, so I just q'ed Shaco and we got an easy kill. His team tried to follow up and kill me. I flashed over a wall, and managed to Q and kill support Ashe. They also managed to setup for a dragon, but we managed to keep them off of it. Two of our guys die doing almost no damage, but they pulled the enemy team in such a way that I got a very good crescendo off on 4 of them, letting MF ult from a mile away, and then we ended up cleaning up 2 of them while preventing dragon. After that it was just a matter of pushing our advantage as 5. Also, my ADC was silver (again).

How to carry as Hecarim after nerfs:
step 1: farm jungle till you hit 6
step 2: get your 2nd blue then gank a lane with ult
step 3: proceed to get fed as fuck
step 4: congrats, you are now an unkillable big ass horse who has infinite hp with w
step 5: farm elo

I login for a quick rated game to finish the day. Get Tristana with Leona vs Draven/BC. We manage to get Draven to 8/1/2 pretty damn fast, i am 1/3/4 an about 20 cs behind. I did misplay once, apart from that, he snowballed from our mistakes. Surprisingly, team remains really calm, Shen and Lux are pretty damn good. We start winning teamfights and destroy them at the end. Not even close. Team never flamed, at the end, everyone call gg wp and i can go to sleep with a smile.

And, yes, that really happened.

played a game as support lux, my ad twitch was pretty good but support yorick was surprisingly annoying. twitch was carrying pretty hard, but then he dc's and we're like oh no-- he's like 10-5.

i ward, ask rest of team to ward. our top jungle is nicely warded, and the enemy team is gearing up to bushwhack us-- they know its a 4v5. unfortunately for them, they're all sitting on top of a ward, so i q/e, naut ults and kennen doesnt even get to zonyas-- we win the fight 5 for 2 (naut and malz). unfortunately, we can't take anything off of it because we don't have much ad. we basically do the same thing again at dragon, except we trade 1 for 5 with me surviving by literally 9 hp.

we win one more fight in the jungle like that and skirmish a bit, but i'm getting worried that we can't keep it up. finally, twitch reconnects and we have one final baron fight-- i actually misplay it really bad and get focused because i dont want them to take baron. since i basically play ult magnet though, the rest of my team cleans up pretty well--- we lose naut, but twitch just plays properly and pewpewpews everyone to death from the way back.

i respawn right in time to win the game, yeaaaaaaaah.

tl;dr win a 4v5 feelsgoodman,jpg

I had a moment in my most recent game that I'm proud of

Jungling warwick, cuz I love him, and enemy jungle is a Vi who was bent on coming in my jungle at every opportunity. We have a zed mid so I'm taking our blue and suspecting Vi at any moment and notified the team that she would probably show up. I smite it as she punches over the wall but I'm at like 20% hp and she's at 50%. I Q her and start exchanging autos but it doesn't look good so I head for the U bush. I glance at my exp and see I'm a sliver from 6 and there's a small lizard at one auto from dying. Kill the lizard, ding 6, ult + Q for the kill. Pretty awesome, a tad annoying no one from top or mid came but I'm proud of my awareness of the situation since I'm pretty bad at this game

I'm also happy I was at double golems when I checked the time and realized blue was going to be up and if I didn't grab it as soon as it spawned I would more than likely lose it, so I set myself up for success there!

I feel like playing MF is like riding a roller coaster.

There's the early climb stage from first blood and the next few kills, the medium plunge to get me pumped up when my team doesn't group and gets pummeled because the enemy team is five, another larger climb when we finally get our crap together and fight as five, then the downhill plunge as we barrel to victory while dying in as many retarded ways as possible.

More exciting than most ADCs... :>

TFW both your allies and opponents compliment your play.

[image loading]

Started 5/0/0, Ahri started bitching that I KS all the time so i let her get a double kill top instead of taking them, and everyone just snowballed from my ganks.
