Was arguing with one of my friends that claims ELO hell exists and up betting him that if I got serious I could go from 900-1200 faster than he could do 875-1k. Got frustrated as fuck after getting stuck as support five games in a row and losing like 4 of them with ADCs who had <100 farm at 20 minutes. Suddenly I get an epiphany that even the worst team can get carried by a fed ADC and start playing Ez. Now I'm up to 17 wins in a row, don't know why I didn't think of this sooner lol.

Around 15 minutes: teamfight near the drake, I die trying to kill Morgana before her ult runs off, she runs out of mine (Viktor's) with 27 HP.
Around 35 minutes: teamfight near Nashor. Well, better say that I got out of position and Maokai shurelya-flash-W'd me. Their Vayne appear out of the middle lane, OUT OF POSITION, ult her as Amumu who ran after me bandage-ult her, I hit a laser then somebody finishes her off. Morg's on me, I Q the nearest person then run away as fast as I can, getting out of the ult's leash and surviving with only 27 HP after my shield runs off. KARMA, BITCH!
(Also I come back in just to pop Yorick's GA with the tip of my laser. That's for picking him!)

Enter game I'm Skarner Jungle, mid TF, top Pantheon, bot is Kog/Lux.
First 3 minutes Pantheon dies to Renekton. Gank top after red, kill renekton. Head mid, kill mid, feed TF. Kill renekton 3 more times in the next 10 minutes. Pantheon still loses lane. 25 minutes in renekton is double CS of panth, enemy bot lane is double CS of kog, up 5 kills. TF is 6/0/6 double CS of enemy mid lane, thanks to me. TF and I roam killing off enemies every chance we get. Get a sick Dragon and blue steal. I order team like an army, they listen, we win a baron fight. Push lanes and take two inhibs. Win last team fight and win game because I manned the fuck up took charge. Feels awesome.

How does Renekton beat Panth?

Assuming they both have optimal Runes they trade just as well, but Pantheons CD's non existent and Renektons like 25 seconds a pop. Panth can just continue trade for like ever and renekton gets rolled.

But Renekton has innate sustain and no mana cost. He doesn't need to trade with Panth: spec defensively, sustain yourself till you run him oom, then roll him.

Getting my first ever penta after skipping sleep to watch the semis.
I guess I will only play when I'm exhausted from now on.

It was with my low-lvl roommate and with Kog'Maw, but still

But by the time that happens renekton has died 2 times and is lying in a well somewhere while pantheon is sleeping with renek's mother and gf.

I looked at their profiles afterwards, the pantheon was unranked with 250 normal wins, and the renekton was 1750, with 1100+ normal wins.

After many nights of staying in the shikyo thread crying about my destiny, i finally manned up, and made it to gold.

Time to take a small break from the game, and start working on achieving plat when s3 comes.

Ever since my good comp crashed and burned, I've had the great pleasure of doing matches against bots on very low settings. Despite all that, I had forgotten how funny matches are vs bots. At one point in a recent match, our super-fed Lee Sin (32-1-8, 400 CS at 35 minutes) decided to 1v5 the enemy team, under tower, and killed them all, with no support whatsoever. If only regular PvP games were that one-sided (in favor of my team, of course).

Honestly, elo hell does not exist. My smurf is now something like 50/5 playing blindpicks while leveling up. So long as you can be a leader and get everybody to group for objectives(using the ancient language of ping spamming), it's essentially impossible to lose. Even at my smurf's level(6-800 elo? as a guess, still leveling), people understand mass pings, and people don't farm well enough to do damage and be tanky even when fed.

Kassadin put a ward in the enemy tribrush (bot purple side) as we were gathered after they got drake, and it sees enemy support Lux put one at the same place... then Lux, Akali and Draven converge on that bush. Insta QR from my mummy, and as soon as he sees the bandage toss our Rumble ults across them, Corki valks in from river, Taric follows him with flash to stun one of them and Kassadin ults in too. Holy shit that coordination, without even a single word, and from that excellent ward by Kass.

I'm gonna lose the next 5 games as per soloQ karma, but wow that was so boss.

Got my first ranked win as Maokai yesterday thanks to some dumb luck. Early-game I manage to get a nice counter-gank of on mid and then repeat gank mid and botlane to put them ahead with only our toplane falling behind due to jungle camping. Around mid-game our Jax gets caught in thier jungle and trying to save him leads to us gradually getting aced and leaves them with half hp and rushing baron for the comeback. Being the first to respawn I run to baron hoping to stop or steal 1v5, its at about 30% when I arrive and find thier team is dangerously low from tanking it. Seeing the opportunity I try to kill the extremely low Amumu tanking baron so I smash my R over him and baron only to get exausted, silenced and slowed from Soroka and Ashe. With it being clear they will just focus me first I try to run away toward my team as they start to arrive. This leads to me breaking my R channel range and in a case of dumb luck its damage manages to steal the baron from them. Seconds later I die and watch as my team rushes in cleanup and ace them 4v5 which could of gone either way if not for baron buff.

Enough "honorable opponent" points (figure something like 30).

Went through a lot of ranked games recently to try and hit 1500 for Janna, and TONS of jungler go for amumu, i don't know, people seem to think that he just hitted morg/kass/shen tier, something you have to pick or ban ...

w/e, i main jungler, and just crushed all teams picking amumu as their jungler ... just went with Rengar if not banned or Lee Sin/Olaf, ask for a smiteless red, rush blue and go first blood on that weak and poor amumu, constantly invading for each buffs... Works good for soloQ since nobody pays attention/ward...

need to gain 106 elo for gold in 1 w-e !
