Just bought Vayne after playing her once or twice when she was free week. Third game after buying her, I got to experience the joy of being a fed, late game hyper carry. My favorite moment was when I tumbled to dodge an Ahri charm, then walked up and killed her in 4 auto attacks. Yes, the quadra kill was nice (almost a penta but Karthus aoe picked up a kill) but I felt so bad ass killing that Ahri after the sweet dodge.

So I finally found what champion I need to play in Solo Queue (at least until the jungle change) and that is jungle Shyvana. In my last 5 ranked games as jungle Shyvana I am 5 wins and 0 losses. 4-6-10,6-0-11, 4-1-12, 9-6-11, and 6-1-19. Dragon form Shyv Q + Frozen Mallet = enemy team is sticking around for the teamfight whether they want to or not, which was especially hilarious in the most recent game as this allowed Karthus and Jax to carry hardcore.

So by some act of God, the streak continues. I have won my first 3 placement matches in ranked. Went 3/5/7, 3/4/8, and 4/1/4. I won my last 8 ranked games as Shyvana now.

My friend were all telling me twitch sucked, and I thought he was really good, so I buy him and we all play, with me as twitch. I get DESTROYED.

They all laugh.

Next 4 games I get over 20 kills and carry us really hard.

Nobody was laughing then >:D

I just had to figure out that Twitch relies on poison in the earlygame, not brute force autoattacks. With that in mind, I dominated lane over and over again.

This game was much closer than it had to be.. #_# people really throw hard sometimes
vayne and vlad randomly decided to push one lane and then got caught
on the bright side, got 2 (15 and 44 minutes) pentas :O how small were the chances of that happening again?

I've been playing mid wrong this entire time. Diana went mid against kat. Every time I went to gank she came too. It was hard not to get kills.

Some mids are better at roaming and assisting ganks than others. Diana is one of them, most of the newer champions are of that design (Ahri is particularly ridiculous), older ones like Karthus or Mordekaiser are less good at it (though Karthus still gets to steal kills with R).

I'm aware. And to be fair the enemy were quite dumb.

Every time I went to gank or was going to gank after a camp I'd announce it in chat. This gave diana ample time to just move with me. She walked right through lane to bot lane while I went around. Somehow the enemy bot reacted to neither of us. The lanes pushed like idiots quite hard, with a practically unstoppable garen top lane getting shut down by our 2 man gank. And the kat never pushed the lane when diana was mia leading to neither team getting mid farm and no punishment for roaming.

Overall this was probably more a symptom of the elo reset causing really bad plays on my enemy team and high variations in player skill.

I played Nidalee top for the first time, died to a Lee Sin gank at level 1 and then proceeded to murder them all with spears of death. :>

Was playing support Zyra and was able to use my abilities to win lane pretty hard for my MF. Late game is all started to fall apart when our MF kept farming other lanes instead of pushing the one we were at and we would lose team fights. We went back and forth almost ace-ing each other. Game down to a base race between the entire enemy team and our teleport MF. We were able to prevent their recalls and MF was able to kill there nexus before they could kill ours. It was crazy.

Does anyone have a screenshot of the "congrats" screen you get when you get your banner?

I just got my green one back and it was awesome but I missed the opportunity.

Beat an olaf top as jax. He was dumb and fought me under minions at lvl2. I used my exhaust to reduce his E, survived with like 50-100 hp, and then proceeded to FREEZE the lane, go back and be up 1 dorans to none. Then later I was up 2 dorans to just tabi. Mid game I stopped freezing the lane to go help bot lane and got a double. Then I started throwing but we caught one of them out at baron and within 20 seconds the enemy team formed an all you can eat conga line.

edit: freeze not push

Reckless Swing

ACTIVE: Olaf attacks with such force that it deals true damage to his target.

So true damage can't be reduced by exhaust? Ah well. Still stands that I beat a soft counter.

Also went 18-2 on tristana mid vs morg. It's so stupid how safe she is and how much I have to dodge bindings.

Yeah it isn't. I thought since it was a debuff on the true damager rather than a buff on a true damage target the order of calculations would be different. There probably are some things that still reduce true damage. I've seen several patch notes where true damage was decreased unintentionally by a spell.
