I have no idea how I came out with a win here. I'll just type out a tl;dr story because the enemy team had a billion chances to crush us and didn't.
Xin cheesed Veigar at level 2 for first blood, Tryn killed Riven at level 3 AND after she TP'd back to lane. Bcause Thresh took smite I assumed he would at least take Gromp with Jinx, so I started top unleashed and backed after 4 camps... but bot lane just sat on their tribush and went straight to lane wtf. Tried to keep up with all the pressure Xin was putting while Riven kept overextending and dying to Tryn over and over, she hit 1/8 at one point.
Game looked so fucking lost mid game and I really thought voting yes to complete the FF... Tryn was like 4K gold ahead of Riven and no one could stop his splitpush, Xin was full blown Sated cancer and Soraka was annoying as shit. Our only saving grace was a fed Jinx and an useless Ashe but we couldn't really group because Tryn was eating towers and Riven for breakfast. Anything happens in Silver, so I ignored the vote... and well, does it ever. Inexplicably, Tryn started grouping with his team and we started getting teamfights. We lost the first one at our mid T2 pretty badly, but they didn't take baron and were sloppy as shit sieging...
...then out of nowhere Jinx goes godlike and just fucking killing them one by one at inhib turret, sending them running with her rocket poke and chasing the rest down with her passive, I helped clean up and suddenly we killed four of them. We get three free towers and fight an even TF, and the gold gets even. I fuck up in the jungle by getting caught warding and we lose 3, but the enemy doesn't take the free baron. Instead they just lollygag mid trying to siege with small minion waves that are easily cleared by Jinx/Veigar. Suddenly Veigar lands a nice W and they just explode Tryn and Xin, and they chase the rest of the team and kill two more. We claim our free baron afterwards and translate into a mid inhib.
Then in an ARAM-style mid fight I just dive the shit out of Soraka to kill her, and survive long enough to catch Tryn and Xin in my stun and they get obliterated. I die to Vlad but at that point it was all ogre... Riven almost threw by wasting time killing top inhib instead of helping end, but Jinx ended just as everyone walked up to kill her.
Hell, had Tryn simply AFK splitpushed he would've drawn at least two people there (more like three because Riven always died) and made it so easy for the rest of the team. But no one will ever know why Romtomtommel decided to group...
