I can complain about my teammates getting caught and not grouping all day long, but I'm pretty sure tate would've done better mechanically. Had at least two ults that landed a mile away from the fight because I completely forgot where the ball was.

something something about being shit and trying to play complex champions


-3 LP THE DREAM

F4t B0i Sl4y3r: jungle pref
Flog301: jg pref
APersonYouKnow: jg plz

but I don't want more negative LP

Orianna mid again inc



I srsly have worse mechanics than you LOL

ohhh lmao
maybe your reactions are slightly slower? idk
i know that you're smarter than me and choose better decisions than i do!

xDDDD

Didn't play all that bad this time around, but comp was complete dogshit. Blind pick Master Yi top, full AD Lee doing nothing early when we have no tanks, Corki taking my blues when I need them against cancer... plz. wtf do I even do, Malz shoved so fucking hard and I didn't have the mana to keep up. And it's not like I can walk up to him and 1v1 him... spammed mia and alerts whenever he went to the fog of war but it's not like people listen (elo hek xDDDD).





sry i suk...

Good time as any to reflect on my first league season.

So I came into ranked with an inflated ego, having spent most of my leveling with plat/diamond friends. I didn’t realize how easy the game is when you’re surrounded by people who can make all the decisions for you. Being stuck in Silver 5 was a testament to that – sure, shitters going to be shit but if I’m just waiting for these people to make decisions for me I’m obviously not going to do any better. I still suck, but at least I no longer pretend that I’m in ARAM when the game stalls.

Also bad was the fact I was mostly supporting on my way to 30 with champions like Janna and Leona… didn’t exactly learn how to have decent mechanics or destroy lane opponents. Compensating that by keeping my champion pool small paid a lot of dividends – I managed to stay above 50% with Karma/Lulu solo lane and Caitlyn/Ashe ADC. Even though my laning is still shit, sticking to the same champions helped with learning their limits and making some plays with confidence. Mostly stuck to Janna/Braum/Soraka when supporting and Rek’Sai/Hecarim/Sejuani when jungling. I abandoned Rek later in favor of Ekko, and abused Xin/Diana/Udyr/Kayle for a bit.

I did try a variety of champions mid though, with tragic results. If ArenaOnline is correct, my mid win rate is 36.7%. My stat line with champions other than Lulu or Karma is 2-11. If I take out Varus too, it's 0-9. Damn, elo heck.

In terms of playstyle, I definitively prefer being the tank/utility provider. I’ve found more success consistently helping the team than trying to hard carry with something like Kayle or Diana. To be fair it’s because I play like a cowardly magical grill so I’d rather set up other people for success. Picking up Ekko has been good in learning how to carry though, his kit is ideal for giving some margin for error if you don’t succeed at first.

I hope I don’t’ have as much time to play as I have in the last ~2 months, but I’ll be back for next season either way. My MMR is probably busted from suckfeeding at -3 LP so before thinking about anything else I’ll just try hard and hope I can get back to Gold. If I stop doing shit like playing on tilt and picking champs I’m not uncomfortable on I could climb further though. Not gonna say I’ll make it to Plat, but at least I think I’m capable of that. I do need to clean up my basic mechanics for that, though – no missing free CS or canceling autos.

Thenk, share and subscribe if you like my LP :)))

Eh I guess I'll post my preseason matches here.

Got Ziggs first blood with a nice flash Q under Lux's turret, then coincidentally Gnar's mega had just ran out so I immediately went top and got Leblanc a kill too. Spent much of the time making sure LB destroyed her lane and gave her the Herald buffs... got executed twice though, RIP. Mumu didn't do much until 6 when he tried camping bot, but Tracker's Knife OP and I was there for the counterganks. Laners used their advantages responsibly to make it a stomp.

Pretty sure this Eve had no idea how her clears would go, watching the replay she didn't even have the upgraded jungle item in her second back. Which was great because Zed was destroying TF in lane and Thresh was playing like an idiot so I could do a lot of deep warding and babysitting - Brand did great on his own. Went pretty hard with engages once I hit 6, and in teamfights I focused on locking down Zed and keeping Singed/Braum away. Brand was going so much damage we could focus the front line and theirs would die before I did, and it wasn't exactly hard to force them so...

ugh. Lux somehow got raped by Yi in lane, and I fucked up a lot of times thinking I could flash Q as if I were Gragas and just whiffing some easy ults. Then Mundo got his items and it's like, what the fuck do you do? Waste all my CC on him and he's still on top of my carries...

game was still 100% on me though, can't make so many bronze 5 mechanic plays when I have one skillshot
