So I know it's bad form to first-time a champ in ranked,
But I had asked for ADC and it seemed like everyone was good with where they were going, but then it turned out two people had decided on mid(One asked for ADC or mid, I asked for ADC, and the other one figured they could have mid). So with like, 10 seconds left in select, I go "Oh shit I'm going top"
I also go "Oh shit Shen's open"
And then I select him.
And then we play.
heh.
Shen.
Also, like, all but one of my deaths were the result of 4-man tower dives.
Game 1: Support Teemo. Who built straight AP and bought not a single ward. Tryndamere who couldn't stay connected. I'll let you guess how that one went.
Game 2: AP Tristana. In top. Against Garen. Enemy Shaco who was a damned terrorist. Yeah, that was a loss.
Game 3: What is this? People playing champs where they're meant to be played? People not jumping on each other for mistakes? TEAMWORK? Yeah, that was a win.
So, I'm -8 LP on the night. It's a good thing I've got 2 months to get to Gold.
game two sejuani jungle abruptly get 700 ping five minutes in and die forever
right now i remember why i stopped playing ranked it's because my provider can't be trusted and it agitates me to excessive degrees if i'm not playing aram
Man I wish I'd organized a PA TT team earlier, people are going to be spamming the queue now, 2 months is not that long, and I'm taking a break at the moment because of my hands. If you're interested in an NA team PM me with summoner name and we'll see what we can do. @Delphinidaes was the one doing it last year, but it seems he's playing Final Fantasy now The 30% of the team's total games requirement is a bummer, though, that makes you really only be able to have 3 people on the team.

That is the most frustrating thing on the planet. My thoughts are with you in your hour of need.
Real simple:
1) Don't pick him into someone ranged, it's not worth the headache
2) Safe farm as much as you can. Fling every now and then to keep the other guy honest, but your goal is just to farm.
2b) You may die once to your opponent straight up. It happens.
3) Farm until Tear+Catalyst+Boots1
4) Buy 2-4 wards, go into enemy jungle, ward appropriate buff on top side. Start killing creeps between Tier 1 and 2 towers. The ward on the buff gives you enough warning to skedaddle in the appropriate direction when the enemy starts sending multiple people to deal with you. If it's just your lane opponent, just stall them out and make them chase poison and waste their time.
4a) If purple side, all you need to ward is Blue, though keep an eye on where people are. It's a little dangerous, so you may end up needing to run through the enemy tower to safety. If blue side, ward enemy Red and tri for best coverage.
4b) Teleport into fights on bot/dragon as necessary
5) Once the enemy Tier 1 tower is down, it's your call whether to keep proxying between the Tier 2 and Inhib or to proxy another lane.
I have a 100% win rate with Singed, this is foolproof
I think I may have made a breakthrough in my understanding of jungling... or everything just happened to break right for me in a way that's never going to happen again. Oh, and I accidentally used my ADC runes/masteries.
But I think maybe I overdid it. By the time I completed my boots, I was just going into Zac's jungle and taking what I wanted. Twice I smited a buff from him as he was killing it. I spent time in lanes while they were back and buying.
I should never play jungle again, and just leave with a perfect memory intact.

Just means I have to play in hours that are off-peak, but not so off-peak that there's weaker servers.
I kinda really want that elise skin so I'd be down if anyone on NA wants to form a TT team. In game name is Alex Edler, I'll creep around the PA channel when I am on

Sigh, back down to 0 LP in Silver 1. This latest game, my Sona was Bronze 2 duo queued with our Gold 4 Vayne. Their Janna was Bronze 2 duo queued with their Gold 4 Eve, whose main (as revealed after the game) is Plat 4 in EUW.
I went bot, eve went top, top died and it's my fault. I go top, mid Xerath dies to mid Cass, Eve nowhere in sight, it's my fault. I literally cannot be in 3 places at once and I'm up to 6 losses in a row with Naut jungle. And not for lack of trying.
I shove bot from our base wall to first enemy tower and take it; whilst doing so, my team advances up mid for no reason and gets caught by Eve/Janna on a flank. They literally walked up past the river and stood there while I pushed bot. Guess what? My fault for "not staying with team" when they walked up mid and left bot lane at our goddamn base.
Honestly I wish, I WISH there was an option that made solo queue actually solo queue. I would fucking kill to never ever ever have a game like this again. It's late and I lost two in a row tonight and I really have other shit to do but all I want to do is play again.
I need a stompy fuck jungler to take advantage of enemy team retards instead of tanky junglers. The latter is beyond useless when all 3 lanes lose and lose hard.
This sort of shit is why I didn't hit Gold last season, either.
Edit: the worst part of all this is I know I probably could have won some of those 6 games if I'd played better. I just don't see how I can play better.

I don't fucking understand
My top lane picks Trynd
I think "oh man if I snowball his lane he can carry us" so I pick Nunu
I get Trynd to 5/0
And then he loses like 3 straight 1v1 duels in a row
And Leona starts bitching the entire rest of the game that Nunu is useless and it's my fault we lost the game
No shit if the person I get fed doesn't do fucking anything it's going to be a problem!

Queue into ranked. Enemy Karthus is 31-0 with the champion.
He is now 31-1.
Blames his team, despite the fact that he had 17 deaths in a 34 minute game. I remind him of that number, and he tells me to talk when I have over 60% winrate on Cho. ...I had 77% before that win.
I would totally be down for a TT team. I need to, you know, relearn how to play TT correctly, but I assume it hasn't changed too much from "Three bruisers, 1 AP, maaaaaybe an ADC that's safe, Kill shit"

It has changed quite a bit since it was a 5v5 map yes.

Do I really have to play through ranked in other modes again this season?
Other than that, I have no idea. I'm bored at work and want that Elise skin.
Also turns out that 1AM and annoyed at end of season skins is a perfect state of mind to play burd. Go HAM, eat eyeballs, win game.
But I had asked for ADC and it seemed like everyone was good with where they were going, but then it turned out two people had decided on mid(One asked for ADC or mid, I asked for ADC, and the other one figured they could have mid).

And then we play.
heh.
Shen.
Also, like, all but one of my deaths were the result of 4-man tower dives.
I just want that border man. I'd forfeit it all for the border. There's just something so beautiful about the plat and diamond borders.
Yes... and with me you sexy challenger smurf you.
Cass if I teach you how to get to gold, you give me RP? hmm?
Slice like a god damn hammer. LoL: Rafflesia / BNet: Talonflame#11979
if you carry me to gold ill buy you skins in thanks sure
Fortunately, the Elise reward does little for me.
I cannot carry, only teach.
Step 1: Play Sejuani.
I will accept my RP at your earliest convenience.
Game 1: Support Teemo. Who built straight AP and bought not a single ward. Tryndamere who couldn't stay connected. I'll let you guess how that one went.
Game 2: AP Tristana. In top. Against Garen. Enemy Shaco who was a damned terrorist. Yeah, that was a loss.

1. Play jangle.
2. Lots of drinks
3. Daft Punk
4. Mute everyone else.
I've met with a good deal of success. And by success I mean I'm not getting mad. Which is really the true victory in ranked.
then ull b gettin krazy points per win and not losin much for losses np

It's true. It's still pretty ridiculous for a professional company to have a system that amounts to, "Drink, pledge, or you're never getting in!"
These kinds of videos never get old for me.
But I think maybe I overdid it. By the time I completed my boots, I was just going into Zac's jungle and taking what I wanted. Twice I smited a buff from him as he was killing it. I spent time in lanes while they were back and buying.

look ur lucky they removed the "rl authenticator" that was just an automated spanking robot ok
and the beer pong requirements were little shy of diabolical
