I don't know why I even bother to load the client

Our Team:

Support Lux, Anivia Mid, Trundle Jungle, Caitlyn ADC, Nasus Top

Their Team:

Hecarim Top, Sejuani Jungle, Taric Support, Quinn ADC, Fiddlesticks Mid

What a terrible game.  We got absolutley ripped apart while Quinn got super fed.

I'm not even 100% how she got fed.  She kept over committing to fights and dieing to me in early game.  But she still got Lux most of the time, even though I got her.

Nasus sat in his top lane and fed, which is what Nasus does.  Or tried to do, he didn't do a good job.  Trundle didn't really gank for him, I'm not sure what Trundle did other than get out of position a lot.

Once it started to be an open field game, Quinn took off like a rocket and fed like crazy.  We all just bent over and took it.

Awful awful game.

First game with Champion Mastery...

We'll see if it's a compelling system at all.

Our Team:

Zed Mid, Thresh Support, Caitlyn ADC, Cho'Gath Jungle, Xin Zhao Top

Their Team:

Tristana ADC, Jayce Mid, Volibear Jungle, Braum Support, Vladimir Top

Zed got Fed.

29/4/9 Fed.  And that was the game.

I got "Grade A" which makes me feel good I think?  +1375 points or something.

Anyway, Zed Fed and Carried.  That's all there is.

I don't ADC ranked very often...

It's weird to lane with the support and not be the support.

Our Team:

Caitlyn ADC, Kha'Zix Top, Rammus Jungle, Cho'Gath Mid, Morgana Support

Their Team:

Vladimir Top, Sona Support, Ahri Mid, Lee Sin Jungle, Ashe ADC

What a terrible experience.  Firstly I started out badly struggling with my CS mechanics a little.  It often takes me a few to get my feet under me when CS'ing.  Then their Sona was SUPER HYPER aggressive.  It was terrible.  Morgana didn't seem to be paying attention at all and it went touch and go but I managed to pick up first blood once she engaged and I was hopeful.

Hopeful for no reason.  The top and jungle were losing it hard and Sona / Ashe came back hard to punish us for first blood.

Pretty soon Morgana got fed up and quit.  Rammus and Kha'Zix kept bickering in chat and getting super negative.

The whole experience was awful and exactly what I expect from Bronze...

Caitlyn win's lanes, not games

Really she doesn't even always win lanes.  But we'll see...

I'm first pick / banner for our team which bodes well for my second promotional series game...

Our Team:

Caitlyn ADC, Darius Top, Udyr Jungle, Rammus Support, Orianna Mid

Their Team:

Lissandra Mid, Warwick Jungle, Tryndamere Top, Jinx ADC, Blitzcrank Support

In this case, Caitlyn doesn't win anything when Darius doesn't bother to show up.

Darius apparently never loaded.  He eventually joined the game at 21 minutes claiming his internet died.  Probably did, no reason to doubt him, his loading screen paused at 15%.

Rammus went top.  I accidentally approved this, thinking I was approving Udyr going top and not reading closely enough.

Rammus picks up a few good kills top while losing the tower, meanwhile I'm getting raped in bot lane.  Jinx and Blitz have me completely zoned out but at least I'm not giving up kills.  At first.  Eventually it happens.  They push to the tower and just start diving me.  When that's not working well enough Lissandra and WW come down and invade and the 4 of them start diving me.  Pretty soon I can't leave the base without getting ganked by their whole team.  My choices are to sit at base or die.

Amazingly, Udyr and Rammus are meanwhile getting crazy fed.  By the time Darius comes back, we've already turned the game around.  It's not long after this that we start to be able to push, driving the enemy team out of every team fight and eventually win the game.

Originally I was going to play nemesis mode..

But my first lobby disbanded because not everyone could figure out how the game worked, fair enough...

Our Team:

Darius Top, Fizz Mid, Vi Jungle, Draven ADC, Morgana Support

Their Team:

Kennen Top, Amumu Jungle, Kayle Mid, Varus ADC, Zilean Support

There was a positive, friendly, cooperative atmosphere in the pregame chat lobby.  Hoping it translates into the game itself...

We surrendered at 28 minutes.

It was an awful awful game.  Darius got his ass handed to him by Kennen up top and fed him something like 4 kills in 7 minutes.  Fizz was almost the same.  Vi also fed a bunch of kills, but I don't know that I blame her - they happened when she was trying to recover a bad situation.  I took down the only tower we captured.

In the mean time, Amumu, Kennen and Kayle got super fed and just roflstomped us.

It's the middle of the night, I can't sleep and I'm sick - this should go well

Our Team:

Leona Support, Kayle Mid, Draven ADC, Miss Fortune Top, Rek'Sai Jungle

Their Team:

Lucian ADC, Darius Top, Morgana Support, Malzahar Mid, Lee Sin Jungle

Right away into the pregame channel our first picker declares Support, never bodes well for me.  Not that I don't win from other lanes, I just have the best success in Ranked as support.

I went ADC, taking Draven since Mid and Jungle were also spoken for.  Next round of picks the next person up chooses MF and declares that she'll go ADC.  Winning.

We ended up losing MF around the 12 or 13 minute mark due to her mouse not working.  She came back just in time for us to surrender at 20.  At least I thought she did, but we failed the surrender.

Moments later we lost our first real team fight.  It was 11 kills to 26 at this point.  We'd taken 1 tower to their 6.

Quickly thereafter we lost another team fight and then lost another vote to surrender.  11 to 30.

By 30 minutes they had 2 inhibitors down.  We'd failed a few more votes to surrender and it was 14 to 40.

It finally ended at 33 minutes when we both surrendered and lost our Nexus.

Double Promotion Series - Game 1

Frisco and I both qualified for our Promotion Series at the same time.  I don't see how this could possibly end with failure...

Our Team:

Nautilus Jungle, Mordekaiser Mid, Fiddlesticks Support, Riven Top, Caitlyn ADC

Their Team:

Udyr Jungle, Ezreal ADC, Lulu Support, Aatrox Top, Ahri Mid

At the 18 minute mark it was 4 to 17 in kills.  They rolled us hard.  We were awful.

At 27 minutes it was 7 to 23.  We had failed our surrender vote twice.

It was finally over at 30 minutes with a score of 9 kills to 31 kills.

Terrible game.  Our Riven went 2/7/1.  Mordekaiser went 4/7/2.  My CS was awful, 153 compared to Ezreal's 249, but I was zoned out of the lane hard for a lot of it and just couldn't find a way to get in for creep kills.

Series 0/1.

Promotion Series - Game 1

Our Team:

Trundle Top, Nautilus Jungle, Lissandra Mid, Lux Support, Caitlyn ADC

Their Team:

Vlad Top, Vayne ADC, Ziggs Mid, Amumu Jungle, Janna Support

Lux wanted mid but when someone higher declared mid, she said she would be playing Lux, either Mid or Bottom.  At which point Frisco suggested banning Lux.

Vayne got seriously fed.  She had crazy CS for being stuck under her tower for the whole laneing phase.  We managed to Zone her a few times but Lux was doing so much dps that we were pushing hard with me just last hitting, and I never tried to address it with her.

We started doing pretty well.  Lissandra was getting good kills, Nautilus was making a lot of plays but then suddenly Vayne just got *stupid* and we couldn't stop her.

Loss.

Promotion Series - Game 1

Most of the team members are being pretty...uh...rude in the pregame chat.  Rude and annoying.  This doesn't bode well.

Our Team:

Jax Top, Aatrox Jungle, Thresh Support, Draven ADC, Brand Mid

Their Team:

Ashe ADC, Twisted Fate Mid, Pantheon Top, Zyra Support, Xin Zhao Jungle

Second Draven game this evening, we'll see if it goes as well as the first.  Now that picks are over, people's egos have settled a bit.  We'll see if it stays that way if someone gives up first blood.  That double "global" ult could be an issue.  We'll see.

Well, the global ults weren't really an issue.  The team's attitude was.  Aatrox was an ass, critically berating everyone for everything they did and everything he did wrong.  The attitude spread.

Series - 0 Wins 1 Loss.

Welcome to the League of Draven!

Our Team:

Xin Zhao Jungle, Kennen Mid, Zac Top, Draven ADC, Nidalee Support

Their Team:

Zed Mid, Rumble Top, Caitlyn ADC, Elise Jungle, Sona Support

I don't feel good about this team...but we have strong champs so maybe?  Maybe we can bully them hard in the first 20 minutes.

We started out strong.  Xin got 2 Triple Kills putting us 9 to 1 in Kills at the 10 minute mark.  And at 29 minutes they surrendered.

Final score?  29 kills to 3.

I went 2/1/5 but had decent farm.  Kennen went 4/1/12, Xin Zhao 10/1/5, Zac 11/0/7 and Nidalee 2/0/7.

Their Rumble died 10 times, as did their Zed.

Qualified for Promotion!

Is it my turn yet?

Seriously impatient waiting for people to choose.

Our Team:

Shyvana Jungle, Kennin Top, Fiddlesticks Support, Zyra Mid, Caitlyn ADC

Their Team:

Rengar Jungle, Teemo Top, Tristana ADC, Nami Support, Talon Mid

We rolled them hard.  Fiddle going all aggressive was frustrating and he got himself killed a few times trying to get us to over commit when help was on it's way or we were way out of position, but over all it went well.

I didn't have much DPS, but I got into a lot of the fights to still deal quite a bit of damage.  4/1/21.

I'll take it.

Day 2 - How can it get worse?

Our Team:

Sona Support, Nidalee Top, Rengar Jungle, Ahri Mid, Caitlyn ADC

Their Team:

Nasus Top, Ezreal ADC, Vi Jungle, Ziggs Mid, Soraka Support

I'm the worst LoL player ever and we lost.  Again.

They 5 man invaded blue while we all went Red.  Sona and I got ganked on the way to our lane.  We survived but it pretty much set the tone.

Ezreal and Soraka pinned us under our tower from the word Go and we couldn't do anything about it.  Rengar came down to gank and they evaded, but we died.  Then Rengar came back and we did it again.

And we just lost from there.

Awful awful awful.  I deserve to be in last place in Bronze V.  It won't take me long to get there.

Now with 100% more Frisco

Our Team:

Shyvana Jungle, Karma Support, Garen Top, Brand Mid, Draven ADC

Their Team:

Zac Jungle, Twisted Fate Mid, Caitlyn ADC, Jax Top, Kassadin Support

Why do I feel like such an awful player in so many games?  I was level 15 at the end of this horrendous loss.  Karma was 16, everyone else on both teams was 18.  I had 166 CS.  Better than most of their team but that was it.  I went 0/8/3.  I couldn't get CS, I couldn't get kills, I couldn't get assists.  All I could do was sit under my tower without access to Creep, or Die.

The common point in all my failures is me.  What am I doing wrong?  This is the problem.  I have no idea.  I can point to little mistakes here and there, but those are just a few little mistakes.  While they add up, they don't add up to this INCREDIBLE number of failures.  I think my losses are something like twice my wins?  It's amazing how terrible I am at this game.

Wow...just wow

Their Team:

Frisco and I running bot again.  We haven't been running it a lot recently, but everything else was called right off the bat.  Let's see how we do...

I'm going to blame Rammus and Riven.

Draven: 2/2/1
Lissandra: 2/6/0
Sona: 1/3/1
Riven: 1/7/1
Rammus: 0/5/3

Jesus.  We surrendered at 20.

"Now, let's talk about your Viktor itemization.."

Seriously?  I don't have the items memorized =/

Our Team:

Ahri Mid, Riven Top, Udyr Jungle, Nami Support, Caitlyn ADC

Their Team:

Twisted Fate Mid, Malphite Jungle, Aatrox Top, Vayne ADC, Sona Support

My CS sucked, 122 at 29:59.  30 minutes I guess.  Almost everyone else had more CS than I did.  Crappy.

Still, a win is a win.  5/4/8  Riven, Frisco on Ahri and Udyr really carried the game, but I'll take it I guess.

"Soraka...watch the team rage!"

Our Team:

Soraka Support, Evelynn Jungle, Katarina Mid, Jax Top, Draven ADC

Their Team:

Nidalee Top, Caitlyn ADC, Udyr Jungle, Karthus Mid, Sona Support

Historically we've lost every game where a win would put me in a promotion series.  Something has always gone horribly wrong.

In this case I was going to go Caitlyn but they took her, so I went Draven.  My plan for the passive is to just farm it up.  No need to be agressive.  Let the mana battery keep my mana up and just farm up the passive.

We'll see how it goes...Frisco says that he likes this team comp of ours, which I'm afraid will be the kiss of death =)

Most of our team was pretty whiney.  Kat saying she couldn't leash for Eve on blue buff because she couldn't miss the first 2 CS.  Then Jax complaining that he didn't get a gank right off the bat.  Then of course my Internet dropped (WTF).  All of these things would be frustrating and unexpected in one game, if it wasn't the game that would have gotten me to my promotion series =)

So I get back in and the game's already fallen apart.  Katarina's constantly saying that we're all awful and she hates us all.

We surrendered at 23.  No surprise.

Our Team:

Their Team:

Galio Mid, Draven ADC, Garen Top, Zilean Support, Warwick Jungle

Playing against Draven in our first game on the patch with his new passive.  We'll see if he gets uber fed or is way under powered.

Frisco spent about 1/2 the game D/C'd.  So we didn't fair well without a Support.  Then about the time he got his connection fixed, Jarvan quit.  GG.

Swain =(

Our Team:

Leona Support, Kha'Zix Top, Fizz Mid, Wukong Jungle, Draven ADC

Their Team:

Swain Mid, Rumble Top, Ashe ADC, Nunu Jungle, Sona Support

Frisco and I bot lane.  Super agressive!

Super fail!  I went 5/9/3 with only 166 CS in 40 minutes.  Their Swain was super fed.  Our team's teamwork totally sucked.

Not that I did well and my team sucked.  I also sucked.  My CS wasn't good, my Draven mechanics were terrible.  Just wasn't good.

How many times will Frisco D/C?

He D/C'd in the first lobby.  D/C'd just long enough to not Ban anyone in the second lobby.  But we got a game started, at least.

Our Team:

Sejuani Jungle, Kayle Mid, Elise Top, Janna Support, Caitlyn ADC

Their Team:

Tristana ADC, Tryndamere Top, Kennen Support, Malphite Jungle, Ryze Mid

We made Frisco go Jungle.  With his 200-400 ping and crazy amounts of PL.

2 times.  Frisco D/C'd 2 times.  After the second time his ping was notably improved.

We rolled them pretty hard.  I went 4/2/12 with 247 CS, brought down their Nexus in 38 minutes.  Our Kayle really rolled the game for us going 12/2/5 with 243 CS to boot.

Either way, I'll take it!

"What're the odds they'll pick Draven?"

Actually surprisingly low.

Our Team:

Thresh Support, Jax Top, Katarina Mid, Udyr Jungle, Draven ADC

Their Team:

Kassadin Mid, Nunu Jungle, Vayne ADC, Yorick Top, Lulu Support

Back to our normal bot lane duo, me on ADC and Frisco on Support.

This one didn't go any better.  Our Jax kept blaming the rest of the team, our Udyr kept wandering off when it was time for team fights and Frisco and I would get jumped on in bad situations or making our own bad calls.

All in all, not great.
