Volibear Support

Our Team:

Nautilus Jungle, Vi Top, Varus ADC, Fizz Mid, Janna Support

Their Team:

 Brand Mid, Volibear Support, Nasus Top, Caitlyn ADC, Warwick Jungle

 We tried so hard to throw that game.  I don't know how we didn't.

Frisco went 9/8/25 from the Jungle and I went 3/3/29.

Varus managed to have less CS all game than Cait despite Cait being zoned out most of the game.

Fizz died 12 times, Varus 10 but their Brand 16 times and Warwick 14.

Qualified for a Promotion Series!

Frisco's Promotion Series - Game 1

Our Team:

Nautilus Jungle, Zed Mid, Varus ADC, Cho'Gath Top, Janna Support

Their Team:

Orianna Mid, Caitlyn ADC, Sona Support, Tryndamere Top, Jarvan IV Jungle

What a terrible game.  We just ate it from the word go.  They were such a stronger comp than ours and they played it better.

After a while it was a joke.  But not enough people would vote to surrender.  They finally won with a score of 29 kills to 9 kills when they defeated our Nexus.

I went a fantastic 0/5/2.  Varus was 2/7/2...their Caitlyn was 13/0/7 and Jarvan IV was 1/1/18.

"Are you going to play breast-tech Janna?"

Our Team:

Nautilus Jungle, Nasus Top, Kennen Mid, Tristana ADC, Janna Support

Their Team:

Renekton Top, Swain Mid, Ezreal ADC, Trydamere Jungle, Lux Support

It did not open well.  Tristana got a first blood, but then I threw away a life.  From that point on it looked ugly for a while, especially in bot lane.  We were getting pushed to our tower hard, lots of ganks coming in.  Bad.

But we managed to turn it around.  Their momentium ran out and we started to build on ourselves.  Nasus split pushed hard and we managed to pull out a win.

I went 1/6/11, Frisco went 2/3/12 with his "Nautilus wins all games" build.  Not terrible.

4 Skins vs 2 Skins, we win

Our Team:

Nautilus Jungle, Aatrox Top, Caitlyn ADC, LeBlanc Mid, Janna Support

Their Team:

Darius Top, Master Yi Jungle, Veigar Mid, Lux Support, Ezreal ADC

After that disaster of a last game, Frisco has joined me with his new pro Jungle Nautilus.

22 minute surrender.  Our LeBlanc got stupid, quick.  She went 13/1/3.  We rode those coat-tails all the way to the end.

Not to discout anyone else.  Aatrox went 8/3/1, Frisco 3/1/6.  Good game.

Mundo....support?

Our Team:

Fiora Top, Pantheon Mid, Malphite Jungle, Ashe ADC, Janna Support

Their Team:

Mundo Support, Riven Top, Akali Mid, Shyvana Jungle, Miss Fortune ADC

That was a terrible game.  I don't know what happened, but it felt like we threw it away over and over and over and over again.

I went 1/8/28.  We lost the game ahead on kills.  We were ahead on kills almost the whole 55 minutes.

Our Panethon mid did not do well.  Our Fiora insisted on chasing every enemy into the jungle.  Our Ashe didn't care to get CS.

Promotion Series - Game 2

Our Team:

Shyvana Jungle, Graves ADC, Ahri Mid, Reneketon Top, Janna Support

Their Team:

Twisted Fate ADC, Fiora Top, Nasus Jungle, Annie Mid, Lux Support

Well that sucked.  Our Ahri was doing really good but it just fell apart.  Our Graves was over pushing just too much.  He died 10 times, 5/10/8.  I did okay, 0/4/17.  Frisco had a pretty decent Shyvana game too, 8/4/12.  Ahri was our heavy "carry" with 14/7/9, but their Annie did good, their Fiora did good and we just got out of position too many times.

No surprise we lost though, it was my promotion series and that usually spells "loss".

Failed promotion series.

Don't feed the Darius!

Our Team:

Shyvana Jungle, Kassadin Mid, Tristana ADC, Nasus Top, Janna Support

Their Team:

Lee Sin Jungle, Darius Top, Miss Fortune ADC, Leona Support, Zed Mid

Frisco out of the jungle and me on Support.

Wow...so I'm not gonna lie, we rode Kassadin's coat-tails.  Kassadin went 10/1/7.  I went 0/1/10 myself counterwarding Leona as hard as I could.

They /surrendered at 26 minutes.

Promoted to Promotion Series!

"Yes Frisco, you should have bought Dark Flame Shyvana when she was on sale"

Our Team:

Shyvana Jungle, Zed Top, Quinn ADC, Kassadin Mid, Janna Support

Their Team:

Kha'Zix Jungle, Xerath Mid, Miss Fortune ADC, Soraka Support, Vi Top

Wow.  Just wow.  We ROFLStomped them.  It was terrible.

Zed went 14/2/5, Kassadin went 14/1/7.  It was just over.

I haven't laned with a Lucian before..

We'll see how this goes.

Our Team:

Volibear Jungle, Teemo Top, Diana Mid, Lucian ADC, Janna Support

Their Team:

Garen Top, Fizz Mid, Sona Support, Tryndamere Jungle, Graves Support

Bad start.  Lucian sat out and let them really burst him down.  Volibear came down and over-engaged and died.  I died.  0-3.  Soon it was 1-7, Voli, Luc and I all with 2 deaths.

We tried to surrender but two people trolled the team, we knew we had all lost before 20 minutes, but they were just being jerks.

The game got better after that when I /mute'd everyone but Teemo on my team.  We eventually surrendered at 24 minutes.

I was 1/4/0 with Janna
Volibear was 0/5/2
Teemo was 0/2/2
Lucian was 04/0
Diana was 4/4/1

We were winners.  Except of course, that we weren't.

First time in solo queue actually solo in a while...

Our Team:

Zed Mid, Janna Support, Tristana ADC, Kassadin Top, Nocturne Jungle

Their Team:

Brand Mid, Vayne Top, Sona Support, Fiddlesticks Jungle, Karma ADCish

They went Sona / Karma bot.  We won our lane, and lost the game.

That was horible.

Kassadin just fed Vayne hard top lane.  Nocturne couldn't do anything about it.

Fid kept going up there to help and the both of them got seriously fed.

Then when we moved into the Team Fight phase, Kassadin kept jumping into fights by himself, Tristana kept insisting on split pushing, and Zed, Nocturne and I just kept getting stuck outnumbered and outgunned.

Okay Frisco, be the Hero we need!

Our Team:

Kha'Zix Mid, Jax Top, Graves ADC, Pantheon Jungle, Janna Support

Their Team:

Kassadin Mid, Taric Support, Ezreal ADC, Rammus Jungle, Renekton Top

Can't let myself forget that Renekton has a teleport.  Let's see if I do!

We won that game.  I'm not sure we should have.  Or as Frisco said "We should have, but we shouldn't have thrown it so bad in the middle."

I went 1/6/23 as Janna.  Not my worst game.  Though cash was crazy tight.  Jax kept going off Solo and getting killed, meanwhile Pantheon would talk about grouping up and get himself killed out of position.  Graves kept getting out of position as well and instead of getting himself killed, he would get me killed.

All in all...there it goes.  Oh well, we still won.

3rd time's the charm?

Man I'd love a win today.  And what better opportunity than with Frisco and I in bot lane together.

Our Team:

Varus ADC, Ryze Top, Shaco Jungle, Kha'Zix Mid, Janna Support

Their Team:

Cho'Gath Mid, Soraka Support, Caitlyn ADC, Wukong Jungle, Fiora Top

Their team comp is...interesting.

And they rolled us with it.  Hard.

Over and over and over.  I honestly don't know why it took almost 40 minutes.  We lost 29 to 48 kills.

I went 0/8/8 with a whopping 7.2k gold in 36 minutes.  And I went 0-3 for the day, cementing myself as the worst LoL Player, can't even pick up a win.

- 14 Points, Bronze IV, 28 LP

Let's try that again....

Our Team:

Ahri Mid, Twitch ADC, Zac Jungle, Jax Top, Janna Support

Their Team:

Thresh Support, Swain Mid, Yi Top, Nocturne Jungle, Graves ADC

So this team scares me a bit....  Hopefully Frisco will get fed in Mid and Zac will just roll face.  I don't know how I'm going to stay away from Yi and avoid being blown up....

Yi didn't turn out to be the problem.  Their whole team turned out to be the problem.  Swain got super fed, Graves got fed post laneing phase, eventually Yi caught up, Twitch got no farm because Thresh + Graves = bullied out of lane.

All in all, bad.

First SR Ranked game in a while...

And our Gangplank is screwing everything up....in the lobby.  Grand!  Frisco's going jungle with Trundle.

Our Team:

Trundle Top, Gangplank Mid, Zed Top, Caitlyn ADC, Janna Support

Their Team:

Ahri Mid, Singed Top, Varus ADC, Sona Support, Vi Jungle

That could have gone better.  We started strong, Cait and I were doing good.  Probably too good, we got over confident and started losing.

Our team kept chasing Singed, that was a problem.  I kept getting into range with Varus, that was a problem.

Eventually they were just too fed and we were making too many mistakes.  I think I may have been the only one putting out wards and it took me most of the game to get to any decent items.  We kept getting hit by Sona's ult as a whole team, and they were seriously focusing me down and my team would run away instead of using that time to engage when they were targeting the wrong person and spending their CC cool downs on me.

Right in the ear hole...

Our Team:

Varus ADC, Vi Jungle, Vladimir Top, Kassadin Mid, Janna Support

Their Team:

Soraka Support, Nasus Jungle, Aatrox Top, Ziggs Mid, Caitlyn ADC

Frisco on the ADC with me in bot.  Looking forward to this!

But it was to no avail.

0/9/12, we lost at 37 minutes.  Not fun.  Kassadin kept going way out of position and engaging their whole team when we weren't available.  Vi kept roaming and didn't spend much time picking up Xp anywhere, which wasn't a problem as much as a symptom.  We got pretty well walked all over by our bot lane opponents.  Ugg.

Skins vs Shirts

Our 5 skins to their 0 skins.  Frisco on a boar.

Our Team:

Sejuani Jungle, Jax Top, Graves ADC, Lux Mid, Janna Support

Their Team:

LeBlanc Mid, Nidalee Support, Caitlyn ADC, Garen Top, Amumu Jungle

This game started ugly with Lux giving up first blood in the first 40 seconds.  It briefly looked up when we took their Blue and killed Nidalee, but never looked better after.

We mostly held our own in bot lane, but Nidalee + Cait was pretty effective.  They didn't really ward, but Sejuani couldn't take advantage because she was so busy defending Lux and Jax.

By the time the mid game rolled around they were starting to out pace us.  By 30 minutes we knew it was all over but the crying.

At the end I went 0/9/9 in 39 minutes with a whopping 8.2k.

No Shen ban? No problem.

Our Team:

Shyvana Jungle, Cho'Gath Top, Ezreal ADC, Kayle Mid, Janna Support

Their Team:

Zed Top, Brand Mid, Twitch ADC, Leona Support, Hecarim Jungle

I think we can win the late game team fights even though their initiate is better.  We'll see how we do.

We didn't do well at all.  They rolled us.  Hecarim's fear was too much and their team was too fed.  Cho'Gath kept making questionable decisions, Kayle fed Brand heavily and though Ezreal and I won our lane and he got decently fed, it just wasn't enough to deal with their super team.

We got our asses thoroughly kicked.  I went 0/6/8.  Their Brand went 18/6/14.  Hecarim went 12/5/18 and Zed 5/3/20.  Terrible.

Our Team:

Shyvana Jungle, Anivia Mid, Riven Top, Caitlyn ADC, Janna Support

Their Team:

Ezreal ADC, Hecarim Jungle, Jax Top, Nami Support, Diana Mid

Well that was terrible.  But at least I don't feel like I did terrible.  Their Diana got out of control.  We won our bot lane but Cait was being super aggressive which turned into trouble in the mid to late game.

Stepping into the arena on my own...

Last game of my Promotion Series.  We'll see how it goes.

3 of the 5 in the lobby are asking to run Jungle.  This doesn't bode well...

Oh well, Summoner 3 on the other team left the queue.  Starting over!

Second lobby failed....

Third lobby a success so far.

I did picks and bans.  I triple checked for Blitzcrank.  I typed the full name out, I typed just a B and checked all the champions available and I left it blank and scrolled.  He wasn't there.  100% certain.

Then he shows up picked second on their team.  My lobby is raging at me.  Now the last pick is fighting with the middle pick over Jungle and so the last pick is claiming "GG" since he didn't get Jungle.  Man...this is always the way it goes isn't it?

Our Team:

Janna Support, Kennen Top, Udyr Jungle, Akali Mid, Graves ADC

Their Team:

Ezreal ADC, Blitzcrank Support, Zed Top, Hecarim Jungle, Ryze Mid

I don't feel good about this.  I think our mid might do okay?  Especially if she gets some good ganks from Udyr.  I'm not sure how Kennen will do against Zed, but I expect him to do well.  So then we just have to see how we do.  Hecarim, I expect, will be coming in for a lot of Blitz Pulls + Ezreal ADC ganks.

Started a little rough.  I face checked a bush I apparently wasn't paying attention enough to and got messed up by Ezreal and Blitz.  I shut down Blitz pretty hard for a while but they eventually nabbed me.

By then though, Graves was fed and Akali was super fed.  And we started to roll face.  Kill, kill, kill, double kill.  We were up 13 to 6 by the 20 minute mark.

We steam rolled.  Akali was super fed, 17/2/5.  1/1/12 for me, 5/1/11 on Graves.  And 0/7/6 on Blitz.

Our Team:

Shyvana Jungle, Vayne ADC, Lux Mid, Jayce Top, Janna Support

Their Team:

Kha'Zix Jungle, Ezreal ADC, Taric Support, Garen Top, Galio Mid

We rolled so hard.  Frisco carrying out of the Jungle with Shyvana is so OP.

Janna - 0/6/21
Vayne - 11/4/16
Shyvana - 10/4/12
Jayce - 3/4/15
Lux - 16/3/10

Sooooo strong.  Vayne had a bunch of kills and double kills early.  We drove Taric / Ezreal out of lane hard, early and fast.  Shyvana helped roll Bot and Mid and poor Jayce got his ass kicked in Top.  But it didn't matter, he held on and we won =)
