Attack of the Yordles!

This has been something I’d wanted to do for the longest time; an all yordle team!  Now, technically Rammus isn’t a yordle, but we left Amumu up and the enemy team picked him, so we had to live with the consequences.

We did fairly well in our lanes.  Iggie hadn’t played Tristana in quite some time, so there were a few times when he would jump in with Rocket Jump instead of harassing with Explosive Shot.  That made for interesting times.

There were three highlights for me this game.  The first highlight was that the enemy team had a Cho’Gath who got super huge.  His 11-5 record doesn’t show how intimidating he was during the mid-game.  Having a large Cho’Gath just made a yordle team that much more worth it!  He still turns into a very small squirrel, just slightly larger than Rammus.

My second highlight was a team fight near Dragon.  The enemy team had wiped everyone but myself and Ziggs.  Ziggs was kiting them through some immense spell damage.  I was trying to get close enough to Ziggs to shield him from Ezreal’s damage, but I just could close the gap.  Instead I used Help, Pix on Ezreal and combined that with Glitterlance to hit three members of the enemy team.  After a few auto attacks I picked up the official triple kill as a support champion.

My third highlight was a team fight that we lost.  I watched as Amumu chased a team mate from blue side’s Ancient Golem out into the river at Baron.  My team mate tried to run south down the river, but I got Amumu’s attention and brought him up towards top lane.  He chased.  I pretended to be running from his bandage toss, but I was really kiting to a mushroom.  After Amumu stepped on that he didn’t retreat, he wanted purple blood.  He continued to chase me up, further and further.  I walked him from one mushroom to the next until he realized what had happened.  He had been tricked.  I popped my shield on myself, growing my health bar significantly and slowed Amumu.  This bought me enough time to do two more auto attacks and finish him off.  It made me feel pretty good!

At the end of this game I purchased Mikael’s Crucible in an attempt to keep Jeff alive.  We were playing at the Rymer’s, so I looked across the table and said, “We’re going to lose this game.  We’re going to lose this game unless you kill Cho.  Just shoot him to death.”  When the next fight broke out Cho caught Tristana with his Rupture.  I used Mikael’s when she landed to top her off and then watched as Tristana drained Cho’s health bar.  The fight went quickly after Cho was dead.  The last remaining person was the Ezreal who managed to sneak out the back.  I used Flash and Help, Pix to finish him off, putting me on a rampage!

I’ll still remember the sight of Rammus rolling into the enemy team, bumping into four of them, and then getting ulted by Lulu to bounce them all in the air and get super scary.
