Put it in the record books: Shen support beats Blitz support. Blitz was looking at making the “big play” all game. That’s why he started mana crystal instead of boots. So level 1 Shen and Sivir just ran at me, Blitz whiffed his hook and then tried to play catch-up.
I don’t even need to go into detail about this game. I was +8 kills over deaths. No one else on my team was positive. Next best was top who was only -2 as Jayce. So pathetic. In team fights Renekton and Diana would just throw themselves at me. It just made me laugh that even if I used Arcane Shift and Flash I would still have a bruiser on top of me and my team would be looking at making “big plays”. I was stuck attacking Renekton through his Guardian Angel and Diana through her ridiculousness.
I asked my team to peel for me. Blitz said he would. I said I needed Darius to be peeling for me in fights as well. We never had another team fight. People just got caught out and died and the game was over. I tried to pass a surrender vote, but instead two people voted no so we waited an extra 20 seconds to watch them physically destroy our base. I don’t know if people just wanted to give the other team the satisfaction of destroying more buildings or if they were too stupid to realize that the team they had fed for the last 36 minutes wouldn’t be able to drop our base that fast. No one spawned before the base was destroyed except for our AFK Elise.
This was a normal game, but I’m pretty sure this is what elo hell feels like; people not knowing what they should be doing and just wanting to make “big plays” but they just fall behind in gold. Sivir did pass me in gold, but that was after I had wrecked her in laning phase. She managed to pick up four kills right near the end of the game as my team got caught out. She had a better team, I had a better K/D.
/ff
Sivir should counter blitz & ez, she can do so much damage and if she can spell shield any of your spells she has enough mana to pop her ultimate. My ranked stats with her are stupid because its so easy to kill someone and to push a lane. I think she is strongest ad bot right now.
why haven’t you written a story about your 23/0 ranked leblanc game? i feel that would have a great story behind it.
I don’t know what to write about it! The 23-0 in Ranked almost speaks for itself! I had Morgana zoned at level 1, and the game just spiraled wildly out of control from there.
I mentioned on Reddit that I dodged multiple Malphite ults and lost tons of karma for it. I guess maybe I could post clips from the game when Malphite missed me with three separate ults, but that isn’t why I went 23-0. How did I go 23-0? I don’t know. I just didn’t die.
Man this must have been a terrible game. It seems pretty rare for you to say negative things about other players so I can only imagine the magnitude of incompetence in this match 😛
This Elise release is Ahri all over again. I’ll probably just have to lock Malz for the next week if I’m going to play solo queue. I think Malz E will kill all of her little spiderlings! Plus that gives me mana back and hurts the ugly spider chick.
How has she been treating you, Jake? You play her mid much?
To recap the conversation we had in person, I’ve mostly been playing her top and I’ve been trying out a couple different builds as I feel her AP-only build leaves her spider form a little weak. It’s fairly easy to work someone down with her Q and W in human form to half or so, but in spider form her Q is the only skill that really benefits from AP for finishing someone off. Aside from that her W produces weak auto attacks that, unless you have someone standing toe to toe with you (in which case they will mostly likely have a much better item build/skill set do so) you can’t get many of those auto attacks off and those that do don’t do very impressive damage. Her E has a small delay and leaves much to be desired as a gap closer. Your opponent continues to run at full speed and you land a little ways behind them so without a snare you wont get much healing from the W, I’ve mostly utilized her spider W for creep or jungle clearing/healing up. I’m just blabbing now but she’s been pretty fun, hex tech gun blade brings a little ad, ap and lots of life steal/spell vamp and the active allows you to get 2-3 secs of auto attacks off on squishies before trying to finish them with your Q. All in all I like her and I think once people get used to her she will be a pretty good champ. I’ll need to try her mid more
