Teemoshy's Crawl From the Depths of Low Bronze

[quote=Teemoshy][h1][center][color=#00ff00]Game 89[/color][/center][/h1] [img]http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab110/Teemoshy/game%2089_zpswz4kkjcd.png[/img] First game of promos and it was a doosy. I played both of these games on internet that was flopping between ~3.5 - ~4.8 mbps download speed. It was a stupid plan. I also just was kinda meh in my play. I wasn't dodging skillshots well, not firing mine off well, poor cs, etc. This game was also hard because it seemed like everyone on the team had Bronze syndrome to the max. Bot lane got shat on from 4 min. on. I didn't do shitty but I didn't do well in lane, and [[riven]] got pretty fed early. [[malphite]] just ran around not doing anything (you in low elos have seen them, they literally just run around not knowing where to go), [[annie]] and [[vayne]] were bickering all game, [[maokai]] ran in 1v3 when we were behind. After a bit, we couldn't keep them off of us and we eventually just got ground into the dirt.

It was sad. Also, this game my comp started wigging out and my Q wouldn't fire sometimes. Luckily, my whole team carried my ass and though we struggled, we eeked out a clutch win. By "we", I really mean [[azir]] eeked out a win. We were 4v5 in our own base, won the teamfight and stopped recalls while [[azir]] pushed and backdoored their nexus :D No games today because my internet was shit. So we're Bronze 2 - Promo series 1-1[/quote]

From the bottom up I lost promos, carried a game to get back into promos, then went 0-2 to lose promos again. I guess I'm not getting out of bronze this season unless I get another serious gaming session before the end. First game I was outfarming my [[fizz]] opponent quite well because he'd randomly run to the side bushes to get the jump on me even though I warded them. I got some early kills as well but he started roaming bot and they didn't listen to pings so he started running rampant. It was a sad loss. Next game my [[volibear]] jungler and I carried hard. I most damage in game and such (easy as a poke champ). Everyone did pretty well to be honest. The next game was super close all game. Neither team got more than a 2k gold advantage and it just swung back and forth. If I was able to poke or our [[volibear]] support got a good bearflip into [[chain of corruption]] we won the fight. If [[annie]] [[flash]]ed in, she'd 1-shot someone and we'd lose. We got caught too much, [[volibear]] went a little too ham a few times, dying 1v3 or 4, and eventually we got aced at a poor Dragon fight and lost. Last game was just sad. Enemy top [[zed]] got super fed, I got shat on by [[twisted fate]] because I'm bad, our [[master yi]] did dumb shit all game (not trolling, just bad). Back again to Bronze 2 90 LP.[/quote]

Multiple issues with this game. I got first blood and a second kill on a good roam bot to help [[trundle]] fight off [[kindred]]. Then I immediately died to [[ahri]]. You see, my internet was testing really well, then I started kicking up into 250 ms+ ping. I was also tunneling super hard which is an issue I need to fix. My internet kept doing this and so the combination of me, [[fiora]] feeding [[cho' gath]], [[trundle]] going way too deep into enemy jungle without knowledge of where anyone was, me playing poorly, etc. all led to my team surrendering. I'm pretty crushed atm. Don't think I'm getting out of Bronze but hopefully I can get to B1 (whew, what an accomplishment).[/quote]

[quote=Sir Wellington]Keep going! Don't worry so much about making it to Silver or Bronze I at this point - just keep playing and improving, and see where you end up and what you can learn. Maybe you'll surprise yourself.[/quote]

I'm going to continue on through the preseason with this thread because I think placement MMR is based on your rank up into the preseason. If I'm wrong let me know please.[/quote]

I feel like I could've csed better. I also died about 7 min in to a WW gank which shouldn't have happened, I was playing super far up ion the lane. But overall laning was great. I always had a 10 or so cs lead and was usually ahead in damage because I backed earlier than [[sivir]] and just kept pressure up after that. We rotated mid for some good fighting that netted me some kills and we eventually won a fight at baron after getting baron, aced the enemy team and pushed to [[viktor]]y.

I ate so many hooks it was sad. Also, the entire team, save [ekko]], pretty much played poorly as well. Not much to say besides that. You can't win them all.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Lately, when I've been hooked or snared or whatever as the support, my immediate reaction is to shield my carry. This has allowed my ADC to whale on whichever enemy is closest and they back off from attacking me. It seems counter-intuitive, but it's been working. Maybe you could try that when playing support? Good luck with your next game! :)[/quote]

[quote=Teemoshy]I'll have to try that next time. I haven't supported much this season because I've been trying to avoid it. Thanks for the advice jhoi :)[/quote]

Game 100 I got fed and feel like I played the map well early but ultimately my laners fed everyone and I did a poor job of mitigating this. Game 101 I played like shit in the midgame. I forced some [[flash]]es early on top and mid, but my return ganks didn't bear any fruit. I picked up a bit of farm and a few assists but kinda fed in midgame fights. I finally pulled it together, grabbed some kills on [[jinx]] and let [[sivir]] carry me to victory. Game 102 was awful. [[jax]] didn't know that [[riven]] doesn't have mana so you can only assume he knows nothing about things he should know in ranked. [[ekko]] fed and rushed [[sunfire cape]]? and [[jax]] fed top. [[lee sin]] tried to reign in those lanes and wound up feeding them more. I should have done more but this game tilted me pretty hard so I went and picked up tamales after to cool off. Game 103 I feel like I played well overall. I killed [[vayne]]'s tower too early though and it gave her free farm and left me looking all over for farm after mid tower went down. Our team wasn't on the same page much of the game in terms of what we should be doing but we eventually got a good fight, won it and went to Baron, then used Baron buff to choke the enemy. Game 104 was really fun. [[graves]] and I kinda fucked up early and lost a bit of pressure but after a few backs and level 6 we got our massive burst off which turned the lane around. No kills that fight but they got a taste of what was to come. Fed [[graves]] after that, [[annie]] was wrecking [[yasuo]] since 3 min in, and our [[master yi]] went full Yi on the enemy. We won pretty much every fight and eventually did the same as Game 103; get Baron, win. After these my internet decided to take a shit so I had to dodge in queue. Currently Bronze 2 94 LP. EDIT: After looking around on op.gg and also just seeing how I've been doing in games, I have decided to run ADC and jungle (going to have to get back in the groove here) as my 2 main roles next season. Looking to work on my [[lucian]], [[gragas]], maybe Kha, and [[jarvan iv]]. I'd like to pick up [[rek'sai]] but I am not sure if I need to / should. Last note, I suck at mid lelelz[/quote]

[img]http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab110/Teemoshy/game%20106_zpshgakfm0r.png[/img][/spoiler] The first game I was having trouble with my graphics card. Fallout 4 fried it apperantly so I tried a bunch of stuff, finally disabled and re-enabled the card and connected to game where [[ezreal]] already had 2 kills and our tower. YAY! I tried to farm up and help but my team kinda wanted to fight all the time. I should have been more of a voice of reason and not died (and played a test game XD ) but whatevs I guess. Next game was really fun. I've been sorting out what I'm wanting to play this upcoming season and this was the Hecapony test. I'm still sorting out early clear pathing and which starting item to get (I want to try Machete next, think it might be better) but he seemed to have a good bit of sustain with the talisman. I went from Krugs to Blue without much problem. This was a game though, where I think the champ being strong in the current patch was what helped me because overall, I didn't do all that much besides clean up my teams fights and run people down. We eventually got some good fights, swung the gold advantage our way, got a good baron and won :) Bronze 2 100 LP[/quote]
