Sadly, not really much to say about that game. It just… happened.

Game 15 – Triple AD Madness!
Any game where you get a team-member to say “Taric is beast-mode” is a good game. 😀
Was totally unsure if that was going to work, but damn. Three AD damage dealers, Nunu, and a Shatter was just destroying people. Grabbing the Herald was definitely the right choice there.
Sidequests – Game 4 – Varus
Huh, apparently I’m having a good streak where I win with everything except Taric lately.
Havn’t played him in a while, so getting used to the blight stack mechanic took some time. Also gotta remember to not get into a duel versus Caitlyn in the brush, since you *will* lose it due to her passive. Dem headshots.
Playing cautiously definitely paid off that game. Only two deaths!
Sidequests – Game 3 – More Ziggs
Oh, look, a 800-ish ELO game where someone DC’d. Look at my surprised face. At least it worked in my favor this time.
I *am* surprised, however, that the game even started. Surely looked like the Jax was a forced random from being AFK.
MF mid was actually pretty painful during laning. Didn’t know that building her with AP was a thing, though. Was pretty proud of the blind-fire kill where she was recalling under her tower at 11:37.
Game 14 – U MAD?
I know I am. I HATE it when people rage-quit games, doubly-so when it’s on my team.
If you’re somehow reading this Dat Ashe: Please go through with your threat to uninstall. You’ll be doing Runeterra a favor.
Sidequests – Game 2 – Ziggs
Extremely tired from being out in the rain all evening at work? Check.
Team-mate in solo-queue ranked wants to play Sej bot? Check.
BOOM, BABY, BOOM! YEAH, BABY, I WANNA BE BAD! I’M MAKING GRAVY WITHOUT THE LUMPS!
Okay, this game was less of a Ziggs game, and more of a “holy crap Darius is destroying everything he gets his hands on, who ever let this ult go live?” kind of game.
Also love it when I mis-time a Satchel jump and just face-plant into a wall instead.
Game 13 – Twenty minute wins are always nice
Not my own personal best for a game, but a win’s a win. Got to love it when someone walks into the room, hands you a laptop, and expects you to tell them if a device they’re eyeing on Amazon will work with their computer. In the middle of a team-fight.
Thankfully we had that Rumble, who was just destroying everything he got his mitts on.
Game 12 – Words Fail Me
My shoulders as Taric might be extremely broad, but apparently not *that* broad. Sort of wish I was able to just build damage and truly carry.
The MF was surprisingly chill, though. Almost got first-blood, but was a hair off from killing Ez for it. Â Morde in the middle was bitching about how I was “ksing” all the time, but at least one of the kills if I *didn’t* get MF would’ve died to Ez. And she was quick to point that out. Was able to out-tank Blitz underneath my tower for another.
Did I mention that Blitz DC’d and was gone for a large chunk of the game, and we were *still* getting our butts handed to us?
soigh.
Sidequests – Game 1
Figure I might as well upload the ranked games where I got stuck or didn’t feel comfortable playing as Taric. Yeah, I know: normally no such thing, but I figure I’m stuck in the 800’s, might as well try to play along so someone doesn’t Troll Out and cause us to lose.
So this game, in character select both Fizz and Fiora insta-locked at the same time first and second. Which might not have been a problem if the third player wasn’t Lux, and she insta-locked as well when it came her turn.
So Lux ended up “supporting”, which mostly involved trying to steal minion kills and not buying wards or gp/5’s until later on.
Bot lane on the enemy side was Eve/Blitz, which was a real pain in the ass. If Blitz ever grabbed you, prepare yourself for something to be shoved up your butt. (And they won’t ask your permission.) Pinks made it easier to deal with the roaming eve, but she was still able to pick up a stupid amount of kills early-on to get herself geared.
Totally glad I grabbed that GA, since Eve was just making me explode if she jumped me. Was definitely worth it, since she jumped me about a minute after buying it, and it allowed me to pop back up and shoot her in her stupid face for a kill.
Game 11 – Insert Witty Title Here
Yeah. Teemo bot. Versus Caitlyn.
No way that was going to end well. (And it didn’t!) Game was still decent, though. Too bad Twitch got crazy-fed.
