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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
You know, however much I’ll take a easy win, I *really* hate it when someone just decides to give up and feed.
For instance, this game. Granted, Noctune was fed like a fat kid at Thanksgiving by just murdering the crap out of top & bottom lanes…
Near the end, Olaf decided to just give up and was running up the bot lane to die to the towers. That’s just cowardice, and is not fab. Taric disapproves.
Yes, that post title is correct. It totally happened.
To be fair, it worked surprisingly well. Major problem was… well… Alistar DC’d. And the enemy team seemed to have paid off Lady Luck, since they often escaped/survived fights they shouldn’t have.
Probably not the best build, but I wasn’t really expecting to *play* Jungletaric, so I was winging it with the first one I could find on Mobafire. The runes were definitely different, though, didn’t have a chance to set that one up specifically. Was using AD reds, Armor yellows, MR/level blues and AD quints. Wasn’t watching the time to see how fast he was clearing, but it felt like it was at a respectable rate, and once he got his heal he didn’t really need potions past the first three out of the cloth + 5 start since the cooldown was coming up so fast from all the melee. (If you’ve got a better one, let me know.)
Flashing out of a bush and stunning someone is a *mean* gank. Honestly, if we had our fifth man we probably could’ve won this, since we were actually doing extremely well at catching the enemies out of position later-on and winning skirmishes. At one point we were pushing their outer base turrets. It’s come up before, but you just hit that point in a 4v5 where you can try to fight back, but it’s just a inevitability. You’ll botch a fight, and then they’ll push all your towers/take Baron and win.
Sadly my virus checker decided to break LOLReplay again so I didn’t get it recorded. I think I’ve gotten it permanently fixed so it shouldn’t happen again.
There is nothing quite as beautiful as seeing the enemy team pick both Katarina and Nunu when you know you’re going to be playing Taric.
“Oh, look, someone’s having a seizure and throwing knives everywhere. We should help her out. *DAZZLE!* There, feel better? Oh, I hope so, because you’re now dead.”
“Oh, look, someone thinks they’re going to do a bunch of frosty AOE damage to the entire team. *DAZZLE!*”
Dazzle. Deal with it. *crosses arms and puts on shades* Game 8 Replay Link.
