Well, my last few days of games I've been up against some top laners that have SIGNIFICANTLY outplayed me.  I've been playing a bunch of ekko for the most part and just had folks that absolutely annihilate based on mistakes.  Anyway, I hopped back to Fizz mid and got rolling again pretty quickly.  Trying to decide what to do about top.  I could put in more reps on ekko and keep him for the disruption he brings/assassinate on carries later game.  I don't think fizz is super viable top as full ap.  

fizzed muh way back to p4 in the tardo queue 

it is new year? That is news to me! I'm surprised you're even still here. 

well just played wingsofdeathx top lane in a promo to plat 3.  I farmed like crap.  I def could have done much better, but the loss I think landed on our shitty bot lane's shoulders for the most part.  We had a fucked up comp to boot.  Anyway, cool to bump into the fancy lads now and then.  Best so far was vs like challenger 1 or 3 on LAN, but that was some nonsense.  

So, after getting stomped a few times by top lane renek with ignite, I'm putting in some reps in on it again.  Win rates decent and snowball power is pretty decent.  I put in a bunch of reps many months ago, so kind of rusty.  Anyway, I'll prob put in 1 or 2 more normal drafts and then hop back to ranked.  

Now that I'm mostly playing ranked, my attitude about norms has tanked quite a bit.  1 - anytime I swap to do normal drafts, I pretty much start out getting autofilled... so that's an entire game wasted where I don't get to work on whatever drew me to play a norm draft.  2 - I typically just go nuts and do w/e... particularly if auto filled.  I'm finding in ranked I get maybe auto filled 1 out of 8 or 9 games... normal draft seems like 1 out of 3 or 4.  

holy crap does my renek need work.  Spamming him pretty much nonstop even into unfavorable matchups so I can learn them.  Took a ton of games on yorick to get used to how to play against champs so its pretty much the same with renek.  ONE of my problems is that I'm a little too ham.  Need to get my cadences down for early game in lane.  I actually do decently when I do group... some of the time anyway.

The main trick is getting some precision with his combos.  Everything, like riven (he's a slightly easier riven imo), is a string combo if you are doing it right... BUT you have to determine when to do which combo.  For example, a common combo at level 2 in its base form is E>Q>E.  The desirable form of that is E>aa>Q>E.  Being precise with that means a lot of extra dmg in trades.  

Then at lv 3, you get your E>aa>W>Q>E or E>aaW>ign>aa>Q>E.  Anyway, I need to assess better what combo to go for and trade more consistently.  Particularly as I'm taking IGN.  

Thunder have you tried kali since the buffs?  Curious if you feel like she's ok again, etc.

The bugfix on Rend not resetting was actually just as major as the buffs IMO.  She's in a great place.

Or so it feels.  I'm still in Silver so it's hard to judge.  Sometimes my Supports are autofilled and sometimes the enemies are so that makes it harder as well.

When Riot nerfed her before they only ruined her for lower skilled players like myself and for SoloQ so she stayed OP in competitive before they completely gutted her.  Now they've buffed her in a way that mostly helps scrubs so hopefully she won't become pick/ban in the LCS and I can keep maining her.

After all these years pacov, you pay me back

Well, we got bad dong to place in gold IV for solo/duo.  I placed silver 1 and bumped up to gold V after a few games in solo/duo.  Sitting in plat IV on flex atm.  

Mostly spamming mid ATM looking to play kat or fizz.  My kat game is still pretty meh, but usually good enough for the elo.  Fizz is prob my best champ atm. I dropped reps on talon as I've decided I'm crap w/ him.  

I love statistics and stuff so I was digging around league of graphs today and found this:

Kind of fun to see how to do against other players in the world on certain champions. 

Just wondering if demigod is still active. Back after 8 years lol.

Looking a little dead on the DG front:  http://www.demigodthegame.com/opengames.asp
