<blah>

back playing ranked again.  kinda smeh results.

just popped in here to say pete added me as a pal again. 

Cow you should try to add him as a friend again.  Whatever bug was up his butt seems to be gone. If people I like drop me like pete, I take a stab every now and then and try to add em again as a pal. Pete accepted.  You should try him again.

Man.. the games tonight were rough.  Did ranked all night.  Every single win was really hard fought.  Ended like +9 lp in plat V. 

Fast recap

• game 1 - WIN - leona pacov - win but weak itemization choices for me imo.  No major complaints about teammates
• game 2 - LOSS - 3/4/20 blitz.  annoyed with our jungle ww. We had a kalista bot (think we should have taken jungle priority to ensure that)... jungle ww focused over and over helping wukong top - eg low benefit at high cost. We lose because they have a huge front line and we can't catch their adc (mostly because wukong is pootown).  Hnny goes 10/3/14 ori, me 3/4/20 blitz... bad beat due to weak teammates, but we did as much as possible to carry
• game 3 - LOSS - liss top. My stats don't look great, but I crushed my lane - hunny was adc with an intentionally feeding support which hurt him quite a bit and we had a really soft mid
• game 4 - WIN - 4/5/16 leona.  weaker stats, but I played the shit out of this. Good skill cap on their bot lane.  hunny and i duo it as graves/leona.  Really, really hard fought win
• game 5 - LOSS - liss top me - crushed and insulted by a few on the team.  I actually do fine in lane, people do smeh elsewhere - feel like i was scapegoated a bit, but w/e.  Anyway, took a bunch of invalid criticism imo all due to a shit head support that really wanted to play top. 
• game 6 - LOSS - solo pacov-  get graves adc. My support trolls because he doesn't want to be a support. tries his best to consistently steal cs as thresh. I treat him kindly but he's a shite.  Then we have our jungler dc.
• game 7 - WIN - last game of night.  I play j4 jung and go 4/5/22.  I check stats at the start of the game and determine I need to help camp my mid, then help top and last priority is bot.  I camp the SHITE out of mid.  I get them ahead (its veigar vs jayce). Top lane struggles so I focus there.  Bot lane does ok, but the support goes on tilt.  I don't have good dragon control at all and lose quite a bit, but most of my rotations are resulting in kills.  Anyway, support calls me out and is a rude shite, I mute and move along.  I make a few good plays and we end the game.  I have a decent performance. Even chatted nicely and privately w/ the support after the game about their behavior.  Ends w/ hugs and kisses.   I actually think I had good strategy overall, but wish I could have done better with dragon control... not so easy when I felt like I really needed to make sure my mid/top did not fall off. 

Anyway, I started 0 lp, ended night with 9 lp.  I need to get more reps in... the game lowered my mmr a bit for that last game... not happy about that. 

Killed it tonight.  4/0 ranked.  92 lp or something like that in plat V.  86% win rate w/ leona over 7 games.  mmr's back on the rise and feeling good.

Highest win rate in the previous season in ranked was morg with 70% w/r, braum with 62% w/r, and cait with 64% win rate.  I think braum is pretty much trash now.   Ever since they dropped the width on his q or whatever, smeh. 

holy crap did team liquid get rolled...

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL COW

new feature on op.gg that's interesting to me anway :

http://na.op.gg/

it shows game mmr for all games, so u can see what's up.  eg i play ranked at 1700 mmr, norms at 1500, etc..

Oh Karl why did you have to beat me by 1 point!  

Also in Diamond promos woot!

0-3 in my series. On further review garen IS NOT a counter to sion. I got destroyed in lane by one, I also think sion is broken as fuck after seeing a good player on him that game. There is literally nothing you can do to stop him from farming. 

went 1/2 last night in ranked... managed to get hunny promoted to plat 4 but I failed my promos to plat 4. 

I am having pretty decent games on off roles. Got to jungle some j4 and mao kai, won both games. Played support blitz twice went 1-1. The game I won I carried super hard but my ADC was pretty good. The game I lost every lane lost :/. Had some good Brand games lost one where I was carrying but both my top and bot lane lost hard from Gnar teleports and just a bad match up (malphite). Gnar got really out of control by just building tank stats. Ended up having to deal with super fed Gnar in my face while trying to kill super fed lucian, turns out its not very easy to do.

Having some fun in Twisted Treeline with Karl, bryff and brad again. I have decided it is more beneficial for me to be on supporty casters like lulu, morg, and karma when we play since karl/brad/bryffs champ pools are all really high damage bruisers so keeping them alive longer while doing a decent amount of damage myself (also adding tons of utility with lulu in particular) makes the most sense. We are currently 4-1 and placed into Gold II. Competition hasn't been very tough though.

I was really hoping to be back in Diamond V right away as I think it would be much easier to climb while I have a lower total amount of games (bigger LP gains). Guess ill just have to keep grinding.... I will probably get it this week at some point.

I just see Sion's lose because they never land their knockup.

Evidently I am not the only one who is listening to Missy Elliot after the super bowl half time show. She is enjoying a large increase in spotify streams and itunes downloads haha.
