Tryhards and happy endings

Another week of me being a tryhard. :<

I know I said I would never again play any character other than Zyra and Blitz but... Leona + Cait, 'cause she asked me for it. And I'm a good person. And Blitz was banned, anyway.

"Ok with Leona or would you prefer some more sustain?" I ask.
"I dont need heal i know protect myself"
Whoa :V such self-confidence! I like him.

Other random talks in champion selection screen. Cait takes the lead.
"play what do u want
counter yi mid
i can mid if u dont want"
Random summoner: "Can you shut up?"
"haha ok"

^^"

We're facing a not-so-common Alistar+Sivir bot lane. ...poor them :V I was in a good day, and did a good job. Cait was also ok (even took traps at lvl1 T_T it's been a while since the last time) and we managed to win the lane. I even took 2 early kills, but only just 'cause Cait was already dead.
Our GP was also Awesome!

1232, +15 elo. Oooh thats the way i like it :)


---

Another soloQ, I manage to get Blitz! \o/ I must switch with our ADC who was first pick, but I don't have many characters for him :-/ eventually I pick Tristana.
Our jungler was a good Sejuani... I really like her, so I'm always glad to see that she's still viable!
+15, 1247 ELO: slowly climbing.

---
First pick! I pick Zyra 'cause Blitz is banned. ...erf no, someone leaves.
Banned both Blitz and Zyra? Oh well I'll pick Nami.
Maybe I failed, but our Cait surely failed more :( she was flaming from the very beginning. She didn't place a single trap in the bush, I had to ask her to.

1228, -19 :( SIIIGH my win/lose ratio with Nami is terribly low. But I like her so much and I believe she has such strong potential that I just cannot let her go... (And the Koi Nami skin has the sweetest look ever!!)


--

A bit of mess in the champion selection screen. I didn't understand what happened, but one of us said "I'm gonna dodge bb" and picked Heimerdinger mid. Obvious troll pick, I remember that not so many time ago one should've picked Evelynn to do the same thing :')
We told him to just leave, I even suggested him to do an ARAM in the meanwhile (I usually do it when I want to dodge trollpicks), but he said he didn't want to wait. So we switched our picks and managed to fill all the lanes, and the game started. I wrote in chat: "Come on, let's show them that Heimer is viable! :<"

Well, that's how it worked: we didn't lose a single turret. Heimer didn't troll and played well, keeping its lane vs enemy's Nidalee and even getting some kills. Our Teemo top was really good. We won every lane, and didn't lose even a single turret. Was an awesome game with a very nice team and a good coordination.

At the end of the game, I wanted to thank Heimer.

"gg Heimer, glad you played well despite the pick"
"your attitude changed everything" - he answered.

He said that he was planning of staying afk or troll, but since we didn't flame him and tried to be nice and work together to win, we convinced him to do his best. Such a wonderful lesson! Faith in community: restored.

+16, 1244... I love happy endings :')

--

Another solo queue.... premade bot. OHMAHGAD I must go top O.O it's the role I know the least! What can I do?
I take Singed since it's one of the few I can somewhat play decently. Let's hope for the best >.<
I'm happy we had a good Rengar jungler, who took FB top and ganked Darius one more time early. So I even managed to take a kill all alone after that ^^ (erf pretty lame I know, but I really am not confident with bruisers or top lane.
I was not a scary Singed, but was ok. Could split push a lot thanks to teleport, and managed to pick some good flings. Glad we won :)

+19, 1263 :D fling to win!
---
Come on, another one! Hmm I must jungle but Amumu is free, so it's ok. But no, someone leaves.
I'm first pick and manage to pick Blitz! But someone leaves too :-/
Third try, I pick Zyra and go bot with Draven. I somehow felt that something would go wrong, 'cause we asked him several times to pick an adc - he wanted to go Teemo mid when mid was already taken.
And he was in fact so low, slow and ... MEH, that our jungler asked him how could he be @ 1200, since he clearly didn't belong here. A little rough, but we all felt the same :( maybe he was just having a bad day, though.

-17, 1246, well ye I was the one who took all the kills in lane :( Draven was either away or already dead.

---

Last one for today. I want to go back to one of my all-time favourites, so I pick Lux and go bot with a MF.
I never met such a suiciding adc O.O she clearly couldn't evaluate the danger of a situation, and was like a little running Rambo - always busy to shot things, but being shutted down every time instead. At 20 minutes, she had half the deaths of the entire team :-/
Luckily, we had an amazing Morde mid who carried us to victory despite the little red rebel. It was one of the few times that someone who claims to be good actually is that good. (Usually it goes like "OMG 99% win let me mid!" - and fails horribly.)

+17, 1263, good guy Morde carried the game :)

WTB moar vacations. AAAND...

NOOOO my weekend is over O.O
I don't want to go back to work!
...and do THINGS!
...and meet my colleagues! T__T
SIIIIIIIIIGH!
*random RL QQ*

Let's go whine on LoL instead.

Meh :V My Ezreal was so slow, he couldn't harass at all. But was awesome at being harassed, though XD
Jungler Wukong was fail. Mid Kennen was a-suiciding-wannabeRambo-sparkling-Yordle. I died a lot.
So much spam and cry in chat :V wasn't I the one who was supposed to whine??

Back to 1202 rating :V and I'll be sure to play ranked when all kids are already back to school.


---
Ranked games with a friend. We're playing on a local tournament and we wanted to train for bot lane. We wanted to try out some bot lane classics, like Ezreal+Taric.
BUT!
Blitz is free and the first pick asks me if I can use him.
*JIGGLE*
Ez+Blitz. Yeah :D
1217!

---

Well, it's all for this week.
Tomorrow I'll be leaving for some days to spend my long-awaited, relaxing holidays.
My boyfriend gave me the more useful gift ever foor my birthday: a four days break in a spa resort *_*
See you next week!

I'm almost in losing spree!

Ok, so I made up my mind. I want to win. I want to raise my ELO. I'll play what is clearly OP, at least at the  current meta and trands.
First choice: Blitzcrank. Pick or ban.
Secon choice: Zyra. Noone ever bans her at my ELO.

LET'S GO!

---
MF + Zyra. THE PAIN! ...for the others. I never took so many kills as a support! XD
Ok, maybe the fact that I was building AP in late game didn't help... but comeoooonnnnnn: Zyra!! \o/
+15, 1180 ELO.

---
First pick! I ban ezreal, I take Blitz. Good! But to, an obvious troll picks double mid and I must leave -.- I'll just make an ARAM in the meanwhile.
---
I queue with a friend who mostly plays mid or jungler. Today he played Maokai or Nunu.
My early game was full of fight with my Ashe :-/ who was really slow and kept dying and making me die. But let's go back to champion selection. He asked for mid but was already taken. So he picked Heimer. Then Ashe. Then claimed to only have AP runes. Then, my obvius response:
"Why do you queue for ranked then?"
"My main account is banned"
"...and I guess this one will be too, soon."
Aaaah I love myself when I'm like that.
Btw, game starts and he has 0 AP. What a troll. Back to fight early 'till we both ignore ourselves.
"Blitz fails every grab!"
ANGER.
I started roaming and grabbed every single enemy I saw, leading him to certain death.
"WHO CANNOT GRAB, AGAIN?"
Yes I'm a bit touchy.
Lane was a disaster, but team fights were awesome. More than one teammates thanked me for my good job.
Well. VERY well. :p
+17, 1197 ELO. Very well.

---
So many trolls today :V many games left before being able to start a queue.
Bot Zyra Vayne + my friend Nunu jungle.
SO OP!!!
And as I said to my friend: "Zyra is my new bitch".
There was a lot of harass in chat from enemies.
And I really, really meant "main".
+22, 1219 ELO

---
Again! Alone in queue this time. Zyra+Graves. Hmmm you can't cary with Zyra if your adc is too slow :-/ and I begun to feel tired too. Good to know. Our Lee didnt gank and their Corki was reacting very well, so I died early and wasn't effective. Too bad, learned something.
-17, 1202 ELO

---
Ok, alone again. This time versus a Leona-Trist lane, pretty aggressive too.
Hope this cait is good... she took heal vs Trist :V
GODS YES she was good! We were really dominating the early and mid game. Then "roaming" phase begun and random allies begun being melted around the map. Ok, I'm almost used to it at this point.
Jarv begun going solo and not being with us T_T we had to fight in chat to make him stay with us. "stfu all! stfu or afk!" Oh well :-/ But at the end we won, despite several disconnections from our Kennen
+18, 1220 ELO


Ok I'll finish today's matches with this victory... trying to keep all team together was so hard, that I'm tired :p

New year! Throwing fireworks?

...I prefer throwing games instead! T_T

MEH MEH MEH Happy new year :-/
---
Did I say fireworks? I meant FLAMING FLAMERS AOE throwing the game that was won early and mid.
-20, 1232 ELO, happy new fail! :-/

---
Again! ...really, again :V I want to avoid suicide teams!! :( Bot was ok but we lost all the early advantage...

-20, 1212 ELO, MEH!! MEHHHHH!!!

---
FUUUCK
Moar moar moar!
Wait! Blitz free!! Can I take blitz?
No, enemy picks him as first pick  T_T noooo NOOOO!
Well at least we got Ez, I take leona and GG?
Nope. Ez got caught too much (despite his E). Kassadin mid kept spamming spamming spamming and never helped.
-24, 1188 ELO... oh gods.

---
Blitz!! Yes I can take Blitz!! I trade with mid who was first pick :-D
Yes yes YES you actually do carry games with him!
Fed ezreal in lane, saved carries, picked up squishies, warded at the speed of light... OMG FFS BBQ!!! YES!
+19, 1207, well thats something.

---
I must jungle and pick Maokai. Hmmm no :( I failed, bot failed, mid too.
-23, 1184 o.o what? Why do I lose that much rating and gain so little?

---
Duo queue with a friend. He plays Brand mid, I play Lux bot. Winz!
+21, 1205 ELO, Thanks Max-Brand!!

---
Again soloQ, again I fail.
-22, 1183
---
ONE MORE!!
I pick Nami and go bot with a Twich. I dont think he's a strong carry but whatever.
Oh yes! I give him first blood, a double kill and other kills in lane! *_*
...he still fails so hard later!! T_T
Our Eve mid was also not good. I lost my patience (if I had any, this game) and started "insulting" her. Double kill. Another insult. Another double kill. Whell, that could be a  strategy :V
But no, she was so nice that went afk the last minutes completely throwing a game we could have won with little effort. Oh, I'm not even angry anymore.
I lied. Still angry as hell.
-17, 1166 ELO.

--
Ok, ok, ok. Lets start with OP chats. What does Reignofgaming say for soloQ? Zyra and Blitz? OK.
I will only play Zyra or Blitz as support.

First game: total ownage.
+17, 1183 ELO.
---
First pick *_* I pick Blitz of course!!
Gah, first defeat with him. After a beautiful game, we owned the early and mid, but was completely throwed by TARDS (can I say tards in my blog? Hell yes I can) ... as I was saying TARDS who kept roaming alone in enemy's jungle without the right visibility.
-18, 1165 ELO.

---

Ok, last one for today.
"never tried shen jungle, put it can probably works" says a random mate.
But luckily someone leaves.

Another match, I agree to switch Zyra supp for Teemo top. But a stupid (yes, stupid,t hat's it) moron doesn't read the chat and picks Taric. Yelling at me cause I didn't write anything. But it's been the first thing that I ever wrote :V

Ok, ok, I have enough of this idiots. And leave the queue. I've had enough for this session.

Last Christmas I gave you my ward...

Yes!! It's Christmas days! And I got no holidays from work T_T so I have little chance to queue up for some ranked games. Sigh!
However, now and then I try to keep up with my training.

---
Bot with a random Ashe who clearly doesn't know what a support is like :)

"OMG you know what a support is?? You must support ME all the time!"
"I'm supporting all the team man, and I must ward. Don't engage 1 vs 2 when you clearly see that I'm not with you"
"no omg this elo you people"
"...as you wish my dear :)"  - and ignored -

We won anyway. I support all the team; not just one arrogant (and mostly failing) carry.
1340 ELO

---

I duo queue with that Corki from last time. I'm pretty happy about it! We will have a great time and cheer up the entire team!
...or not.
We were facing a Blitz-Mf lane and he was caught a lot.
There also was a lot of fight in chat :( we just couldn't be a team this time. Also my fault for not asking to ban  Blitz.
-23, 1317 ELO

---

Last time my new "friend"  was a little mad cause nothing went his way XD but this time!!
... nothing :( my "super nice" Corki was just nice before X-Mas time I guess. He also was raging in chat a lot :( what about my "be supportive - win the games" thing?
Nooo I also forgot to pick up the screenshot T_T
- 27, 1295 ELO

---

SoloQ! I end up with "Slow Ezreal". Too slow.
- 25, 1270 ELO


---

Bot Janna + Graves were pretty well, but a "stupid anivia throwed our game" (I wrote).
:-/ She decided it was lost at min 15 and didn't play well the entire game.
I tried to be supportive and everyone was willing to fight - and good! - but anivia was against us all the time.
-21, 1249 ELO T_T noooo nooooooo NOOOOOO!!!




---
Fail :( I shouldn't have done more matches today. I'm playing worst than ever!!
We had nice enemies and the chat was funny, at least.
-20, 1229 ELO T_T one more maybe?

---

Well... just by playing can I get better, right?
So I pick Lux. Revenge of the light? Or just double rainbow fail? REVENGE IT IS!
+23, 1252 ELO :3 stop for now!!

Lets try out this "be supportive" thing...

My job is literally killing me. I'm working hard every day from 8.30 AM to 7.30 PM and this will end only on Christmas. Hopefully. I should definitely get more sleep.
That said, I had a chance to queue up with a friend tonight, but I was really tired and refused. ...just kidding, we went bot lane. He picked MF, I took Leona 'cause enemy team had Blitzcrank.

...Whoa. I don't know what happened to me, but I did really good early. Took an (undesired) FB from Blitz and another kill on Draven (that MF couldn't take). We won bot really easily.

But in the first minutes I was the only one with kills in my team :-/ (BAD, 'cause I should've given the kills to my carry T_T it wasn't intentional, though!).

By the way, when lane phase was over, my team begun failing and complaining in chat about others' actions. At first I was thinking "bah another loser that is only able to QQ, just ignore..." but then I remembered what happened to me last night.

....I mean, the good guy Corki who cheered us up leading us to victory. What were you thinking??
And I said to myself: well, let's give it a try at least.
I begun writing things like "come on don't start complaining :) we can still win this, let's be a team!" and "np with the bad initiation, was just bad luck!" and again "4 x 4 but we won an inhibitor, not bad!".

And damn, IT WORKED.
Teammates stopped complaining and trying to blame someone else for their errors, and actually started being together and acting like a team. I couldn't believe it at first.


+26 ELO, 1320 rating, supports actually WIN the game!
