I'm 4th at champions pick. I don't really pay attention to the bans, until I see that Kassadin has not been banned.
Kassadin not banned.
Kassadin not banned.
A truck of unpleasant memories hits me. I shyly point out this fact in chat, and a mate answers "np, just counter kassadin". Well I am too noob to know how to counter a champion I cannot even play well. Almost every Kass I faced mid was a pain in the... lane. Besides, when I'm playing with my friends and we want to win fast and easy, one of them just picks Kass and goes mid. The match usually ends @ 20 mins. This is my idea of Kassadin, like... the Boogeyman of the Fields of Justice. No offense to Fiddle.
So, we're Yorick, Warwick, Lux, Cait, Lulu (ye I'm stuck to the support role whenever I can) vs. Kassadin (ç_ç), Graves, Nocturne, Irelia and Taric.
Some discussion about the summoners, I pick flash + ignite as usual, someone asks me or Cait to take cv (why Cait? for ulti?) so our poor AD carry switches to exhaust / ignite / heal / cv / heal and eventually keeps heal + flash. Their bot lane seems to be pretty tough, they got double heal, taric also has cv but no flash. Their Nocturne also doesn't have smite. I thought it was an obvious must-have for all junglers, but I'm just an apprentice and won't question any weird choice.
Game loading screen freezes, I exit with alt+F4 and quickly rejoin the game. All is ok, but I can't see the health potions in the shop :V err... I don't think of closing the game completely and try reloading again (that would have been too smart). I just pick one more ward and some extra mana pots at start.
Cait is very self confident and plays quite aggressively, so forgetting the 2x heal we get involved in an early-level duel which ends with Cait dying, me killing Taric and Graves getting a double kill on us. Yay, pro support is pro -.- ...and meanwhile, our WW is disconnected.
After that, the game changes quickly. Luckily, Yorick got FB from Irelia top and now freely feeds on her. Taric disconnects, Kassadin can't kill Lux mid and the game ends fast without much problems (and not a single team fight). I don't really feel it's a GG, enemy team had lots of dc and an AFKer, and... as I realized later, it's Kassadin free week. And this Kass wasn't really shining. Free ELO for us, but wasn't really a challenging or fun game. We felt sorry for our opponents (well, at least I did) which only had bad luck. Some of them were actually good (like that Graves we had bot).
+18 rating, 998 ELO, Suppordle still has more luck than skill.
