20th and 21th try - Pretty please?

"Best @ supp worst @ ad"
"Same"

But I was slower and wrote second :-/ so I took the Cow and went to the jungle.

We're Olaf, Alistar, Annie, Janna, Sivir vs Volibear, Nida (top), Cassiopeia, Miss Fortune and Soraka. We got more cc, we could easily win!

We had an awesome start. I started ganking at lvl 2 and didn't stop until 6. Then I went back to buy. Lots of kills, a good advantage + FB, everything seemed fine. But then... the pain. Our Annie was really bad, I'm sad to admit it but it's true. She was always taking the wrong path, walking alone like a boss but being roflstomped like one of Teemo's Mushrooms. But without any damage to the enemy. Our Sivir's first item was a triforce... I don't know if it's really a bad choice on her, but she was always pushing alone, waiting for the nth gank. Long story short, they got really fed and no cow could save them. I felt like I had no team, just 4 solo dudes trying to go 1 vs 5. "Pretty please, try to stay as a team". NO. Annie was useless, Sivir was soloing all the time, Janna... well, no shame nor glory for her. Our Olaf was good, but we could little against a super-fat Miss Fortune. They rushed our nexus and GG. I felt really frustrated, a wonderful start ruined by some exceptionally low mates.

Lolwut, I forgot to check the score :-/ must've lost around 17 ELO. Good start, bad mates, same old story.

_________________________________

Second try, please don't match me with armless monkeys T_T please. Just please. Pretty please.

Selection screen, I arrogantly ask for my role - "me support please :)" - and we begin.

We're Ezreal, Lulu, Nocturne, Annie, Warwick vs. Cassio, Wukong (WTF I SAID NO MONKEYS), Kog'Maw, Soraka, Olaf. Pleeease! Be a good team! Please!! >.<

The game ended pretty fast. My Ezreal was always low, as his favourite hobby was to bait attacks and silences - and take them all right in the face. I ran out of mana trying to save him, and when we finally were both low and oom he decided to throw himself in the middle of the lane, trying to kill Kog. He died, I picked up Kog's kill, he started blaming me. I was pinging to go back for at least a minute. But no, sure, it's my fault, why recall at 15th minute when you can feed them a bit instead. Gosh. I was nervous and as he started flaming me I begun aswering properly (in my way, saying things like "sure, blaming the support makes you SO pro, my dear" and "you're dead, I killed him and I'm alive, you want to cry more?". Suddently, my connection beginned to faint, and as I sensed we were going through a sort of fight bot I ulted + shielded Ezreal, but couldn't see what was going on since I was lagging too much. Then I disconnected. I reconnected to find I didn't die (nor did Ez, apparently) and the chat was weirdly empty. A gank bot, Nocturne's ulti, I ulted him, Annie joined the party, they surrendered. We discovered right after that that enemy team had one leaver. Not really GG, I want to have nice and fair games, not argues with overgrown arrogant kids. Meh meh meh. Maybe next time? ...pretty please? :p

Gained whatever I did, 1109 rating, Leavers are bad but flamers are worst.

18th and 19th try - Double up!

I usually prefer to play ranked games alone, but today I gladly queued with a friend :) so we asked for bot lane.
First try, all ok in chat, when a random Evelyn with smite + revive appears! But she's also so kind to leave the game :-/ 
Second try, everyone's still nice and lets us bot.
We're Akali, Lulu, Tryndamere, Kog'Maw, Nocturne vs. Lee Sin (top), Brand, Warwick (jungle), Alistar (supp), Graves.
Nice game, with a well fought bot lane, but an over-farmed Akali mid that begun melting everything, and won us the game :)

+15 ELO, 1125 rating, Friends will be- OMG Akali quadrakill!!

____________________

Despite it's saturday afternoon, which usually means more trolls and bad players (can't pove it yet, but I'm sure of it!) we decide to give it another shot.Lulu, Nidalee, Nautilus, Annie, Kog'Maw vs. Zilean, Teemo, Malphite, Karthus, Ashe
Dat bombs -.- the most annoying things ever. And even though we wouldn't have died, Karthus' ulti was just too annying. Couldn't shield both of us of course, and I died often :( dat Ashe wasn't really brilliant and missed lots of arrows, but jungle Malphite was always ready to ulti us under our turret. Felt so helpless. Our Annie could nothing against Karth, and our top Nida went AP and couldn't do much vs. Teemo. We were slowly losing all lanes and - well, it's obvious when you begin losing - the chat begin to be filled with insults and complaints. After some more destruction, Annie quits, and we surrender. I never agree to surrender, expecially in ranked games, but even if I pressed no I must admit that this one was a relief.
-18 ELO, 1107 rating, leavers in hell will go to hell.

17th try - All you need is MOOH!

Always hot in here :-/ my room is as small as a coffin, and my fan is trying its best to keep me safe from spontaneous combustion. Don't fail me now fan, I'm going to elo hell! :<
"Support please!"
"dude let me support I'm premade with the carry"
"meh ok, I jungle then - can I alistar or u want to support with him?"
"i want support pls"
...
"I said can I JUNGLE with alistar or u want to pick him as supp?"
"lol sry kk"
Seems that reading is not a universal skill :-/

So we're Sivir, Morde, Anivia, Alistar (MOOOH), Taric vs. Hecarim (top), Mundo, Urgot, Blitzcrank, Vladimir.

We had an awful start. Morde was afk under turret 'cause he was at the phone (...) and we got invaded without having cover. My stun + Anivia's ball and I head to safety. But blitz kept the grab to pull me back to their team, and my flash wasn't enough to avoid giving them the first blood. Sad cow is sad. As I respawn, I quickly signal my team to do their blue instead. But my mates seem to be checking facebook, and are too slow to be effective, so I start jungling without buffs. Had really hard times trying to keep up with the levels and farm, and could gank much less than I wanted. The rest of my team was feeding, overextending without wards and blaming me for not being in every side of the map at the same moment. Well, I ganked bot successfully 2 times and made some enemy use flash several times, but hey - ye it's my fault that everyone's dying. Extremely sad cow. Anivia started complaining about everything while dying under enemy's turret.

"nub alistar"

I was losing any hope of victory, when Sivir came out from bot lane and started killing things. Whoa, when did she get fed? o.o

We won several team fights (also thanks to Blitz who used to pull me right into their team) and at the end rushed their nexus pretty quickly. No-one was complaining anymore about my skills :) weird isn't it? Everyone kept saying "gj", cause we really were a good matchup and fought well. But dat laning phase almost disrupted our team spirit :-/

+16 ELO, 1110 rating, all you need is MOOH!!!

16th try - SO hot!

Hell has come to my room.
It's too hot to stay at the pc, too hot to think. I don't care, finally I have some spare time, so... let's support! My connection feels laggy, my router is burning, let's hope for the best.

I don't really pay much attention at picks. Noone writes in chat, so my "hi there, support pls :)" stays alone.
So we're Rumble, Twisted Fate, Lulu, Malzahar, Malphite vs Pantheon, Lux, Kyle, Nocturne and Volibear. Whooo they have no ranged ad? No wait... flash+heal... it's Kayle? And Voli's going to support her? I'm confused.
Game starts, TF is AP and claims mid, saying he told it and he's second pick so he's higher elo and blah blah blah. So I'm bot with Malz :-/ selection chat bugged, noone could see the other's sentences. Siiigh. Let's hope for a good game, they have no true AD carry either.
Bot line is Kyle-Voli, as I imagined. After a couple of fail ganks from our Malph + TF, we happen to be 0/3 at 6th minute. Yay? Early game was really painful, me and Malz were really slow and couldn't escape enemy's cc, so we were under turret all the time.

Then something changed, as we started roaming a bit: our AP carries were definitely not bad, and could manage to do a couple of kills. One team fight after another we push their inhibitor, enemy team surely didn't know well who to focus and was relatively easy to save my squishies' asses. I felt like the hero of the day, since many bad team fights turned to our advantage largely due to my CCs. Come on guys, let me feel proud of my little skills, once in a while!

Everything was going just fine, when suddenly my Lulu decided it was too hot to move. WHAT?? I couldn't move her or use abilities, I just could write in chat. "My game client is crushing" - I guess - "better restart it". But could not even start the launcher. So I restart my router. Nothing happens. I try again restarting the entire system, and when I finally log in I find a mysterious obstacle between me and my ranked game.

FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
No no nooooo we can win this game!! Why am I stuck outside?? Hold on guys, I'll be there soon!!

I finally manage to log back in, apologizing with my mates for the disconnection. Geeeez, I've been away for at least 4-5 minutes!! We were dominating, but while I was away we lost an inhibitor and got pushed to our base.
"My client, pc and connection crashed... I'm so mad >.< sorry guys!"
"Np, now make up for that and let's win this." - says TF.

No more than 1 minute later, we were fighting at the baron, bringing home a nice ACE, and rushing through their nexus. "Ok like this? :D" And it's a GG!!
+18 ELO, 1094 rating, Hot suppordle is HOT!

14th and 15th try - Angry squills and first picks

Worked hard and "carried" the lab all day, I just want to relax and be a support for a while. :)

I'm last at picks, I always love it!
Suddenly a random discussion appears...

Mate1: "so i top, cant jungle"
Mate2: "so i top, cant mid, cant jungle, cant ad carry, cant support"
Me: "o.o why ranked then?"
I'll never understand this attitude. If you can play only one role, why you go ranked?
At the end I said I could jungle, but another one was so nice to let me support instead :) so I choose Lulu.
We're Annie, Varus, Jax, Sejuani (jungle), Lulu vs Nocturne, Kata, Ashe, Alistar, Tryndamere.

Bot lane was funny, I must thank Varus for the nice play. Ashe-Alistar combo was full of slows and stuns, but with some squills instead of cows all went fine.
But then the lane phase ends, and a super fat Tryndamere leaves top to roam through his jungle, our jungle, our lanes, our turrets, our corpses. SO fed!! >.<
We fought some nice tf, but evenually their team spirit was much better than ours, and we lost.

-19 rating (o.o dat cut!), 1093 ELO, fluffy Squills eventually turn into angry barbarians :(

_____________________

First pick, I panic a bit. I ban some of the standard champs (Kassa / Shen / Lee).
Chat in the champion selection screen is weirdly empty o.o
With a bit of fear (I'm first pick, don't know which AD I'll have to babysit and which combo I'll have to counter) I pick Sona for lots of sustain and a bit of cc. Our 3rd mate picks Alistar first, and 1 second before locking changes to Irelia. Cool, cause the only roles that were already decided were support and solo top -.- Luckily our GP is nice and goes jungle instead.

So we're Sona, GP, Irelia, Varus, Akali vs. Maokai, Ahri, Graves, Riven, Blitzcrank.
HATE Blitz for all his grabs. It sucks to pick first when you want to support.
Game starts, Irelia tries to go bot :-/ multiple pings, and she heads top.
I can't tell what was wrong, bot lane was ok (Blitz definitely wasn't the King of skillshots and missed almost everything) but when team fight phase arrived we found ourselves to be clearly inferior. So ye, GG, this game was already over :( no need to tell, everybody started complaining about anyone, which just made everything even worst.

-17 rating, 1076 ELO, I hate first picks!

11th, 12th and 13th try - Rise and fail

Back in hell!
Here we go, ready to rise or fall. 

I'm last at picks. Good, I ask to go support as always, no-one complains. Perfect! I ask our carry Ashe wether she prefers sustain or cc. No answer, I choose my favourite Suppordle!

We're Ashe, Lulu, Morde, Renekton, Xin vs. Kennen, Garen, Varus, Shaco, Galio.
Galio seems to be the support since he has cv. Let's hope for the best. At least their Varus doesn't have heal.

...a disaster. An almost-complete disaster. My ashe doesn't know how to last hit, so we're stuck under turret the whole game and at 10' min Varus has 3x her cs. Morde mid goes arrogant against Kennen, and would do a great job, if weren't for the ultra-ganking Shaco that makes him die every-fuuuuu-minute. If we're losing the lanes, our Xin's losing the jungle (is it even possible?). We managed to go to late phase and even win a team fight or two somehow, but our team was clearly lower, and couldn't deserve to win. During team fights, our Ashe threw a Volley and then just ran around chicken-style. Gosh, i am no good AD carry, but someone told me to attack things that move until they stop moving. Our Renekton (really god top, tbh) was always solo and threw himself in the middle of the fight only when we were already dead, killing one lowered carry and granting enemy team an easy Ace. Our Jungle-Xin was not beefy at all, and... well... I'm as squishy as a Yordle can be, so we died early at every fight. 

I honestly can't say I played that bad, doing my job, trying to save lives and to stay alive... but it's easier to see other's faults, so I probably sucked hard, too.

At the end of the fight, two of us started to chat in Russian (I guess), and I can almost certainly tell that they were arguing or complaining, 'cause there was a lot of caps lock! ;)

They pushed us slowly but surely to our nexus, another bad team fight and the war was over.

-17 rating, 1088 ELO, disappointed Suppordle is disappointed!

____________________________

Second try, back under 1100 ELO. Our last pick says "ME TEEMO!"
I shyly dare to ask "Teemo top or AD bot?"
"yes!"
"..."
Luckily, enemy team bans Teemo (weird one, I think.)
He then says "OLAF!" - but we need a ranged AD carry. He says "ok" and when it's his turn to pick, after all the roles were decided, he locks Olaf. With a long sigh, I quit. 
After 5 minutes I log in again to discover I lost 10 rating o.o didn't know there was this kind of mechanism in ranked solo queues (lul I'm nub), but it certainly sucks. Double-sigh. I queue again.

Our AD Ashe seems to be nice, we chat a bit before game starts. She asks for cc, so I give her a Janna. Ready to go! But summoner 1 leaves, and I'm back to the queue again.

Luckily, I'm matched again with the "nice" Ashe! And I'm ready to play with my favourite skin: Hextech Janna. We finally start: Ashe, Irelia, Ahri, Shaco, Janna vs. Caitlyn, Brand, Olaf, Lulu (grrr), Riven. We're kinda squishier, let's hope it won't be a problem.

...no, it's not a problem! This time, my (Woad) Ashe knows how to kill things. But most of all, this Shaco knows how to jungle! Lots of early ganks, lots of enemy deaths: a relatively easy and smooth game is just what I needed right now. Not really gg 'cause we were literally pulverizing them, and they surrendered early without a single team fight. Their Lulu went afk after 10 minutes or so. I felt sorry for them, but I must confess I don't dislike a little free elo, when available.

+18 rating, 1096 ELO, breeze!

____________________________

Third and last try for today, let's see if I can go back over 1100 rating.
Noone wants to steal my supportive role, so this time I choose Sona.
We're Shyvana (top), Nocturne, Kata, Sona, Vayne vs. Varus, Janna, Irelia, Lux, Trundle. As their Janna (grrr for no reason) has cv, they don't have exhaust. Lux has clarity (I like it on lux, too, tbh) so they kinda lack offensive summoners. Go go team!

I fail hard picking the Aura of celerity at lvl 1 -.-" yay pro support is pro! I dissemble a winning strategy telling Vayne that I'll pick the heal at lvl 2. Another thing I failed to do in this game was buying the boots. We won (spoiler!) before I could get any, so I was slow and always late in team fights! Our lane was well fought, but eventually we managed to win it :) a good Vayne is always a pleasure to support. I must have seemed like the Queen of Baits, cause poor Varus kept attacking me and just before the final shot he was just in range for a well placed ulti + Vayne's stun + exhaust + heal + woooo flash the hell out of here. I must admit none of these wonderful baits was intentional, 'cause I was really fearing a horrible death any time! D: Luckily, our Vayne was fast enough to stun and kill everything. Our Kata was also getting horribly fed, so we won early, enemy team surrendered. GG! And back to "my" former elo :)

+16 rating, 1112 ELO, crescendo! ^^
