Tales of a bronze bastard VI

Tales of a bronze bastard VI -- current TP = 63 Bronze IV

Well I'm 5th ELO after an 11-minute wait.  Solo falls to me.  I had a casual game this morning where I destroyed an Erlang Solo and went 8-4.  I have chaac on the enemy team. Can the bronze bastard make Cerb ranked solo work?  We'll see, I guess.

Well, I lost a little early.  That happens.  I had trouble in casual until I hit level 3. This Chaac handles me well, and we fight to a convincing stalemate by the 10-minute mark.  As is often the case in solo, I'm not so worried about my performance, as that of my allies.  I keep hearing trouble from the duo lane.  They lose a tower.  The jungle starts BM-ing the mid, who also loses a tower.  About 20 mintues in, I am still stalemating this Chaac; but getting the upper hand. 

Both the T1 and T2 mid and duo towers fall.  Really?  I mean, really?  Doesn't the law of averages state that I have to get not-shit players SOME of the time, at least??  I mean, eff me.

We end up winning a couple of good team fights at the end, but losing handily.  The artemis ADC that I let go ADC was bad. I should have been ADC. 

Game II
I am 3rd pick, so the only bright lining here is that maybe the other team is so bad that we can win by accident.  Looks like I'm drawing Cu Chulainn as a lane opponent.  My Cerb solo gets a Sylvanus supp and a Neith mid for partners.  I like our team comp. The enemy team comp looks like it will kill early.  There's a Rat jungle, so I'll have to worry about that.

Once again, I'm playing well.  I play the early start against this Cu Chu even better than the prior starts.  The Rat is proving to be as troublesome as I'd feared, ganking me for my only death early.  The Rat goes 7-2 in the first 20 minutes. I encourage this team to stay in it, that range wont be a factor when we can teamfight and crush him.

The close early and midgame is turning heavily in favor of the other team during late.  They are just taking turns killing us, now.  Thoth and Xba are feasting at the table Rat sat for them earlier.  Its brutal.  Our jungler is pretty weak.  Ah well, you win and lose some.  The Bronze Bastard, however, loses most all of them.
