The Bronze Bastard Plays Joust

Summer Split Joust Qaulifiers - Game 1

I pick Achilles because he is meta good right now.  Problem, I haven't played enough Achilles to actually do this.  I make some good plays early.  However, by minute 8-9 it becomes apparent that I'm not mechanically used to playing this god.  I get caught out of position a couple of times. Then, I just start losing levels.  I miss my ult.  I see the right time to use it, I either don't react quickly enough or I mechanically fail to execute the move. 


Game 2

I pick Izanami.  I feel good about this.  Then, I leave to go get the pizza out of the oven and miss the first 2.5 minutes of the game.  I am behind.  I never recover.  The mistakes of a bronze bastard...


I decide to play a Ranked Duel while waiting on a friend.

I ban out Loki to troll, then get rid of a series of high early pressure gods.  I end up picking Sun Wukong.  My opponent goes with Hel.  Spicy.  I like it. 

This is definitely going to take a while.  She gets the clear because I decide to rush a pestilence.  Bad move.  Worse move was taking Warrior's blessing second item instead of boots.  I get a level behind, and eventually lose a tower.  I pick up a Runic Shield and then Jotun's.  Next I add Brawler's.  I eventually get her tower.  We're 20 minutes in before anyone dies.  It's me.

Over the course of the next 9 minutes, I replace Pesti with Genji's.  I replace the blessing with Crusher, and it's on.  I get my first kill and return the troll VEL he through at me earlier.  I get up to her phoenix, but it costs me way too much health and I can't push.  I go back, but Hel has had enough.  She F6's.  The Bronze Bastard wins his first Duel
