The Bronze Bastard - Summer Split VI

Game 1 - Joust - Current Rank Bronze IV - 0 TP

This is my first match after completing qaulis with my good friend.  I went 3-7 and ranked pretty low.  Good news is...this allows me to still be the Bronze Bastard!!!

I decide to queue up and see if anyone is playing some ranked Joust this morning.  They let Achilles through, so I decide to try him out.  Not sure how he'll play in joust, but hey...it's just joust, right?  Looks like the enemy has picked Cu Chu.  Interesting.

We're playing against a 3-man premade Cu Chu, Medusa, Agni.  It is 0-16 at 7 minutes.  I hope they kill our titan before 10 minutes is up. 8:39.  woohoo! Feels bad man

Game 2 - Conquest - Current Rank Silver V - 3 TP

Almost 7 minutes to queue.  This team is super disorganized.  I want solo, but the 4th pick calls it and the 5th pick says he won't supp for this ADC.  So I pick Artio as a flex option.  Eventually it works out that the guy who wanted to solo will end up going Jungle and the 5th that didn't want to supp is going to supp anyway. Now I get to go Artio Solo for the first time ever.  Yay.  And with our group comp, they'll see it coming.  I'm up against either Cerb or Aphro.  Mag Defense item it is.

I start with blessing, 4 health pots, TP, and T1 Void Ston e for the MP and Magical prots.  And the solo ends up being Loki.  I've made a crucial error in gear.  Despite fighting Loki to a standstill early, I never recover from this mistake.  About 8 minutes, he gets my tower despite me being even with levels and not dying at all.  Loki just does so much damage that he can kill the tower so fast.  The whole team loses.  Our Jungler is the only one of any noteworthy impact. We lost this in the lobby, we were BMing each other before we'd even finished picking our gods.  Things didn't get any better.

Game 3 - Conquest - Current Rank Silver V - 0 TP

I'm going to try Cu Chu solo.  Oh cool, from the border around my avatar, I must have made gold on the leaderboard. At least there is that.

For the second game in a row, I get owned by Loki solo.  ouch.
