OK, I'm 4th pick, going Bacchus supp. In the lobby we've got one guy with open mic that is just messing up my mojo from the beginning, with sirens and other awful city noises in the background. Things don't get better when our jungle decides that's a good reason to start BM-ing in lobby.
So our enemy duo lane is Ao Kuang ADC and Sobek tank. I don't even know what to do. I end up taking 2 early deaths to the unexpected magic damage before I start in on T1 Genji to help with some magic defense. The Serqet continues to just complain. Our mid lane gets rolled. Our duo lane has a rough go. We take an early Gold Fury. We fight back and have a chance at winning, despite being dysfunctional and going against a troll team comp. Such is the life of the Bronze Bastard.
Game II Current TP - 75
And first group has someone leave at the end of draft. Gotta love it. You think they'd leave BEFORE the draft fully completes. Sigh. At least they left before the game started. Second draft, we take He Bo and Awi. The enemy answers with Bacchus and Neith. LOL. I take Terra 4th, who they also decided not to ban. Let's do THIS.
I start with my 2 for the first time instead of my 3. It helps me zone and confirm some damage, while having the same effect as my 3 when it comes to interacting with my passive. I like this feel. We fight to a pretty even stalemate against Bacchus and Neith. The Awilix play works great early, coming in with a couple nice steals on our side. We eventually get our tower pretty easily.
This game is an endurance fest. I pull off some great plays as Terra, but I also get ran over on a few that I got clearly outplayed on. I feel like I learned a lot here, and I did pick up 20 assists on the way to a 40 minute victory. We won this on the strength of good FG takes at the end. Objective control won this.
Game III Current TP - 86
Well look at this, I'm 5th pick and get solo. I seem to have either Artio or Hercules solo, so of course I'm going with my dog, Cerberus.
I literally outlevel and out play this Hercules. I get his tower. But he's Hercules. So about 15 minutes in, he just comes in and beats on my tower with 1 wave. That's literally all it takes to knock out my tower. Frustrating. I end up doing second most damage on my team. Once again, I prove that I can play solo well. This team is horrible at calling out things, the jungler is rarely seen and barely effective when he shows up. Meanwhile, the enemy He Bo is perfectly rotating to every lane when someone needs to back. No one ever loses lane because He Bo never let a lane be open. I learn something.
