Well, my browser crashed before I could post the blog of my last couple games, but the Bronze Bastard fought his way back to top by going with an old friend, surviving a weak effort at one more pre-nerf Cu Chulain and winning my promotion game by turning in my best performance to date with a dominant 8-0-12 effort on my old love, Nike. This will be my first match after patch 5.9.
Current Rank - Silver IV (!!!) 1 TP.
Game I
After one fail from the last player in the lobby not selecting a god, I get into a game with a 4th pick Nike solo play. Looks like either Amaterasu or Xiang Tian on the enemy lane. Let's freaking do this.
This is a great match with Ama. We fight to an asbolute stalemate. I keep advantage and steal her buff several times, but that sustain just keeps her in the game. I can't use my TP for a quick advantage because I just can't kill her. I should have built more aggressively.
I get half her tower and am in full control of lane, but our Hun Batz jungle decides to DC. This team was barely good enough for 5v5, we are certainly not prepared for 4v5. RIP. Only silver lining (:)see what i did there?) to this is that losing 11 TP doesn't matter because I only had 1.
Game II
Current Rank Silver IV - 0 TP
I'm 3rd pick. I'm going Nike solo again. Let's do this.
This time I draw the rarely seen Osiris. He definitely has pressure on me early, with two kills. However, in both advances I had him so low he was forced to back and couldn't touch my tower. Unlike against Ama, I do force him back so I can take my early tactical back to get shoes and more pots.
As we continue our dance, I force a back when his TP is down. This allows me to get half his tower. About this time, the enemy jungler DCs. We end up rolling in a 4v5. Not the best way to go, but we deserve one after the last effort.
Game III
Current Rank Silver IV - 0 TP
This game is lost in the lobby when the last pick starts spamming "dont supp" "wont supp". You know its going to be one of THOSE types of games. sigh. I take Guan second planning to go solo. However, I end up having to go supp since the last pick takes Vulcan and the Ra volunteers to try solo. FML.
Yep, we lost. Duo lane took tower. Then Ra ragequit because both Vulcan and our jungler sucked. Game Over. RIP.
Game IV Silver IV
I get top ELO. Oh No, here we go. I banned out He Bo and Achilles. I take Guan solo while 2nd pick goes Xba. We have the same jerk Vulcan in our lobby this time. I decide not to say anything and just let the last game be the last game. He was 4th pick this time, so didn't have to do the "no supp" thing. He ended up getting Mid this time and takes Kukulkan. Hopefully he plays better.
I end up going into a tough Cu Chulain solo. He beats me, but not by a lot. I survive and early 2v1 from their Jungler. I get pressured, but I don't lose much ground. Eventually I am able to get the enemy tower first, through quick backs and better sustain. The other team has a rage quit. We roll to an easy victory. Maybe the next game we will get a full run.
Game V - 11 TP
I pick 3rd this game and take Artermis. Our supp takes Kuzenbo and we are going against Khepri and Xbalanque. The enemy team has He Bo. Uh Oh. RIP us, i'm guessing. But let's do this, anyway.
He Bo owns the game for a solid run. I play horribly and feed Xba early. This is no bueno. I pull off the teamfights and farm my face off against minions. By about the 28 minute, I finally even up my levels and start to be a force. We are about to lose to a left lane push to the titan, when I res and drop ult/3/2 and crushed He Bo and forced two others to flee. Wow, what a defense and save for me after a rough game. We then go and push FG and take them down.
A rough game turned into a win by finishing better than you start. I'll take that. A win for the...Silver Sucker? I gotta work on this, just in case.
Bame VI- Silver IV i24 TP
I'm last pick this time. Finally, don't have to have much pressure. I get supp, of course. Terra is there, so I take her. We have a Medusa who thought she was going solo, but was supposed to jungle. the Thor that was going to solo offers to Jungle.
This Thor is on point. I do a good job stopping the duo early, but we don't have the power to kill. There comes Thor, like a brilliant bright light. He crushed the enemy. This ends up being the best game of the day. Both teams are solid and there's no BM-ing. I end up 0-2-16, doing some great jobs with my rotations and loving Talaria Shoes.
