Well, yesterday was quite a grind. I start this morning out with 2 Do Not Accept match players. Hope that filtered everyone out, and this third one is the charm. I'm 3rd pick. I end up taking Artemis for the duo, against Xba and Terra. My last run with Artemis was not the best, but I learned last time that I need to be very cautious of the jungle and patient against a very mobile Xba. At least this time, we don't let He Bo through. My lane partner will be Kumbha. Aight, let's do this.
Oh my, I have horrible lag jumps. My ping is fine, but every 15 or 20 seconds I get a huge jump forward. I ask my girlfriend to take pandora off the network and things get better. I'm 2 levels back, though. And the team is unhappy with me. They are not BM-ing too much, so I just stay focused on trying to make the comeback.
I overextend some early while farming, and learn the importance of only pushing the wave .5 to .75 towards the tower. I keep my back corner of the jungle warded and farm my face off on the side minions and back harpies and buffs. I grab the middle minions a couple of times when our Scylla is back. I eventually work my way to relevance. The enemy team has come to dismiss me from my poor early game, and my Tusky wins us to big team fights in the jungle that strongly swing momentum in our favor. I help us clean up a Fire Giant. I destroy the Gold Fury. I'm a tower crushing machine, making up for my early game impotence. The Bronze Bastard works back from adversity and gets the win. I'm now 25-24 in ranked Conquest. The Bronze Bastard is above .500!
Game II Silver IV TP 48
OK I'm 4th pick and will be going Solo. I like solo from this spot because I can hopefully pick against my enemy, assuming he isn't the one to pick after me. They take Cerberus second, but no other frontliner so I still don't know for sure who is going solo. And a lobby-leaver pushes us back to queue. A do not accept gives us a third attempt. Three's a charm! Negative, we are going to 4th attempt.
I'm last pick, this time around. Let's see if we can make it to a game. *crosses arms. nope, let's try number 5. literally. I'm 4th pick. My guess is this match doesn't happen. Wow. We made it all the way through picks and bans, I am impressed. I'm Terra with an Iza against Athena and an X-1 star Xba.
Ok so the toxic Aphro ruins this game. I don't even want to talk about this game.
