Tales of a Bronze Bastard L

Current Rank: Silver V - 62 TP

OK, last time out I had 3 straight did-not-select-in-lobby that wasted 30 minutes of my precious time.  Please god, let me just get into a game that actually happens.  And I'm top pick.  Sigh.  Baron, Freya, Cherno, He Bo.  I take Sylvanus first, the enemy takes Ao Kuang.  I feel like I'm about to get stomped.  I get Rama as my partner.  We've got an Athena/Ullr pair playing into us.  Let's do this.

I had a hard time starting out with this Rama. He doesn't press when I expect, and he wants to push when I want to retreat.  Also, he's kind of toxic.  Not radioactive, but not a healthy bit, either.  I end up 0-5 and down a few levels.  I get BM-ed.  I BM back, but I don't press it.  Luckily, it ends up being one of those one-time affairs.  The Rama makes it clear he wants lane to himself, so I start rotating way earlier than I normally would.

This game is full of early-and-often rotations.  I have to start farming jungle because I am waaaay behind.  I build out CD Boots, Lotus crown, and Stone of Binding to start.  I finish with Rod of Aescelpius, Pythag's Piece, and Heartward because Agni is bombing us all. 

I actually learn a lot of things this game: how to ignore trash talk, how to focus and catch up, how to coordinate with a team showing different calls. I finish 0-6-14, just north of 0 KDA and feel good about getting a win for the Bronze Bastard.
