Well, my new mic started crashing my PC into a restart loop. So that's new. Back to using a gaming mic from a certain well-known video game where people come together in a group and perform songs. So, yeah. Let's dive into the shallow end that is Saturday AM ranked.
Alright, I'm fourth pick. At least the top pressure is not going to be a factor. Everyone calls in chat what they want during planning. I don't make a call and fill as ADC. OK, let's see what happens. He Bo, Agni, and Erlang all go unbanned. I take Artemis and I'll be laning with a Fafnir. It looks like I'll be going against an Ares Rama enemy lane.
I'm going to start with Hunter's Blessing and level 1 Dev gauntlets. And some health pots. Classic ADC build. I play pretty safely early and avoid major damage. The Rama is out by himself in our lane, and both Bell and Pele decide to start red buff. Since there are 4 of us, we chase Rama and secure an early kill. Bell ports back to solo, and gets a kill against the Athena solo.
This is a great start, and we maintain the momentum most of the way. I get my T2 gloves and then push hard before I go back to finish them ahead of Rama. I have to buy some extra potions that slow my build down a bit, but they keep me alive on at least 2 occasions so I deem them worth it. Ultimately our mid takes the enemy tower first. The other team lacks coordination, and can't compete with the pressure Pele is getting everywhere. Bellona feeds big time on the enemy solo and jungle. We take Gold Fury twice and a FG twice. Great coordination, awesome work and a Saturday morning win in only 24 minutes for the Bronze Bastard.
Current Rank: Silver V - 85 TP
OK, I could potentially rank up, here. So I'll probably be top ELO with a bunch of morning trolls. Ah well, if it is then it is. I just got to keep it from bringing me down. Well, what do you know? I'm last pick. Totally no pressure here. This makes me happy to no end. Well, our less-than-smart team decided to burn all the bank time with the 2nd pick and then the 2nd ban. And our 4th pick knows he's going to be ADC because we talk it out, and yet he still can't figure out who to pick after 20 seconds. And so we are back to queue. With people that are paying so little attention, I have to say I'm happy to be out of that group.
Game II - Take II
Let's see what the Smite gods send me, this time. I'm 2nd pick. Our top ELO goes Athena, and 3rd and 4th pick both want to go solo. I think Artemis is good with Athena, so I just decide to double down on ADC Artemis this morning. Let's see if we can get through the lobby. And if we do, let's see if we can do this. Nope, a bunch of idiots and we are back to queue again. This is ridiculous.
Game II - Take III
I'm 2nd pick this time. Good news, none of the prior lobby people are in this lobby. The first round of picks and bans goes quickly. I have hopes we could actually play a game, this time. I'm taking Sylvanus with Ullr against AMC and Athena/Guan. The other team has Pele, Athena, Ra...I'm not liking the look of this.
I think the best build for me is usually Thebes second, if I don't get behind. I also like going Stone of Binding second, if we get an early kill. Let's see which I do here. OOF, their Athena has 10 stars, lol. Guess she gonna do what she do. Let's do this!!!!
Well, no promotion for me. Nu Wa mid was one of the worst players I've seen. She wen 0-7-3. Typed the whole game. Had excuse after excuse for being bad. Baka let the enemy Pele run wild. We get routed hard, the solo lane goes down early. Duo lane played well this game, but solo mid and jungle all had a rough go. We lose. I waited through 3 lobbies for that shit game.
