Tales of a Bronze Bastard LVII

Current Rank-- Silver V: TP 98

I'm the #1 Silver V in the land, with a Fall split record of 18-19.  I gotta win this game.  Saturday morning Smite, after a series of fairly good casual games in multiple roles.  Has to be OK, right?  I'm 3rd pick, this works for me.  It takes our top pick 45 seconds to decide on Arachne.  We have 14 seconds of bank time left.  Our 2nd pick takes Scylla Mid and I grab Sylvanus for Support.  Hello, old friend.  Top ELO lets bank go to 4 while deciding the last ban.  Our last pick fails to select someone before bank time expires.  What a group to miss a ranked game with.

I took a chance and stayed in queue with a 5 minute wait.  I take it as a good sign that no one from the last lobby is in this one.  I'm 4th pick.   No pressure, I'll just go with what the comp hands me.  Standard bans of Baron, Cherno, Pele, and Freya.  The other team first-picks Merc.  Our Top ELO goes Erlang.  Our 2nd pick goes Rat jungle.  The enemies take Agni and Bellona.  Our last pick before second round of bans is Discordia.  Bans: Athena, Geb, Ullr, Terra.  I take Sylvanus, why not? The other team rounds out with Nu Wa and Sobek.  What kind of team comp is that?  I guess Nu Wa ADC with Sobek?

I am going with Guardian's Blessing, T1 boots, and Shell.  5 Health pots and 1 Multi.  Our Rat is a troll, refusing to help anyone.  And to make it worse, he starts talking BM to everyone in the game.  And that's pretty much how it goes, we get owned by a better team and Rat just makes it worse by being a complete pain.  A loss, go figure.
