Current Rank: Silver II - 0 TP
2-and-a-half queue for a Friday evening. So this will probably end badly. But what the hell, let's give it a go! And I'm top pick. Uh oh. I am first pick, so we ban out Cherno, He Bo, Freya, and Baron. I take Merc to trade with our 3rd pick. Our 2nd pick takes Kukulkan. I'm going to go either Supp/solo, depending on how the team shakes out. Our last pick takes Xing Tian supp, so I'm going to take Artio solo into Erlang. I feel good about that. Let's do this!
I start with T1 boots and Magi's Blessing. Today, I'm going with Fineokay's build guide for magical characters on 5.18. I back early for T2 boots and immediately TP back. Erlang is rushing Berserker's shield, so I'm going to have my hands full. He's not quite getting the pressure on me, he's pushing minions to my tower and then backing. I note this and run back to get my full boots, knowing my TP is still down.
The gamble pays off, and I get back to lane with only a fifth of my tower damaged. I know have full boots, and am running around Erlang. Merc ganks and we get a kill. I start pushing his tower, then back to get T1 Breastplate. My TP is back up, so my gamble to back multiple times early pays off. At this point, Erlang gets tired of matching me and decides to go to the middle. I am able to take tower, and from there I am able to rotate.
We have a very toxic player being all manner of racist and anti-Semitic in chat, and our Merc is just handling it well by trolling him back. I maintain my cool and stick to doing my job, but I definitely plan to report this jerk. I get my Breastplate finished, then go Void Stone. I'm able to really wail on people with my druid abilities.
I finish out the build with Hide of the Urchin, Spirit Robe, and Stone of Gaia. We lead most of the game and everyone on the team finishes with a positive KDA. I'm 3-4-16 with 12 wards placed. Not bad, for the Bronze Bastard. Its almost as satisfying as when I report the Kukulkan.
