Tales of a Bronze Bastard LXII

Current Rank: Silver II - 16 TP I'm second pick. Cherno gets through bans and 3 other picks, so I take him. I've got Athena as a partner against Neith and Xing Tian. Let's do this. We have super mobility here, so I need to remember to use my ult if we get any kind of advantage or someone is in hard trouble. Wards are extra important on this one. Their Xing DCs. I feel no mercy and just collapse on the Neith. We pressure her hard and take her buff. Our whole team proceeds to go on a rampage. Xing comes back at 4:50 and buys an item. Then, DCs again. They surrender at 10:15, as we already have an 11-2 lead. Game II Current Rank: Silver II - 25 TP I'm last pick, with one of the guys from last game in this one. I end up taking Artio support with a Neith ADC against Ganesha and Medusa. I'm going to get shell since both Neith and I have escapes. I am starting to really like Artio. I am able to really get into people's face. I am able to mess up Ganesha and Medusa on multiple occassions with my cripple + stun. I get Stone of Binding after finishing my boots, because our team is up to an early 3-0 lead. We continue to press the advantage. We ward well, I rotate often. We get good pressure and sustain it. After 25 minutes, I go 1-3-16 and we call it a win for the Bronze Bastard. Game III Current Rank: Silver II - 36 TP I am 4th pick waiting...and someone on the other side lobby dodges. 8 more minutes. Fun times. Take 2: I'm top pick. I take Cherno and trade it to our third pick, who grabs me Artio to join him in duo. We'll be going against Baron and Iza support. This is my first game against Baron in ranked as supp. I need to prioritize Pestilence. We get early pressure, as expected. We get kills on both duos, and perform the requisite purple steal. I go back to finish my boots quickly and decide to go Tank boots. We push the tower hard, and I go get the T1 towards Pesti. We get a decent advantage and then they have a DC. We get two towers, and then their DC comes back. Now, our Susano Jungle DCs. He comes back, but we get beat because he feeds 16 times. Sigh. I knew a winning streak was too good to be true.
