It's really obvious ADC is my worst role, because while I sometimes need to think about what I need to learn in other roles, it's always crystal clear when playing ADC. This was a great game. Me and Thresh had a very smooth laning phase with few obstacles. Dodging enemy Caitlyn and Zyra's skillshots weren't too hard, and I don't really think Caitlyn utilised her superior range. The short range is always a scary part when playing Corki, and while it didn't show in lane, it was a pretty big problem in team fights. I think I learned some pretty major things about positioning since last game, since I was in much better spots this time. But some damage will always slip through, and I got taken down to low HP pretty often. When that happened, I had to flee from the heat of the battle (I used my jump ability as a re-positioning tool this time, rather than as an initiator, which worked much better), but then I wasn't able to participate as much as I wanted to, even though I was fed. This game actually came close to being lost one or two times thanks to that. So even though I played much better than last game, I still need to work on my positioning and how I can be as useful as I can to my team.

A fun game with lots of turns and twists. Not much to say, other than that I really need to work on my positioning as ADC, and especialy as Corki. He's really fun to play, but his short range makes him hard to position right in a team fight. The match went back and forth a bit, but in the end we lost a crucial team fight and the enemy team was able to finish with two surviving players.

We got dominated in bot lane... not really sure what happened. Enemy Miss Fortune had better range and damage than Tristana and once enemy MF and Sona hit level 6 it got way too dangerous. The teamfights didn't go much better, but we did actually see the hope in this one. We had one teamfight which we one and the very last one was close. The enemy team finished the game with three people on very low health, so as it usually is it was a focus problem.

Not much to say. Enemy team had way better map control and ganked bot lane alot. We had a hard time coordinating ganks with our jungler and the pressure we'd been put through in bot lane built up in the end. The enemy team also combo'd their ultis very well, so I have to applaude them on that part.

Bot lane was pretty rough in the beginning, as enemy Caitlyn was stronger than Twitch right off the bat. The enemy bot laners were also very good at baiting me into ganks, which I give them kudos for. The other lanes had more or less of a cakewalk though, and it looked like this was going to be a curbstomp from our team. It wasn't quite that, we derped a few team fights and had some bad focus, but in the end we managed to catch them off guard in a nice engagement.

A nice game to start off Silver III. It looked a bit dark in the beginning, enemy Trundle had way better early game than our Renekton, Nidalee had a pretty rough time against enemy Ahri and I made some pretty bad calls in bot lane. I used my combo on enemy Taric more than once, thinking that "he's closest and the easiest target right now", when of course that was the wrong move, I should've gone for enemy Varus. Overall, the other team had a better laning phase than us. We did manage to turn it around though, but I'm not sure exactly how. We just managed to get better teamfights. The other team was still a threat, and occasionally they turned a fight on us really well, but mostly we did fine. This game was great for two reasons: One; it showed me why I should always focus the enemy ADC, as we were punished for me not doing so. Two; I realised I have been getting better at something I've struggled with a really long time as support: To use my active items! As embarrissing as it, since they are so crucial for support, I often forget I have them. This match though, I remembered them in about eight or nine out of ten fights, which is a huge improvement for me. This gives me hope that my practice in this game is bearing fruit.

Promotion: Silver III

As with any good series final, it came down to the last chance. Since I won two out of three promotional matches, I'm now in Silver III. I have to say, writing a log like this actually have helped me to reflect over my playstyle more than when I don't write about my games. Well, there's still much to learn and many divions to climb. Onward to Silver II!
