Another game that shows why you shouldn't be so quick at getting demoralized and calling gg ten minutes in. Things were going pretty badly. We got ganked a lot in bot lane and enemy jungler Lee Sin was getting kills very fast. A few bad positionings from all of us led to the game looking pretty grim. But then we started playing better in bot lane. I made an effort to notice when Lee Sin was in another lane and tried to make those moments count, and our jungler Nunu tried to stay near bot more. Two or three times both the junglers and the mid players came to bot, making our lane the big rumble area. Slowly but surely, we won engagements. It took awhile, but we learned to stay together as a team. After we managed to get a baron buff (though it was rather intense as at least three enemy players gathered around the baron pit, looking for a chance to steal it), we quickly retreated, regrouped and made the final push. I managed to jump right into and use my ulti on at least three members on the enemy team (and they started focusing me, which was the best thing they could have done for us) and that led to the end of the game. The negative thing with this game, besides the beginning, was that I stole five kills. I picked up a double kill when Graves and I had a really close duel with enemy Ezreal and Taric (I just used everything I had to keep my adc alive, I didn't have time to let him get kills) and then I got three more kills during team fights. It's a bit hard to avoid doing that with Leona, seeing as the damage component of her W is delayed, but I think what I can attempt to better myself at is to get a better feel of when I need to use everything to stop an enemy from getting away or scoring a kill and when there just isn't a chance for him/her to do so.

It is so nice to be on the team that turns a game every now and again. This really did look like a lost thing. I got counter picked by Zed, who dominated me in lane and then went on an insane killing spree, I think he was 15/1 at some point. Our team fights didn't go much better either, our focus was rather poor and we kept getting cauht off guard. Then, we did manage to take one sneaky baron, and suddenly it was as if everything had changed. The baron buff, plus Zhonya's Hourglass on me which took a long time to get because I was so far behind, plus some new team morale caused us to suddenly win fight after fight. We were still technically weaker than them, so we couldn't push for long after winning the fights, but we didn't need to hurry with the pushing because we jsut kept winning. We managed to sneak in another baron kill some time later and kept going. There was a really intense moment which was the next to last team fight, which we actually lost. I thought for sure it was over, but we had super minions in their base at that point, so they couldn't finish the match. During our respawining time, enemy Nautilus somehow got executed by our inhibitor turret. As soon as we respawned, we took the chance and rushed for their nexus turrets. We picked them off slowly, only scoring the ace seconds before one of them respawned again, but that was all we needed. Their nexus went down and I just realised how sweaty I was. A nice win that I really think we deserved.

This was my first game as support after buying a new rune page and some gold per 10 quints. It helped, but the extra money wasn't enough when our focus was so poor. The laning phase was okay, but after a few failed engagements enemy Ezreal and Nasus were too strong.

A nice game that I think could have been turned around by the enemy team, but that never happened. Renekton and enemy Nasus were very even and the players in bot lane traded a few kills back and forth. Teemo in mid really dominated enemy Kha'Zix, I never actually had to gank mid lane except for one or two counter ganks when enemy Warwick appeared. I ganked top a few times, which was actually hard, either we only forced a flash or we traded a kill on Nasus for a kill on me. But it all worked out, and our teamfights went great in four out of five times, which is enough.

It seemed like this was going to be a close game but ultimately in our favor. The laning phase went great, enemy Caitlyn got first blood but our Graves killed her not too long after. After that, our team got some kills without the enemy team getting any. Then, the teamfights started, and I don't know what happened. We just couldn't compete. Our Graves was often caught off guard and I couldn't really save any teammates.

Just another bad game. Cho'Gath got ganked multiple times and we didn't do great in bot lane. Our engagements were always close, but never enough. After two failed battles we tried to play more passivly, but the farm and kills on enemy Caitlyn was showing in unpleasant ways. We did have a few nice team engagemants that I think showed promise of a turn-around, but unfortunately it didn't happen.

Well, I got counter picked. I couldn't really do anything against Renekton, he could close gaps and burst me really well. The other lanes didn't do much better than me, and we had a hard time organizing our ganks with our jungler. Simply put, the other team was better than us.

We had a Sona going mid this game, which I thought was interesting. It really worked, as she outplayed her lane opponent Orianna quite nicely. I had a nice and passive laning phase against Nasus where we traded quite evenly and I managed to farm just a bit better than him. Neither of us got ganked by the junglers, though. Maybe they thought our lane was so even that it didn't needed to be ganked, which I question. Nasus lost the lane entirely though when our Sona ganked him and I managed one 1v1 kill with my Feast. Bot lane had some troubles at the beginning, but enemy Tristana couldn't carry her team even though she was better than our Varus in the early game. I really liked our jungler this game, as she did some very nice dive engagements underneath turrets that really payed off.

A really intense and fun to play match. Everything was very even. Kills got traded all around, if one team scored a kill then the other one did a minute after. We did lose bot lane by a little bit, enemy Draven farmed a bit better than Caitlyn and enemy Amumu was a really good jungler, ganking us two or three times from a new location every time. The teamfights were very even too, but we managed to take dragon a few more times, giving us a gold lead (I think) and also one Baron. Eventually, we managed to edge them out. One moment I have to mention that was truly hilarious was when enemy Draven and Viktor were doing baron by themselves. It was late in the game, so they had no problem doing it. I warded right as baron hit about 5% hp, my team was nowhere near me, and I thought to myself: "Screw it." I pressed my Eclipse ability, jumped in on Draven, ran for baron... and my Eclipse popped off and killed it! Then of course I was killed, but the rest of my teammates now had the buff. It was really hilarious and one of the best moments from playing as Leona for me.

We got ganked early on, but it didn't matter too much. We were able to stay pretty safely and passivly in bot lane but managed a good kill and set-up to kill once or twice. I screwed up my positioning a few times. Enemy Akali did get a little bit dangerous late game, but we were able to finish it when we caught her right after getting baron.

I'm not really sure what to say about this game. I did okay, but enemy Kha'Zix got fed and enemy Jarvan was good too. Our team just wasn't as good as theirs. Enemy Kennen "should" have died a few times more though, he often escped with very little hp.

A pretty nice game. Enemy Caitlyn was much better at farming than me, I'll gladly give her that, but at least I managed to not die until teamfights started. Our Zac was completely insane though, and gladly took over the job as carry from me. In the end, I played this one well enough, I think. ADC is still something I need to work on in the future, and from this game especially the farming, but I did okay this time.

The most intense and even game I've had in ranked yet. As you can see, the kills ended up exactly even on both sides. I dominated my lane against Riven, something I think I really shouldn't be able to do, and I was a huge influence in team fights. I enabled so much with my Reptures, it went really well. But then came that one final push from the other team. Our ADC got caught out, we all panicked and three of us got killed. Me and our jungler, who was the two who survived, was powerful but couldn't do anything against their entire team. It came down to me as a carry versus enemy Varus as a carry. Obviously, he'll win. A really good game, but I'm a bit frustrated that we lost it.

Well played by both teams in the laning phase, not so well played by us during team fights. What seemed like a sure thing at first was definitely turned by the enemy team. I feel like my supporting in this game was pretty good though, so I'm happy about my general play. There were two or three times were I really think we could have turned it back, such as a moment were the Pantheon ult and my ult just clicked perfectly. Sadly, at that point, some of us had started to half-heartedly retreat and so it didn't turn out well enough.

I just couldn't get near the minions. Thresh and Vayne were always ready to wreck my sh*t if I ever got close enough for them to do so. Vayne said she was a smurf with a main account in Diamond V, though, so I don't really know. Maybe Ashe was a stupid pick against a Vayne, but as I've mentioned before, ADC is my worst role and Ashe is the one I feel safest as. It didn't work out this time, though, but that happens.

The first time in ranked I actually did a strategic counter pick. Or at least, that's what my teammates told me, hehe. They wanted me to go Malphite against Jax, and it worked out. Until level 6, he was so afraid to go near me that I stayed ahead of him in farm for the rest of the game. Once both of us got our ults, we started trading alot more and were very even. He might have been slightly better than me at that point, actually, but my jungler ganked more than his and our premade bot players rocked their lane. In the end, it all went down for the other team. I have to say, I'm proud of a few of my ults that worked as really nice engagement openings.

This enemy Singed is crazy, man! CRAZY! Okay, wow. I don't know how he got away with this. He was farming in our base. And yeah, he got executed and killed. But that farm really came back to bite us later. He was just so strong. And while our top got well enough farm too, our mid did okay and our jungler scored some kills, bot lane didn't go so well. I'm starting to realize I'm not that good as support. Unlike many people, I like playing the role, but my win/loss rating as support is starting to speak for itself. That's just something I need to improve on, I guess.

A nice game where every lane went well, but no so much that it felt as a steamroll. There were still some hurdles here and there. A moment that was just really funny was me and enemy Jungler just dancing around near mid lane, going back and forth for a good minute or so. It was for my benefit though, as it wasted his red buff (while I had no buffs).

A very exciting game with fights that could've turned the whole situation all throughout the entire match. My laning phase against Twisted Fate was okay, not that much to complain on. He managed to edged me out at the beginning, but once my Tormented Soil hit level three I was at least able to keep up and make sure he didn't get any further ahead of me. Really fun team fights and kills happening pretty much everywhere all the time.

Haha! My losing streak wasn't as long as my winning streak! Anyway, this game was really fun. Rumble was a very formidable laning enemy, and he managed to stay just a few minions above me the entire laning phase. Our Jungler was better than theirs, though (I got ganked more by their mid player than jungler) and in the end they just couldn't compete with us in the teamfights. It was intense for a while though. Bot lane had a pretty rough laning phase. Enemy team surrendered.

It started even and very intense. Bot lane was passive while kills were being traded all across the other lanes. A few failed engagements on our part in bot unfortunately led to enemy Varus getting slightly ahead, which he then used as a starting patform to going hyper carry. Varus was just very good at his Q too, they were very hard to juke.

It started out bad. Enemy jungler was really good and got nice ganks on both mid and bot lane. As the team fights started happening, I saw some hope. We were doing okay, but often got greedy and chased too long. On top of that, our Vayne constantly wanted to farm, often being absent from engagements. Eventually, the enemy team got a few too many good team fights together and managed to take us out.

Kudos to the enemy team, they really turned this one around. I managed to lane really well against Kha'Zix. He had better poke than me, but I had better farm and that coupled with my passive helped me stay in lane. My team even had a 4v5, without me, which they won by far. Then, the 5v5s started, and they just outplayed us. Enemy Kayle was really good with her ult and Kha'Zix and Caitlyn was too dangerous. It makes me a little frustrated since we owned them at first, but in the end they were just better than us.

I hate when ADCs say "Let's play super aggresive". Those are the games I lose as support. Even with Leona, I don't like playing aggresively. When you are not on skype with your lane partner, it's really hard to communicate about engagements. And when your partner wants to engage alot, that's many opportunities for failed communication. I failed alot on my own too, often being in locations I definitely shouldn't have been in. We had a few good engagements, but in the end we couldn't compete with a fed enemy Varus and Udyr.

The laning phase was very even and constantly dangerous. Blitzcrank's hooks are dangerous and LeBlanc edged out Fizz enough to have time to come to bot alot. Luckily my ward coverage was enough. We won pretty much every single team fight though, largely thanks to my ult. It was only when they tried to focus me that the fights got more even, but still not enough for them.
