Well so far I'm 1/3

Considering I went 2/8 last season, I am currently going strong to possible beat my placement records

I'm currently 1/0. For a little while it was a 3v5 in their favor, but once nasus and morg came back we shut them down hard. But i'm not dealing with connection issues AND tryhards for the first few days. Maybe next month.

I lost all 3 of my placement matches so far (one because my ADC picked me Leona support even though I never asked him to do that, and the other 2 because someone in the enemy team got irrationally fed and when *I* am the most competent person in the team, you know there's no hope of winning).

I might just give it a week or two.

I'm 1/2 right now, last time my record was shite and I went down only one rank, so going from plat 5 to Gold 1 would suck, but it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Lost my first game.

I'm confident though, cause I kept an incredibly level head that entire game despite a less than competent ADC, a feeder, and general blame training. It never once got to me, so i feel confident in my ability to weather that stuff.

My own play wasn't perfect, but I made several great calls and plays with Leona--a champ I've barely touched recently. Playing un-camera-locked didn't hurt me. And it was a close game, so hey.

Currently I'm 2 for 6 because basically all the people I get matched in my preliminaries are all Bronze V scrubs

Literally couldn't even finish 2 games. Lost the first because one guy decides to feed mid with TF just cuz he didn't get jungle. Newsflash, buddy: We had the "pick order/call order" debate about a year ago. You lost. Put on your big boy pants and DEAL WITH IT. Silver lining was the Ezreal I supported was pretty cool, and us along with our Skarner had a pretty good kill squad running (me on Leona). But a fed enemy Diana is...well...a fed enemy Diana.

Second game I just simply had to dodge once some jabronie locks in Morgana jungle. Unless your name is Sky Williams, I'm not letting you ruin my game so you can troll jungle.

So at the moment, I'm 0-1. Prob gonna finish the rest this weekend.

Meh.
I could be doing better.
My first game was still my best, putting the pressure on the map. While as Janna and Sivir I wasn't doing as much, doing a bronze 5 runaround as sivir and not getting my skills down pat as Janna. I probably shouldn't play Janna again in these placements. Stick to Nami as my first pick support.

Still didn't do BAD either game, but I was a non-presence as Janna, only saving a handful of deaths in a team that desperately needed some engage, and beating out Zed as our DPS in the sivir game, though Zed of course got the kills cause he's more mobile and can cleanup after I weaken them.

1-1 So far. Apparently my games hinge on whether or not I get Akali, and with a 39% ban rate (seriously, its that time of the year again. Feels like everyone hates Akali as February arrives.), this will be tough.

Ok, someone explain to me why Akali is getting banned again, otherwise I will conclude that its just because its almost February.

EDIT: 2-2. 2-0 as Akali.

Akali's OP in the current meta,


to clarify, as of right now the requirements to succeed in today's meta: Meet any one of them and your in

DOn't use mana

Naturally build Tear/Catalyst

Be Orianna



basically, pretty much all mages got hit hard by mana changes, but Zed and Akali not so much

I'm sorry Konata (Even though pretty much everyone knows who you are :P) But Akali might as well be resourceless

Update: 1/5

Game 4 was a jarvan jungle game. I suck at jungle, but I didn't do half bad. Well, okay. I made one major misstep: I didn't gank top enough to stop the tryndamere. Trynda won them the game.

Draft 5 had severe miscommunication, 2 supports, and no ADC, and toxicity.
I regret dodging that queue. i didn't want to waste the 20 minutes, but now I wanted to play that Leona Blitz bot.

Game 6 I picked braum to give a divey team some peel. I don't know why. I suck at Braum. Suuuuuuck at Braum.
One 3/1/35 game later (70ish% kill participation there and only 1 death out of a total of 22) I had the first braum game I didn't suck in and my first win.

Following my post pattern (1 game, 2 games later, 3 games later) my next post will be my end result. Here's to 4 wins.

Went 5-5 in the placements, hit Gold 2. Ended up being in promos about 4 games later, so yea. I'm currently getting around 30lp per win, so I think the climb so far is easy. Now to just find time to play my promo..

Finally:
5/5
So the draft dodge didn't count.
Had a bad sivir game to bring it up one loss.
Won the rest and felt useful in every game.

Bronze IV
I'm ready to win lanes.
Edit: getting 29 LP on my first game.

Wow everyone who WAS silver is in bronze IV

I was in Bronze IV. I wonder if I'll make it to the secret Wood Tier.

I mean getting Bronze V would be anticlimactic. Been there, climbed out of that.

30 lp per win, are you serious? When I was trying to climb last season I got, on average, 16 lp per win and would lose 26 lp per loss. I think Rito hates me :(
