played my placements and a few games after and now i'm silver 4 boyz and still losin games!

+1 =)

Downswing seems over, Gold 4 now but with Plat 5 elo. It's kinda funny I always have the feeling that my edge is bigger in Plat/High plat than in gold, people tend to follow my calls more. In lower elos everybody thinks they are the best and if they don't agree with a call they just don't do it.

Remember when Riot nerfed TP to try and not make it mandatory on every top laner? I remember. #NerfTP #makebotlanegreatagain

lol low elo games

I'm Yas mid vs Lux, easy game easy life matchup, I dumpster her so badly. 100 cs @10 mins and solo tower take at 12 mins. Top goes 0/5 and eventually just ragequits. Meanwhile I'm farming like a god taking the opponent wolves and raptors at CD(my own also) so I end up having like 300 cs at 25 mins or something. Support fails to ward baronside 4 v 5, they facecheck and all die.

So yeah np, I put the carrypants on this morning, easy 1 v 5, bam wukong ulti wait that **** was still up ?Hit by lux binding, eve ulti too, an enemy has been slain, doublekill, triplekill, quaaaaaadrrrrrraaaaakill and penta flashed over Baronwall with 100 hp, also got Baron. Easiest game of my life.

ban yasuo

Yes a decent percent of the time my teammates ban yas away from me, because they don't want another 0/13 yas on their team. Selective memory at it's best.

3) The most bs thing is the damage he does to the tower the satchel charge, one min your tower is half hp, 3 secs later poof

hit a huuuuuuuuge downswing starting a couple weeks ago where i went from getting ~25 LP per win in p3 to 0 LP in p5 and getting 17 LP per win (so my mmr was probably like mid gold). looks like it has mostly ended, though- i have now won 10 of my last 11 and am now getting 20 LP per win (not great, but still a lot better).

up to 13 of my last 14 now, my last 9 of which have been in a row.

Got 10 S's in a row on Irelia, one even included a penta.

Freelo baby

ban kat as well. but only if i plan to play her, obviously.

People who ban yas, are bitches. Easy to counter in lane, easy to counter in teamcomp.

+ 1, i have never understood the fear of it

I see him locked on the other team and insta think... oh free win

Yasuo snowballs ahead or behind both is bad unless you are playing the matchup since it will have a big impact on the outcome of the game.

That's it. I'm sick and tired of seeing Annie in my games. She's literally causing me to tilt and has no counterplay besides don't get near her. Even hecarim has more counterplay than her. From now on I'm per banning her.

"Don't go near her" as a squishy is perfectly fine counterplay imo, her range is small enough

Good vs Annie:

Long Range poke
Tanks

Bad vs Annie:

Melee
Vayne players that try to 1v1 her

I think Tibbers is a bit too strong, but it's ok.

The thing is my champion pool is

1) assassins
2) mages with semi-short range (victor/orianna/cassi)

I just can't be bothered to be able to "destroy" pre-6 because she is a sitting duck (free farm with Q though) and then have to play mega careful cause she 1-shots you post 6 without AP and me buying MR.

Sure she has counterplay and I've dodged her R before, but I simply can't be bothered to play a game, face Annie, and get 1-shot multiple times because I got close to her somehow. And if she doesn't one shot me she oneshots a team member.

Sure other champions are more annoying/broken (hecarim/vi) but I rather face those than Annie at the moment. I just don't find it fun to play against her. She takes all the play-making potential away.

BTW I don't think she's squishy like other mages. She builds ROA and has her E. Besides that why does she need tankiness when she can 1-shot any threat to her (not tanks but annie can kite those with her passive/teammates).

TL;DR I find her broken/unfun to play against even though in reality she may be OK.

Guess I have to suck it up that annie sucks cause I'm still going to ban hecarim...

Annie should not be one shotting you immediately post 6. I mean, once she gets ahead then yea she can one shot, but if she doesn't get kills she is not going to kill you 100-0 unless you are doing something very wrong like not running any MR on your runes or something like that.

I probably make loads of mistakes playing against her but I do find her annoying to play against :\

that i can definitely understand.

Ooh someone added me to flame me, I can't remember the last time that happened.

Oh my god, I just got more tilted off a single game than I have in a long time. Trundle vs Fiora top- I **** on the dude in laning phase. Solo killed him multiple times and took first tower despite getting camped by the opposing elise. Unfortunately my Viktor mid (who got first blood on a pre-minions invade) got 100% stomped by the opposing Annie, who then proceeded to roam to bot over and over. That was fine, though, because as soon as I got my tower down I started roaming too and we actually pulled the kill score about even, were up on towers, and had the only drag (an infernal) of the game. My team then gets a little dive happy and fiora falls ass backwards into a triple kill, which transforms her into an unkillable god for the rest of the game (which she ends 15-3- I think the only deaths she had were solo kills to me in the laning phase). Now, their team had an elise jungle, so between that and the megafed annie mid I chose to make spirit visage my first full tank item (I rushed tabis in lane as I almost always do vs auto attackers, but I don't really count that). My build path was Tabis > Hydra > Spirit Visage > Trinity Force, and as the game was ending I was in the process of building my Deadman's. At the very end of the game the sona says some **** about how everyone is just ignoring the opposing caitlyn and how I need to focus her, then says "trundle has no armor vs fiora". Nevermind that the first item I built in the game was tabis (or that I stomped her in lane for that matter), and never mind that despite getting no focus at all (because annie was the focus in the early and mid game, then fiora/annie in the late game) Caitlyn STILL did less damage than both Annie and Fiora. Also, they had a Braum support, so me trying to kill Caitlyn would have resulted in me waddling towards her and getting braum stunned/trapped/netted/braum ulted until I was dead without ever even actually hitting her. Jesus... what a ****ing game.
