    Graves is still an ADC, he just happens to jungle while doing so. Finished up my placements way earlier in the season than I planned to. 7-3 solo for Gold V and 5-5 Flex for Silver III. Flex games were AIDS.

    Finally pushed through my ladder anxiety and finished off my placements in a string of 4 support games, after accidentally hitting ranked a couple of weeks ago. Landed in Gold IV with a 5:5 record, no need to climb out for my Maokai skin :D Plat's within reasonable reach given that I've been matched against Vs and IIIs but whatever. Pretty satisfied with how I played in most of them aside from a disastrous Alistar performance. Outdamaged Cait and Jayce in the loss with Zyra, and the...

    Decided to play out my series one more time, must be the 5th or 6th attempt now. Two games of full retard. First one with Brand calling ADC 4th pick after bot lane was done, so I picked Ryze top. Stupid shit happens and their Malphite decides to give a free kill every other 5 mins but ultimately wins because their Kindred got stupidly fed, 10-2 by 15 mins and not slowing down. Second game was with a Heimerdinger "support" who didn't buy sightstone. Win lane anyway, rotate mid, lose...

    Welcome to Solo queue- common sense and intelligent drafting discouraged. Odds are you will end up on that kind of team at some point.

    Another series down the drain. Now I'm losing every other game and not getting back to 100LP after the loss. Took a gander at op.gg and got mighty pissed at being matched against Plat Vs on the regular while I deal with stupid chickenshit like Singed into Irelia and Nasus mid vs Ahri. Couple more weeks to get out of Gold 4 and I'm tilted as fuck.

    Played a series twice today. Jinx loss, Elise win, Janna loss. First game: Velkoz support fucks me up hard by poking from the brush and shoving the wave, preventing me from cs. Also, first game vs Kindred jungle, shit's fucking cancer. Also, Ekko top vs Riven and a Viktor who constantly runs up to Lux et al for a Q instead of a laser, dying almost instantly every time. Second game: Veigar scales and eventually one-shots Leblanc, early gank bot sets Lucian ahead and he gets quadra...

    Getting carried is indeed fun. Earning the game on a non carry, even better. Played my series on a weekend despite swearing to never do that because of the kiddies. G1 won as Janna. Our Tahm Kench jungle gets killed after red by the enemy Morg and we give up some kills across the board, but enemy team throws too: Morg dies faildiving and gives me gold, and later on TK gets an incredible Baron steal which swings the game our way. Our carries carry hard and I call shots to rotate, group...

    Finished my placements 3-7 for Silver I. The games I won were as Elise due to Renekton shitting on Riven from lvl 1 and hard carrying from top, as Ashe with jungle Evelynn shitting on all the lanes and hard carrying 18-1, and a Janna game supporting an Urgot new to ranked. We had Skarner. Most of the games I lost were supporting dismal ADCs or failing at carry from top. One jungle Elise game I got a lot of kills early but didn't build full damage and got outpowered by the enemy Nidalee...

    One day and five hours before LP decay started. 4th pick Jax into a first pick Riven who doesn't load for the first five or so minutes, but my client crashes at 99%. I get into lane on time though, and their jungle Elise covers with double buffs, killing me for an early second blood. Level advantage and slight item advantage lets me kill Riven 1v2 under tower, then I splitpush the rest of the game as per usual. Huzzah, 1 game win streak out of 5 LP.

    Carried bot lane by beating the shit out of Sona/Ashe with Zyra plants and setting up double kills all day, only dying once in the first 10 mins to Zac gank+arrow+crescendo. Elise feeds the shit out of Nasus top, misses the dumbest stuns and requests a lane swap, then proceeds to get caught 1v3 when I left everything bot warded. Comp explodes when we take dragon, Elise doesn't stop feeding until the game ends with her 0/10, Cait rages the whole time, Steel Legion Lux fucks up our Ahri...

    1. Play first time Kassadin. Give up first blood to J4 Ahri gank, get carried by super Nasus who 1v2s all day and be useful picking off squishies, disrupting teamfights and ganking with teleport. 2. Keep even with Jax vs Nasus but lose because he hits 6 first and Shaco fucks up mid severely with an early gank. Trade decently, fall behind because he picks up assists in our jungle, lose game, teammates flame each other. 3. Same adc from last game goes jungle, first pick is Kog who gets...

    Parts 2 and 3 of series? Win lane but lose game because mid zed dropped for the first 5 minutes and his tower basically died before he got back, and some full retard throws. Second game, Jayce into Wukong again, and again I get my shit kicked in. Only lane that doesn't lose terribly is smurfing bot. At 90 LP, queued again despite being quite on tilt after the horribad way I played as Jayce and went Cait for some shenanigans. Silly stupid shit like enemy Nidalee top giving up first blood,...

    Lulu <3. I carried myself out of Silver playing almost exclusively support. It doesn't matter if the ADC you're paired with can't hit 90 cs at 10 minutes, odds are more than likely that the enemy AD is just as (un)skilled. Zone the enemy, make them miss more cs than your ADC, and set up kills with CC. By all means take cs that your lanemate misses or simply cannot get, but actively farming the feet under them pisses them off and ruins the chemistry or destroys their morale because you...

    Lost one, won one, both with Silver 1s finishing out their promo series by duoing with gold friends. First pick so I took Thresh with a Draven who actually did quite well. Lvl 1 fight when enemy tried to invade around my wards ends up 3-1 for us, however the S1 Renekton gets his shit handed to him by Jayce and makes some stupid ass decisions all game, including building warmogs and mobi-homeguards and chasing Twitch with his duo partner while the rest of us get raped 3v4. Brand gets caught...

    This so much. Lose 2 games in a row, stop for the day or play some fun shit to regain morale. Otherwise you're going to be stuck in a downward spiral of 13 losses in a row back down to Bronze. Morgana's also a pretty weak mid laner now. She's a safe pick but is outclassed by a ton of others.

    Fuck supporting forever. 1. Orianna mid vs Lux: passive as fuck and actually fell behind in CS about 1 every minute. However, me and Lee Sin shat on the enemy Shaco because he didn't have the mechanics. Series attempt 3 went L-W-L. First game Jayce got completely wrecked and I simply could not save Twitch with enough Janna shields when he went full retard. Second game, Jayce from last game went Ashe and I ran Zyra, with a team comp like Cloud 9's. Syndra 2shot a lot of people but...

    Another attempt into Gold III bust. Not sure if I'm in Gold IV or actually Short Bus V. First game, I completely counterpicked myself with first pick Jayce against Wukong. Lvl 2 gank leaves me dead though Amumu goes and helps bot get a double kill. However, Morg farms mid while Jarvan proxies the wave and Wukong takes the tower before I can respawn. Amumu lands godly bandage tosses and sets up Cait to be legendary, but I got basically 50 cs the entire game and was completely useless. Also,...

    So yeah, duo queues. Plat 3 Zed actually doesn't know how to carry/play as Zed, loses lane, builds full retard and never gets the opportunity to split push. He also uses his ult last instead initiating on the back line with it, which tells me he doesn't know how to play. First time Brand gets completely demolished by Fizz and Kayle who lane swapped. Zed's duo partner, Sejuani, builds full retard as well, going for Rylais, Liandrys and Sunfire instead of a Bulwark against all the magic...

    Anticlimactic climb to GIV. First series was a bust because trolls and fail, Duo'd with Deak for the first game but full retard Fiddlesticks picked mid against Cassiopeia. On the climb back I played my second actual game with Elise in jungle, my weakest role. Had some solid ganks and saved Teemo top while feeding him Shyvana for double buffs, but really that game was won when our Kassadin hit 6 against midalee and again, full retard enemy Fiddlesticks except as a support. Nami also...

    Ho hum. Second Promotion series to Gold made me sad for what's ahead. Basically supported myself there because every time I'm not supporting I feel like I leave some incompetent jackass to it who would rather be super carrying like in his dreams. First game, Zed mid with a red pot start gamble shits all over a first time TF who later feeds intentionally. Even though Zed's lower ranked duo partner gives first blood, enemy jungler gives Zed double buffs and he basically single handedly...

Didn't take him to ranked because there's not a chance I'll be getting mid, but it was a pleasure stomping on Bandito Fiddlesticks and Syndra, because racism. Someone called support though they were 4th pick and I was second, so I laughed in their face and said no, they went ADC as Cait. Missed quite a few CS and got caught in a nasty lane gank with Nasus charging through, but we stomped on Taric Ez and in return, "omg janna pro!" :awesome...

First game Vayne did not know how to last hit and kept pushing the lane while his duo queue partner in mid lost to Kassadin as Khazix, never called mia and never warded. Second, I'm forced to play top because someone else locks in support. Leona bot afks in the middle of a fight to answer a phone call and Kennen mid gets stomped by Ahri. I hold my own against Shen with Jarvan but plenty of Udyr pressure and my sloppy roam to mid lost that...

    Hoo boy, this series was a doozy. First game I played Janna and made some fucking sick plays to protect my Graves from Leona Tristana. Fighting for vision in tribush results in him getting ulted and combo'd by Leona then me walking in between the two enemies and blowing them in opposite directions right before Trist could stomp, with Leona thrown towards our tower but not in attacking range. Then I set up a double kill: catching both mid flight with a Q and ruining their combo. Also did...

    If your hidden Matchmaking Rating is lower than that expected of your league/division, you'll see that clamping effect, particularly at div I. Morg mid is a solid, safe pick but her cooldowns are long as hell and her skillshot is hard to land, especially since it seems every champ has mobility out the ass these days. Black shield might have saved you from Rammus' taunt but I guess you threw it on someone else during those fights.

    Iceborn seems pretty standard on Ez since it cuts his cooldowns like whoa. Since he's an AD caster instead of a conventional AD carry, it gives him amazing kiting ability and utility. His Arcane Shift has a base cooldown of 11 seconds at max level, 10% reduction from gauntlet and 15% from Ionian boots bring it down to 8.25. Mystic Shot's base cooldown of 4 drops to 3, so the effective cooldown of E becomes 5 or 6 seconds, which honestly seems pretty fucking broken. If you build him like an...

    I found this assessment of ranked games amusing. While Leona's balls deep engage may be what you're best at playing, it might be time to switch up styles to complement your team comp or counter the enemy's. As for LP, I play one ranked every few weeks or so when I feel particularly adventurous and bored of ARAM (less likely). So far I've had huge gains and jumped 20 LP to 98 in one game in Silver III.

    I think it's a case of people copying pro players without understanding them. There was a Nasus against a lane switched duo so he took spirit fire to safely grab the occasional creep but primarily trying to hold the lane.

    Try building up your confidence in other roles in normal games. I main support out of necessity since everyone else tends to instalock. ADC tends to require high APM and a strong grasp of basic mechanics, and I enjoy mid most because fucking magic and lasers. I don't like jungling because I'm not confident in balancing clearing, ganking and camping, but I can do a hilarious Mundo and I've been working on Jarvan because he's still OP as fuck. Lulu is my favourite support, far outstripping...

He's slow to react to ganks that run right over my wards and gets caught out by Blitz a few times, melting instantly. The worst part is that he doesn't know how to last hit and facechecks brush instead of using hawkshot. Nocturne disconnects and doesn't reconnect until the 5 man invade on blue is finished.

Retarded lvl 1 invade fails horribly with 1 for 3, Talon mid getting 2 and Kennen top getting one, while Zyra throws her first spell after we get wrecked. Fiddle jungles but ganks top once and dies in every attempt afterward. Talon utterly rapes Zyra, but it's not simply the match up since she never lands a shot in a team fight. Graves tries to...
