blog BluAnimal's Ranked Journey To Platinum! - Page 10

I build straight tankiness on him, usually taking the Spirit Golem item, Ninja Tabi's, then go into Sunfire, Frozen Heart, Randuins, Visage, anything that works really. He's so fun, so troll, and so good.

That game was pitiful for the enemy team, they were nowhere near our level. Not sure how normal ratings work completely, but that didn't work well.

Normals have their own matchmaking system, but I don't know what the equation is for it, but you're supposed to all have a rating. When you're qued up with others not sure how it works, but oh well.

Wins mean nothing, someone today had 2,400 wins in normals and still walked into my Cassio ult everytime (different game than I played with you Blu).

I used to play Jax so much but then I just stopped but I have to say that this has made we want to play my Jax a lot more rather than just once every 20 games :L Thanks for this. I think I learned some things that I didn't know before.
Also, good luck in all your ranked games

Thank you, and if you ever need any pointers for Jax just send me a message, I try and play him at least once a day.

It was a joke. Lets face it: if I never played Jax again you wouldn't ever win again :3

I saw Nidalee first pick, I knew I was in for something. I crossed my fingers and prayed it was AP Nid. She goes AD of course, I take cloth and pots and get ready for a rough time. Was an understatement. She was hands down the best Nidalee player I have ever played against and I was completely shocked to see myself get forced out of lane. I expected poking and being low against a Nidalee, but this guy was insane. He was chunking me for quarters of my health despite my early cloth armor and armor page. It was really scary. After all that Maokai ganks for me and I get a kill but then dived by Katarina. I got 1/3 in lane and then finally start roaming.

So thankful for Vayne, Maokai and Talon carrying *bleep*ing hard.

Nidalee and I talked for about an hour in the post-game chat and it was seriously surprising to see someone being civil and nice on League. After we talked and everything we decided we would have some normals in our future. According to him I was the best Jax he's played against. THAT FEEEEEEEEL.

I fell in love with Jax all over again. Was a super hard game to carry, but after all of it Singed offered me a spot on their ranked team as top laner. I feel good. :3 Practices start a week from now, might ditch it immediately though, I don't like teams to be honest.

Alsoooo

Chaosfire That made me die laughing. I main only top lane though, and you can ask lorx or ShadowCrystallux, take me out of top lane and you'll see a significant difference in my skill.

Doing a break down of my skill in lanes:

Top lane: I would say at the least 60% of my games are in top lane, if not 70 or 80. For the majority of the champions I main (Jax, Jarvan, Gangplank, Shen, Olaf) I really strive to dominate in both farm and kills. I also go for late game every time, because that's where most of my champions shine. Some champs I stack gold per 5s to snowball even harder (GP, Olaf) and on others I rush through my build to maximize a strong early game to take towers (Jax). I cannot stress enough how much farm matters. Win lane, win game (usually ) See above game for farm. XD

Mid: Maybe my weakest lane. That or jungle. I only play Cassiopeia and Karthus, although I own a ton of mids. I don't play mid lane enough because my team I play with has a dedicated mid and I'm never put into a situation where I need to mid. Although I will always keep my Cassio strong as my other champions. I guess I don't have enough experience/knowledge of my champions to play aggressive and kill like I do in top lane. I think it's a combination of being squishier then my bruisers and being in the center of the map more prone to ganks. Also I suck at mid farm.

AD bot: I'd say I'm decent with it. I don't focus on kills at all but more farming than anything. I usually play MF, Caitlyn or Vayne. If I'm Vayne I tumble all over and kite pretty damn well. As for Caitlyn it's more sit back and farm, and MF is a nice mix of the two. I don't do bad at AD but its just not the way I enjoy playing the game. Probably my least played role.

Support: I love tanky supports. Taric and Leona anyyyyyydayyyyyyy. I also do Sona pretty well but again, I love tankiness over anything. I'd say I'm pretty good at supporting, and it's probably my second best role.

Jungle: I think personally it's my worst, but I've been playing a lot more of it recently. My major problem is I neglect bot lane out of the sheer fact that I know it's warded and watched like a hawk. I need to be more aggressive with my jungling, my clear times are fine. I love Kha'Zix and Jax but I don't believe you can carry from the jungle. There's several games where I would be fed as the jungler, but still not have the gold to carry the game.

So yeah. 70% top, 15% support, 5% ADC, AP and Jungle.
