So I just made my first hop into ranked games afterall.
Games so far:
1. Jungling as Mao. Get invaded, they take my blue but one of them dies, so ok I guess. Our fiddle in the middle is... quite bad, to put it bluntly, and feeds lux somewhat hard, which ends in our teams demise. My favorite part was me pinging mid and walking up in the side brush, then while I wait for a good time to jump on lux, fiddle just starts casting his ult and goes in. I obviously follow up, but fiddle walks into enemy tower range, gets snared and dies for aboslutely no reason. Oh well.
2. Support as Lulu. All lanes are even except top, where their olaf feeds our elise hard before ragequitting. Easy win afterwards.
3. Support as Lulu. Laning with a well-playing Tristana, she scores a doublekill at lvl 2, then another doublekill soon after. Snowballing hypercarry leads to quick victory.
4. Mid as Lux. All our lanes do well, especially bottom, we have some back-and-forth with teamfights but end up even or on top every time, slowly push down turrets, get inhib, get baron, seal game.
So far, so good. Let's see how that is gonna play out in the long run. Say, how long can you go without playing ranked before you start dropping passively?
