Taking another break from ranked games

Come the new masteries, I found out the hard way that they had quite a big impact to my game style. I thought it wouldn't matter a lot but I just found myself "out of place", even with champions I play for a very long time. For that reason, I stoped playing ranked games and turned back to normal games, where I can test and fine-tune the new masteries into my playing style. So far I think I found the optimal setups for my two main junglers, Nocturne and Shyvana, and I'm currently working on my support, AD and AP pages (seems that I can't be able to finish that AP soon though, with 6 bans available now, Kassadin is almost always banned or first picked...)

Anyway, hope I get back to speed soon and get back on my jurney up the ladders!! :D

It's over 1.3k!!!!!!!!

Finaly passed that barrier!!

The game started awful for us... Even though we where playing 5v4 since the beggining (you see on the above screenshot that Nidalee is 0% in loading, something that persisted until the game begun) we couldn't get a good lead. Nasus did well against Talon on top but a few fail ganks and counterganks from olaf and a weak mid laner Xerath, the opponents kept up with us in score, even if me and Cait dominated bottom lane. Still, we where clearly overpowering them, since my wards and CV's kept the enemies at bay while we freely farmed and got dragons one after another. Still, even after 20 minutes in game, we still didn't have a strong lead as our teamwork failed in noumerus ways. Nasus solo pushed top and got ganeked easily since he didn't have flash and Olaf didn't do much on the front line to stop the opponents from focusing Xerath and Cait. Still,our opponents couldn't push our lanes as much as we did. Even after Nidalee reconnected, having a CV of their own, they couldn't stop us from even getting a free baron. And, comming late game, after all of us reached lvl 18, one good defence gave us the opportunity to counter push, take down all of their inhibitors and finaly push their nexus. Even though they managed to defend it, they surrendered with a 4/1 vote at 46:03.

End game stats:

Replay found here:

Game 112

Current Elo: 1302 (+13 Elo Gained)

100 ranked games!!

I wanted to post my 100dth game but... umm... I forgot...!!! :P Oh well, at least, unlike in season one, I still linger around 1200 elo, while back then I had already dropped to 1000 or less. Anyways, games go on, the "Current stats" tab on the left is being continiusly updated and, until I find more time to spare so I can upload more and more games, you can check that out for my progress...!!

Until later!!
