Elo Festival

Game #76 (WIN): Wow, it feels really good to win a game on Kennen, and against someone I consider to counter him (Vladimir). My farm was very good the first 10 minutes but then everything kind of snowballed out of control as we put tons of pressure on mid lane.

Game #77 (WIN): Lots of lag spikes this game! I wouldn't say I carried this game, but I performed adequately. Got some good kills off on Morgana (with the help of Juddy on Shyvana) and used my ult appropriately in team fights (read: used restraint + zhonyas). My Kennen win ratio is finally positive. I feel like I somewhat deserve my three skins now.

Game #78 (LOSS): Well, this game was just silly. I was dominating Lux in lane, in CS as well as harass. I had much more presence than she did. Unfortunately, their Amumu fed her kill after kill and she ended up smelling like roses because of it. Our Ezreal/Soraka lost hard to Miss Fortune/Taric, and Ezreal didn't build TF or Phantom Dancer. His only source of AS was Berserker Greaves. Not surprisingly, he was completely unable to carry come mid game. Hate builds like this. Ezreal was almost completely unwilling to enter fights, regardless. I guess his build didn't matter much in the end.

Game #79 (LOSS): Two major factors here. One, Taric completely and utterly hardcounters Draven, even with Cleanse. I should have banned him. That was my mistake. Two, I had lag issues throughout the first half of the game, making last-hitting impossible. Even still, I massively out-traded Vayne. But everything about Taric is anti-Draven. The armor, the sustain, the stun to prevent him from catching axes, the burst. Ban Taric.

Game #80 (WIN): Kennen and Nunu is such an amazing bottom lane combo, holy shit. Will definitely do this again. Even though Taric is as obnoxious as usual to play against, we managed to come out ahead, partially because Vayne is extremely reliant on landing consecutive hits, which is hard to do versus stuns/slows. 

Game #81 (LOSS): Same combo, still just as devastating. Unfortunately, our team was way too hard to carry. I was 3/0/1 by 3 minutes and we still couldn't win. That's an amazingly bad team right there. Not going to say I made all the right calls. If I had, I definitely would have won. It's just really depressing.
