Game #98 (WIN): Evelynn is a pretty good pick against Gragas. Eve can troll Gragas with Hate Spikes all day and can dodge his barrels with relative ease. Getting hit with a Body Slam is bad news, but assuming both are level 6, Eve should be able to win the trade easily with her ultimate. He's a hard one to pin down, but he didn't put enough pressure on me stop me from ganking sidelanes or blowing up teamfights. The main thing I need to work on, as always, is CS. I've been having a rough time of it lately.

Game #99 (LOSS): Jayce versus Cho'Gath is a very rough lane! I definitely should have picked someone who could easily dodge Rupture or who isn't completely shut down by a 3-second silence. I was completely helpless in this particular matchup. 

Game #100 (WIN): My farm on Ezreal is consistently mediocre but I played well. Positioned appropriately in team fights, remembered to always auto attack to get free damage whenever it was safe, and poked well. Used Arcane Shift to dodge Amumu ultimates, Nevermoves, and whathave you. Overall, I did well. I just need to farm better.

Game #101 (LOSS): I suck at Irelia. I was up against Jayce. I had two unfavorable options available to me. I could try to farm while being trolled with auto attacks constantly or I could engage on Jayce and get knocked back... at which point he trolls me with more autos. Basically, all he has to do is poke and poke and poke until I'm low and then jump in for the kill. I didn't actually feed him or anything, but it was impossible for me to get anything done. Meanwhile, bot lane loses really hard. They had Tristana, so there really wasn't much of a point in continuing. I don't know how everyone does so well with Irelia.

Game #102 (WIN): For once in my life, I had excellent farm! I always seem to farm pretty well on Renekton. By all accounts, I won my lane against Wukong, but it honestly still pretty even. I zoned him out of some CS and there was no way he could ever kill me 1v1. Unfortunately, he landed the first kill on me (at about 16 minutes in) due to a gank from Fiddlesticks when I was already at half after doing some quick counterjungling. I guess he got revenge! Anyway, this was a really annoying one because their team comp seemed designed to make it difficult to pin anyone down. They had Janna/Fiddlesticks/Wukong/Corki/Ahri, which is just so frustrating for someone like Renekton with long cooldowns. Another issue was Amumu building full AP and asking me to build tanky, but we won't get into that. 

Game #103 (LOSS): Not sure how I feel about Renekton sometimes. If I can't rush a big damage item, I have a rough time. Jarvan took literally no damage from any of my abilities, and all he really did was stack health. As a result, I didn't get the chance to get fed. Compounding matters was the fact that Amumu came in and turned a gank into an 0-2 exchange, which was not a fun time. Somehow, this terrible Amumu ends up going legendary with something ridiculous like 18 kills. How many kills does Ashe have? 1. Maybe he should have played less like a carry and more like a tank.
