Game #110 (WIN): Season is drawing to a close! I most likely will not be hitting gold, considering the relative infrequency of my ranked games. However, after watching the World Finals (go TPA!), it was refreshing to come back to Ranked and win a game. I played Orianna against Diana. I knew she would have a really hard time killing me without jungler pressure, so I bought plenty of wards. I bought at least 10 during the course of the game, usually 2 at a time to keep my ramps covered. As such, I was fairly safe from ganks. Although we did end up winning this game (and in fact I had a lot to do with it), I was definitely at fault for not exerting more pressure during the laning phase. I can't think of a single time I left the lane to gank, although I did assist Amumu by keeping jungle entrances warded and coming to his aid any time he was in trouble. We managed to clean up in teamfights. Even though they had a Malphite, Command: Shockwave + Curse of the Sad Mummy was too much for them to handle, not to mention Sona's Crescendo. I had the most CS in the game at 190 (at 32 minutes), but I know I can do so much better. I'm probably just a little rusty. Just need some more practice.
Game #111 (LOSS): I didn't want to play Yorick. He's one of the most boring champions in the entire game. I get no enjoyment from playing this champion. What's worse, I was tasked to lane against Nunu, who hardcounters Yorick in pretty much every way I can think of. Nunu has better mana and health sustain, and better range on his primary harassment tool. Addtionally, Yorick has nothing in his kit that can interrupt Nunu's ultimate. Eventually, he just tower dove me whenever he felt like it. Just a miserable, miserable game.
Current ELO: 1323
