Zilean
Gangplank, Ashe
Udyr, Veiger
Nunu, Ryze
Tryndamere, Blitzcrank
Karthus
Pregame Breakdown:
So I haven’t played Blitzcrank in a while, but I have played him enough to be confident in my tanking abilities. He is one of my favorite solo queue champions because he can tank and deal damage. I wasn’t big on the Veiger pick seeing that it would only affect 3 champions at most and only 1 significantly enough to matter. The last thing I didn't like about my team was that it was filled with late game champions. This was slightly offset by Zilean, but still can't make up for the fact that Tryndamere and Veiger need farm and lots of it. Looking at the enemy team I feel it was a tough one. Nunu jungle is amazing, Ashe is a good carry, Gangplank and Karthus are heavy pub-stompers and Ryze is Ryze. Lots of teleports this game too.
Summoners: Clairvoyance and Flash
Starter Item: Sapphire crystal
Lane Match Ups:
Top: Blitzcrank vs Ashe
Middle: Veiger vs Karthus
Bottom: Tryndamere and Zilean vs Gangplank and Ryze
Jungle: Udyr and Nunu
Early Game:
Zilean takes first blood at 4:16 off Ryze. In my lane I'm desperately trying to farm as Ashe harassing me back every time. A nice gank from Udyr nets us Ashe, as she is pushed to my tower. The best part is that I didn't last hit well at all under tower but Ashe was even worse at farming. I was actually ahead. I could never get her in a good grab though. During this Karthus nets 3 kills in a short time frame. Failed gank top nets Karthus another two kills. Remembering Karthus had teleport would have saved our asses here. As Udyr ganked Ashe immediately ran before he was in lane. Therefore a ward was near that brush. This is how the Karthus that just killed Zilean bottom was now right on top of us. My team continues to bitch. Ashe makes short work of the tower. Losing it at ~11:30.
Mid Game:
Veiger who has complained of lag since the beginning of the game finally DCs. Gangplank starts to slowly roll in the kills. Veiger reconnects not to long later but still complains about the issue. I miss a few easy grabs. But starting getting steam, no pun intended, in my own train as I net a kill here and there. Sadly no one else is getting theirs. These kids were just bad. I get caught out position with Tryndamere. Zilean helps me get away, but then both Zilean and Veiger die chasing kills when they could have easily both got away and should have know that the entire enemy team was right there. I tell everyone to move dragon where we net a good many kills as we catch them all out of position plus dragon. Zilean begins to complain shortly after this of lag too. Needless to say Zilean is 5/11/5 and Veiger is 5/10/1. With Gangplank at 11/0/14 and Karthus at 15/3/6
Late Game:
Late game begins with us being almost nearly aced. At this same time Veiger can finally two shoot Karthus. This is the time we either start raping face or fall flat because our shitty early and mid game. Well it starts out a mix of both. Zilean and Tryndamere getting caught here and there while Veiger, Udyr, and I kill Ashe and Ryze. Veiger keeps dying almost instantly and Zilean is pretty much useless in team fights where we are on even ground. They take baron at ~38 min with Veiger teleporting in two shooting Karthus and die to Nunu and Ryze. I find out Tryndamere has been feeding as much as Zilean and Veiger around this time. He also has no damage till about this time also. I hate blaming my teammates but I can't do anything against a 16/1/19 Gangplank and a 25/9/12 Karthus when there is no team work what so ever, when no one but the troll has damage, an our support only helps themselves because they are lagging. The only two things I could have tried to do more of is ward and dragon, but I lead the team to one dragon and I can't ward the whole map because my team was literally everywhere. I don’t think we had one 5 on 5 team fight the entire game.
Wins/Loses

Comments and Tips:
- Gangplank is just ridicules right now in this Elo.
- Taking better note of summoner spells can help keep you out of harms way.
- Sometimes you just have to be able to lead people. If you can't the game is already over. I couldn’t get the team to act as one and therefore it was a 5v1v1v1v1v1.
- Attack speed without damage means nothing. Likewise with lifesteal and armor pen. Aka Tryndamere's build till 35 mins into the game.
- Need to work on using Clairvoyance better.
