Pregame Breakdown:

so I'm liking my team at load in. we have a good line of champions. Likewise I'm not afraid of theirs. Our team having a good amount of CC while the enemy has a moderate amount.

Summoners: Clairvoyance and Flash

Starter Item: Sapphire crystal

Lane Match Ups:

Top: Malzahar vs Shen

Middle: Ashe vs Cassiopeia

Bottom: Blitzcrank and vs Teemo and Sona

Jungle: Gangplank vs Warwick

Early Game:

So I start off with a really stupid Clairvoyance, though otherwise uneventfully jungle protection. Bottom is pushed hard and I can't farm very well under tower. Nidalee was pretty bad with the spears and I was always off by a few pixels for grabs. I need to start calling for ganks when my lane is pushed like this. Ashe and Cassiopeia exchange kills in mid with first blood going to Ashe at 7:37. I'm a dumb ass and let Teemo and Sona get an extra kill as I'm trying to get those last couple last hits. Nidalee decides to take both of them on without so much as a warning to me. By the time I get there to help shes already running. A Sona ult leaves both of us stunned and Nidalee dead. Nidalee continues to play aggressive the whole time blaming me. I help out where I can only to die.

Mid Game:

We lose out first turret, bottom, at ~17:20. Nidalee afks for a few mins after she gets caught out of position. The team starts to fall apart. They are just much better. 7 to 12 in kills and down 2 turrets. One bad fight after another and we fall more and more behind. A team fight in our favor turns into Shen taunting all 4 of us there with Nidalee in the back missing her spear only to run into the middle of the fight in cougar to trying and kill Teemo and dieing. Warwick ate everyone else alive. From there it was a fast push then a surrender vote. I'm not usually one to surrender but there was nothing we could do. Just being outplayed. Warwick ended the game with 20 stacks on his Sword of the Occult.

Comments and Tips:

• It never hurts to call for a gank when the enemy is beating at your tower.
• Last hits aren't worth dieing for
• I need to get better with Clairvoyance if I'm going to use it. I either wasted it or it was on cooldown for far too long.
• I need to play Blitzcrank outside of ranked for a little. I just can't carry a game with him at all.
• Jungle Gangplank needs to gank. He has little dragon control other than warding. If he doesn’t gank he was fairly useless as a jungler. Also figured I would get the one that doesn’t carry us.
