Sigh, just had two dissapointing games. First game, I did jungle WW, and did pretty well. I was at something like 3/0/1 before top tower went down. Bot requests a gank, but they've had their lane pushed the entire game until just then, so I dunno what they wanted me to do before then. I was going to gank down there, but Blitz + Panth = almost instant facecheck death since they didn't want to do it themselves. Anyway, after that, I start building tanky because our tank Taric has decided to build Archangel's first, before any tank items. I explained he needed a tear, and then build tank, but apparently that wasn't what he wanted to do. He needed that AP so badly . . . >_< Anyway, our Brand and Malz were doing pretty well, while our Swain was just kinda meh. Still, we managed to take out all 3 of their front tower while keeping our mid up, that's when things started going bad. The lack of Taric actually tanking meant I had to build tanky so that when I intiated and my ult got interrupted, I'd survive. Still, even without a proper tank, we weren't ever aced, even when we lost team fights, so they couldn't push down too well. Eventually Xin started backdooring turrets, which was a pain, but we were still managing. We even snuck a baron, albeit half our team lost it immediately after in the team fight. Still Malz and Brand kept it and managed to continue to do well. Sometime around here, our Taric decides to AFK while our Swain is busy farming bot lane. <.< 3 v 5 can only go one way even within tower range. I ended the game at like 7/12/18, which considering I ended up tanking and initiating, wasn't that bad at all.
Second game, I go Malphite, and go bottom with Xin . . . and well, things went to hell pretty fast down there. Xin either afks next to tower, in bush, or next to the minions, and then suddenly he'll run in to try and kill Sona + Jax. I go in afterwards to try to save his ass. We both die of course. I'm at like 0/4/1 by the time we start doing team fights, which all kind of suck because Xin either intiates or doesn't participate at all and jungles. <.< I admit I wasn't playing at my best, and probably should have just let him die on his own after the first time, but seriously, that Xin was pissing me off because of his action/inaction. I end up at 0/7/3, which wasn/t too surprising given the way things went, and Xin ends up at 1/7/0, and believe me, that kill was not his, and the only reason he wasn't dead more was due to him not being in several team fights where we could have used him.
