[COLOR="#cc8899"]Yet another game where 1 person carried the entire enemy team. Their Akali came just shy of 50 kills - we finally started shutting her down at 49. She left the bottom lane in the first few minutes of laning phase and proceeded to gank. Repeatedly. Killing the top and middle lanes repeatedly quickly got her to around 10/1 status, and she was nearing 20 kills by the time we started getting into real team fights. We dominated most of the team fights, especially when she wasn't around (the rest of her team all had about half as many kills as deaths), and her reliance on spell vamp to survive made her pretty vulnerable to some well timed Incinerates. We got a pretty good rhythm down of "Kill Akali, push and destroy a tower + inhib" towards the very end, but eventually we got overconfident - we saw her pushing the bottom lane, so we decided to take the chance and go for the win. We were just about to kill the 2nd Nexus tower when the defeat screen came up - she had managed to finish off our nexus in the meantime (we had most of our towers destroyed by this point as well).
Akali ended up roughly 49/11 or some such.
At least I had the satisfaction of having the least deaths by far (5, as opposed to 10+ for everyone else). Still pretty frustrating to have a situation like that come up.
@ Kajiti - MY LoL moment of the week came as Blitzcrank when our 5 man push got all the way to their Nexus and got it down to a sliver of health. The enemy team was able to finally stop us before we could quite break it. When I finally revived, my team was split pushing the top and bottom, 2 in each. I quite literally ran straight up the middle, ignoring their Akali (who appeared out of the fog of war on my way up and subsequently started chasing/attacking me) and making a beeline straight for the Nexus. Akali was still on me, and was soon joined by another champion (I forget who). It'd healed up to about 1/3 by this time, and I proceeded to lay into it while spamming my E and W (as well as a quick ult once to kill a minion wave/silence the 2 champions hitting me). I was about 5 or 10% health with my shield having already come up by the time I got the last hit I needed in (thanks to Blitzcrank's E resetting his autoattack timer, I was able to do so just barely fast enough to finish the job).[/COLOR]
