I'm currently sitting in Silver III and I just don't see the point in playing anymore ranked games until the season ends as it'd be a miracle if I got to Gold in time. So now I'm just anxiously waiting for season 4 to begin.

Play to learn then. You'd be amazed what you can notice and fix about your play when you're focusing entirely on getting better vice worrying about ranking up. [/COLOR]

Congratulations, man! It's too bad you have to work for it again in Season 4. I don't know how it works, though, so I don't know if it'll be any easier.
In other news, this is my day on League :

The only reason I got to Plat is because my support Zyra skills are Diamond-level at this point, I'm betting, despite my scrub self  . I mean, I think this is a fair estimate of my skills, also organized in each tier (aka my Thresh is better than my Sona).
Diamond: Support Zyra
Platinum: Thresh, Sona, Leona, Jungle Nasus
Gold: Miss Fortune, Blitzcrank, Nami, Jungle Nocturne
Silver: Caitlyn, Mid Zyra
Bronze: Everything else.
That's why you see me failing so hard whenever I play with you  . Oh mannnn my skills are so bad. In that last game in series Ezreal was outcsing me by like 20 the entire match, lololol (even as Cait!). However, my map awareness/general decision making/positioning is pretty good now, I think, so I know what objectives to take and when to take them.

I decided to Duo with my bro to try and make some progress towards Gold today.
He decided I should play Thresh so he left it open and banned Leona instead. Both times the enemy first picks thresh haha.
Since the enemy teams also had an assassin, I didn't feel comfortable running Zyra so I took a chance on Alistar.
Despite being terrible at the W+Q combo, it worked really nicely. I was able to heal my bro (Caitlyn) and easily peel in team fights. I definitely think he might be my go to Thresh/Blitz counter if I can get in some practice.
PS. Did you know you can kb people through most tree barriers? LOL This was a surprise to discover!

So I'm back in Silver II after a 6 game loss streak.
After a couple of rounds losing as Support, I decided to go Jungle in an attempt to carry my team but NOPE.
Even fed I can't compensate for someone like this Vi. She had no situational awareness at all not to mention feeding in lane. I really have to admire her balls initiating fight after fight despite having no gold and the team being out numbered.
To end it all:
This was a 5v4 match until the last 5 minutes and my team was SO BAD that we managed to throw it. Riven did nothing but die to Jax while his duo Vayne kept asking me to camp top. I tried but it was literally impossible to give this Riven kills or keep her from dying in bad fights. Next up we have the worlds worst Taric. Not only did he have to be told where to ward, he had no idea how to play Taric. He repeatedly and randomly stunned enemy tanks as a form of harass or engage and consequently had nothing to peel for Vayne. I can't even count the number of times he ran off to ward and left Vayne to die in 1v2 fights. Last, but definitely not least is Vayne. She had the mechanics down, but did nothing but underestimate the opposing team because they were 5v4. She made bad call after call and yet my team kept following her in because we didn't want to get separated.
I do have to give the enemy Jinx a lot of credit. We won our final fight taking out all but Jinx while not losing a single person. Jinx then sprinted for our Nexus (we had no turrets) and managed to damage it to 1 hit left before we downed her. Of course she had a GA and managed to get the last auto off before we could kill her. There were some real Xpeke moves there and I wish I had it recorded to show.
This officially ends my quest of reaching Gold before season ends.

[MENTION=7779]Purplefire44[/MENTION]; gave me a mystery gift.
pros : it was Demonblade Tryndamere
cons : I don't actually play Tryndamere, I just bought him to complete my collection of "champions not named Draven that have one or more skills that have something to do with blood"

Teemo stole 3 kills from me as bot support, but whatever.
Edit: My MMR is probably complete pomegranate too with that W:L.

*sigh*
If I keep having these fxcking connectivity issues...
I'm sitting here, WATCHING ANOTHER MOTHER pineappleER PLAY, WITH NO LAG OR DIFFICULTIES AT THE HIGHEST SETTINGS, and here I'm sitting behind him AT LOWEST SETTINGS AND STILL SITTING AND DOING NOTHING THANKS TO CONNECTION PROBLEMS.
>_>
At least I got to level 11.
EDIT:: Just tried to login to the client. Got this.

...I think the game is (not-so)subtlely telling me to quit.

Graphics settings are probably not going to resolve connectivity issues unless they're being caused by your computer getting too hot.
