My last ranked game was so dumb. Pudge and Skywrath fighting for mid, both sitting there for a solid 5 minuets, lycan in the jungle dying to the enemy trilane top, me solo top against a trilane and stuck at level 1 for 5 minutes as lich, (Got frost blast level 1 to try and help skywrath get first blood, he died), and Kunkka solo bottom.
We were 0-5 at 5 minutes in, down a tower, lycan had no farm due to getting killed twice, our mids were low on money and XP due to nether wanting to leave. Our only saving grace at the time was Kunnka's solo hard lane was basically uncontested, getting decent farm and levels. But overall things looked grim.
But Lycan moved to the enemy jungle, I gave up on top since I couldn't get in XP range and just went bottom (And then me and kunnka left bottom when the trilane rotated and went back top), Pudge conceded mid and farmed top since there was no tower then, and after 15 minutes, we actually had some momentum behind us. Lycan was split pushing on his own effectively, the rest just did a 4 man death ball on the enemy, and after 33 minutes won the game. I think the biggest thing that helped was the enemy Mirana simply never used her ult. In the entire game, I think it was used twice.
