that's not meant as a malicious dig against u heavy, I've never played with you, but the one time I played with sofo in a bot game he would call out mistakes that he didn't even make
FTFY <:
Oooh, I remember that time! Was fun! I think I was Lulu and you were Kat with the Penta? ;o
To be honest, I raged a lot half a year ago, but I changed my mentality because it wasn't healthy and it was really counterproductive. Like it would just put me on tilt and what not, and my performance degraded (from trash too!)
well i dunno about that game, seems like your team was pretty set on losing with like the volibear with tp and shit
i feel like yo might've wanted to max e (imo you should always start e unless you very high % catch at lvl1) if you were fighting their bot lane a lot. like hook isn't gonna help you a lot against leona and trist while juicy aoe damage from flay plus passive is pretty good. if game was a lot about roaming and looking for picks then max q was ok but i see lucy and trist were killing each other all the time and like e passive gives you like 30 more ad per rank when supercharged which is pretty nice.
also vs a brawly lane like that you might want to get tankier masteries, go for like 16-14 or something
i wouldn't recommend getting that armor attack speed reduction thingie either, at least not as your first item. you could've tried going for mikaels (you can start with the cdr item with thresh since he doesn't need chalice all that much) since they had annie+leona (tho tbh there's very little you can do to save someone from an annie) or just starting with giants belt or maybe glacial shroud or something. like as a support you're not gonna be tanking much, just peeling for adc. getting randuins is useful so you can body block a bit and get the slow and generally don't be one-shot but overall i feel like it's better
other than that i dunno, your team got pretty shit on and since your frontliners were idiots and your backline was feeding there's not much you could do. picture i see in my head is a lot of landed hooks turning into aces for the enemy team.
To be completely honest, I did land some hooks but we didn't/and obviously couldn't follow up, so it was kinda eh. They also started grouping while we were trying to scrap for EXP ._.
I will take your word about the masteries! Those are the kind I use for Leona I think. I never thought about switching masteries and not just be like "dis 4 thresh and 4lyf". I am still the kind of person to overlook these kind of things, or at least I like to favour utility (I love that movement speed).
You are totally right on the Giant's belt/Warden's Mail thing! I actually used to do that a lot, or to favour Health over stats when building parts of future tank items (this was going to be a Randuin's!). I'm not entirely sure about Mikael's here, because Leona wasn't that great herself (her R's were way off and I would flay her out when she tried to E).
All and all, I'm still bummed for a loss, considering (and I'm scared) that I will get teamed up with some Bronze team mates (Leona and Shaco landed on Silver 1 after this match - they were on placements as well) and I am a bit worried that unless I can land Annie, I can't really "carry" or help win.
I'm glad I'm losing my fear overall about ranked. I hope that even if I land on Bronze (nothing wrong with that I guess) I can push for at least Silver! But really, just want to shake off the fear for the upcoming season.
