had a pretty bad ranked 5s game with lebonk against a lux that was really good and was outroaming me pretty hard. match before i had a similar situation with an enemy leblanc. laning and roaming are def my two weakest points i'd say, with backing and map awareness close seconds. that team pretty much destroyed us, we had come from a very hard fought win in the last game but we got that off sheer sejuani power and just enemy leblanc continuously underestimating us, which i guess worked 9 out of 10 times but that 10 was the game so, you know, dumb.
fortunately i had my revenge and we got matched against the same team a few games later. i was xerath vs ahri but pretty much reked, ended up like 12 0 6 or something. xerath is weird, i wish his w was more fun so his kit was a bit less passive, cos his ult specially is awesome and easily one of the most fun spells in the game. i picked him two games in a row against braums cos like braum fucking counters my whole champion pool lol
off that win we ended up jumping no promos from s3 so s1 with my ranked 5s team. ranked teams is pretty weird, we're in a weird elo of shitty teams getting carried by a single diamond player, it's so strange how pretty much every game is a situation like that, and the ones that aren't are just like complete stomps over low silver players. not sure if it's the server not having enough people or what but we rarely get matched against a likewise strong team made of platinums/golds or whatever
...
anyways, was looking with a friend through rito's api and found some cool stuff in the match services regarding something called "timeline", which we guess would be like the graph you see in your match history but it has really weird stats like "ancientGolemAssistsPerMinCounts" or "csDiffPerMinDeltas", as well as things called "tenToTwenty" which are described as "Value per minute from 10 min to 20 min"
so basically riot tracks a lot of cool stuff that you don't get shown anywhere and i really wonder how the csDiff thing works. could be difference from your last minute but would be cool if it compared against like other players? maybe just figure out who you were laning against based on your position? or maybe it compares against the average of the other players?
same with the value thing, maybe it tracks a bunch of stats like kill participation, wards placed/destroyed, objectives taken, etc. and gives you a score based on that?
i dunno, there's some cool stuff
gonna keep fooling around with it so my friend teaches me php and coffeescript and some other crap
