Road to Diamond 5 Thread [Log]

[Sypherz]

Hey guys, I've barely played any solo q at all this season. Finally making the push back to Diamond 5.

I spent all day working up to Plat 2 so I have a nice place to start my thread from!

One of the primary goals of this log is to help me reflect on mistakes in an effort to master some of my favorite champions.

Game#:
Outcome: Win
LP Change: P3 --> P2

Game#:
Outcome: Win
LP Change: P2 0LP --> P2 17LP

Game#:
Outcome: Loss
LP Change: P2 17LP --> P2 0LP
Notes: Everything went wrong this game. I accidentally used the wrong page against Darius (health seals instead of armor) which put me more or less on tilt-- went even in lane and let my self die to two obvious ganks. Disgustingly toxic team-- 1-10 zed, 1-7 cait-- just unpleasant people. But that's not any excuse for playing mediocre my self.

Game#:
Outcome: Win
LP Change: P2 (-10)LP --> P2 8LP
Notes: I need to work on a good way to roam & help my team from top lane without sacrificing cs, etc.

Game#:
Outcome: Win
LP Change: P2 8LP --> P2 31LP
Notes: Died once late game because I got greedy trying to steal blue. Lost a teamfight due my my monitor and power turning off. All league of legends problems/lost lanes for now on will be blamed on the power company.

Game#:
Outcome: Loss
LP Change: P2 31LP --> P2 16LP
Notes: I blame the power company.

Game#:
LP Change: P2 31LP --> P2 37LP
Notes: One completely undeserved loss (still salty as crap.). One of the most amazing games I have ever played. One meh game. Two stomps.

Game#:
LP Change: P2 37LP --> P2 18LP
Notes: Lost the game with +40 kills. Got drophacked every time we won a fight. Sigh.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few days ago I went on a huge loss streak and ended up in p3. Decided not to log until I was able to get back up to my starting point.

Game#:
LP Change: P3 0LP --> P2 0LP
Notes: Back up to my starting point of p2. Hopefully will be a bit more consistent with logging again.

Game#:
LP Change: P2 0LP --> P2 22LP
Notes: Played on tilt. I've really got to stop doing that.

Game#:
LP Change: P2 22LP --> P2 90LP
Notes: Had some success with various top laners. Admittedly I'm not a great support but that first game was a huge mess in every way possible.

Game#:
LP Change: P2 90LP --> P1 27 LP
Notes: I have a lot of trouble against tanky top laners. Something I should really work on.

Game#:
LP Change: P1 27LP --> P1 100 LP
Notes: Wish me luck on series!

Game#: Series
LP Change: P1 100LP --> D5 0LP
Notes: For some reason these games don't show on OP.GG. I got forced into playing bot roles and wasn't able to help my team carry the first two games. Waited a night 0-2 nervous as hell.

I really like your attitude.
Notes: Everything went wrong this game. I accidentally used the wrong page against Darius (health seals instead of armor) which put me more or less on tilt-- went even in lane and let my self die to two obvious ganks. Disgustingly toxic team-- 1-10 zed, 1-7 cait-- just unpleasant people. But that's not any excuse for playing mediocre my self.

Is the best thing I've read in awhile from someone actually admitting that, even though their team fed; they played mediocre themselves. This is a team game and the only reason I don't play ranked no more is simply cause I don't have fun.. The amount of ragers/complainers/and team blamers in Plat amazes me.. Now maybe this is everywhere, but it's simply ruined the game for me.

I totally feel you. I miss the days when I could sit down and play like 14 hours in a row.

 

[Boatswain]

do you always rumble top? in your exp who counters rumble?

Anyone who can effectively build tanky is rough for Rumble, just because I like to snowball and try to first blood. Shyvanna is my most hated matchup. She is difficult to kill (negatron rush), can jump out of my ult, and forces me into a non-ideal build path. Tryndamere is difficult as well because he can outduel me even when I'm overheating.

I actually only picked Rumble back up recently though. I played ~5-600 games with him before the huge nerfs of season 3. But I think he is in equally strong place at the moment.

Good luck bro soon as I hit platinum 5 in 2 days or so I'll be making the same LOG :}

The only way to do that effectively IMO would be to take teleport. However this would ofcourse lower your firstblood potential without ignite.

 

"All losses will now be blamed on the power company"

Loss

"Notes: I blame the power company."

Fucking died.

 

[Shin]

Good luck. I really like the thread organization you're doing.

 

[Direchampion]

Good luck with this! I know you've been looking at it for a while and I think you can definitely make it.

 

[Sypherz]

updated. going to start logging again.

 

[Lonewolfx66]

Whoa, that's a lot of Rumble games. Good luck getting D5!

 

[Squiggs]

Good luck man, I'm only gold 3 so I feel pretty out of place here...

Sythe has a wide variety of players ranging from Bronze 5 to Top 25 Challengers. There's no reason to feel out of place

 

Gl man, looking forward to seeing you progress
