Doing some duo queue with Darahas. We decided to switch champions since he was first pick and I was last pick. Baited their mid pick, Fizz (which is still countered by Ryze), and counter picked him (again) with Zed. Great game over all.

I felt good playing Twisted Fate on my smurf account, so I tried him out in mid lane. Unfortunately for me, I was hard countered by Kassadin. During the lane phase, I actually killed him after he killed me... thank god for ignite. After that though, he just rolled over me. Good thing was that instead of getting my tower, he decided to roam. This worked out for me because he focused more on roaming than pushing my tower. All I did was come back up, get to the tower before he came back, hit the tower a few times, and than hopefully back off before he came back to kill me. It didn't work out so well in the beginning but once I got my boots, I was able to get out of his ult range. Once my team started to group up though, I started to shine. Got a triple kill which lead to us being able to take down the middle inhib. Great game overall.
~Enaio~ I figured I haven't played Nasus in a long time and I thought I would be facing Shen in top lane but I was wrong. Early on, I was getting cut down by Elise. After I got Spirit Visage though, she couldn't do any damage to me. Also got to practice with a group of friends that I met through majorleaguegaming.com. Good game.
~Enaio~ Ok, so I don't really think I need practice with Jarvan because I am already good with him. And this game (along with the others) shows that I am good with him. I can build him tank or bruiser, doesn't matter, I will do well. Anyways, good game.
~Enaio~ I've been trying to practice all my top lane champions, this time I went with Cho'Gath. I felt I did pretty good. Especially against Quinn, who I would have thought countered Cho. One thing I have learned though, even when blinded, Cho's Void Spikes still hit. So don't let blind not let you get minion farm, if you level up your Void Spikes first, like I do, you can still get minions easily. Overall, good game.
~Enaio~ So I finally got accepted for the closed beta of Infinite Crisis. Unfortunately, the game doesn't support Windows XP. Luckily I have access to a laptop that runs on Windows 7. Gonna have to see how this game is before it gets launched
So this morning I got rolled over by a Ryze in top lane. I was playing Zed, which I now know was a horrible pick against Ryze. That will never happen again... hopefully. But that's not the point of this post. Yes, I got wrecked by a Ryze but that drove me to actually learn some of the odd ball champions in top lane. So I decided to make a list of champions to learn. First up was Ryze since he was the reason this all started... After being stomped by that Ryze, I spent about an hour reading material that I could find about how he plays and what makes him a strong AP top. I took him to a custom and practiced as much as possible with him. After that, I felt like earning my win of the day. Luckily for me, I got Ryze. I actually wasn't scared to take him into an actual 5v5 match, I know this is ARAM but it is still 5v5. Our Lissandra kept disconnecting but that just drove me to push it harder. I kept rolling over the enemy team. I got about four triple kills. Almost had a pentakill if it wasn't for their Zilean using his speed boost on Xin Zhao and his ult on himself so that Xin could get away until he popped back up and nuked me with a double time bomb.
I think I am ready to take Ryze to the next step, which is an actual 5v5 on Summoner's Rift. That won't happen just yet though... gonna play some Terraria! ~Enaio~ After playing mid lane, top lane, ad carry, and support for about a month now, I decided to go back into the jungle. I haven't been in the jungle most of this season but figured I could try it out. Didn't do great in the beginning. Around mid game, we started to roll over their tanks but couldn't get to Tristana or Lux, still winning or making it so that they can't do anything after the fight. At late game, we were able to get to their carries pretty easily because Singed and Cho'Gath were diving toward our carries really hard. Even with them diving our carries so hard, Ezreal was able to get into the fights with Arcane Shift and using his ult, which gave us several kills on their carries. Great game overall... now to get out of silver 5 again... ugh.
