Really wasn't expecting a Xin Zhao top at all. Thought that was more of a Season 2 champion pick for top lane. Either way, it really caught me off guard. I ended up giving first blood because he flash, knocked up, and ignited me. Was able to counter act it by just slow pushing the lane. The first time I did it, he jumped me and the minions did more damage then he expected. After that, he just let me push to tower and I did the same for him... for a little while. Unfortunately for his team, they had a troll Nidalee. The Nid wanted mid but was last pick. I am sorry guys but Pick Order always goes before call. If you don't get the role you want, you need to know how to play other roles. That's the game. Communication is key though. If you really want mid and don't trust yourself in other roles, you need to specify that, like so:
- "Prefer (role).. can (other roles)"
- "(Role) (Plox/Plz/preferred/please/etc)
- "Can go anywhere but (role)"
My personal favorite is: "Prefer (role)... can (role) if needed... and for the love of god, you don't want me (role)". Not kidding. That's what I say because I can't ADC worth a damn.
And speaking of communication, this game was mainly won due to having two other people on Curse Voice. I can't stress it enough. Even though the timers for dragon and baron are gone, it is still important to have because communication is so important. Yes you can use pings and chat but in the middle of a team fight, pings and chat are fairly tough ways of communication. I suggest everyone that is going to attempt to climb the ranked ladder to get this program. It's free and in open beta. Here's a link if you want to look into it: http://beta.cursevoice.com/
Overall though, despite their troll Nidalee, this game was a tough one. Good game.
