@Ruki my mans, i'm telling you - you gotta give Tahm Kench a try in the top lane. He's a freaking monster. He's basically single-handedly carried me out of B5 (only as far as B4 so far to be fair, but i've been busy with scrims). I'm unbeaten with a 5.36 KDA despite CS'ing like a crab. http://oce.op.gg/summoner/userName=Plubby - check out my record and give him a go. You'll be back on your winning track i'm sure ^_^

I did the TK thing a few months ago, and I enjoyed it...but then it got boring. But maybe boring is something I need to get back into the game....

Because right now, I think I am winless up top and I've used my go tos of Irelia, Maokai Malphite. And for support I'm rotating Leona, Sona, and Alistar (because I am good with him now).

 

And I was about to get mad that ZZ'Rot wasn't banned on OCE...but I remember, patch day. And for TK top, I'm debating between a RoA or Sunfire start.

[Plubby]

Health is not as important on Tahm because of his E, which gives him extra value out of your health anyway. Resistances are way more important. (I should have gone ZZrot first or second, for instance. I was on autopilot because it had been disabled.)

[Ruki]

I'm about to do a TK game, gonna do Sunfire into ZZ.

Nevermind, bastard stole it. So I'm gonna go Tank Akali top with the same build path...against Rammus top. Is this going to be a thing now?

Edit: I now own all but one champion...Lee Sin.

[Plubby]

Given you are much better than me you might be able to do that and still finish both items by when you need Zzrot by. Ideally you want it by 15-18 mins so you can set up a 1-4-1.

[Ruki]

@Plubby , you're smart...why the fuck does Rammus top work?

[Plubby]

Triple ADC comps. It was first picked in professional play by Ssumday into:
 

Poppy Top
Graves JG
Corki Mid
Ezreal ADC
Bard Sup

 

Which is not only triple ADC but QUAD physical damage. Also he splitpushes extremely effectively against the comps you would pick him into as not only (A) can nobody duel him while he's splitting but (B) his push is very good because Tremors both damages turrets AND is on a super-low cooldown. And of course his auto attacks are augmented by his passive.

 

In Top SoloQ I would consider picking him into triple physical damage comps, particularly if the enemy laner is physical damage.

13-8-23, S+ as my first Rammus game. I dig it.

Edit: Followed up with a 3-0-5 A+ game. Nice.

 

Edit 2: So, I am good with Alistar sometimes. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2111385360/202665528?tab=overview

Sometimes you're down 10k gold and still win...

The support with 111 farm ZZRot and Banner of Command is a great combo. We only won at the end I think because we had a ZZRot top, banner bot, and a ZZ mid.

[Plubby]

That Kindred build fkn tilts me.

[Ruki]

Huh, didn't even notice her build in game. The only one I paid attention to was Yi because he was carrying. And to make sure everyone had MR, because LB was fucking blowing us up...like...1500 damage in .6 seconds.

Edit: Just realized I made more money than: Kindred, Naut, Xerath, and Alistar. 

[Plubby]

Yi should have built Ghostblade over LW with that build, I feel like.

[Ruki]

Two sub-25 minute games in a row and now I am in a series

Edit: 4th win in a row, all with Banner/ZZRot Sona (if the game went late enough). And now a level 5 mastery with her.

[Ruki]

I succeed in my promo from G5 to 4...then lose two in a row :/

 

Edit: Four in a row. I am tilt.

[Ruki]

Oh hey, remember how I went on a bad losing streak? I am now on a winning streak. 5 games to be exact, 4 Ali and a Leona. Now I'm in a series

[Ruki]

Worst feeling: Winning a ranked game.......98LP.

(But I am a great Ali player now)

[Plubby]

For those who have been unable to keep up with the team i'm helping, here's a highlight video from OPL's Super Week:

 

[Ruki]

Promoted to Gold III

Loving that if you fail a promo that you will be given a free win next time. Turns 2/3 to 1/2! Much more manageable.

 

The promo game? Ugh, it was bad. Our toplane Jax was feeding hard, Lulu was behind to a fed Ahri, and our lane was doing ok. I think things only turned around abou t20 minutes in when Yi got sated + rageblade...plus, they threw pretty hard at baron....but we were so far behind, we couldn't close right away.

[RoHitman Reigns]

So any of yall ever get to game with a pro whether on their team or not? I ask only cause wound up in an ARAM with TL IWillDominate the other day.

[Ruki]

Really? That's pretty cool. The closest I've come is playing with one or two rioters.
