The sad story of a Wukong lover.
From season 2 to season 5 I was in B5. With 200+ more losses than wins, starting in B5.
Summoner Name: "Talon Wukong"
I was permabanned shortly after because I couldn't stop raging about the Talon rework. I was so used to brain dead winning mid lane with how incredibly easy every match up was for Talon, realizing I wasn't actually good at the game when they reworked him kind of broke my psych for awhile. My 2 cheese champs for climbing were Talon mid, and Udyr jungle (split push method:
max Q and E, rush
, ward, push top, tp bottom when enemies start to close in). Assassin update ruined me. I sucked Wukong so I never actually used him in ranked, but he's always been my favorite champ since I started using him in S3. My first love will always be Riven, though she'll never be the monster was she in earlier seasons.
New account, back to bronze. Not climbing. Then... change happened.
For the first time, I started using LolKing.net, OP.GG, MobaBuilds, watching professionals and streamers, reading the Wiki for every champion and even downloaded the "Summoner's Companion" , "LoL Sumo" , "Builds for LoL" and "OP.GG" apps to my phone. Why? While still using my Talon Wukong boards profile, I was constantly bitching about how the changes ruined Talon. I still strongly hate that his blink is now a dash with 175 units shortened range. Which is a buff because it was originally like 400 or 450, don't remember. Then someone posted a link to my LolKing, OP.GG and LoLanalytics to show me how absolute trash I was in every aspect including but not limited to warding, creep score, deaths and absolute wood 5 tier itemization. Which means I I climbed to diamond solely on the fact that Talon was busted and that it wasn't necessary to take
as a jungler, especially as
.
Climbed to plat 5, I think the username was "Fizz Wukong" but then got extremely toxic after dropping back to gold 1 on losing streaks and of course, another permabanned account.
Then I have this account which I have to be extremely cautious with because I'm pretty sure I received a 14-day ban on this account already. How? Because I somehow placed in bronze with a 80% normals match win rate leveling 1-30, winning 10 out of 10 placement games. Frustrating to have near a 60% win rate and not being able to climb because you get the worse trolls on the planet in your promos.
After watching Diamond 1, master and challenger players struggle to carry bronze players, I don't feel as bad. Alas, I made a new account (name won't be revealed unless this account gets permabanned one day, but I will tell you Wukong is in the name lol) and placed S1 with a significantly lower win rate and about 4 losses in promos. On that account, I'm sitting at D5 with 0 LP. Came back to this account for 3 reasons.
1 I love the name "Radiant Wukong" 2 I have a lot of money invested into this account on skins (nowhere near as much as my original account, but still a decent amount) 3 I just earned my 1st 10-game chat restriction on that diamond account and decided I needed a break from that, so... time to start climbing Radiant Wukong.
The road from Bronze to Diamond starts here... unless I rage in promos again and get permabanned. Wish me luck, see you out there on the rift. [slayer-jinx-catface]
