Goroh·10/1/2017, 9:42:11 PM·2 votes·414 views

And you're competing against other local teams for a first place prize of $1000

Your team consists of 5 players, (yourself included) and here is the list to choose from of people you know: You are limited to 1 Diamond Player


Silver III Jungler - Mains LeeSin , and Elise . Accuracy isn't all there, but has a broad understanding of each champions kit and can "Flashkick" and "Insec" with LeeSin .


Gold I Top - Champion pool consists of purely tanks, but can also play Jayce if a bruiser is needed. Favourite Champions are (Maokai , Nautilus , Sion ). Excels in teamfights, and isn't easy to solo kill in lane.


**Diamond V Support - ** Mains Rakan , and Nami . His playstyle has him leaving bot lane frequently to roam mid, get deep wards, and roam with the Jungler. Good for having a secure bottom side of the map, but if your adc isn't experienced he will get punished.


Bronze II Mid/Top - Only plays Teemo, but has lane mechanics similar to a Platinum II player. Doesn't climb because while he stomps with Teemo, he never groups or pushes his leads and instead just keeps trying to solo kill players. Good for tilting and suppressing enemy top laners with bad mindsets. He's also hilarious as f*ck.


Platinum IV Mid - Zed One trick, can get early advantages against match-ups he counters, doesn't fold under pressure when counter picked, but struggles playing other mid laners, (Can also play Ekko , but loses to most counter match ups)


**Silver IV ADC - ** Struggles with early game champions, and has a "Farm 'til 20min" playstyle. Once he hits 3 or so items he starts to deal good dps, but lacks foresight on important abilities that might catch him in a fight. Favourite champs are (Ashe , Varus , Caitlyn )


**Silver II ADC - ** Plays lane bullies, good at punishing mistakes and zoning. His aggressive playstyle allows him to take opportunities that more passive ADC's would miss. Very easy to gank, and if he loses hard he tilts hard. Plays (Lucian , Vayne , Draven )


**Gold V Support - ** Very strong lane presence, good at protecting his ADC and getting aggressive plays. Primary plays tanks (Leona , Alistar , Braum ) Can also play Blitzcrank , and Thresh but has sub 50% winrate on them in solo Q.


** Gold III Jungler/Mid - ** Specializes in assassin's. Great at getting in the right position to take out high level threats and make a good get away. Very feast or famine, if his ganks go well he snowballs hard. If he gets behind he will stay behind until late game. Plays (Diana , Talon , Khazix , Rengar ) And excels at Shaco .


** Diamond IV Jungler -** Plays team oriented champions (JarvanIV , Vi , RekSai , Rammus ) Though he is Diamond IV, his playstyle relies on playing extremely passive and only going for optimal ganks. Can carry on Vi and Rek'sai, but is much better at being a team player. Very easily invaded if not helped.


**Platinum V Top/Mid - ** Can play a very mean Olaf andDarius , loves going for summoner 12 plays bot lane on Olaf, but opts out of TP and players Darius with summoner 4 summoner 6 . Can carry a team hard early on, but often tends to fall off late game. With mid his secondary, he plays Orianna and Lux .


Bronze I ADC - Only plays Twitch and KogMaw , once farmed to 2 items he can really pack a punch. Has played for 5 years but only started ranked this season. Great mechanics, bad game knowledge. If protected well enough he can carry a teamfight hard.


** Gold II Mid - ** Plays all mages, but struggles off of AP champions. Doesn't have a specific GO-TO pick, but has a large champion pool which consists of Anivia ,Cassiopeia , Karthus , Lux , Malzahar , Orianna , Syndra , TwistedFate , Veigar , Viktor . VERY feast or famine. Bad map awareness, but late game always shows up to hit hard.


** Silver I Top - ** Plays primarily late game gods like Jax , Gangplank , Nasus , Tryndamere , and Irelia . Doesn't do well when on a tank champion, and is the "Dive in now, think later" type of teamfighter. If ahead he can do some serious work in fights, but if behind will normally stick to his lane and farm up until he can do work.


** Gold V ADC/Support/Mid - ** She's your "Star Guardian Gal", plays champions (MissFortune , Jinx , Janna , Syndra , Lux , Lulu , Soraka ) Plays very defensive and is hard to force out of lane, because of this herself or her ADC if she's support, tend to get really good CS and have a better time keeping control over objectives. Keeps team morale high, but will tilt if continuously ganked and killed.


Diamond V Mid - Excels at champions Viktor , Ryze , and Swain . Has a very strong head and plays a very tactical game. Game knowledge is exceptionally high, and is incredibly hard to kill. His close range mage pool leaves him open to get zoned by control mages, and if focused correctly wont be able to inpact a teamfight well, but if not pressured he will wipe a teamfight clean.


Platinum III Top - Plays Riven , Yasuo , Fiora and Akali. Has exceptional mechanics and is very hard to duel. Normally takes summoner 3 or summoner 14 over summoner 12 . 80% of the time gets a solo kill at level 6 and then roams. Easy to gank, but can escape or turn for a 1 for 1 kill if not played correctly. If killed a lot in lane can tilt VERY HARD, and will often consider his deaths or getting camped the match being over.


Platinum IV ADC/Support - Very good bot lane both ADC and Support. Plays ADC's Ezreal Varus and Jhin and Support's Thresh Sona and Taric . Great team player and has played on a 5 man team before. Likes to roam often on support and will often have his ADC shove so he can play safe until he returns. As an ADC likes to play passive-aggressive, prioritizing farm, and going for aggressive opportunities if they seem good, though can be outplayed. Has a strong late game.


** Silver III Everywhere Man -** Was Diamond in Season 3, but had to stop playing because of Univesity. Returning this season, he still has great game knowledge and can adapt very fast. He has a passive playstyle and likes to control his lanes and set up for objectives. Decent early game and decent late game, but doesn't have a specific thing he excels at, and still isn't mechanically all back. Likes to play Rumble Trundle Vladimir Renekton Fizz Graves Kayn Nunu Ahri Garen Lucian Janna Brand and Velkoz .


**Diamond V Top - ** Plays MonkeyKing Shen Gnar GragasGalio , Can get very far ahead on MonkeyKing against a bad laner, but opts out of summoner 12 for him. On the other champions he plays a controlled lane and farms well until he sees an opportunity to TP gank. Good for having a solid lane top, but normally doesn't get aggressive enough to get leads. Can be baited into ganks, but overrall is hard to kill, and a great teamfighter, suppressing high threats with ease.


Diamond V ADC - Very headstrong laner. Plays champions Tristana Ashe MissFortune and Xayah . Excels most at split pushing and killing anyone who comes to stand in his way alone. Normally wont group until he hits his 3rd or 4th item. If ganked by 2 or more people he will be able to escape if in the right spot, but more than often will die, leaving your team open to be 4v5'd. Once max build can swipe an entire team in fights and is a completely unkillable monster. though if their is not enough peel, he can get pounced on and deleted very quickly. If put behind is easily tilted.


** Gold I Jungler/Support -** Main's champions Ivern and Zilean . Great at ganks and great for keeping important carries alive. Tends to be good at securing objectives and keeping his allies alive, but if alone or invaded is incredibly easy to kill and get fed off of. Good for objective control and peel.


** Gold II Jungler -** Play's very strong early game champions like Nidalee LeeSin Elise and Khazix . Loves to invade and is very good at picking off enemy jungler and getting away. Spends more time in the enemy jungler than in his own, and is great at clearing, allowing him to gank lanes frequently. Can carry on his champions when fed, but eventually falls if the other team has a lot of cc.


There is your list to choose from, now build your roster. And provide your game plan to beat the team above. So i'll start Top - Myself as the only Diamond player, I'm a Gangplank one-trick, I normally farm until triforce then try to roam as much as possible, when i hit level 6 i always look for where i can use my ult, i'm very hard to solo kill, but i struggle against other Diamond Riven sIrelia s and Nasus . but more often than not i can out play the majority of laners and net myself a kill, i go lethality crit build, so if left unchecked i can seriously blow teams apart in fights. my weakness is an ADC that focus's on my barrels, but that leaves them open to get hit from elsewhere. Jungler - I would have to pick the Gold I Jungler/Support, his Ivern would be very useful for keeping myself and others alive in fights, and his control would help me from getting camped hard. Mid Lane - I'd have to go with the Gold II Mid and have him play a more safe and team oriented champion, like Malzahar , even if he gets killed or behind we would have the late game power to get picks and quickly come back. ADC - I would choose the Gold V Star Guardian Gal, her playstyle compliments our mid game pop-off comp. Having a safe ADC would ensure we can survive an early game onslaught, and transition well into mid/late game. and if she's killed a lot i'll still be able to pack consistent high AD DPS. Her Jinx traps would also help self-peel and help get picks Support - I'll take the Platinum IV ADC/Support that has played on a 5 man before, he's the perfect fit for the rest of the team, even though he and my ADC both can be dumped on by aggressive laners, my Ult can save them or even turn a fight if they're in trouble, him and Ivern could get really aggressive roams out on mid and they enemy jungle, and help secure objectives and vision control well. I'd have him play Taric for even more teamfight power.

So there is my roster Gangplank Ivern Malzahar Jinx Taric , Build your roster and explain your game plan against the team above.

I want that Bronze II Teemo main for my toplaner. He sounds untiltable, and could very well help my team stop from being tilted. If I can get him to split-push, or at least be a huge enough threat to draw attention, that'll be good enough for me. Just realized that the team had me on it. Derp. I'll take the Silver I top on the stronger of Nasus, Jax, or Irelia.

Give me that Silver IV ADC on Ashe, and that that Gold V support on Blitz. That's a terrifying combo against anyone but a Sivir/Morgana, on-par with Kog/Lulu. It also has few weaknesses.

Jungler, I want a team-oriented guy. I want that Gold I jungler for that, preferably on Ivern, or perhaps Shen.

And that leaves me mid. On my Ahri, with a possibility of late-game Karthus or Morgana, among some others.


So that leaves my team as Nasus Ivern Ahri Ashe Blitzcrank, top/jg/mid/adc/bot. That's one CC-heavy team...

So...Olaf's an instant ban, there, 'cause he'd absolutely fuck us. Morgana is also out.

No Diamond players on the team, but I like the comp and synergy far better than simply having raw skill.

Alright. That leaves our strategy. I'm Ahri against any non-assassin, and I'm very confident I'll win lane, especially on her. Unfortunately, my roaming leaves tons to be desired, as it rarely even happens. Thankfully, our team is solid regardless of my roaming. If I'm against an assassin that isn't named Katarina, I'll swap to Morgana, which has even less roaming power, but has the advantage of never losing lane to an assassin. If I'm on Ahri, I can split easily. If I'm on Morgana, I'm with the team.

Blitz and Ashe is a strong combination, and I've been that ADC, so I know that Blitz can make a late-game player strong in early. Bot's secured, as long as they aren't camped. And even if they are camped, they'll still have a field day, since they're suicidal to dive.

I have jg on Ivern because he's hard to invade. Very hard. And I'll be able to collapse on whoever does try to invade him.

Top's the only weakness I see in this comp. But Ivern should handle his weaknesses pretty easily.

Mid game, Nasus'll be Nasusing, and the rest of us'll be grouped mid. 1/4/0 for the lanes. Late game, when I have my Gunblade and 45% CDR, we'll run it 1/3/1, as Ahri's actually a good split-pusher, and impossible to lock down. Ivern, Blitz, and Ashe should be enough of a threat unto themselves to be mid. If need be, though, our team-fighting comp is also good, so we'll be able to run it down with 5 or 1/3/1. Objective control is in the bag, and we shouldn't be losing any lane but top at the worst.


Edit: I realized I said I'd both ban and pick Morgana. Instead, we'll ban Morg, Olaf, Cho'gath, Darius, and Talon, and I can opt into Diana instead of Ahri if we're against Zed. I'm not too worried about any other assassins as Ahri.

im assuming plat is lower than diamond (i honestly dont know, i only know cuz u have plat and said only 1 diamond) TOP: Gold 1 top, (the sion, mao, that guy) reliable so you always have someone not behind is nice, plus good peel champs JG: gold 2 jungler, the kha / lee one MID: Diamond 5 mid, the viktor / swain guy ADC: Gold 5 adc, (the SG one) someone near my level so we dont try to rely on eachother catching up to one another SUPPORT: Me just about silver 1, i play rakan, F YOU ASSASINS

overall reasoning jungler has great early (kha) top wont fall behind and has great peel (sion) my adc is on my level so we will see eye to eye (rakan) our mid (viktor) can turn a teamfight around when i get good engages as rakan great teamfights and everyone can 1v1 duel pretty well, miss fortune viktor me combo's are just another juicy surprise overall comp visual Sion Khazix Viktor MissFortune Rakan
