Best ARAM Ever

So earlier I played what is probably the best ARAM I will ever play. We randomized an okay team, but we had no poke champions (which is pretty bad for Howling Abyss). We figured if we could survive til 6 there wouldn't be any issues... until we loaded in and saw the enemy team. Ziggs, Xerath, Zyra, Fiddlesticks, Twisted Fate. LOL. So after a horrendous level 3 in which we all stood under tower wishing we had never loaded in, we decided as a team we were done. So we all walked back to the fountain and just waited - dance party and all.

At this point the other team got really cocky. They started calling us names and, after taking our inhibitor, started poking us under fountain. I think they forgot that they were still only level 4, with only a 2 kill advantage and poor mobility (which they hadn't even spent gold on at this point since none of them had died). At this point our gnar got sick of them poking us under fountain so he just went in on them. The rest of our team followed up and hilariously enough we aced them.

Still imagining that we lost, I did my best to stack several Tears on katarina while Fiora did the same. Normally I would never do something like this, but our team was so collectively fed up that we had essentially agreed as 5 that this game wasn't worth trying.

Anyways, to cut a long story short, after acing them a second time despite having 4 tears in my inventory as Katarina we decided to actually try, bought real items, and ended up winning the game. At the end of the game we dubbed it the "pretend to quit" strategy and after having a good laugh at the expense of the other team in post-game (we kept it civil!) moved on.

Anyone else have a great story like this? Honestly I never imagined I could have fun in an aram against a composition like the one they had. It's entirely beyond me how we managed to win at all.
