Ah the glory of League.

Sometimes the game is so inviting. You play your warm up game and have a nice lovely team that may make a few mistakes here and there, but overall you're all doing pretty well. You go on to win a couple more games. Maybe you lose a few, but the match was hard fought and you are proud of your performance.

Then days like this come. You get into the first game, and notice the enemy team has a diamond premade in it. But you're only silver mmr, and one of the players on your team is actually bronze 3! Perhaps they were diamond in 3's! Or perhaps they're playing on shitty hotel wifi in a 3rd world country somewhere. You take early drag, you get a few successful ganks.. then you look bot lane, and they're 0-6, with no turrets, 3 mia enemies, and they're overextended with no vision, fighting the fed janna/Caitlyn. Obviously that goes super well, and they end up 0-8! They swear we can win the game, so theres no forfeit on the horizon.

You brush it off, everyone has bad games, and today isnt going to be a shit show!

Next game looks good. your team looks solid, but you notice your adc has just switched from Miss fortune, to a kalista. But kalista's alright, we see her banned in lcs, and if theres any elo like the lcs, its probably low silver!

Game goes on, and you're poppin off in jungle. You got first blood, you got top's summs in the first minute of play time, you EVEN made sure to gank bot early and give them a good 2-0 lead to play the game with. Enemy jungler is bronze, so you're finally feeling like the matchmaking system is working in your favor. He's barely farming, you have a pink ward watching him get juked by scuttles mechanics in the river. Then while you're killing your wolf pit, your malzahar runs it down mid and eats a few turret shots. Enemy vel koz capitalizes and gets a kill. Suddenly your wolf pit turns into a mosh pit EDM concert of Question mark pings from an enraged malzahar. He's flaming hard, but you keep your cool, and plan to gank his lane. You get vision of the enemy jungler top, and your top laner gets a 1 v 2 double kill. Attaboy Things are finally looking up.

[garen-swing]

The enemy mid laner flashes and you see red. As if you were playing warwick and the red trails of movement speed appeared right before your eyes. You sprint to mid, flash the vel koz knock up and start wailing on him.

[darius-angry]

One Auto Two Three

He hits a slow on you, but you have your flip ready.

[sg-shisa]

You throw that bastard over your shoulder in range of Malzahar ult, then you bite him so hard that his healthbar shrinks to an invisible speck of red.

Malzahar stands still, staring into the distance. Perhaps contemplating life and all its miracles. Maybe his microwave went off and he had to wedge himself from out his chair to wobble his tiny legs down the stairs to grab his hotpocket.

[sg-lulu]

A wild enemy jungler appears, knocking you up and allowing vel koz to get out of auto distance. You attack the minion wave, but your ult's lightning runs out just as the last minion goes down.

The enemy jungler is as bronze as can be, but it doesnt take an LCS pro to point in the general direction of your opponent. He hits Q and slides through, another knockup, and though his health is going down, you can tell you're going to lose this race.

A sunlight yellow butterfly floats past malz, his purple hood reflecting the beautiful glow from its wings. Malzahar remains a statue. A still frame of a man that is no longer an image of his former self.

[sg-jinx]

Finally he takes a step. He has ult. He has flash. He has a full lifebar, and you have a dream.. Then he walks back to his tower.

The enemy jungle gets a shut down on you. In frustration you let out one ping of "?."

"Sorry I was watching LCS"

The team is enraged. Everyone saw it happen, as if the game stopped and everyone took a moment to glance mid lane to see your gank in all its glory.

Malzahar feels targeted, and proceeds to afk farm for the next 10 minutes, denying any opportunity to forfeit.

your team becomes frustrated with each other in this 4 v 5 situation, words like arrows black out the sky ( cliche ), and clog the chat box.

-- Enemy jungler begins talking massive shit in chat, you mute him before you get banned.

The game ends. Perhaps today isnt your day, Maybe this just isnt your game anymore.

Light on the horizon. Volibear buffs are on the way. [sg-soraka]
