IGN: Gaspump
Rank: Plat 5
Position: Toplane
Top 5 champs: Trundle, Pantheon, Irelia, Kennen, Nautilus.
Why those champs: Each of these champions fills a different niche to cater to a wide variety of team compositions. I have well over 100 games lifetime on each of them, and am absolutely comfortable locking them in at any time.
More specifically; Trundle is my go to blind pick for toplane. Trundle has very few matchups that he can't at least survive, and his ability to get early solo kills vs unwary players can set me up to snowball my advantage toplane and become an unkillable force of nature by the time midgame rolls around.
Pantheon is the champion I lock when I have a counterpick into a favorable matchup and intend to blow the game wide open right out the gate. In organized play his weaknesses can be more readily exposed of course, but there are a handful of matchups where pantheon can utterly remove the enemy toplaner from the game and take that lead to other lanes to close out games quick and cleanly.
Irelia excels as a shit-disturber. I play her with the mindset of "survive and play extremely safe until I find an advantage" after which her ability to statball enemy champions and threaten the backline in teamfights lets me dive in with impunity.
Kennen serves as my go-to teamfight mage. I'm kinda trash at rumble, but Kennen serves a similar niche while usually being a LOT more reliable. I look for the TP flank or the flash ult opportunity whenever I can.
Nautilus is my most played "tank" toplaner. Even though he's beefy, Nautilus can output a VERY surprising amount of damage, which can open up big advantages in toplane.
Why you want to be apart of this team: I've been on a number of competitively focused teams, and I've got the itch for organized LoL again. I believe that my experience as a player, shotcaller and coach would be beneficial to any team I'm a part of.
Experience: Multiple plat level rank teams, Coaching for Diamond level amateur teams (Inhouse leagues and circuits)
Something about yourself: I ended season 1 at 768 ELO. I've gotten better since then.
Availability: I can tailor my schedule to the team's needs.
