Starting off, we let Singed proxy on my blueside. In this game, I could’ve called to stack and try killing Singed. If they respect it, he is forced to enter lane vs Vlad at level 1. If he walks in, he has ghost/ignite and it’s a free kill.
Because we let him proxy, I’m forced to stall my clear by and extra 2 seconds respecting him. Not a huge deal but could be under the wrong matchup or situation (vision of me + tracking information + clear disadvantage).
After Rek’Sai died, I NEED to be pinging careful from topside. Since my recall will be slightly delayed, there’s a timer for Rek’Sai to make a gank (especially since she still has flash up).
Since I didn’t say anything, Gangplank ends up killed.
I start taking grubs since I know that Rek’Sai is on the other side of the map. We don’t have prio, but it’s still generally safe.
In this spot, I need to bush out towards top more. This allows me to zone Singed from the river. If he decides to walk in, I can hide Daisy’s summon and kill him (he has no ghost). We still end up killing him, but I’m forced to chase him down to our T2 and we lose the other 2 grubs.
Also by summoning Daisy into this fight without clear intent, I let her get chunked for 600hp. At that point just don’t summon her at all.
Using my remaining Daisy timer, I end up taking half of Rek’Sai’s HP while she’s on raptors. I thought that this would secure me bottom crab, but in the end it just wastes my own time since she has w passive and health potion to regen back to full.
Funnily enough if I just walked directly there I would’ve gotten the crab anyways. What ended up happening was I gave it for free.
I JUST COUNTED AND IT WAS A TOTAL OF 29 SECONDS OF WASTED TIME. THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST PLAY IVE DONE IN A VERY LONG TIME. GAME LOSING IF NOT EMERALDLOW.
Because I gave Rek’Sai river prio from wasting this much time, I also let her get a kill on my ADC. VERY HORRIBLE PLAY. I’M WORSE AT THIS GAME THAN I THOUGHT.
Afterwards I want to fight Rek’Sai on Dragon. She somehow got a level up on me (MAYBE BECAUSE I WASTED 29 SECONDS) but it’s still fightable considering that my botlane is coming off of base and we’re way stronger. That said, this bush is bad.
No matter where I am in the bush, if I have a clear sight of Rek’Sai she can burrow Q anywhere in the bush and it’ll hit me. Burrow Q is 5 seconds of vision so it’s an extreme disadvantage if I end up tagged. This play only ends up working because the enemy team is bad. If they were better I’ve just thrown the whole thing.
Once the fight is done, I use smite to secure the drag. This is bad because it’s my last smite charge and I need 300 gold for item. If I had smite, I could steal a camp, take my krugs, and then back for Cosmic Drive.
–>>>> THIS DELAYS MY BACK BY 49 SECONDS! WTF!!! I AM BAD <<<<–
Also I think I get tilted by how much time I have to waste because WHY DID I Q HIM??? JUST WALK IN? IT’S NOT HARD.
Now let’s get into a fight that I misplayed very very poorly. To start, I let smolder Q during the small downtime between E shields AND also bring the Q towards Rell, giving him a grasp proc and free Dragon Practice. In reality, Daisy being this far up doesn’t even provide anything since we don’t need to create space atm.
From here, I throw Q at the flanking Singed instead of saving it:
This is very bad because my Q is our best engage tool. Rell is currently dismounted so realistically it’s our best shot at getting onto them. Also minus points for letting Daisy run out of the bush (although it’s very hard to keep her there since I have to spam inputs on the bush to keep her from Smolder.
We end up losing the teamfight and the dragon because of this bafflingly incompetent Ivern play.
Overall, I thought I played this okay but after watching I might be the worst player ever.
