smurfs

Rat's my most comfortable jungle pick. I don't even know who my 2nd most comfortable pick would be. So I went Rat.

First game, we won, and I went 7/6/10, but that score is 100% deceiving. I did the lowest damage on my team by far. Again, I'm okay on very early rotations, but I just have no sense of appropriate times to engage as a jungler, when to be aggressive, etc. I almost got a couple early kills (or at least almost helped secure), but my first 2 deaths (maybe more?) were straight up due to Poseidon ults.

After those deaths, I was playing very passively. I was extremely wary around Pos. As you can see, he was carrying his team. Forced me to get Ancile as my first protection item. Lucky for me, my team was fairly dominating, no thanks to me.

In the 2nd game, well...I don't know if I was better or worse. A lot of factors I'm considering here. I went 7/8/5. It was a 35% longer game. I did 60% more damage. But that's not really saying much when my damage the first game was so low...and it was still very low here.

I was already thrown off from the first game, and just amazed I got Jungle again, lol...not being in my right head, it was about 2 minutes into the match when I was like...why the hell are my rotations so bad, and why am I getting hurt so much and not healing up? At the start, my mid (Freya) said she wasn't going to be helping my buff camp clear, so it was already slower from that. But guess what? I comPLETELY forgot to pick up Assassin's Blessing. LOL.

Anyway, the Mercury was messing up any flow I might have had. The Zeus was messing up Freya. We had issues overall. You can see by Merc's score that, as far as I evaluate it, one main reason for our loss is because I let him outplay me and it really hurt my teammates. Just remember, I DIDN'T CHOOSE THIS!!!

At a certain point our Chaac asked if I had done anything the entire game. Then he spammed VGS on me..."Follow Me! You Rock! Cancel that!" Then he spammed the map ping, and then used his ult in my vicinity. Screw you, Chaac.

Anyway, rough game.

Next match. Oh look, I'm carry, and that Chaac is now on the OTHER team (along with his 2 buddies).

The early matchup had me ( Medusa) and Salad ( Athena) against an Aphro and Set duo. Holy hell I didn't know that could be so annoying. Early game had me down on KD...having 2 gods that can teleport (Set & Da Ji) made it pretty difficult when I was alone. Really, really helped when Salad was around to peel.

Went 9/9/12 (not great), had 2nd highest damage on the team (guess that's sorta okay but expected).

With everyone going pretty squish, I opted to go into Trans crit (I chose the Trans route at the start). At least I did better than my Rat games. Shows the difference in my comfort level. Also helped with Salad actually trying XD. And very happy that Chaac and his buddies lost.

Then I got Carry again, but figured I'd let Salad carry. I went Ganesha support. Don't know what our Janus and King Arthur were doing...Janus only did ~4k more damage than me, and Arthur only ~2k, and they barely participated in any fights.

This specifically shows my comfort zone. 1/3/24 (25 kill participation, next highest was Salad at 20), 32,583 taken / 60,776 mitigated. And when I'm comfortable and not having to think as much, I remember to drop wards =P

Also, ignore the Anhur's build...he was trying until basically the end when he got fed up, trolled and then sold most of his items.
