Welcome to the blog that is all about reviewing my own gameplay. I try to break down my mechanics and thought process. The goal of this project is to better myself as a player by constantly holding myself accountable. I will also be recording time stamps so you can follow along in the video.

Early Game
In my opinion my early game could be a lot better. For starters my CS mechanics are sub par most of the time. I continually miss what should be easy creeps. Perhaps turning on the mastery for extra damage on hit would make it easier for me to finish off those pesky minions.
4:23 - We waited for this and still didn't get the kill. I have to make sure I land my abilities when waiting for something like this. On the positive side of things we did force a flash out of the enemy Jinx.
5:02 - Don't be a pussy... Hit any support, especially Thresh, when they put themselves out like that. Punish people more often for being out of position.
5:24 - The double kill that starts here wasn't bad but there is still some things I could have done better. The kills take longer than they needed to be because of misclicking on my end. So improving mechanically with Jinx would help slowly remedy that. Once again missing my skill shots when it counts and because of that I had to flash to get the kill on Jinx.
6:06 - Why in the fuck am I still in lane or pushed up so far... derp
6:11 - I have to wait for Vi, and any champ like her, to use their BIG gap closers before throwing down the chompers. On the bright side of this fail kiting by me the Vi did dive me enough for a kill trade.
8:15 - Communication helped not double ward their tri bush. Got hooked like a scrub but the Thresh went a little too H.A.M. and we were able to burst him down. At this point I'm ahead of the enemy Jinx enough to simply out trade her. I could have possibly kited and positioned better to not lose so much health just in case jungle or mid showed themselves.
9:39 - I need to calm my tits in situations like this. I should have assumed that Thresh was not going to be alone for long. Being cocky and aggressive like this something I need to keep check :D
10:46 - See above time stamp for why this tower is lost. Being over aggressive can lead to negative outcomes like this.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE! - Someday I will be able to hit global ultimates! But it is not this day...

13:30 - We catch Vi in the jungle and this is where we could have had a kill simply if I would have went left instead of right. In the screenshot you can see that if I would have simply went left right away I could have easily cut of Vi and secured a kill.
Mid Game
15:06 - We punish the enemy team for being really greedy. I made sure to cut off Jinx's escape through the bushes with chompers and GG from there.
17:46 - Since they didn't send someone back fast enough to deal with my split push I was able to communicate to my team for a distraction. Basically I just wanted enough time to get the tower. My team didn't even need to get any kills I was just concerned about none of them being allowed to 'B'.
19:50 - I believe in always taken objectives whenever possible. Also at this point we are ahead by nice amount so it is harder for them to fight us for them.
20:25 - I would love to say that this was planned by me but that would be a lie. I got caught out hard but fortunately because we are so far ahead they couldn't capitalize upon it. Zed couldn't even burst down Zyra so he was pretty weak. If I wouldn't have flashed though they most likely would have killed me.
Side note: BEST JINX ULT ON ZED NA!
Final Thoughts
- CS Mechanics
- Control the H.A.M.
- Know when to harass
- Don't waste CC early. Specially when facing gap closers like Vi
- Know when to back out when pushed up with no wards
Alright so that wraps up the first ever critique on here. Please don't hesitate to add your own thoughts to the game in the comments. The whole point of this blog is for discussion of gameplay and how to improve.
Thanks for reading guys and for all your support.
Sincerely,
Nubby
