Had a pretty amazing game yesterday trying out Elise jungle. It reminded me what's so great about Summoner's Rift, it's so damn FUN. Everything starts off nice enough, their jungle is Fiddlesticks. I wonder if he picked that because he counters Elise or if I counter him since I can counter jungle him hard. If there's one jungler in the whole game who you can predict will get invaded, it's Fiddlesticks. So I decide to do the safe play and take his red. Lissandra takes her sweet time and Janna can't decide if she wants to help or not (what is it with everyone wanting to invade? 3 is enough) that when she gets back in lane she dies to their red invade. The confusion continues as the 3 of us at their red don't all think the same thing, Renekton comes and kills me, feeding him red. Lissandra dies a bit later in lane to Fiddlesticks.
Just like that top and mid are fucked and Fiddlesticks is snowballed. But it doesn't end there, our Diamond Lissandra mid dies again to Fiddlesticks, and again... the snowball at this point is so apparent they're already pushing turrets down hard. I come to cover mid and ... die to Fiddlesticks. Did I mention their mid is Nidalee? Another late game champion that's getting fed. We're just hoping the rape train has breaks at this point, everyone feels how key the next few minutes are. Following another "unexpected" death at mid I'm there to protect the turret when Fiddlesticks uses that to counter jungle me, dive bot and force my bot lane to base, bringing that turret to almost nothing.
By the 16 minute mark we lose all 3 of our outer turrets. We've all seen this movie many times before, a quick fall followed by a slow death. Mid and jungle fed out of their mind, top winning hard and an even bot lane, that did I mention is Vayne? Yeah it's Vayne. She would go on to get 6 items. Except it doesn't happen this time. This is a story of incredible teamfights and making the most of the tiniest advantage. We come back one turret at a time, one kill at a time, one stalled minute at a time. Everyone knows the stakes, you make one mistake and the comeback is over. Their team had incredible late game power: Fiddlesticks, Nidalee, Vayne, Renekton, Taric. My own team told me how much I would suck late game, and we had an unlikely bunch of heroes in Lissandra, Ezreal, Janna and Nasus.
This is the kind of game that featured everything that makes LoL so fun. Feeling like you're pushing your skills to the limits, great teamfights, teamwork from everyone, amazing individual plays, plays and counter plays to make sure the momentum remains on your side and ultimately, a victory. I encourage you to check it out, it was a great one.
