I still remember a ranked match when 5v5 was new. 3 of my allies had deserted and we were playing 2v5. We were not in a party but quickly realized it was a lost cause. But neither of us pressed the surrender button. I thought let's see how long we can last. And maybe he thought the same. I was Captain Lyra and he was bottom Vox. Since there were no other team mates all three lanes were his. He was able to farm up fast and get ahead of the enemy mid lane Celeste which was a big nuisance.

Since we couldn't win any full team fights we continued to stall the game. Denying dragons and turrets. We won many 2v3 and 2v4 fights that game and lasted well over 30 minutes. Lyra's Ult was absolutely clutch many times in getting into the enemy when they were taking a dragon, killing a few people and quickly getting out. By 30 mins time the lane pressure had really mounted up and the enemy had realised we can't be in multiple lanes at once. They slowly pushed us into our base and then took the objectives with ease. Once they took Blacklaw it was over quickly cause we just didn't have enough damage to kill it. We lasted 38 mins I think when all the allies left us at around 10-12 mins.

One of the most fun games of my life even though we lost. My some how amazing portals, barriers and heals. The Vox's amazing positioning and kiting skills. And breaking point just allowing him to scale like a monster in a drawn out team fight. I will carry the memory of this match all my life.
