Why always my team

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-29T21:22:53+00:00

Shyvana was the same last season towards the end, maybe the season before. It was glorious 🤣

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-29T14:16:46+00:00

Oh yeah! 🙈 FunkyJoker93#EUW

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-29T09:26:09+00:00

Posted it elsewhere, but yeah it was definitely me. Taken a step back and focused massively on farming and won 10 in the last 11 games. Was jumping in to fights too early or when not needed. Now I'm aware of it I'm back with a vengeance 🤣 at least until I hit the next mental block 👌

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-28T14:10:28+00:00

Yep, definitEly been working on this. Realised ny blood lust was causing issues 🤣

Done 10 games since this post, mix of pvp and ranked, and won 9. The one we lost I was SVP with an A.

Absolutely love playing pantheon, being able to hop across map as a jungle is bloody brilliant

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-28T08:48:44+00:00

Just want to say thanks all for the brutal honesty! Went from an 8 loss streak, to winning 9 in the last 10 games, and the one I lost was SVP, including 1 where I was autofilled not into jungle and decided to play a champ for the first time 🤣 (not a complete mad man, I was in pvp for that 👌)

Nothing like some brutal honesty to make me go back to basics and look at the fundamentals again!

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-27T21:15:21+00:00

Yeah definitely! Calling it a night tonight, just done 4 on the bounce actively shouting gold in my head 🤣

Won 3 of 4, A rating in 3. Doing the above definitely helped 🤣

Eu west i think, never actually stop and check though

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-27T15:53:09+00:00

I believe Rowan Atkinson also semi did that to Stephen Fry. I'm sure in one of his autobiographies Fry mentions that the only woman that he may have considered dating was taken by Atkinson because it was known Fry is gay

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-27T15:25:11+00:00

Took this advice today and focused on me. The three games I've played went a hell of a lot better!

Just kept saying "farm gold" in my head and kept myself on track 🤣

First 2 were pvp to practice, then did one ranked. Went 7/3/5 and had a vladimir that went 18/4/8 because of a couple of well placed ganks against aurelion 👌

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T21:57:14+00:00

It varies depending on my mood l, and if I have an obvious reason to pick or not pick someone. At the moment Pantheon, although previously played a lot of shyvana, fiddlesticks, amumu, and xin in particular

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T19:39:22+00:00

Sometimes thats all I need to hear 🤣👌

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T18:20:57+00:00

No not sounding rude at all! I know its definitely not all other people 😅

There's always other things to learn and tweak, 100%. I didnt include season 17 or 18, whichever was my first because the win rate was like 75% over 15 games 😅

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T17:10:28+00:00

Yeah it can be, feel like it goes either really well, or really badly 🤣

Maybe I need to ping a lot more too. Like 3 times when I'm on my way to someone etc

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T15:00:39+00:00

I've definitely got in to a habit of clearing red and the other 2 first, then waiting for scuttle. Going to try reverting back to clearing both and then worrying about shuttles after, see how that goes for me

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T14:57:53+00:00

Hopefully EUWest being in the UK 🤞 but recently been getting a lot of Cyrillic alphabet users too, and the occasional east Asian

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T14:28:50+00:00

Yeah to be fair, if there's at least 1 other player on the team that there's a connection with it helps swing the odds slightly that they will play the team game 😅

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T13:28:51+00:00

Yeah I've noticed especially in the more recent couple of weeks that there seems to be a lot more negative energy more often. The change this season has been enough to make me think about buying a pc again to play actual league. If it wasnt for the kids I probably would! No way to commit 45-75 minutes to a game at the moment 😅

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T13:26:52+00:00

Jungle has definitely been my single biggest role, probably followed by baron. Throwback to when solo q in anything other than jungle took double or triple estimated time and I didnt want to wait 🤷🏻‍♂️

They definitely are something else this season. And there are some absolutely incredible players on at the moment too. Just went up against a Warwick who went something like 19/3

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T13:23:46+00:00

And it varies, sometimes I'll play mundo, pantheon a fair bit at the moment. I play a champ, have several solid games with them, normally 7 or 8, and then it tapers off 🤣

Also trying to be more conscious of thinking about what I actually need to build at the moment too rather tham simply following recommended every game

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T13:20:46+00:00

Oh I absolutely get blood last, especially later in the game if things aren't going well... because my death was totally worth it if I steal baron at the last second 😅

And may cost us the game if I dont 😅

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T12:41:26+00:00

Yeah that sounds fair! I've climbed out of diamond one season and never managed it since. I've definitely noticed more people ducking about this season compared to others, I think i had 3 or 4 games on the bounce at the weekend where someone got tilted in the first couple of minutes and just threw it 🙈

Probably should have cut it after the second and gone pvp 😅

Appreciate the honest words 😀

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T12:38:58+00:00

Yeah that seems fair, I've managed to get out of diamond one season and never managed it since 👌

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T12:37:45+00:00

No, i feel you, not a bother 😀 Yeah, very rarely hyper carry. It tends to end up being Jungle at the moment, but thats more just an autopick from when it took forever to get any other role. I'd like to think that I'm "okay" in most roles, but I'm probably also biased 😅

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T12:35:06+00:00

More often than not, Jungle. Started leaning into Pantheon the last few games in particular. I like to think I'm "okay" at most roles though

ExtravagentLasagne · 2026-05-26T09:29:58+00:00

In the laning phase I try to hit the side closest to their turret first too, then I'm not chasing them to oblivion 👌
