I'll quickly summarize everything up to before last night...varying degrees of success, mostly playing
Khepri and 
Athena in the Support role, though I've had a couple of deviations:
Freya ADC: went 2/2/2 in a 13 minute enemy surrender. Although GBow was already removed, still found myself, alongside Taco as 
Sobek, being pressured and pushed back under the tower by the enemy 
Ah Muzen Cab and 
Aphrodite. Interesting combo there, but they definitely had better early game presence. Thankfully, Zilby was destroying in the Solo lane, and his 6/1/1 score, alongside the teamwork of Prism (
Nemesis) and Ducks (
Nu Wa in her new volleyball outfit) destroyed the enemy team's hopes of a win.
Bacchus Support: went 1/1/8 in a 22 minute enemy surrender. This was the 2nd time I played him in Conquest, and this time, I heeded the advice of a more conservative early game. Jaberg as 
Rama and I held our own in the Duo lane against 
Apollo and 
Ymir, while GGF (
Janus), Taco (
Osiris) and Ducks (
Arachne got the better (barely in some cases) of their counterparts. Solid game all-around.
Guan Yu Support: went 3/1/6 in a 12 minute enemy surrender. This one only had Zilby (
Thor Jungle) and Ducks ( Freya ADC) with me, with 2 solo-queuers. I always feel like I should be so tanky with Guan Yu, and it almost got me demolished early. I had been concentrating on getting my stacks of 
Painless up on the minion wave for enhanced healing for Ducks and I, which left me exposed to the enemy Sobek and 
Skadi. I had to use my horsie ult to save myself, at least once or twice. I also absolutely stole kills...my total player damage was 1,861, while everyone else was around 5k or higher, lol. Oops. Thankfully, Ducks is a forgiving type of guy. So was our 
Anubis, who was great at rotating for ganks at opportune times. In any case, I'll be playing more of Guan in the future...he's fun.
And that brings us to last night. 2 games, 2 drastically different results.
Group Queue Game 1:
Athena SupportThis was an ugly one for me. 0/7/7. Ouch. I did Zilby, as
Anhur, no favors whatsoever. Granted, he was horribly laggy in the early going (was jumping all over the place and missing basics on minions and enemies as a result), but I was apparently way too aggressive for the situation. Talked with the group after this one, and went over my simplistic thought process...for example, I'd see 3-4 enemies bunched up in a teamfight, and would taunt them all, recognizing only my ability to actually grab them all. That'd be great to sacrifice myself if the rest of my team was getting demolished and trying to escape, but that wasn't the case. Instead, it got me quickly destroyed, leaving the rest of my team without a tank and peel potential.Taco did well as
Erlang Shen, going 11/3/4, but overall, our team just got outmatched and pushed back, losing the Gold Fury multiple times. I expect a lot of this was my fault. I mean, how long can that damn 
Fafnir stay in his stupid dragon form anyway?!?In the past month, I've really not done very well with
Athena. I love her kit...the mobility, the slightly higher damage potential compared to Khepri, and her superior dash...but I just seem not to use it correctly. I feel really useless if we're being outpushed early. I need to get close to the wave to use her 3, but that exposes me to damage from the enemy. I use my dash too much to initiate, when I should be saving it as an escape...just things like that.I'll go into the next game I choose her with this in mind, and try to adjust my playstyle to get better results, but I may have found another god that I prefer even more, and whose kit I'm vastly more experienced with...
Group Queue Game 2:
Bacchus SupportOkay, this one was better all around. It started off pretty badly...Taco got out-dueled in a mirror match as
Erlang Shen in Solo, creating a HUUUUGE level and damage disparity. He definitely wasn't happy with his early game, but he came back later, recovered from tilting, to help the team and make up for the early going.I should also note...this was an extremely weird enemy team comp. 4 physical gods, with an unusual pair of
Loki ADC and 
Fenrir Support.Ducks (
Jing Wei) and I, as expected, were able to pressure the enemy Duo early, keeping their health low and the minions pushing the tower.That enemy Erlang was the big reason it took us so long to win. Huge damage (over 50k), tanked over 100k (!?!?!)...geez. He kept us all pressured until we were able to catch up in build and level. If the enemy ADC was more standard, the outcome might have been different.
That said, even playing stupid sometimes, I went 8/6/24, with over 23k damage, getting roughly the same damage as Prism (
Bastet) and Taco. Definitely more comfortable with his kit, and I love the increased damage output. I probably should have gone more tanky though...I ended up getting 
Rod of Tahuti last just because I was having so much fun, to go with my 
Shoes of the Magi and 
Spear of the Magus.A shout out to Zilby, who, as
Ra, showed us his sniping ability, especially in the last 5 minutes, as he probably racked up 5-10 kills just in that time. Through the walls, whatever. I call wall-hack.
Oh, and sorry for going after that GF, Ducks. =P
