Weird match. Enemy team had 4 physical gods. Ours was balanced, but only for the first 5 minutes or so...then our Kali dropped. She DID try to come back...but immediately dropped again, and we never saw her after that.
A fairly early Witchblade really helped me soak up damage. I really wish our Bacchus didn't start Soul Reaver and got Sovereignty instead. Our entire team seemed to have major issues healing up, and Sov would have helped that.
In any case, my penta came a few minutes before we finished the match. They had just finished our Phoenix and we had been pushed back all the way to our titan. It took me a span of about 30 seconds to get them all, and I didn't actually realize I had gotten the Penta until I heard "congratulations!" or something like that, in...I think it was Freya's voice? I don't know, I didn't have my speakers on, or my headphones on my head...just barely heard it whispering from the headphones.
Funny enough, it's taken me 2+ years to get it. I'm usually not an aggressive player, except when I play Freya...or maybe Bacchus... I almost got one about 2 months into first playing, but my nephew, the one who got me to play in the first place, accidentally stole it from me while I was playing Kali. I was right there too, and he just got last hit. He was rightfully horrified.
Anyway...about time. Whew.
Yeah, as I said at the end of the blog, I almost had a penta 2 or so months into first playing...nephew stole it from me. Makes my penta all the sweeter...maybe this is a bit like what the Cubs are feeling? (lol no)
Meanwhile, I can't even manage a quadra.
It's not just about skills and getting last hits, it has to get the correct setup :
All their players needs to be somewhat near and willing to fight (instead of retreating) for a moment.
Then, you need to play a god that has the penta potential.
I mean, yeah of course any god could theorically deal a penta ... but if you see one dealt by Khepri or Geb, please take a screenshot.
Then, your skills come to play.
And finally, hope your team don't try to steal it from you.
The first point is the most important, and its the reason why I have plenty (20+) of quadra but only 1 penta.
And like Bran, it was in Assault, with an hyper carry god ( Artemis).
