Bran's Newbie Adventures in ConquestLand - Episode OneZero

Been a while since my last post. Got lazy, partially...okay, mostly.

I'll quickly summarize everything up to before last night...varying degrees of success, mostly playing and 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 ag

Hmmm, not sure what happened with SmiteGuru, but the site is only showing games as long as 4 days ago, so I don't have links to the games themselves right now.

Summary based on memory...played a couple of matches with clanmates... Support for one or two games with Zilby, Ferrum, and Stuke, (and then added GGF), then we had a nice custom 3v3 match where we got to hear God (aka Ducks) tell his teammates not to suck/die (with a lot of swearing from Stuke, like usual), and finally another Conquest match where Ducks replaced Ferrum.

And that's where I get to talk a bit about my newest experience with .

I've tried playing support a few times in the past, mostly because she's always considered one of the strongest guardians, and I need all the help I can get. Historically, I've royally sucked with her...wasn't good at timing with my ult, was too aggressive early and died multiple times, etc.

This one was played after getting generally comfortable with the support rol…

Although the last post and this one have been posted on the same day, a week passed between the games mentioned then and now.

Last post saw me try Mid for the first time, and we'll see yet another role played this time, though, well, you'll see.

4 games, 4 different gods, and playing with 4 clanmates...These were all with Stuke, Ferrum, Taco, and Ducks.

Group Queue Game 1: Support

Not much to say about this one, game-wise. Their Support never showed, and they surrendered at 7 minutes.

The thing I WILL talk about is how I don't like . I'm sure his passive is great late-game, but I just don't like his gameplay. He's so passive in comparison to , that I feel I'm doing nothing most of the time. To be fair, I'll give him another chance later, but he's not likely going to be a normal pick for me. 's kit is way more fun and fits my playstyle much better.

Finished 0/0/1.

Group Queue Game 2: Support

Okay, I totally know how to play him in Arena. I …

Long(ish) time, no talk. Let's catch up.

First, a quick summary of some conquest matches, in order, to see how things have been going:

Solo Queue Khepri Support: 3/7/10 (Loss @ 34 minutes)
Solo Queue Khepri Support: 1/2/5 (Win @ 14 minutes)
Solo Queue Khepri Support: 2/4/7 (Loss @ 22 minutes)
Group Queue Khepri Support: 3/0/3 (Win @ 16 minutes, Bullfrog as ADC, Prism as Jungler)

Oooh, some new stuff?

Group Game: Solo

Finally something new to talk...oh...0/0/0. Defeat @ 5 minutes. This was another game with Bullfrog and Prism, but unfortunately, Prism lost power in his house and couldn't get back into the game. 0 kills 0 deaths from both teams, but we surrendered as soon as we could.

Group Game: Mid

Okay, let's try that again...Finally something new to talk about! Unfortunately, the results weren't good. Got to play Mid, I think for the first time (I might have played Mid a loooong time ago when I didn't know what I was doing, but I can't remember).

Bullfro…

I've been trying to branch out just a bit more. Played a couple of Clash matches recently as (she's super fun, but I need lots of practice)...I'm at least even K/D but should be doing a lot more damage. 3 games went 11/10/4, 7/7/6, 1/1/1.

Also played some more Joust matches as (I'm still not very good at Joust). Went 7/3/5, 6/7/7, and 1/3/6.

But anyway, back to Conquest. Over the past few days I've gotten a few games in. At this point, I'm definitely not a game-changer, but I'm also not (usually) a detriment to my team anymore, even when playing with people I don't know. I don't feel like I'm the weakest member of the team, which is something.

Support games:

1/1/2 (Loss: Surrender @ 11 minutes) - Most of the team was losing pretty badly. They gave up.
0/0/6 (Win: Surrender @ 16 minutes) - Eh, don't remember much about this one.
2/5/4 (Loss: Surrender? @ 30 minutes) - Whole team got demolished. Think my score is bad? My ADC and I did better than the rest o
