I always heard that rankeds are stressful and people do every thing to win and bla bla bla. I thought people were complain unnecessarily. They were right. Now let's talk about the match
First match: Introducing you the rankeds
picks and bans
Starting with picks and Bans. I want to complain that at least in xbox we have few seconds to request the role, choose the god you are planing and ask one god to ban. Plz Hi-Rez put some extra seconds. Whatever, I could only select my role, SOLO, 'cause I intended to play with Nike, but I couldn't show it to my team or ask for a ban due time ran out.
The first ban of my team were (thankfully) Achilles (I'm not obligated to play against a ridiculous god like this), and the enemy was Da Ji. The second ban, while everyone were expecting He Bo, the guy baned Janus (I started do say every bad word you can imagine to this guy who were baning) and the enemy team banned Ullr.
What does it mean? My team got a Thoth and surprisingly (or not) the enemy got an He Bo. By this time I didn't want to play anymore :v . Also they got an Khepri and my team a Terra as a support.
Next bans were Nemises (my team) and Cu Chulainn (enemies). The last two bans were Hachiman (my team) and Cerberus (enemies) (they should be really afraid of the solo lane).
Last picks of my team were Ravana as Jungler, Medusa as ADC and for last me, Nike as Solo. The enemies were Serqet as Jungler, Bellona as Solo (When he locked her I started to think how f***ed I was) and SURPRISINGLY one Poseidon, as an ADC we thought.

the game
The game started and I started with of couse Warrior's Blessing and the first step to Breastplate of Valor, since Bellona is a freaking horse, I imagined that she will be aggressive and will try to put some pressure in my *** at early game, 'cause late game I will be hard to kill.
And I was right. She tried to put all of those big weapons on me. Thankfully Nike has a good wave clear so I didn't got to much pressure and also didn't loose money with minions being killed by my tower. Something that I felt that were making her really angry was the fact I clear the wave as fast as her and when she comes to poke me, I just retreat to my tower and all the life she took were restored until the new minions wave. So all her efforts were nothing, plus I was laughing at her face, with the emote, on xbox, ->,X,B,X (I know it's wrong but I couldn't resist, she goes hit me cast all the skills and when the minions come my life is restore due Plan of Action's Passive), it was just an retribution to her laughs when I received ganks and on early game when I couldn't clear the wave as faster as her.
Serqet tried to gank me twice but even they two together couldn't take all my life plus Sentinel of Zeus. I only died on the third gank when they two plus Poseidon
come to kill me. At least I killed Bellona.
While Solo Lane were as amazing as ever (I'm being ironic), The Thoth which has the best skin to him, Chibi, was putting nice pressure on Poseidon, yes he was the mid,
not He Bo, He Bo was the """ADC""". Thoth also killed Serqet on her ganks (Jesus, this Serqet was so fu**ing bad).
Although solo and mid were balanced, the duo were suffering. My friend that was the Medusa was saying bad words and complains all the time such as: "F***ing supid broken god", "Look at this, it's so broken, I hate you", "there is no way to play he is so broken", "this support is so stupid, your motherf***er", "I hate this game, I will stop playing it", "F*** this guy, YOU MUST BE SO STUPID TO LET HE BO OPEN AND BAN A F***ING JANUS, I HATE THIS SUPPORT (when he died for the fourth time to He Bo)" (The support was the guy who banned). I was laughing a lot but with respect. The things only got better when we group up. EDIT: I forgot to say that we were in a private xbox live party chat, so no one listened to it except me and my friend. Also he asked politely some help to Ravana and he answered positively. This before the level 5. After it, Ravana helped him stay alive pushing enemies back with some ganks and the match continued like a normal conquest.

the end of the match
Finally the match was ending. We did all the objetives, won the most part of team fights, the enemies simply can't kill me due my ulti+my defenses+life regen and everything was good.
The play of the match, the one that let us win, was this: All the enemies (except Bellona who was fighting with me in front line) went to kill Thoth and Medusa at back line, but I predicted it so I jumped at the probable location and I hit all of them, then my friend ult when they were in the air and when they reached the ground, they were petrified. We focused He Bo and Poseidon, the main damages, then Serqet. All died. Then we went to the titan, where we killed both, bellona and khepri and we won the game :)
So resuming this long history: I thought I would be fu**ed by bellona but I wasn't,
Don't let He Bo open, he fu**ed with my duo, but we fu**ed with their mid and jungler,
we did an excellent play and won the game. The end :)

The mistakes of the match
- The first mistake here was the fact that the Duo lane were needing help and the jungler wasn't helping as he should. He ganked only twice or three times. Instead he was stealing the enemy jungle. Remembers junglers, it's your job lowing the pressure in lanes, so if someone is suffering you should go help, you don't even need to kill just do some damage to force enemy retreat.
- The second point was that if ADC was suffering and the jungler wasn't helping, support stayed there more than he should sacrificing their levels, 'cause when I, thoth and ravana were 20 they was only 15 lower even than Khepri and He bo.
- Another mistake from the enemy team was that they didn't focus the main damage. A lot of teamfights people were focusing me and the Terra instead of Thoth and Medusa. I agree Nike is annoying (mainly when casting Rend) but always try to focus the main source of damage, not the support and tank. The only time they did the right thing were the last play.
That was my first match of conquest. I hope all the matches be like these. I will try to play at least one by weekend and post here to all you guys.
For the ones that like numbers, here is the match.
One error I notice that you make (choice of words) is "hopefully." I believe you mean it as "thankfully." Hopefully means that you hope something will occur in the future. Thankfully means that you're happy/lucky something already happened.
Hope this helps (I know English isn't your first language)!
Unless you confuse figurative/literally or almost/barely, in which case I will be mildly infuriated.
Thats figrativly almost rong
Thank you for the your correction. Sorry about my English, I still improving it.
It's corrected now :)
Now it's edited, shouldn't cause more problems, I guess :v
We know that rage with the team is not helpful
But as long as you are just tilting yourself by screaming by yourself (or with your friend as in this case). I guess it is fine.
Also it's his way to play. If he doesn't externize his rage he play bad (even more).
I've been seeing Poseidon in the ADC role frequently. Sometimes works but is easy to counter.
I looked at the stats at that Medusa build hurt me, lol.
Also I said to him that with that build he will die a lot, but he said "trust on me".
Also I wouldn't waste time spam laughing/taunting a player, just stupid and pointless. The Jungler also wasn't likely helping because he thought your duo lane/ ADC was useless - so he would rather try and farm to get ahead - as Ravana isn't that good lategame.
First they locked He Bo and then the Thoth, the comment is BEFORE my team select Thoth and Bellona stated laughing in early game and when I received the first gank (at exactly at level 5, hopefully my ulti saved me). I just retributed his toxicity, I never spam random laughs, I don't even laugh.
About my duo there was nothing I can do, it was in the other side of the map, and after the complains (that neither he or Terra listened to because we were in a closed xbox live party) my friend asked politely help to Ravana and he started to be alert and helped a little more.
Agreed. However, if your qualifiers got messed up (Poor Bran) and you're in a low division would it still be worth banning Janus? Due to Smite match making I've been matched against diamond players
