i really like having a TF on our team, we just need to work out the level 6 ganks. Getting jungle and TF to gank at the same time and turning bot lane into a 4v2, hopefully killing both enemies killing tower and getting the AD snowballing. So i would like us to try and work that out in future games.
Also TF is a notorius split pusher. He can be pushing away at a lane and if the other team decides to push our mid he can get back to the team fight in time.

It's not the build, the team comp, etc.
It is our execution of the team fight that is suffering.
Build and team comp are only as good as your execution. We could have the best equipment and the best coach in the NBA, but we'd still lose games if we couldn't execute the plays. Stop talking about composition and builds. Start talking about how to make the fight happen.
Yes, I will initiate. But what happens next? The 'plan' seems to stop after we figure out who is initiating.
I initiate. What does Gordon do? What does Leisher do? Etc. Please, someone, anyone, describe or explain the plan after initiation.
Right now, our plan is:
1. Initiate.
2. Win the team fight.
Need more info.

I thought I broke down a plan of attack for team fighting here. Please give it a read.
It may not be perfect, but it's a start to the conversation.

I've just achieved the impossible. . . .
Promoted out of bronze 5 into bronze 4.
What sucks is that it was more luck than anything else. Both promo games I played, and won, the teams were extremely lopsided. The first started bad, but by mid game, we rolled them. Second game, we dominated from start to early surrender. Had I been on the other team in either game, I'd have lost. At bronze, anything, it's all about the luck of the team draw. Unless you are amazing and can carry your team no matter what.
I must admit though, I did have some bad ass key plays as Jarvin in the second game. But, I'll add that I think my team could have won it 4 v 5 with one of us sitting in spawn the whole game. The enemy team was just that bad.

I should be available tonight if others are. If others are not, that's ok too. Have not played torchlight in forever.

I will probably not be available as I'm working a double.
There's a very small possibility that I might be able to sneak on at some point since I have LoL installed here, but I'm not sure.
If I did, I wouldn't have voice.
If things change during the day, I will let you all know.

Upgrade to maybe. Slept all day and blew about a gallon of multicolored phlegm out of my lungs, feeling slightly better.

We're probably going to scare Chaotic away with our unavailability. We've rarely been this bad about not being available. We'll see where the evening takes me, but if Stranger wants to skip the bar tonight and play LoL, I will too. With Venerable, that'd most likely give us 5 (assuming Gordo will be on).
Cake, would you rather us wait so you can be there when we're promoted?
I am 100% for tomorrow night.

Just as an FYI, we will no longer be playing promotion games with Venerable Sage to avoid facing teams full of silver players to offset his gold status.
Not sure how Riot thinks many silver = 1 gold player, but whatever.
We're back to 85 points, which is one win away from another promotion series. So everyone get their bronze level ass on tonight.

Yeah... 3 Silver-3 players against us seems kind of fucked. I didn't think it could be because of VS.

It's 9:10, and I don't see anyone on.
I'm going to watch an hour long show with the wife as I figure IF anyone gets on, it won't be until 10ish.

i was the old man that needed sleep last night, I was out by 10:30. If i'm not on, please go ahead and play ranked without me, thats why we have more than 5 on our team. I will be on tonight to play for sure though.

We can't.
Here's the problem: With you, me, Gordo, Cake, and Chaotic we get matched up against other Bronze players. Once we add Venerable we get multiple Silver players because he's a Gold player. We could add Theo, but then he's bumping me out of mid or Gordo out of top, and who's playing support?
Honestly, you're more critical than me, Gordo, or Cake right now because if we really needed to, we could grab Theo (or Scooty if he still had a computer) and they could fill in top, mid, or jungle.
If we really wanted to get around you being out, we'd need to recruit another Bronze support player.
I will be on tonight to play for sure though.
I hope to be on, but I'm not certain. If I get on, it'll be anywhere from 10-12.
I'll be on Saturday night for sure.
