How do you look up details of your matches that weren't a part of your team? I'd like to search Mr. Awesome's stats and ranking to see what level he really was, but it only shows me my stats.
I'd still like to know how to do the above, but I found him on lolking.net.
Motherfucker isn't even seeded. That was his 7th seeding match. 7 of his prior 10 games were Howling Abyss matches, one was a TT, and the other SR game he played Master Yi in the jungle.
What an asshole.

You can't really get details. When in their profile, you can look at their 'Ranked' page to see where they are ranked (B3, S1, etc), but no details. I think it lists games won as well. If you click on the leagues tab, it shows your info. Bug? Don't know. But the only thing you can do is look at someone's match history and see their over all rank.
When people play the 'pick order' card, I always say "The only people who go by pick order are the people that didn't call their lane soon enough and are going to steal someone else's". Yes, that is a douche move. I never take anyone's rank claim as truth.
When I play solo, I play with the thought that I am going to have to play my best game ever. I count on NO ONE and I play to not die. I know that I will have to carry the team to victory by myself or we will lose. And honestly, I have my best games when I play like that with you guys. 
I play every game with the expectation to lose. Basically, I keep a very low level of expectations so that I'm not pissed when it turns out bad. However, I KNOW I'm becoming a better player playing in these conditions. I pay more attention to who I'm fighting, etc. I am a more skilled player because of solo queue. Often, one of my top goals is to not be the guy the team starts raging against and blaming for the loss. Not because I care what they think but because then I know I'm having a good game. Doing better with a 2/1/4 score isn't a good game. It's an adequate game. 6/2/12 is getting better. 10/2/19 is a good game. I go for the good game. Or, I make sure my carry has that game and I end up at 4/4/27.
Played two games last night. First game, I got Amumu. I went 16/0/12 (I don't remember exactly how may assists). Our carry went 17/10/15. We won the game for us. I took an early lead with kills. 4/0/1 which gave me a pretty good advantage in 1v1's. I was getting shit from top lane because I wasn't helping him enough. Even though I had ganked 3 times up there and mid 2 times and could never make it to bottom because I was babysitting top and mid. This is when I play my "Know how you know you are a bad player? You start blaming your team mates for your failures." macro. It doesn't shut them up, but, your other team mates generally agree with you. Top and mid, even with all of my help, did really poorly. OH, and the guy that took mid was fighting with another guy who also wanted mid. One picked Lux and the other was, mundo maybe? I don't remember. But he sucked there. Lux did poorly the first half of the game as support, but really came alive second half. She had 2 VERY KEY saves on me, one right after the other. I had a LOT of enemies on my ass and I'm at like 50 hp. She stunned and slowed, twice, over the walls to save me. Anyways, I snowballed to the point where I would fight Ashe and Voli 1v2 and win with half my health left over. I would MELT Ashe and then voli took a few extra seconds. Then I continued my split push to take their bottom inhib turret before I retreated. Point is, I played a great game, and that's what allowed us to win. Bottom lane did their job, but top and bottom failed hard core. Actually, our mid was Talon. And he kept trying to 1v1 enemies over and over and over and would NEVER win. I ignored him. Didn't help him, etc. However, I WOULD clean up after him. I never entered a situation where I wasn't 80% sure I would survive, etc. And that's how I went 16/0/12.
Then I played another game. Got Sej for that game. My first two deaths were from following our mid Sion's orders. Died both times. Lost my momentum (was 2/0/1 prior) and was an average game for me. Their mid, Kassaden was having a good game and snowballing. They won. Sion did the most bitching on our team, and to the other team. I pointed out that my score was better than his (because he picked me to blame because I wasn't tanky enough) and that he didn't play even close to well enough to be raging against his own team for our loss. I got 2 honorables and a team work that game. Pointing out someone's ignorance doesn't shut them up, but everyone else likes you.
But anyway, I'm in another promo series in solo and each time I get one, I do better and better. I'm getting better because I'm playing with idiots and having to play better than my abilities allow. So when I do play solo, it's easier.
If you never have a game, in solo or team games, where you are awesome (15/2/20 or 4/4/29), then you are not bringing anything to the team. Ya, I said that. You are merely doing your job. We always have to have one person doing really well in order to win. Because odds are, the other team has someone snowballing. So, if you never snowball, then you are always being carried, and never doing the carrying.

Once I leave today, I am off until Tuesday. Gordo is out, and Cake is out until the weekend, so...
Stranger if you see me on tonight, maybe we can Duo and finish my seeding (4 games to go)?
As for the weekend, I figure we can run with Cognito1 if we just want to do normals, or grab Theo or Venerable if we want to play ranked.

My neighbor with the full work crew that was supposed to be building a patio doesn't think you're funny.
Poor bastard.

Had a very busy week last week. Then went up north to ride (holy fuck it was amazing) and now I'm home. Will be available Sunday night.
Next week, I'm still busy Mon-Thursday nights because I haven't been able to hire anyone. I'm having difficulty finding someone to do back ground checks for me. 
My days are open though, so I'll be able to get the hiring done this week for sure which will hopefully open up some evenings for me.

Entered bronze 4 again. As long as there is one other person who is good on my team, we can win. So it's getting easier to move up the ranks.
I wish we could take more advantage of Gordon's vacation.

Just plowed through Bronze 4 and in a promo series for 3. Just played my best game as Ziggs ever. Told them I was better at jungle than mid. . . they didn't care. I was dead on with my satchel charge. I was being chased down by Voli. Every time he used his charge, I'd use either my satchel or my mines to keep distance. Then two other enemies showed up so I stopped and killed Voli real quick using my satchel for the killing blow and to shoot me out of the fight. Made it around a wall but Morg landed her stun and then they got me. I was awesome.

Hurray. Won my first promo game. Second was just a train wreck of a team. HORRIBLE bans and the other team got some OP champs. And then people played like morons. Third game, we were losing early game, then winning mid game. Then we had an afk and we would lose every fight by about 300hp. With our fifth, we would have dominated. So, no promo. Thanks solo queue!!! But I'm an awesome Sej now.
OH, my first game, I was even stuck with support! I went 2/2/13 as Nid. The other team surrendered.

Can Skarner flash while he's pulling someone to pull them a really far distance?

No. its not possible to do any other actions but move while ulting.
You can use ghost or shurelia's before and get a big speed boost and pull them extra distance.
This got me thinking.. i wonder if you could pull off a Skarner ult into a Thresh lantern for some serious max distance. I kinda doubt it though, that would just be a broken mechanic.

That would become the best initiate in the game by a mile.
We should run it in a bot game to test, and if it works, bring it into ranked.
