Right off the bat I give the advantage to purple with that team make comp. I just think end game, their champs will end up doing better than blue but I've been wrong before and usually am, just ask the misses.
...And the game begins.
Item Analysis:
Purple is full of boots and pots other than Janna who smartly started with wards and a charm. Blue is more or less the same, other than Corki who decided to go damage with his sustain support and rocks the Dorans Blade.
The game starts with a possible action play with purple invading blue, at well, blue. Mundo was a bit of a slow connector and purple decided to try to gain from that. So lets get to the break downs.
1:00 - Viktor hts the bush with the entire enemy team just in the other bush. Skarner burns his flash a long with Viktor and nothing gained other than spent summoner spells on each side. At this point, blue should have invaded and taken their blue. All in all, it wasn't really as much of an invade as it was just a nuisance I think. If they had invaded they would have scored a Janna first blood most likely.
3:00 - Lanes are getting into a rhythm and jungle is doing its then, however Skarner went very low on his red. Mundle walks up to take it, but should have moved a bit noticing the damage the smaller minion had on him. That would also have been an opportune time to get a kill. So we get a blue for a red.
6:00 - Mundo takes the enemy blue which was sitting there waiting to be taken. Skarner and Morgana were at wolves and should have immediately gone to blue however the delay however slight cost that the buff.
Soon after Viktor pushes onto Morgana and ults to not much gain. Morgana holds him in place with a binding. I believe if Mundo had been setup properly to gank they would have scored a kill or burnt a summoner at the very least.
Bot sees a little action with Skarner heading down but again Mundo is right there and it's more a stand off. People fear 'raka bananas. Deadly.
7:30 - Current Standings:
Blue Team - 160 Total CS and 8k gold
Purple Team - 125 Total CS and 7.2k gold
No kills, no towers. Advantage goes to blue team.
And we finally get to our first serious fight shortly after the 8:30 mark.
Skarner heads top and face checks Lee Sin in the river brush. Lee kicks and follows Skarner around the rear while Mundo and Viktor head from mid to assist. Irelia begins to head in to help but a clutch ult by Viktor lands first blood for the under used robot on Skarner. Irelia being quite mobile lands on top of Viktor and ends up taking him out leaving Mundo and Lee Sin.
A wild Morgana appears and ults between the two landing a 3 for 1 trade in purples favor. Gold is now also in purples favor by 400.
10:00 - Current Standings:
Blue Team - 198 CS 10.6k Gold, 1 Kill, Zero Towers
Purple Team - 191 CS 11.1k Gold, 3 Kills, Zero Towers
Advantage - Purple.
Now, lets break and talk current items.
Viktor is sporting 2 Doran Rings, Sorc Boots and his non-upgraded module and 2 pots. Morgana is running 2 Doran and Tier 1 Boots. Item wise, The Russian is doing better yet he seems to not do much in trades. Morgana is to easily able to ignore, or lock him down and walk it off. Viktors range hasn't been much of a help and it doesn't appear many slows/stuns have been landed.
Junglers are fairly standard. Mundo went for an early HoG and a regrowth pendant with Tier 1 boots. Skarner has Tier 1 boots, a philo stone, sapphire and wards.
Top laners are going a bit different routes. Lee is sporting merc treads, vamp scepter and cloth armor- the makings of a lantern. Irelia however appears to be going as tanky as she can with ninja tabi and dorans shield which is helping her in trades. Lee just cannot harass her enough to move her from that lane.
Bot, thus far is just slightly in Corki's favor. Higher CS and more damage vs Ashe's mobility with boots.
So lets continue watching!
Skarner goes to gank top, and ults Lee dragging him to the tower and Irelia gets the assist. That was a risky engage with no support on blue team. Ultimately it didn't work out. Irelia is just very hard to push out of lane.
11:20 - Mundo is stealing the enemy blue while Skarner just misses him.Mundo mostly ignores Skarner but engages a bit to late. Skarner is able to keep him slowed and gets another kill and the blue buff. Wards save lives folks.
12:40 - Blown ult by Skarner on Corki. Just wasn't a timely used ultimate that could have been put to better use when they tried to tower push.
13:30 - Mundo with ult down attempts to take out a low Morgana who ultimately pops shield, and locks him down at tower. Skarner was able to mosey down and get the kill giving Morg the assist. Mundo should have just kept farming when he missed the cleaver. Another risky engage.
15:30 After a attempt to gank by Mundo and Lee top, Irelia flashes to safety. Viktor comes in from the try bush and Morgana see's him and attempts to get a binding but misses. Skarner moves in but with Viktors ult he lands the kill.
16:30 - Current Standings
Blue Team - 278 CS 18.1k Gold, 3 Kills, Zero Towers
Purple Team - 303 CS 17.8k Gold, 7 Kills, Zero Towers
Advantage - Purple Team.
More CS, More Kills just slightly less cold. They are slowly getting a level and item advantage.
Top and Mid lanes both lean more toward purple team at this point those lanes have more gold and items than their counter parts. Jungle is included in this, Skarner and setup more successful ganks.
Bot lane is still gridlocked to a point. Damage trades go back and forth, I give bot lane to Corki currently based on items and CS.
18:20 - Corki/Soraka engage on Ashe/Janna and Corki walks away with a kill given with an excellent snipe. I give this lane to Corki still as it stands.
Sortly after Skarner and Irelia land another Lee Sin kill. Poor Lee just keeps taking it in top lane. Dragon is started by blue shortly after. 3 on 3 currently. Viktor ults in on the group and Ashe finally comes from top and takes out Viktor, and then Mundo. Irelia shows up as well, and finishes Corki. Soraka flashes and runs but pauses out in the open letting Irelia see her which gives Irelia enough room to flash and dash in and take her under the tower.
4 kill trade, and they lose dragon. This, effectively is the game.
21:00 - Current Standings
Blue Team - 453 CS 23.9k Gold, 4 Kills, Zero Towers
Purple Team - 386 CS 24.7k Gold, 12 Kills 1 Tower
Advantage - Purple. The team has better items at this point, higher levels and is pretty hard to bully out of any lane. Bot lane is close, but slowly favoring Ashe.
21:06 - Mundo and Lee sin are on the top tower, Irelia stays put and tanks them as Skarner shows up then it happens, the best play in the game. Lee Sin ults Skarner, as Skarner Ults Lee and gets drug with skarner as He gets kicked back. Pro right there. Lee goes down.
Mundo goes to blue with their tower pushed, brings Viktor in who does his slow/stun on the golem and gets engaged on. Mundo seems to have not noticed and keeps running. He eventually turns to help but it's to late and lands Irelia two more kills. plus blues tower. She returns to lane as Lee runs up and attempts to push her out but she's just too built to be pushed around by someone 3 levels below her and pushes him back to his tower with little health.
Corki, Viktor and Raka catch Skarner out in mid and nearly take him out but he escapes with just a sliver of health.
24:00 - Team break down and items.
(At this point I would like to thank Google for the auto-save feature. I just lost power, and I had not saved this yet. Thank you Google. Thank you.)
Top Lanes
Lee Sin: Level 13 - 0/4/2 - 116 CS - Merc Treads, Wriggles, Phage and a Giants Belt
Irelia: Level 15 - 5/0/5 - 149 CS - Tabi, Wits End, Trinity Force - Tons of Damage (c)
Verdict: Clearly Irelia. She has a lot of straight AD reduction, movement speed, and damage with attack speed. She's a beast at this point in the game.
Jungle
Mundo: Level 10 - 0/5/1 - 82 CS - Merc Treads, Heart of Gold, 2x Regrowth Pendants(going for FoN possibly)
Skarner: Level 12 - 7/2/3 - 68 CS - Merc Treads, Philo, Sheen, Heart of Gold, Glacial Shroud and Ruby Crystal.
Verdict: Again, clearly Skarner. He's better built up higher level and a bigger threat.
Mid
Viktor - Level 13 - 133 CS - 2/4/0 - Upgraded core to give faster return on his shield/speed boost along with Sorc shoes, 2x Doran Rings, Needlessly Large Rod and wards.
Morgana - Level 14 - 92 CS - 3/0/5 - Sorc Shoes, 2x Doran Rings, and Rod of Ages with Wards.
Verdict: Once again, purple team is the winner with Morgana. More fed, more items = bigger threat.
Bot Lane
Corki - Level 13 - 183 CS - 2/1/0 - 2x Doran Blades, Infinity Edge, Zeal and Zerker shoes.
Soraka - Level 10 - 6 CS - 0/1/2 - Philo, Lucidity Boots, HoG and Wards
Ashe - Level 13 - 161 CS - 0/1/3 - 2x Doran Blades, Vamp Scepter, Pickaxe, Best Friend Sword and Zerker shoes.
Janna - Level 10 - 1 CS - 0/1/3 - Phil, HoG, Lucidity Bootsand wards.
Verdict: I give this lane to Corki and blue team. I believe this has been their most solid lane the entire game.
24:30 - Stand off near mid, towards the ramp to blue's wraiths. Poke going back and forth and someone is waiting for an initiation.
24:45 Skarner goes in with 3 of his team mates and Irelia coming from top of the mid lane. Blue is very fragmented and out of place. Soraka and Viktor in a bush with an enemy ward Corki bot, headed top Mundo around wraiths with Lee Sin between Irelia and her team. Viktor drops his stun/slow and ults the group but with little support it does nothing and they dive him in the bush - and he gets crushed.
Ashe continues her rampage and takes out Soraka and then they trample onto Mundo. Corki catches up and helps Lee Sin escape for a 3 to 0 fight. Purple team heads to dragon and scores an uncontested dragon. They back/return to mid. We have 5 on 5 in mid. Poke goes back and forth again, people playing it safe.
28:30 - People return to get buffs, and farm some lanes the teams spread back out.
29:45 - Purple sets up bait at Baron. They hide in the bush just outside baron waiting as blue walks into the trap. Corki gets Skarner ulted on and engaged and goes down, followed by Mundo, Lee Sin Purple takes advantage of this and starts to baron as the blue folks surrender and it's GG.
Lane by Lane Analysis:
Top: Top ignored each other for a bit to long which allowed Irelia to get a bit to tanky. Overall I believe Lee should have bullied a bit more in the beginning as he has better innate escapes. There needed to be more ward placement top as well, this would have saved some of the ganks and allowed for easier escapes.
Jungle: Mundo is a very fast jungler, nearly Shyvana fast and should have been in Skarners jungle far more often, especially after that first initial invade into his blue. I believe Mundo should have supported top lane a bit more over the other lanes where failed ganks happened. Bot lane was fairly solid through out the game and really didn't need the attempts. We needed to see more Dragon attempts, as it was more or less ignored for most of the game. The global gold would have helped all lanes.
Mid: I honestly feel that Viktor could have taken this lane, but he needed to play a bit more passive and save his slow/stun for clutch moments. I saw it thrown around quite a lot with little gain. This allowed Morgana to get the upper hand and push harder and roam and gank.
Bot: Corki and Soraka did an excellent job. This lane was done quite well and I believe overall they were the winners on the lane side of things. Corki is to easily able to escape or get into place to finish off people with his dash. Soraka with her heals and mana makes it an easy sustain lane vs Janna's lack of sustain.
