I just played a ranked game where I was lastpick (lame, I know). For those of you who don't know, picks are assigned in order of rating. You want your top picks playing carries, and your lower picks playing tanks and supports.
So I went jungling with Amumu. Compared to Udyr, Amumu is a worse jungler, and lacks the sheer jungle control and counterjungling skills that Udyr possesses. I was facing an enemy Udyr, and he had a Primal skin. Things looked bad...
Except he didn't invade me once. I jacked his wraiths multiple times, and I scored multiple successful ganks. When their Udyr was farming bot, I saw our Baron opportunity, and called it, and Smited it to save it from a Lux ult. It was one of the best games I ever played.
But I didn't mention the creepscores. At 14 minutes into the game, the enemy Karthus had 100 cs, and our Ashe had 99. That is amazing, and it is something I know I can't do without using a hero like Cho'Gath or Sion. So I'm happy with my rating now, because it represents where I am as a player.
Still pretty funny that I probably can't lasthit with most characters anymore, since I jungle so much.
