a weird scaling HS/VHS in General Discussion

    Just finished my grinding day, 11 games, some sick plays, wasn't in my very best shape I would say. People that are reading the forum lately (hopefully after all) know where I currently belong, 3.2-3.8k, so let's crack on it. (that note is just to feed the trolls :-))
    I was very surprised to see they got me in VHS now, for the first time ever(must have been because of random draft and late hours) but especially I did not expect it after what was happening in the game.

    Even though I am happy now, everyone was quite bad, in our team, except slark, which played like a maniac on the other hand, all game on his own and I never knew where he is, in team fights...
    I kinda lost the mid against "a regular guy" on lina, where I should be probably a favorite, if I've got enough regen of MP and HP, dunno, didn't see that line-up for a while. He's estimated 4.5k and I am not a mid player. They sent me there out of need so I did what I could, not horribly wrong stuff happened.

    To go deeper in the topic, Veno didn't know how to deward properly, it took him always 3 min after slark pointed it and then got caught there out of position. Void missed two chances to hit a good chrono and actually died in both cases without it, that was shocking. And tiny? Until we woke hip up by some nice streaks, he always stayed back and did not even worry at least about the avalanche+ blink back. Not good toss combos seen either.
    Something was just wrong with this game. These guys were wrong and next time I go play in VHS I want to play a support and not with them!! I Can't imagine tiny would be the middle guy and I was the Void's helping hand. Disaster :-)
    Thank you for attention and don't hesitate to leave your comments, I am quite resistant after the main topic I created :P
    Keep the good work up!

      what is the discussion/question here?

      this is a blog post, not a forum thread.

      anyways, VHS on a new smurf is pretty shit

      1-2k can get lucky and get their acc into VHS on a new smurf.

      i had 80-90% winrate during pre-calibration on this acc because even if my acc was said to be 4k avg, those players i played with/against played like 1-3k

      so don't get happy about VHS because it doesn't matter.

      Full Давай

        inb4 smurfs play in smurf bracket

          Cut them some slack, they aren't regular VHS.

          As Cookie said, it's easy to get into VHS.

            Cookie: It was written more like a blog, but there is nowhere else to publicize it :-)
            So there is such a thing as smurf bracket?
            I had a good lesson, though, as I don't play the middle often and they sent me against 4k+. No wards on the runes, his bottle power on top of it. I thought I am not doing so badly until he jumped on my head with euls in 12th. minute.
