Promotion!

Well, it's fitting--Thresh, which was the champ that led me to my first Ranked defeat back in my second post two whole weeks ago now, was also the champ that brought me victory in my second promotion series match, securing my move up to Bronze IV!

Two weeks feels like a while to manage the move up one division like this, but given that it's the absolute cellar division and a place reputed to be filled with trolls and ragers, and that most of this time was spent really trying to figure out the mechanics and strategy of this game enough to compete, I feel OK with that kind of timeline.

So from here, my first major milestone, I need to begin to hone my mechanics and expand on my champion pool and role ability a bit (so far about 95% of my games have been with Nami, Thresh or Ahri).  I'll play a few more normals (been on a very strong winning streak with Ranked so wanted to continue it at least this far) to get more practice with Renekton, Nasus and Riven and see if one or more of those in top or jungle can help me perform more consistently.

And I just noticed that I also broke my second major initial milestone, the 50%+ winrate for ranked games after being seeded! And-and-and, according to Lolking, my winrate with Nami has finally reach 50% as well.  Yowza, talk about a confluence...

So at the six-game mark in my winning streak I put down my competitive gloves for a day or two and start to stretch my game-wings.  It feels pretty good!
