I won my first PVP game! Now I get it!
So long story short I get normals anxiety, so I made an account sometime in season 9 and played bots until I leveled to 30 I slowly worked myself up to playing a normals just so i could complete the mission to get a free master yi
I played galio because i thought i was most confident on him, and it went bad I lost my first 5 games, i was gutted, the first couple i just sucked and fed, but the last 3 i started realising i was playing about as well as the rest of the team but i didnt have any confidence
So i went back to bots, feeling a bit bummed i didnt get a win and started cassiopeia, i just liked the look of her (i also kind of play akali, kayle, le blanc and ryze, but obviously only in bots so far)
After 10 or so games vs bots i decided to give it another try
So i built tear early by mistake because i was flustered so had to go seraphs (i prefer ludens) but ended up being the best performer on a bad team, no one on the enemy team had smite, but we had no one (except me) with less than 9 deaths I went 4/4/6 192 cs (the most in the game) and 12k gold (the most on my team)
I tried to tell myself it was just a bad team not to get disheartened
I'm quite friendly in chat and I've never been flamed yet so when my lane opponent said i did well it really helped me say fuck it re-queue
And then it clicked, i dont know if i got lucky with the matchmaking or suddenly im faker now... BUT I WON My first pvp win! I got a solo-kill against the talon, i remembered to get ludens into lisandries first, 217 cs the highest again, 12/5/7 sort of the best on my team (also a 14/9/7 miss fortune) and i made the two baron calls, and we got them both!
I had to get some sleep because i had an early morning and work for the morning, but now im home and hopefully excited to get my 2nd pvp win!
This post was mostly just me celebrating because i have no friends in the game to celebrate with, but also i get why people play this game all day now... LET'S GO!

That was a fun read! Congrats, man. I remember when I started out in 2011, and while I was okay playing against people, I had maaaaaassive ranked anxiety. Eventually played a game while PRETTY DRUNK, and for whatever reason, that worked. :)
Now get back out there and kick some butt!
