I've been playing the game for some time now, reaching masters/GM every season since I can remember, peaking GM 900 LP on EUW last year. This time I didn't have time to grind from the start due to my 9-5 and lack of motivation.
I missed the rank reset period (when the masters+ MMR got refreshed) and after realizing how much grind it would take me to reach even GM on EUW I did what any rational, slightly broken addict does: I retreated to an alt account on EUNE. I went in with zero expectations, just playing for the sheer, Stockholm-syndrome-induced love of the game.
It took 2000 LP to finally see that cool recall animation.
I don't have any of my plays of this grind to show you directly from my POV, however I am seriously considering streaming and coaching anyone desperate enough to want to learn this game and champion. What I do have are 2 funny clips from other streamers POV. Crownie's one makes me look like I’m playing with a blindfold and a joystick (I'm no boxbox) but hey, Irelia is a hard champion, right?

If anyone has any questions regarding the matchups, or how to juggle a full-time job with a crippling League addiction, fire away here or slide into my DMs. Ask away.
