Ah. That along with economy balance is one of the things that just comes over time. Not having any idea how well you play, it's hard to suggest any one thing in particular to help.

I should probably ladder more often and get out of bronze instead of playing with friends in customs all the time. That said, if you're ever up for some games, my name/ID is DoctorCrane.378

I actually do need to just dive in with the laddering, once I'm not playing so shoddily I probably will play a game against you. :)

Hell, if you want, I might be able to help you get there. Laddering can be useful, but in lower leagues can also be a real soul drain because of all the cheese and the bots. I'm in a horrible state at the moment, having put Protoss to one side to learn Zerg. So different to Brood War!

Buttfucked TSM, then got ban buttfucked and outpicked and straight up outplayed by CLG.

And Fnatic looking like they might manage to sweep it 3-0.

Dignitas - Katarina, Trundle Jungle, Caitlyn, Sona, Udyr.

Still fairly early if you're interested

I'm liking the idea of Sona + Kat ultis though.

As always though, enemy team seems stronger, but you can never count Dignitas out.

Honestly, hoping for Fnatic win, and TSM win, so we got Fnatic through (EU 4EVA BRO) and I think Dignitas would get through on longest games.

I may be way behind the times here, but I had no idea you could actually just catch Mew without cheating.

Yes, you're several years behind the times. :P

I can confirm that it works, btw.
