Despite winning top and bot lane quite convincingly in the first 10 minutes MRN are now losing. Just goes to show that laning is only a battle.

Why did maplestreet flash there :psyduck: if you're caught you're caught, why waste a 5 minute cooldown?!

VES flirting with death right there, but manages to mostly win out. Not a good call at all though.

Maplestreet is a very weak ADC. Meanwhile, Nientonsoh is literally carrying his team to victory. That Trist :stare:

Pretty much ClakeyD's weak jungling is the only thing keeping Velocity in this.

What do you do with a drunken Viking?


I am so confused. Studio what the heck did you tell them to do!?

For context for those not watching: Velocity let Nientonsoh have Tristana again and then last-picked AP Janna as a mid. And are apparently jungling Ez. I have no words.

That was my question. What the gently caress is Velocity doing? This is going to be amazing one way or another.

Edit: 2 supports and 2 ADs from Velocity.

Maybe they're going to InSec style and try to have two AD/Support pairings, where Janna's only real job is to hold mid and soak XP while Ez pops in to farm it?

I've seen jungle Ezreal twice, a month or two ago -- once was in Snoopeh's A-Z jungling stream, and he fed horribly. I can't remember the other although I vaguely remember it working out alright

Would of it been a viable strategy if one of three bottom laners had teleport to prevent damage to top lane?

TP doesn't really work on non-solo laners imo. A support doesn't add enough to make it worth it. AD either needs something for teamfight defense (barrier, exhaust) or damage (ignite). I guess you could run it on Ez, given his e, but still not really worth it. And to be honest trading towers is so drat common that losing one top when you're taking one and a half bot isn't really an issue

Best part was ori was in the middle of the AA that would have finished Elise off but it canceled because of the fog.

I don't get the announcers. MRN seems like they're catching up in gold and able to stop Velocity's pushes. Feels like they're catching up.

Edit: Guess they were right since MRN can't handle this pushing!

Janna seems like a really really good counter to Orianna, at least ult-to-ult

e: I mean in engages like flash taunt Shen in that last one. Push everyone back and get some healing so you have time to get moving again without instant follow-up destroying you
