This truly is a "surrender at 20" game in it's purest form.

To be fair, Gambit is four men down. It's just this bizarre total collapse of Fnatic that doesn't make any sense. They were semifinalists in worlds last year, and now they're 5th in Europe. This is some XDG-level poo poo right here, without the pointless position switching and nepotism that explains that collapse. I mean, right now the entire thing is neck-and-neck between Gambit and Roccat, (with the really interesting caveat that Roccat has lost twice to SK, once to Fnatic, and once to CW), but I kinda think we're just seeing much more impressive play in NA and Europe looks worse in comparison.

Jessie Tanner posted:

It's a result of the changes Riot made to prevent early game snowballing. Since nothing is worth doing early game anymore rather than farming, the game has become a passive and boring snoozefest for the most part. Trinkets doesn't help either as they've practically removed level 1 invasions from the game.

I mean in the past 2 weeks specifically, not season 4 or whatever. The first few weeks Europe looked better than China. The teams are making genuinely worse decisions every game, their mechanics have gone downhill. I can't make sense of it.

Boss, if they make us find seven lost crystals, I'm quitting.

TSM, what the hell was that? Waaay too greedy for that red, they gave Ahri such a huge window to come help.

Also, I am really loving tired of seeing Pantheon and Gragas. Every single LCS game is basically the same 20 champions with maybe 2-3 choices each lane. Regi had a good point with playing the champions that are best but good loving God does it make for a boring tournament to watch.

People were saying Dig was the joke of NA after Battle of the Atlantic. This pretty much held true for the first few games they played. People only started turning their opinions around when they beat C9 and went on a 6 game win streak.

Lichbane Ahri needs to use lichbane procs during sieges.

edit: to add i think going lichbane after DFG on Ahri is REALLY questionable, if you went DFG you generally want to commit to maximizing the burst you can do during the DFG debuff timeframe and lichbane generally equates to more sustained damage (unless it's the 6th item on top of 500+ AP).

I also think one of the main reasons Coast has been last place this split is nintendude, guy was pretty beastly in last year's spring split he simply doesn't seem to be the clutch player he used to be and he needs to since shiptur and zion actually pull their weight (maybe Shiptur is streaky at times). I also have found Wiz to be a bit underwhelming so far.
