Wickd's is just a casual Negatron (as it should be), he just bought Rabadon's.

This redeems it somewhat, but even when building one it should've been on Wickd rather than on Froggen. Rumble spikes so much harder from flat pen than Lissandra does.

I kind of feel like Elements might have been able to pull that team fight off but they decided to just ditch Froggen.

Well, them trying too hard is what got them in this deficit in the first place.

Nrated isn't really a world class support & their warding could be better. I think Elements had a few good attempts at abusing SK's tendency to move into unwarded sections of the map brazenly, but yea adding Unforgiven & Fox to Sven & Freddy has really shored up the old SK's main weaknesses.

Team Racist Assholes + Froggen would legit have no weaknesses if he could gel well. The Triple F (Forg1ven, Froggen, Fredy) could be counted on to win against any set of lanes.

Rekkles left a good team that had issues for another good team with issues. SK outside of subpar vision control doesn't look like they have any glaring weaknesses. Fox isn't bad but he's not as amazing as their other laners and jungle. SK with Froggen would murder all lanes in the west.

Froggen fucks up quite often too though. Every season he runs off on his own to farm while his team gets demolished. I still remember that one game where Froggen was on Kayle, and they were slowly clawing back their deficit by the power of Froggen, and then the idiot runs bot alone to farm and gets caught and the enemy team proceeds to rush their nexus.

With others to do the shotcalling (idiot herding) I'd assume that'd be much less of a problem.

Yeah, Forg1ven is the rear end in a top hat part of Team Racist Assholes, except he's a really entertaining one because he can back up his talk. I'm pretty sure his current KDA is the highest anybody has ever attained at any pointin a competitive split, including Faker and the rest of Korea.

He's not the only rear end in a top hat - Fredy122's pretty notorious for being toxic in SoloQ as well. Meanwhile Nrated is like, almost at Alex Ich or Krepo levels of being a nice guy, so I guess he kind of balances it out a little?

And honestly? If I gotta be fair, I don't mind Fredy and Forg1ven being assholes at all because it happens due to how hungry they are. These guys are the gold standards of their roles, so long as you aren't actually vile as a person you get to be as cocky as you want if you can back it up. You can see that it's mostly competitive drive off of how nice they are to their teammies after the game's done (like how Forgiven mentioned Fredy was totally unreal in the elements game and went above and beyond the call of duty).

He was "among the most toxic players in League of Legends ever" (according to a Riot article promoting him) and was fined 1,000 dollars not for being toxic, but for repeatedly ignoring warnings to change and being a dick anyway. He is just absolutely next-level bm. Like, he really is (or at least was for a year) an incredibly lovely person.

I was just about to come and post about this article. In fariness to him, he seems to acknowledge that he was an over the top dick:

Riot Games Article on Forgiven posted:

"Obviously, [the fine is] what should have happened," he said on his Ask.fm. "Although I disagree with players being role models, the hand that feeds me is Riot Games, and they create the rules so I respect them."

[...]

But they [the Copenhagen Wolves] still faced relegation at the end of the Spring Split [2014]. This was the end of the Wolves' roster as we knew it, and likely, as a result of his behavior, FORG1VENGRE was not offered a position on another LCS team. "To be truthful, I wouldn't [have] picked myself up."

And most reports now seem to indicate he's now more of a "I'm the best and I know it" kind of dude than a "gently caress you, you suck" kind of guy. Seems like he's gotten to a reasonable, if not necessarily perfect or ideal point, and with how phenomenal he and SK has looked (and how bad most of EU is otherwise) he probably deserves to be a little full of himself.

Edit: Especially since last year he was apparently the most toxic and most reported LCS player in the League, that's a pretty significant improvement.

Uhhh, actually what that says is "I don't believe I did anything wrong but Riot gets to make the rules and I should have obeyed them even if they're dumb" and "I know me breaking the rules made me a liability." There's basically nothing in there that translates to him feeling bad about his actual actions at all, just him realizing that he was shooting himself in the foot.

I feel like people mellow out with age because teenagers are dumb as gently caress. Yeah it's pretty impressive to get to the top 0.1% of rear end in a top hat douches, especially in a game fueled by rear end in a top hat douches, but I feel like all these dudes who are like 17-20 and suddenly have a giant megaphone attached to their racist/bigoted/rear end in a top hat jokes will learn that it's not socially acceptable to poo poo all over people because it will bite you in the rear end, as it should. Some people like that XJ9 dude have legit mental health issues, but most of these guys will just calm the gently caress down and recognize how to communicate to other human beings without being a giant rear end in a top hat.

All of us in our 30's are like super loving thankful facebook wasn't around to capture all of the stupid and bigoted poo poo we said and did while being a dumb 17 year old. At least I am.
