Team 8 will never win a game if they aren't playing like orianna heck a rim annie malphite, literally their only strength is pretending like it's season 1 and walking up mid with aoe magic damage.

would they win if the other team picked corki?

Everyone but Shiptur really- he failed to do anything of relevance and consistently got outplayed at every opportunity.

yeah, I was really curious how that match would play out. Bjerg is consistently the best mid in the NA LCS and Shiptur has always had a reputation as being near the top. It turns out he's pretty lovely. He also sandbagged Coast and is partially responsible for getting them relegated. Anyone that hires him deserves the poo poo results they get.

I was thinking about High some more the other day and it's crazy to think that he used to get to play against reginald and scarra and ny jacky and poo poo and now even the bad teams have mids like XWX and pobelter. I really don't think he's actually dropped off.

look, just because you have a 58% win rate in solo queue doesn't mean you're stronger than other midlane picks

If a patch comes out this week they'll run this weekends games on the last patch so they've got a chance to suss out the patch changed before having to play competitive games on it, the patch they're on now where Ahri is ridiculous is only like a week old.

It's never going to stop being funny to me that Liquid was absolute top of the league with KEITHMCBRIEF and now that piglet has been brought in they're like middle of the league. Also Keith still has the most fantasy points per game of anyone in the league, it's not even close. :allears:

I imagine it's to give some time to screen for bugs found when a patch goes live, and give teams a week of scrimming/practicing on the new patch before playing on it.

There was a point where he could lane against Bjerg with his assassins and hold his own. I specifically recall how lacking in confidence he was in the first match against Bjerg. He went Teemo just to have something relevent to do after getting destroyed in lane. The next time they met he went with LB and did fine. He has definitely fallen off since then. He was at his strongest when Leblanc/Zed/Gragas/Soraka were meta picks. It's possible people have just adapted to his aggressive style though.

Coast: Well Listen. We've all decided that instead of trying to win the game at any point we're going to try and keep piglet's fantasy points as low as we can manage.

Way more. Forgiven is only 7th for ADCs over both LCSs, Fantasy doesn't always translate into real world successes. For instance, Freeze is 8th overall (not just for ADCs, overall, he's above Forgiven) for average points per game. Keith has 38 points per game, the 2nd place is Steelback with 30 per game. Forgiven is 22 per game.

It's funny how the only way Piglet can be relevent in the game is to pick a strong solo dueler and splitpush while the team does whatever else it wants.

Basically, I think the language problem is a bigger problem than they're letting on and they let Piglet go Vayne so he can run around and do whatever he wants without having to communicate much and still hopefully carry.

FAKEEDIT: Thanks Xpecial for confirming my theory!
