Let go for someone who has never played or coached League.

I think losing an entire rune-set worth of armor from his flag will actually hurt his early game considerably because he won't have nearly as much health after his clear to make plays.

After his mana cost changes, not to mention the armour aura on E being taken off back in like season 3, it became just as viable to max W on him. It's not really a huge deal for him in the early game, but he loses net 19 armour in the late.

Yes his clear gets marginally worse, but it's never been an incredible one to begin with.

I like Quickshot trying to imply that Nisbeth would have a better KDA if he played someone other than Leona. MYM only has 1 win Quickshot, he's going to be getting killed a lot no matter who he's playing.

Naw man he could just play Janna every game and Rekkles the teamfight where he throws a tornado from max distance then hauls off back to base 'So long, idiot teammates! Have fun dying!' where he will purchase Mejais & never leave fountain, thus preserving it at 90% gold efficiency

Yeah but if you lose almost every game maybe it's not a great idea to pick a support who stinks when you're behind.

They deserve to lose this game. MYM is playing as lovely as they always do, but at least they aren't making any baffling bad decision. UOL is playing down below their opponent's level.

MYM figured out how to leverage Nisbeth's terrible positioning by having him bait UOL into bad fights over and over.

What a sad game from UOL

I think this had a lot to do with the whole "OK, we need someone to be an owner for this team so it is, but isn't owned by Alex Garfield" thing. I heard Leviathan got a better offer from Gambit and that's why he left. That said with Alliance/Elements' reputation of being uncoachable, maybe there's that too. After all, why watch replays when you can be stubborn about losing games :shrug:

I've missed all the EU LCS games this week, are there any ones really worth watching?

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I don't know about Fnatic, but Leviathan is a former poker pro. I think he has some idiosyncracies to his coaching that might or might not work, for starters he doesn't value watching Korean games instead of just analyzing the game himself. He's certainly a very smart dude and I'm really happy to see Gambit under his guide on a win streak :swoon:

Alas, no way to talk to the ADC because...

After reviewing the relevant log files, it was evident that Dayshifted was responsible for a severe and hateful level of verbal harassment. Dayshifted’s behaviour included, but was not limited to, sexual harassment and exhortation to commit suicide.

Catching up with this morning's LCK and I swear Bengi is back to being a really really good jungler. Still never gonna be the world's best, but he's unrecognisable from the guy who was actively hurting his team just a month or so ago; last 2-3 weeks he's been great. (Note I'm writing this while 10 minutes into G2 so maybe he does something awful and makes me look like an idiot but I'll take that chance :v:)
