Sometimes I wonder if Kalista was introduced only to have a champ that legitimately used Runaans.

CW is playing a really high risk game here trying to continually bait the baron under-manned. If it goes sour one time they probably lose the game.

If you fire the Kalista W active sentinels into baron's model, they get stuck on Baron and become long term 2 hp wards rather than expiring after like 6 or 7 patrols.

I dunno, I just tuned into this but looks like Elements whole drat team hosed up, its 35 minutes in, and their siege comp is even on towers and behind in gold. CW has to throw preeeettty drat hard to lose this.

e: lol behind in towers now

he hasn't been the problem, really. He suffered in the laneswap (got towerdived, had bad CS, and then got caught out badly another time) but has caught up in the midgame.

I don't know why CW has waited so long to force a fight, Shook does very little damage and Wickd is Wickd. They just won a goddamn 4v5, lol

CW's primary engage options are very limited and the punishment for engaging badly into Gnar/Morg/Orianna could spell disaster.

Split pushing and baron/dragon plays are their best option

This is where I don't like the Lulu because a support with a real engage could really help them.

You know what would help against this team with four sources of heavy magic damage? If the support had built an Aegis or even a Banner instead of a Deathcap. Or if the Jungler had build an Aegis instead of a SV or Warmog's. Like what the hell.

Monte talks about how trinkets kinda become rock/paper/scissors, as sweeper > ward > orb > sweeper, but... they have wards instead of orbs :shrug:

We have seen a lot of greedy MR item purchases from junglers this season it seems like. You just don't see Aegis as much, even in games where it would be huge.

Kallista's late game damage feels pretty lacking. But maybe that's because of the whole Runaans instead of getting an IE at some point.
