Sooooo... I haven't watched the entire NA LCS this week, but I have a question Was Lee Sin actually not picked this week? Edit: Checked, 1 ban from the Coast game on day one, but no actual picks. Calax fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Mar 23, 2015 |

It's amazing what actually buffing junglers instead of nerfing them all can do for the game's health isn't it

Buff Lee Sin and Khazix back up and the tanks all instantly go back out of meta again because level 2 invades keep them from ever getting the money to even upgrade their machete.

Flameingblack posted:The jungle was getting to the point where support players were just as strong as junglers through most of the game because they were so starved, I'm okay with the tank meta because at least they scale well into the late game. It's just a shame it's taken away Reignover's Rengar. Oh yeah, I agree. I am firmly, FIRMLY convinced beefy-rear end megatank junglers make for a better game because they tend to have ganks you can juke and ways you can set them back, contra the bruisery shitlords that just poo poo up the jungle and get one-gank-one-kill lane raids for free. The games this week back it up. I'm just saying, you couldn't have gotten here if the bruisers hadn't all been taken out back and put down first. EDIT: Keven posted:Not really, it's not like nidalee can't do this right now. Nid's first clear is slow enough now that the trap got kneecapped that she doesn't get a free invade, at least. She's still dumb, but not Kha'zix-pre-kneecapping levels of dumb where if he came into your jungle you had to instantly back or die.

I do agree that the only reason people are playing insanely bad jungles like Zac is because every good jungler was nerfed every two weeks for three years but I dont think that points towards the inherent degenerate nature of atrox.

The only thing making tank junglers relevant is the Kha'Zix nerfs that happened before Season 4 started. Lee Sin is still a menace keeping 90% of all junglers under 50% winrate in pro or non pro league

Unless the joke is that, much like any random man off the street, a sentence without an as is disgusting and creepy. Nah, no joke. It just doesn't mean anything and is pointless to say. Why wouldn't all the players be attempting to perform at their best (unless their is a gambling ring which is a different and more interesting dilemma)? The camera will pan down to some AD mindlessly afk farming a wave pushed back to them because that's literally the only person doing anything on the map, and Rivington feels compelled to comment that they're "doing what they need to get farmed up". Just let the color guy talk about the broader strategy! "Nunu's just gonna go take his wolves, after he grabbed the raptor camp." SHUT UP RIVINGTON gently caress YOUR TAUTOLOGY The TSM games were both entertaining this weekend, and the UOL bloodbath was awesome.

So, a member of TSM's challenger team leaked scrim info to Fusion. TSM dropped them (they were 1-7 so probably going to get dropped anyway). Now the players say they're going to sue TSM for wrongful termination.

Andy “Reginald” Dinh, CEO of SoloMid Corporation, had dropped their challenger squad following a scrim leaking scandal and poor performance in the NACS, stating “If I wanted players who leaked scrims and went 1-7, I’d put them in the top lane.” Will Reginald's bullying of Dyrus never stop?

5.6 patch notes are out. Buffs for EVERYBODY! (And nerfs to Leblanc and Irelia). And singed gets a % max health damage added to his E. They are really embracing this Tank meta aren't they?

Calax posted:5.6 patch notes are out. Buffs for EVERYBODY! (And nerfs to Leblanc and Irelia). Some other random things I noticed that might have more bearing on competitive: -Scuttler Shrine vision is way lower (1350->525), which is about half the vision of a ward, so taking the scuttler will mean less of a vision stranglehold. Should be easier to sneak baron/dragon even with the shrine up. -More jungle XP means stronger junglers/better tanks for teamfights. -Twitch has been starting to come back, we'll see if the poison buff will make his early game less exploitable and make him even more common. He does work well in megatank teamfight comps too. -Zilean got a lot of buffs, but I don't know if its enough to make him worth picking again.

Truly an exciting age/ I like being really tanky, having a sightstone to provide vision, building no damage items whatsoever, and still somehow doing a ton of damage as well as CC. I'm ready to give up supporting in favor of being a real support. My support endgame fantasy is 5.5 jungling.
