The casters are still stuck on the fact that Rumble got a 1v3 kill and are ignoring that he's like 50cs down and has 4 deaths... and then as I'm typing this a really good equalizer...

and now dat baron.

Raid Boss Hecarim engaged.

He is, although the thing that's happening now is always the thing that happens when the patches are tilted in his favor.

He's still a cool ghost horse thing. Also important to remember that in this game he's like 75cs up on his lane opponent and has 8 kills.


Man this game is ugly. At least it's entertainingly ugly.

Not gonna lie, it seems like at this point Fusion says "Engage!" and Dig just shows up with easy flanks.

Fusion are so tilted now, they keep trying to jump at every chance they get but its always an overcommit resulting in punish

Fusion has one of the best support staffs in challenger and they seem to have achieved nothing.

Their shot calling still has serious issues. Thats unfortunately one thing a support staff can never instill - you need players with the right approach to the game to have good decision making. A coach/analyst can help guide their decisions but that's about it.

He has been the best player on Dig this split if you don't count Kiwikid, which you shouldn't, because otherwise there's really nothing to discuss.

Gamsu is probably worth the import slot but honestly CoreJJ isn't. He's not awful or anything but those two import slots are extremely valuable and you need to get more out of it than CoreJJ. You could get comparable value out of any number of NA ADCs

i guess the answer was to put shiphtur on a champ where he can't be passive and watch him achieve nothing with his ridiculous kda

also i'm glad that dig still throws at baron no matter what, the true nalcs tradition

He's played it like total poo poo. He could've Q'd into the wave, he could've ulted behind them to proxy it, pretty much anything but what he did

E: Also I don't think he's upgraded his trinket once this series :argh:

He tried to kill the rumble for some reason, who had Zhonya's.

Also, while I am all for nerfing Hecarim, I feel like Rumble needs to be nerfed just as much, if not more. A champion with a midgame spike THAT high and so easily achievable has literally no business dealing so much lategame damage.

He has been extremely bad for awhile now. He actually looked pretty decent when assassins were big in the meta but he becomes some weird passive player as soon as his team is behind. That was extremely bad last season because they would build comps with the expectation that he would carry. Eventually they just made comps where they hoped he would contribute but honestly a lot of Digs problems the past two splits have been that Shiphtur won't be involved in any capacity no matter how important. It seems like he'd rather lose a game with no deaths than maybe die and win.

highlights: saving his ult to escape when it could have killed 2-3 people.
