It's one thing to say Origen outscale SKT in a vacuum, but then SKT might get to 5 dragons. And that's baron. Dang.

pushing for that 10k lead at 30 min.

oh ya if you say "clocks don't apply to SKT," why are they trying so hard to win before the game goes late?

they know when and where their strength is. ori shores up the mid->late game transition if it goes a little long.

in the previous game they played slowly until their comp came online, because they were playing a late game comp against an mid game comp. that's part of why OG looked so strong for so long: they were where skt is now.

skt is now playing a mid game comp against a late game comp, and they are absolutely aware of the clock.

They also tried to win the last game early, but it didn't work out for them and they wound up winning it late.

OG played very well the first game, much better than this game; SKT did the same thing they often do, beat you at your best and crush your spirit.

Against this draft, definitely. There's no really beefy frontline to keep them off Anivia, and Wall just ain't enough.

I feel like the Anivia makes sense to hold off a splitpush, such as how they lost last game. But SKT aren't playing the same way this game and I don't think Anivia is doing anything.
