Might have been okay if CLG managed to escape while Immortals killed Braum a second time. Instead, WildTurtle decided to solo chase into the jungle and got two kills.

That feeling when you catch out the enemy ADC and can't kill him through the shields and heals. Felt a lot like the NRG game where CLG played well, traded kills, but then just got run over.

I like how Cho was pretty much doing his own thing during these teamfights, like in the river where he ran all the way down to nibble on Zilean.

Hoping that your opponent will send their entire team to kill a 25% support who can't do anything other than die in two hits to Nidalee is awfully optimistic.

I still think (and argued same many pages back) that Adrian is absolutely doing the support meta 100% correct right now and many other people should be imitating what he's doing. Janna/Soraka just give so much back line throughput to keep extended fights rolling.

yeah, it also feels like that things were going well for clg and then darshan was a moron in bot and they basically never caught back up

It's not that he's good, it's that his team is just as okay saying "gently caress it, LET'S DO THIS!" as he is.

This is the same stuff he did on TSM, but Lustboy would usually be off warding as Turtle died, while Adrian stands there like "Okie dokie neighboroonie!" and makes sure Turtle doesn't do the faceplant.

CLG was playing a decent game and was in a pretty good spot despite huhi wasting tp on cooldown till darshan got his entire team killed bot lane. Just my opinion.

A lot of teams tend to play super conservatively. I bet TSM would have taken the sure kill.

It doesn't hurt that Janna and Soraka are also really good at keeping an aggressive ADC alive.

I think it might actually be worse to target him because then IMT would get a ton of power picks and he'd probably just swap to Alistar or something. Maybe Nami!

there's a lot of supports playing a bunch of nami right now iirc in soloqueue. She seems to have all the same problems that she used to have though idk

Hoping the enemy team sees you blow the most important team fight skill cool down and goes "better back away conservatively" is not a winning play against anyone.

Lovechop posted:

During the latter part of summer split people were talking up Adrian after he got benched, because he's a good support at a lot of things. He's afaik still the highest warding support, but he almost always wards defensively. I think to attack IMT you have to try to gain jungle control and see how Adrian and Reignover work together when you're warding aggressively and in their jungle.

i think she's good against specific comps but everyone likes to run high mobility bruisers and adcarries now and nami isn't too good against them

Because Adrian didn't play Soraka but twice in last summer (Hell, during the playoffs and/or gauntlet no?)

The real problem with CLG's draft was that Ryze.
