So apparently Ryze is 1-8 in NA LCS. Fiora is 14-1. Good job CLG.

1-9 now for Ryze. He was 1-8 before this game.

Ryze's skill ceiling is insane.

I don't think anyone needs to ban it in NA.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

KOO played Ashe a couple of days ago and Pray is probably the best Ashe in the world by some margin and it only worked okay because he has amazing accuracy on the ashe arrows.

Ashe is not a good pick right now and def. not a 2nd rotation pick.
Pray regularly hits arrows at second tier top turret from base, there's no doubt that he's probably the best Ashe player of all time. It kind of makes me want to see him play with the Cloud9 comp with Rumbe/Ashe/Zyra

Yeah I don't think anyone who isn't Pray should be considering Ashe in the current patches.

Seriously, I would have taken Sivir over Ashe. At least then CLG could run away faster as TSM descended upon them and dragged them into the abyss.

Sivir doesn't have much purpose in this meta either, but Jinx would have been okay. Not that Sivir is useless, her ultimate just means a little less than when she was dominate

Ryze also doesn't usually handle lane swaps well does he? He really needs to get his tear and rod going to get them stacking early and the top lanes usually seem to get starved during lane swaps. And NA teams love them some lane swaps.

I'M A BIG STUPID IDIOT WHO GETS TRIGGERED FROM THE WORDS SPORTS BALL AND HAS SHIT OPINIONS ABOUT CARD GAMES. ALSO I SAID I WAS GOING TO QUIT HEARTHSTONE OUT OF SPITE OF A TAIWANESE WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP SO REPORT ME IF YOU SEE ME POST IN A HS THREAD

Savage Cracker posted:

Not really sure that TSM did much better than they have done recently. If they didn't get the best toplaner and botlane combo in the current meta plus a strong jungler and the ability to counterpick mid and then regular lane matchups on top of that, that game would likely have been completely different.

Agreed that if TSM hadn't easily won the game, they could have lost it. Once again, an under-performance from the struggling tsm.

balls v huni has got to be the biggest mismatch in any of the "top teams"

Radical
Apr 6, 2011

predictions for this match:

- c9 picks nidalee for rush so he can prove who the MVP korean jungler is in NA and spends the entire game killing Reignover's wolf camp
- reignover and huni spend the entire game killing the 300 gold catapult minion in c9's top lane
- hai and sneaky overcommit onto adrian's soraka or whatever the gently caress he picks and die
- the casters remark that the team looks a lot worse when hai is behind and cannot shotcall as effectively
- midlane is probably just two waveclear heroes or something

This is actually a good pick ban for Cloud 9. I'm surprised. Shouldn't have taken Lee Sin so early unless you're trying to save counter picks but ehh.

I'm pretty excited to see Jhin though.

I don't know if it matters who you ban against Immortals because they're so much better than any other team right now AND they can use more than one team comp. Just ban the OP picks and pray for the best.
