Yeah, there's no way they knew when the dragon was gonna spawn so it was actually impossible to prep the side waves.

it's almost like they decided to go for baron first and the dragon was a secondary objective for them

henkman, a baron spawned. you can't prep side waves before objectives, dawg, because you're mad at rabidsquid and don't have time because he makes fun of your favorite team.

idk if Quas is especially bad at wave management at the moment or it's some team wide issue but he's straight up just losing CS from not being able to manage waves bouncing. i was watching to see if his farm was being given over to GBM or OhQ in these games but it doesn't seem like that's the case so much as whenever he rotates to catch a wave he's not managing it and missing CS or letting it shove back. any time there's a tower trade he's ending the laning phase down a significant amount of CS for basically no reason other than his wave management.

Monte actually said he hasn't played a game of League in a year and a half

Maybe he's smarter than all of us actually.

Tales of Woe posted:

quas was one of my favorite players before and it's painful to watch him now, he's either not comfortable on maokai or he's just not all there anymore

Quas just wants to smoke trees everyday he RP's as Maokai it was in his contract it's the only thing he will play.

I'm not sure why anyone gets Swain on this patch. I would ban that every game. It's so insanely game warping.

I'd add Irelia and Vlad to the permaban pool on 6.11 because Vlad shuts down a lot of the cool midlaner picks like Kassadin and irelia is just stupid as hell

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.
