Playoffs should be really good this year with all the teams getting Best Of experience. I like TSM & IMT for 2 of the spots right now. CLG might not go to worlds after performing so good at MSI

blah_blah posted:Darshan is actually not very good either. They invest a ton of resources into him and he hard carries once in a while but he has no map awareness, makes tons of bad decisions, and has a bad habit of relentlessly feeding when behind. best na top laner tho

I like Darshan, but he's not the best. He still doesn't team fight well. I think Hauntzer or Impact are probably the best.

Finally caught up on nalcs ... Really enjoying both nrg and NV right now. Ohq is really good. Darshan looks like he forgot how to play league of Legends. Bunny should just be c9s new support, that thread game was amazing. C9 as a whole aren't looking too bad. I'm really happy to see incarnation winning mid, we need more people who can poo poo on huhi and pobelter SSJ_naruto_2003 fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Jun 13, 2016 |

Stixx has proved himself. Huhi's been having trouble. Doesn't help that Zion hasn't been able to play his "split for eternity then win!" strat he favors.

It worked for two splits and a tournament pretty well but most of NA and the rest of the world was a dumpster fire as far as teamwork and support staff (I think CLG's support staff were a huge factor in their success) went. Now that NA has several teams who seem to have similar synergy and coaching and have mechanically better players (particularly in Mid) I don't think it can keep working for them. If Huhi doesn't unlock his inner potential by playoffs I expect to see him step down after the season. It is Counter Logic Gaming though so who loving knows.

Huhi is real bad. Like, there is no fixing Huhi. Stixxay can carry, and is not bad. Even Xsmithie is somehow not terrible anymore. Honestly if they get rid of Huhi, CLG has a real shot at being a great team instead of a mediocre team that managed to win two splits because everyone else was making GBS threads the bed.

Huhi has no positives. He bad at laning and he's bad at teamfighting (BUT HE WORKS SO HARD) so CLG have nobody to blame but themselves. I have no idea how CLG made it so far at MSI except other teams not working very hard.

So apparently SKT perfect gamed MVP in 22 minutes while having a 20k gold lead. That should be a fun game to watch.

I know Darshan is supposedly pretty good but it definitely seems like he's been having a bad time lately. Also pretty disappointed in Pobelter after losing so badly when he got the counterpick, what's up with that?

Darshan is bad and Huhu is bad and they always were bad. Aphro and Stixxay will turn the ship around in time to get them to playoffs and from then on its everyone's game

Now that I'm allowed to post again I have some thoughts from yesterday TSM vs Immortals was good FOX continue to hurt me, and I don't know why kfo keeps playing fiora when other carry top laners are better

I was busy all day yesterday, I saw TSM/Immortals though and that was a great series. Are any of the other Sunday series worth watching either for sheer excellence or profound comedy?

Libertine posted:Holy gently caress Bunny and Sneaky took a fat poo poo on Stixxay/Aphro. The sub decision makes sense if their plan is to try to get both supports time - when you're up a game in a series it is the best time to try different things, especially if you're convinced your baseline strategy isn't beatable by your opponent. Incidentally the best time to try new things is also when you're down a game.

I think this is another season of mid, support, and jungle dominance. Competitive league has mostly settled into a meta where the players on the team, assuming somewhat equal laning skill, we have teams living and dying by their map play and pick ban. I actually talked to flaxxish last night in his stream a little and he said that he was the only player on his team (NOVA in NACS) who thought irelia was strong. They didn't realize how good she was until someone else in LCS played her. I still have no idea how pro teams, even 2nd and 3rd tier pro teams look at a patch and don't instantly know what is going to be strong and what will be weak.

I will never forget after Elise getting absolutely crushed by nerfs during the offseason, C9 basically first picking her and doing garbage and Meteos having no idea what happened. Or during the patch(s) that Ahri was absolutely unbelievably busted I think only LMQ picked her and it was exactly once even though she totally dominated.

I think that Lucian and Ezreal will always be viable in pro play because a lot of teams simply aren't capable of babysitting a Caitlyn or playing around their ADC.

Yeah I think his argument was something about mobility but I am pretty sure even Tristana would have been a better pick.
