It's ok if you have an adc worth protecting, but Rekkles on loving blue Ezreal doesn't need two supports.

Karma mid just doesn't scale very well, and the wave clear is decent but not great. Honestly I think something like Vel'koz or Anivia or even Morg would be a much more effective pick with just as much if not more wave clear.

edit: or even loving Ahri, why does no one play Ahri anymore?

I think teams are just addicted to the mantra shield, but it really should just come out of the support pick

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.

It's more that Splyce are actually just better than Fnatic imo

Splyce being really good is cool and fun imo.

kikis was in small gnar form so lee ult is the only immobilizing effect that would count for the stun from riposte, so it had to be

it's pretty silly to watch a team like fnatic forget how to control sidewaves and do pick ban and play the game

I'm pretty sure Sivir has been like the best competitive champion in the game for like 3 or 4 patches.

Fnatic has greatly improved with the top lane prowess of Kikis, he soloed a bunch of guys and they won all their games with him

for as much Lucian got picked this season and as much Ashe it feels like we're seeing, Sivir has been picked almost as much as both of them combined if you count p/b from all regions

We're seeing the real test of Sivir's power here, is the champion good enough to win a game for Origen.

Why does Origen ever pick Azir? The Emperor has cursed their house.

# ? Jul 21, 2016 18:52

their entire support staff left so origen is letting the one guy in the house who knows all the champion names do their pick ban

I've missed most of the LCK lately, has Monte already had his meltdown over the announced changes to the early game, and if yes, where can I watch it?

So I'm just watching ROC vs S04 now (I'm not sure why), and Sprattle getting first blooded while trying to do the cute support-harasses-jungle/top felt really good to watch (because watching that harass is boring at best, frustrating at worst) but also kind of baffling.

That's actually happened several times this season. I guess the logic is that the support can always blow both Summoners at level 1 and it doesn't hurt that much timing wise but when they go into doing it they tend to never expect the 2nd or 3rd person there who can assist in killing them I don't really get it.

e: LOL I just watched it, he tried to invade Rek'Sai/Rumble as Janna. What the gently caress.

In ROC/S04 game 1, ROC Raise flashes on Alistar to engage on Schalke's bot lane but he's at least like 3x Flash distances away from them and so he just flashes towards them and pounds the ground and then walks into the tower and does nothing. I'm kind of speechless.
