I think you are underselling how bad it was. He bought back, instantly used 90% of his manapool to Ball Lightning into a 1v3 in an attempt to gank a TB with Sunder up.

Was it like an Arteezy TI4-style "game-is-over-so-what-the-hell-I'll-buy-midas-on-Alch" play or did they actually have a chance and he destroyed it? Because I could see doing that if you already decided you were calling gg.

Ball lightnings into 3 of DC inc a very low Tb, uses all his mana

NP was behind but the game wasn't conpletely out of hand.

Can't really blame EE for going for that play, it was a desperate situation (next push would most likely have been the nail in the coffin) and both the sunder and manta just went off cooldown after he bought back.

Don't get me wrong, I laughed out loud when it happened but they didn't lose the game there. Like 90% of the EE stuff people complain about in this thread are risky hail mary plays that turn out hilariously awful but don't affect their win % that much.

They've been... not good. Definitely looks like they haven't played the game since the major.

Not sure how you can tell they're not good, they've only played three series since the major? Beat Horde 2-0, split against Liquid, and just lost against C9 0-2

Compared to where they were at the Major, they have looked poor. He also asked how they have been since the Major and splitting with Liquid and going 0-2 vs C9 is the definition of "not good". This isn't to say they aren't going to be better. As I said in my post, they looked like they haven't played in a long time. I imagine as they get back to playing more, they will start to look better.

new game mode is cool even if the hero designs are kinda halfassed, but it would be cooler if they didnt break popular custom games seemingly at random for no reason

idk why cosmetics and a gimmick map should make it impossible to add abilities to towers
