Every time PoE signs a contract with a team, he has a clause added that lets him play at least one Kog'maw game per split

A lot of pros have been spamming Ap kog in eu challenger it must be good vs some champs in scrims or something. I know since the rework got reverted it has gotten more play in soloq in general. Its a monster late game but has a very long scale up time.

Jayce has a 29% winrate over 29 games lol

Ya whenever I see Jayce picked I expect the Jayce to have 50cs advantage and be worthless vs the tanks in teamfights. I just don't understand it imo if you want to play Jayce mid is better because he has very good laning phase mid too and you can pick an ap champion like Rumble who isn't garbage vs tanks late game because he can still snipe your backline.

I think it's just that teams are having good results with Jayce crushing lane and snowballing objectives during scrims/practice/solo queue and not having the results transfer over to actual pro play where teams are playing at a higher level.

Imo he can win lane early vs ryze/syndra early with ignite and just kill them since those champs don't take ignite. Its much easier to get a kill with ignite than tp and you snowball harder vs squishy than a tank who can start stacking armor and survive unless u play 100% correctly. But ya I just hate saying Jayce picks unless your gonna play full agro and shove the enemy toplaner's teeth in. If you go midlane and have ap top atleast your comp isn't as garbage when you have top jayce.

The problem with Jayce mid is that the entire lineup of good ap tops is: Rumble and good ap junglers is:

Anyone who didn't watch G2 vs Misfits. It was basically Ivern 1v9 he made his entire team unkillable with 45% cdr went mikaels, athens, knights vow, locket. It was the most tilting thing to watch.

Caught a bit of the c9 game and it was a stomp. Imo even Echo Fox should have beaten IMT. There is 0 synergy in this team.

Best ryze game ever I think. This is how your suppose to play Ryze. Maybe before the rework it was Faker's ryze at s5 but this was probably the nastiest ryze game ever. TL made it 100x easier by being all together instead of pushing lanes individually but maybe they were scared of Ashe or Rengar pick.

Yeah I don't get it, especially since top lane regularly has super tanks at the moment that you need the attack speed and crit to do anything to.

Outside of the first game Echo Fox poo poo on DIG, Akaadian looks pretty good so far

Ya samething with Jayce top. Whenever I see Jayce top and ghostblade+tear Varus I get insta tilted. They both do poo poo tons of dmg but it always ends up being irrelevant. Imo if there is a carry top the Varus poke build is good but Piglet played it when Hauntzer was on Poppy. It's weird because last week everyone was doing the essence reaver/bork atk speed build but this week it changed even in EU everyone is doing the poke build again.

Attack speed varus is way better imo. Because despite being immobile he has good self peel with his ult and e. He does %max hp dmg on his w and with all the bonus attack speed from his passive he is a decent tank killer. No where near a Kog or Vayne but still pretty good. Poke varus your ult does nothing for you if you get dove because your dmg is gated by cdr.

I think its the same reason someone said Jayce was getting picked earlier. Varus ghostblade has stronger earlier powerspike and better laning because of serrated dirk. In scrims people push their leads harder so these snowbally poke champs like Jayce/Varus seem s tier but in pro games people play slower and don't ff so its actually not as op as it may seem.
