Vlad's big problem outside of teamfights is that he consistently has trouble actually sticking to people to complete his combo, something that FQC solves nicely.

He was winning lane hard though in terms of pressure and cs. MVP look like poo poo. This might be finally the year where they don't randomly make playoffs.

That solo kill was so loving stupid, he drew tower aggro alone against a loving Ornn so he just got knocked up, took multiple tower shots and by the time he was able to get any separation he just got ulted and died.

Ya even though he played the rest of the lane well that was incredibly stupid. Also Illaoi in pro play is just wut? Unless you have aoe cc or crazy tp's with illaoi you are not gonna do anything. Too bad because she is really fun to watch and is more interesting than boring tanks. Bruisers are always gonna be ultra trash or too op.

Is it not a little weird that preseason was where they supposedly intended to test a whole bunch of crazy stuff but then did very minute changes and waited until the season started to announce a huge shift in the support play paradigm

Their subtitle for the split is Beginning of the End as well. Anyway one 47 minute pause later we're actually in the draft and Ornn and Zoe still not being banned. E: VEIGAR njsykora fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Jan 17, 2018 |

Well, I guess Afreeca is winning Game 1. I guess KT is trying to see what they can get away with (Hint: They probably won't get away with putting PawN on Veigar)

They might get away with it if Afreeca forget how to take tier 2 towers and just let Veigar get dem fat stacks. E: Or Spirit could forget what a smite is. njsykora fucked around with this message at 10:35 on Jan 17, 2018 |

So do you think this double relic shield meta is gonna end with Riot making the heal and gold proc only off the execute? Or will the loss of the shield from targon's be enough to dissuade adcs from building it?
|
# ? Jan 17, 2018 11:18 |

Riot will do it in the dumbest way possible, so probably by making Relic Shield completely unviable then buffing 2 other items that are twice as oppressive and creating a new meta with much more annoying champions.

Bang's clearly been practicing his heart out, which is good to see. Faker's still looking absolutely rock solid and shows no signs of plateauing. Interested in seeing if Wolf jungle is a one-and-done thing or if they're seriously going to try out this weird swapping strategy. I mean, let's be fair: that entire game was Faker and Bang manhandling the competition. The Boomerang Blade steal tilted ROX into oblivion and they just took lovely engage after lovely engage after that.

Just watched the KT vs Afreeca game. -Kiin seems like a really good carry top. He doesn't have Marin level of pressure but he did well vs Smeb in all matchups. -Kuro outperformed Pawn in every game imo even the 2nd game. Kuro is good on Azir is a really surprising thing to say in 2018. -Score had some good early pressure in some of the games but Spirit kept up with him. Smeb seemed to be only one playing well throughout the series and Mata. -Deft not building qss lost them the last game. They have a comp to protect vayne but no qss or mikaels. I actually want to see Ucal+Rush now. Pawn/Score are alright but Pawn is inconsistent and also Score getting baron stolen in game 1 was a big deal. E: Saw SKT vs ROX. Rox look way better than last split and SKT seem to be experimenting a lot more with Wolf jungle + their new support. Faker really carried hard the games they won.

B01s are going to be weird for NA, but it will be nice to actually watch all the games I want to watch since I usually have to fit them in with my busy schedule. I also get to figure out which team to cheer for. Do I follow my "always cheer for Doublelift" with Team Liquid, go for the forever champions TSM, or go with the Houston Rockets' clutch gaming? Other question, since I've mostly been gone: why did Huni go to Echo Fox?????????????????

njsykora posted:Got the blame for SKT not winning Worlds despite being their best player in the final and came back to NA. Ya there was a really weird narrative of Untara being better than Huni being pushed by some analysts and journalists despite Untara getting shat on hard by Khan. Huni played well vs Khan each time despite getting heavily camped by BDD roams + Cuz. Not saying Untara is much worse than Huni but just that they were on a similar level imo. Also why didn't SKT pick up an adc or real jungler in the off season? Their weakest player at worlds was easily Bang. Faker, Wolf and Huni were pretty good. Their junglers both seem inconsistent. One series Blank looked like a jungling wizard, the next game he would look like he has never jungled before and Peanut was aggro some games but other games he just let all his lanes lose so he could farm.
