Now that the UK is no longer in the EU does that mean that all British players now count as imports? How will this affect the power structure of EULCS?

nah it won't affect anything, we're still a european country even if we aren't in the eu.

which is for the best because the uk superteam of alphari, impaler, gross gore and kasing with some random diamond 3 adc probably wouldn't get off the ground

On redit they were talking about forming a new league consisting of UK, Turkey, and Russia...

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

Dropping pink wards in the center of lanes in pro play is like setting money on fire. You see it often and it never really makes sense to me.

I think the idea is to ensure there are no wards behind them when they move up?

This Fnatic and Roccat game is good because I can't tell who is winning because people just constantly get caught and die for no reason / objective and then they trade kills back and forth.

I love that the entire conceit behind Varus being a good midlaner is that you need to poke and not get engaged on and yet Roccat are consistently unable to disengage from any of these fights.

I can't remember if I read it here or on reddit or somewhere else. I think the mid-lane competitive meta champions are definitely loving the game up right now.

Azir is so insanely nerfed right now and he still is an ungodly loving pile of poo poo to deal with it in a competitive game. He easily chokes out 50% or more of the pool of potential picks just by existing.

Isn't this why Riot is already planning on mixing up the Assassins next? God forbid they actually balance the game instead of creating weird metagame shifts.

Yeah I mean he's obviously hosed. Didn't they say they would rework him? I personally don't think he should have insane zoning, insane mobility, an insane team fight ultimate, insane sustained and burst damage. I feel like maybe having 3 out of 5 of those things would be good.

And this is after they stripped allied buffs and best-in-class turret-taking potential. I think the core issue is that for 40 mana + a sand soldier cooldown he gets to control space + clear a minion wave. Other mages are looking at probably 150-ish to even think about doing that and they're sacrificing area control/threat, not magnifying it.

The main problem is that he has sustained aoe poke from 1000+ units away, so in addition to his crazy scaling and team fight presence, he can hold a tower pretty much indefinitely even under threat of a dive. if they cut down his soldier command range and his q range he would be garbage for solo queue but balanced for competitive.

Or teams need to start playing Varus and Fizz again.
