The rule is dumb. I wouldn't even want to talk about the game necessarily, just to talk at some point during the 5 minute span. I don't think the teams would benefit that much from talking in the first place.

a tie is also worth more than a loss in trditional point systems

It should be noted that Vitality lacks it's starting ADC. Don't know exactly how much that is playing into the games, but it is a fact.

Also, Airwaks just dunked on EU. Admits the bottom 8 teams are bad haha.

I'd rather have 5 bans a team first tbh.

What if there were small altars in the dragon pit that let you choose the dragon? Stand on them a la twisted treeline, and have either all four available, or maybe just choose from two to reduce variation.

There are so many cool teams in NA this split.

I like Darshan, but he's not the best. He still doesn't team fight well. I think Hauntzer or Impact are probably the best.

I feel like those are paltry amounts compared to The International. I specifically remember an article about Dendi taking home millions to a socialist country.

Shadow225
Jan 2, 2007




You don't need to be entertaining. Dyrus is a top channel on twitch on the reg. Dominate is a lesser retiree, but I think even he has said the compensation is either better or barely below the pro salary, with the caveat of having a much better schedule.

I'm sad no one's playing Aurelion Sol he seems like he'd be solid enough for pro play (we can't really judge him based on Huhi of all people.)

They really need to fix Taliyah's worked ground bullshit, she'd be such a cool champion if that just didn't exist.

Ehhhh, I don't think he will ever catch on. His stun is harder to hit than Ekko. He only has two skills, only really pumps out damage in team fights, isn't super great at wave clear, and is very position reliant. That's a lot of caveats to work through when you can just take Viktor.

What are the view counts like for the lcs these days? Seems like there's not many live posts happening.

I've barely watched any of it, I think all the roster swaps just kill it. Hard to get invested in a team when they aren't around long.

I feel like the number is the same. The EU LCS has always been less popular due to the time zones.

The Spy Fanatic game was so boring they were showing highlights of a failed TP gank and a split pushing Olaf for analysis.

Gamsu up 80 CS to 26 on Wonder St 11 minutes. Just what

Shadow225
Jan 2, 2007




Late, but I hated the Zilean pick in game 2. I guess they were trying to pair with Irelia, but it never materialized.

Proxcin seems to be looking decent this split, yeah?

Nami with Rabadon's and Deathcap. Sell the support items for more damage imo

Fiora stopped seeing play because of her riposte nerf. She's a fine pocket pick because she's really the only split pusher that can snowball out of control. Other split push picks tend to be either tanky or situational.

Yeah but Zed got a buff recently

Jan 2, 2007




Zed was a joke.

For a serious inquiry, why is fabbbbbby in rather than Piglet? Drama, or grooming?

Shadow225
Jan 2, 2007




NV/C9 isn't the most exciting game, but I'm still enjoying it more than most because traditional lanes were played. I hate laneswaps so much because I can't even get excited for a gank.

the stage tech on echo fox's side looked like a pus size Riv

Shadow225

Echo Fox deserves to lose this for not banning Azir. Nearly lost the first game to it, did lose the second game to it, and will lose the third.

what a bungle. a single kill did not affect the entire outcome of the game.

they should be forced to play same comps imo

Shadow225
Jan 2, 2007




Both Immortals and Apex are dumb.

Shadow225
Jan 2, 2007




How to beat Immortals: Ban Rek'Sai, Olaf, and one of Sivir, Lissandra, and Gragas. You take away the one player who knows how to engage, you're solid. Take the Liss so Huni won't grab it and accidentally learn to engage a fight.

The only person on NRG I would bench would be ohq but who would they get? GBM I have hopes will stop slumping.

...maybe Piglet. Piglet and Kiwikid. My word...

Piglet and Kiwi wouldn't be a good pairing imo. Defensive ADC and an aggressive support.

Meanwhile Huhi forced two flashes on a 4 minute roam.

Shadow225
Jan 2, 2007




Not taking anything away from Burger King and the skills he displays, but I'm so tired of seeing Azir melt people. He can siege dps without ever being in danger. He also has insane escape range and an engage/disengage tool., and scales with attack speed of all things?

P1 is the only team I don't like in some fashion in NA. I was never fond of LMQ or TIP, so I'm surely not fond of the crumbling vestige of those squads.

not sure why IMT banned out their own reksai. Karma does not seem like a more powerful pick for them
