I'm still trying to figure out how ahq was planning on winning that game if intz hadn't handed them the baron at 24 minutes

What's the idea behind finishing Ruby Sightstone before starting on Locket in pro play? My thought would be that getting your Locker up is more valuable than the Sightstone upgrade but I keep seeing it.


It's better if you're actively trying not to fight for the foreseeable future. A case can also be made that if you do want to fight, your opponents probably won't so you still won't get a lot of value from the aura in comparison to the extra picks you can create with more wards

Rofl that baron call. Also, does SSG have the perfect comp for this patch?

yes, i can't believe the power of cross map plays with tahm kench atm

also its not hurting ssg that cuvee is literally playing the games of his life at worlds

The cross map plays definitely won them this game but somehow they also have great disengage and peel, decent waveclear, 3 tanky bodies to deny the poke comp and plenty of late game damage between the sivir and cassiopeia. The more I think of it the less I know how reapered was ever planning on winning this past 25 minutes

If I got it right, it's only slightly below with 7 wins to 8 losses. That surprised me.

Fun fact: c9 destroyed 5 turrets over the entire series. None of those were inner turrets


woops, I only looked at top

h2k are actually closing this out really badly, which is pretty much all on jankos

jayce hammer q is super cool

it also has the lee sin Q effect where if you land your QE combo in ranged form and then run through your gate you HAVE to go for the hammer form Q

Turns out all that extra AD and AP doesn't matter when your squishies still instantly die

Also, it was relatively little extra AP and AD. Karma, Elise and Poppy all build next to no pure damage items and even Caitlyn builds 2 AS items and QSS (only built 120 AD in total). Only Viktor really benefited from the bonus AP

Peanut always goes full/nearly full AP Elise and Viktor has Hex Core and probably had at least 900 ap by that point

628 AP on viktor during that last fight actually. Ori had 668 without the three buffs. I concede the point about Peanut's elise but her AP ratios are relatively poo poo anyway

Who was that lovely S2 or S3 NA team that only won one game all season through a cheese rear end AP nidalee bot lane? Dragonborn or something?

ROX is channelling a good version of them.

Was DB in S3, yeah, with a soraka/nid botlane vs EG. HosaN played nid

I can't wait for faker to pull out the on-hit midlane nautilus as a counter to the MF now. I'm going to be so sad if the next game is going to be full of meta champs again

Personally I'm hoping for AP Assassin Blitz, Malph, or Nautilus

Seju can't anymore afaik.

If this goes to a game 5 I think marc merrill needs to step in and force both teams to go ultimate bravery

Okay I can't believe I'm about to give Serious Analysis of Ashe/MF but

You gotta ban Ashe and you can't pick Zyra before they lock in their support pick.

That 'and' should be an 'or', cause I think the MF support pick is pretty worthless without Ashe but yeah
