I feel like I'm probably gonna continue mostly ignoring LPL until I see a post from rabidsquid grudgingly admitting that a team with an S3 KT Rolster member is good now, at which point I'mma relentlessly hype them up for the rest of that sesason So, y'know, let me know if that ever happens man

This feels like Immortals have been getting their asses kicked all over the rift for a long time now - how are they only down 3K gold? I guess that gap is misleading on account of it doesn't tell you how much of that gold is on a Vlad and a Twitch

That was a tremendous series. Obviously I would've preferred an IMT win, but if this what a struggling IMT looks like right now, it feels like it'll be at least another season before I hop off their bandwagon

They're still not playing very well but I feel like the 21-minute over-the-wall baron bait into a 4 for 0 flank is enough of a goofy play that I'm not ashamed of liking IMT anymore today

So if the LCK season ended here, who would be first place? KT because they have a better game record (15-7 vs. 14-7), or ROX because they beat KT? The "Show Tiebreaker Rules" link isn't working for me on Esportswikis, it may not have gotten ported over properly from Esportspedia

See, that's what I was leaning since that's how other regions typically do it, but the wiki has KT listed before ROX and I think I remember the casters saying KT was "now in 1st place" after their JAG win the other day (ROX had already played their 9th match by that point) Either way, thanks for the confirmation. KT is my favorite League of Legends team so I'm a little sad that they're not for real 1st place, but I have faith in them for the back half of the split

So I haven't actually played the game in a couple years and my game knowledge has really gone to poo poo. Accordingly, I have a hard time reading team comps beyond the basics and what casters say about them, so I was wondering if there are any good resources for: 1) Who outscales who in each role 2) What kind of comp each champion belongs in, e.g. I can't really tell which team wants to teamfight and which wants to siege/spit/poke/whatever unless one has something really obvious like a Jax or a bunch of long range poke and wave clear

Libertine posted:It would take an enormous post to explain that for every role and is hard to convey without background context. I don't know how to tackle it. Yeah, that's why I was hoping there was already a resource for it - League of Legends fans love making elaborate database websites. There's no way I'd ask for a full answer to those questions from scratch, because of pretty much what you said

mistaya posted:In case I misunderstood what you asked, Unfortunately, yeah. I have a general sense of what champions are strong, just in the sense of "I've seen this one a dozen times this week and it hasn't looked like an embarrassing and confusing pick in action", but the trickier part is understanding why the strong champions are strong, like, did they pick this one because they want a really strong split-pushing comp, or a really strong teamfighting comp, or a really strong pick comp, or a really strong siege comp, or so forth. When it's not multiple obvious indicators at once, like they've got Trundle top, Nidalee jungle, Varus mid, Caitlyn ADC and Braum support and I can say oh that's obviously meant to poke and disengage, I tend to have a hard time understanding what a team's "win conditions" are, to borrow the old Monte phrase

Yeah, I think honestly that's a good reminder that helps me feel less dumb about the whole thing - when my own knowledge base is this limited, it's easy to feel like I'm missing a lot of the strategic richness of the drafting process, when realistically, most of these teams are going to be assembling their comps largely on the basis of "X is available? He's really strong, let's pick him"

How about the other half of the question, the scaling part? Like, I know a few champions that scale really well and I get the stacking item rule of thumb, but there are so many points where the casters go "Well, blue team just have to keep things even until Sivir can hit her break points and start putting out massive crit damage" and I'm like... wait... doesn't the other team have hard scaling guys too? I think maybe a better way to ask the question is who doesn't scale well in the key carry roles? Like there are enough popular hard-scaling AP and AD carries that it seems like they can all pretty much blow everyone up late game if they get some good positioning and initiation and peel, but I know like... mid Karma, for example, is a kind of "get ahead by mid-game or you're in trouble" pick. And I know that comps with only 1 damage type are really easy to itemize against, so they also fall off as the game goes on. But like, who's like that among ADCs, because it seems like casters want to hype up the destructive power of everyone in the role? Lucian?
