And on a more current note, goddamn Vander. He's on fire after that shitshow yesterday! Guess Roccat is less of a fraud than Gambit.

Well, beyond the first few minutes of the game, Vander looked like the weakest link in Roccat's team and potentiallyone the weakest player in the game. If he hadn't died to so many faceheck R could be much farther ahead in this game.

E: The save on AZir was nice, though.

Eh, he's died as much as Edward but has more kill contribution. NiQ is the weakest link of both teams IMO. He's done absolutely nothing all game.

Aaand, the Polish boys manage to score a win off the back of Overpow's Azir and Jankos's Lee. Good job, Roccat. I'm kinda worried about the future games, though, because the rest of the lanes look rather weak. They replaced the wrong half of their bot lane, imo. Gambit, on the other hand, continues to play like wet poo poo.

Olaf seems to be right below the top tier of junglers right now as far as many competitive junglers are concerned. I played a game of him last night. He seems really strong in the new jungle especially how he increases in strength getting taken low in the early parts of the new jungle.

Sexpansion posted:

Olaf's quietly one of the more powerful junglers recently - I tend to follow what pro players are doing since it's the role I play the most, and they've been using him to counter some of the more CC-heavy team comps that can result when you have something like Annie support + Kalista + Lissandra top on the opposing team.

I came to post the same thing, i have no idea who their ADC is but he's low-key good from what I've seen so far. Really impressed with Huni's ults this game.

:agreed:

Fnatic is doing work. Legit work. I want to see them face Giants or SK before I start really praising them (because they've trashed two completely disorganized teams so far), but they look good. Looks like the old soccer adage of 'if you want to raise a cup raise the boys' applies to LoL as well. Some new blood was just what the scene needed.

Having two people on the other team who dive you with impunity is a lot worse then one.

Add me to the list of people who underrated the new fnatic lineup. I didn't think picking up Rekkles would make Elements stomp everyone but I never thought they would lose that hard.

Another thing that surprised me was Reignover's English. It seems really good. Did anyone else notice he seems to speak with a bit of a French accent though?

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.
I had zero, absolutely zero expectations for FNatic. I figured they'd flat flat on their faces because they created a whole team around an above average support player. This FNatic looks better than the old one. Hooooly poo poo. Their players are all so good, and they found these Koreans from solo queue.

Same. Trying to decide who to drop Diamond for. Tempted to pick up Fr3deric or Impaler because my draft's jungle talent pool is weak, but I'm for sure not keeping anybody from Gambit when next week they're getting fed to the wolves of SK (!) and Fnatic (!!!).

EDIT: Also wtf League of My$tery, how did Yellowstar slip by like this? YOINKED! So long Vander, see ya never!
