Lovechop posted:yeah, I changed my mind a bit about him after I saw the interview with him and Thorin, 'cause iirc that game was against Gambit and CW to decide who would get demoted and at the end of this huge deciding match Amazing just jumped into their entire team for no reason and died. their whole team was incredibly bad and I think he just snapped because he seems like one of those dudes who would kill himself practicing while the rest of the team weren't too bothered. doesn't completely excuse his being a bellend but I can understand a bit better. wonder what he'll be like on a decent team anyway. "I'm just too passionate about winning" and "my team is just too bad for me" is like the most solo queue excuse for being toxic.

Libertine posted:Forgiven is really loving good. I always thought he was a great solo queue player who was always mediocre in competitive. I don't know if that's the case now. Maybe it was his team that was total poo poo back when he played previously. I'm curious if this holds or if it turns out to be yet another "solo queue star plays well the first few weeks and then utter collapse"/

I'd be willing to take a chance on Amazing but I wouldn't risk Dexter coming and and getting into fights with the midlaner. Transient People posted:I wouldn't be so sure. Jax counters Gnar, or so the theorycraft goes. I wanna see him fight a Renekton or Irelia before saying he's that good. Game 1 had Jax versus Renekton. Giants seem to have really strong top/jungler synergy so I'd consider the ban since they're 2/2 in getting their Jax fed. Hypocrisy fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Jan 23, 2015 |

I think it's far too much to call Jax a Gnar counter. Gnar can bully him pretty hard early on (Your 70 mana, 16 second cooldown counterstrike does not even come close to protecting you from Gnar's autoattacks) and he can, you know, always use his hop after Jax uses his jump. Being resource-less while Jax is limited by Mana is a big advantage early on too. I wouldn't look at Giants v. CW as evidence either way with the strong jungler presence in the lane during the first few minutes.

Flipswitch posted:You know I'm not too sure how this looks. Either Alliance are so bad that despite being one of the top EU teams are losing to a newcomer team, or UOL are so good that they're beating one of the top EU teams. Alliance, the super team that started 0/6 in the LCS and ended getting knocked out of worlds because of a the Brazilian wildcard team. Perhaps Elements will have a similar life. That was rough, the Blitz hook pulled Jarvan out of ball range.

Santorin didn't even flex. Very disappointing performance from TSM because of that. I think the Elise pick didn't work out. I think I know why Phreak's new beard bothers me. If you would rotate his head so his hair is his beard and his beard is his hair...he would look the same! Hypocrisy fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Jan 24, 2015 |

I am astounded how well TSM did despite losing every dragon but one. That is probably the most surprising thing to me. Even down a few towers, C9 had perfect dragon control and it was not enough. I would have put a lot more weight onto Dragon but this game makes me back up on that now.

Lightning Knight posted:In Season 4 that would've meant a lot more because the Dragon and Baron gold might have kept them in the game longer, but in Season 5 perfect Dragon control doesn't matter if you're losing in turrets and kills because it won't make up for the gold deficit. No I agree but I thought the dragon buffs, and more importantly keeping those buffs off the enemy team, would make up for that. I would have considered trading a dragon for a turret to be well worth it. Maybe even 2 turrets if you are preventing the enemy team from getting that first buff and you're getting the 4th or 5th buff. I do like how that last battle ended the way playoffs ended, with WildTurtle critting Sneaky over and over.

Lightning Knight posted:I dunno, this game was just bafflingly bad from C9. Their draft was awful - Meteos on J4 would've made that a completely different game, giving Santorin Rek'Sai was a horrible decision because even if he's completely awful and does nothing of value on his own he can sit in sonar vision and be entirely useful to his team - their rotations, vision control, and wave control were all questionable. How the gently caress did they get outwarded when they had two Sightstones?! Balls and Hai also were not doing work on their chosen champions, even if it would've made them a 4 AD team Hai would've been a lot more useful on Zed or hell, even Orianna (why doesn't he play more Orianna, he's actually good at Orianna!) and Balls did nothing on Gnar at all. Lemon would've been better off on Morgana into Janna and Sneaky just got outranged to hell by Jinx rockets. That was just... really depressing, honestly. I mean yeah, poor draft and some questionable play. But I think it's interesting to see if we've been overvaluing dragon a bit. Lovechop posted:gnar can easily solo carry a game off one decent ult, i wasn't fully watching but most of balls' ones seemed pretty lovely Balls did not play a good Gnar but it's tough finding a good Gnar ult with an Ahri running circles around you and WildTurtle playing super safe/getting protected by a Janna.
