Official League of Legends Thread: Trolls and AFK's Galore PART II

[XFactah416]

Yup.

Xin Zhao is freelo right now, tfw 1vs2ing a full HP Jinx and Akali (with Zhonya) at 30% HP and killing them both.

Ironically, Xin Zhao was always strong and has been strong.

He just wasn't played because he has no way out of fights but I guess right now since he can blow people the **** up he doesn't need a way out. Even before he gets his feral flare he does retarded amounts of damage. Right when season 3 came out he was a priority pick too, got a nerf, and now he finds resurgence, go figure.

[Ishkandir]

LOL thought for sure TSM was going to lose. But damn games 2 and 3 were pretty nail biting. They've been playing pretty awful lately.

Dat choke

It's pretty mind-boggling that CLG could be so unprepared for that 3rd game. Seemed like once Nocturne got first-picked they just crumbled mentally, despite having 2 weeks to prepare for their matchup.

At the very least they should have swapped lanes at the start. Everyone knows how Renekton essentially wins his lane automatically, yet he hadn't been picked up until that point because he's bad at taking turrets, which is what the early meta-game has evolved into. Instead, CLG let him lane vs. Trundle, then ganked him once he hit 6 to blow his ult before ganking him a minute later for a kill. That's a ridiculous amount of time to invest for a single kill, especially since it didn't help Trundle's laning at all (Lee got the kill), and they lost Dragon during that time as well.

Was hilarious when nocturne got first picked away. Nien and Dexters faces just fell.

you better show us the pictures you take

[Jachin]

Been playing trynd lately, haven't lost lane yet. Gone even or easy kills every time fun champ
Also got curse voice the other day seems useful, haven't used the chat but the timers for ults and drag/baron are handy

[XFactah416]

When they locked in Trundle for Nien the game was over. Like literally Nien looked like he was having a panic attack on stage when they picked Trundle. I feel for him but he was incredibly cocky after game 1 and then two grave errors in game 2 put him in full out tilt mode. The Nocturne pick and the Lucian ban pretty much put CLG in an irrecoverable position because clearly they were banking on those two champs.

I actually think everyone but Aphro and Double, and Aphro seems like he doesn't give a **** at all win or lose which is good IMO, were on serious tilt after choking away game 2. And I can't necessarily blame them; I too would be mentally devastated.

Think TSM is going to get absolutely raped tomorrow even though I'm rooting for them. During the middle of the Spring Split they looked dominant as hell, and even they were just good enough to be even if not slightly better than C9. But the latest patch threw a wrench in their game, and they're struggling against low ranked teams that they used to stomp and are struggling hard. C9 on the other hand haven't missed a beat.

[AlternativeEgo]

Peasantly easter reps for next 5.

Corki went AFK in the 2nd minute, das it mane.

C9 is really unreliable when it comes to the most important matches. This combined with Bjergen's carry potential i'd say the odds are 60/40 in favor of C9.

Yea but TSM is arguably playing at their worst. Unless they get it together, which I doubt b/c they had 2 weeks to do it and they still haven't, I really can't see them winning. Go TSM

[Jaccogo]

too much lag at school to play

man when i go home for summer having no lag will be so liberating lol

And who cares about spring playoffs it means really nothing. It's all about Summer playoffs.

i just dont wanna see TSM go to all-stars. every time they go outside of NA, especially vs asian teams they cant win a series. at least c9 has taken a series off Fnatic (whos going), taken games off TPA and WE (TPA is going), so i think they have a better chance

i guess on the + side if TSM goes we hopefully get to see the Bjersen vs Faker matchup

As a die hard CLG fan, yesterday crushed me. I haven't played a game in months, and damn that was just saddening.

It was sad seeing them falling to the same patterns and general indecisiveness, first two games were great though.

[Dabears123]

nien is terrible, he loses lane consistently, i was dissapointed in CLG yesterday, bench nien and CLG will rise!

I agree with you,

people have a lot of empathy towards him for some reason, but lettuce be cereal he hasn't won his lane on competitive matches even once clearly and usually falls behind a lot.

[backintheda]

2 wins into bronze 2 with 40elo. I'd like to be to silver V by next weekend.

[XFactah416]

TSM is getting baited into the Feral Flare hype when it's **** in competitive play. Fantastic and overpowered in solo queue though.

You can't afford to farm up the big jungle creeps and Oddone was trying to counter jungle Elise in the beginning.

Something like Nocturne would be ok because his ulti creates so much chaos no matter how coordinated you are but Xin needs to snowball ahead to be useful. C9 is so good at adapting to the meta and they also have clean decisiveness.

sad to look at current mid lane meta

lulu soraka karma... the fuk is this chit, hopefully the meta shifts this summer the assassins in mid lane were much more fun to play/watch

Top lane meta is worse they need to change that first. Brb tank tank tank tank jax or lose

What exactly changed to promote heal/shield heavy mid laners? The change to heal? I also agree, Lulu and Soraka mid is so fukin boring to watch. And TSM got fukin anally raped. Didn't even watch the last game b/c I knew what was going down.

Finals went exactly as expected. CLG would have put up a better fight but they choked in the semis.

Well all the nerfs to assassins meant that new mid lane champs were gonna pop up, tbh not too sure why it was these support type champions. Started with Lulu in Korea a few months ago and then Hai played Soraka and now Bjergsen pulled out the Karma. But yea the buffs to heal and exhaust makes the lanes even more passive.
