I don't always watch LCS, but when I do someone picks Trundle.
Who's been maining Trundle since Season 2? That's right, this guy.

Counter jungling just isn't as effective as it was in S3. Sure you can farm a little more for yourself but it doesn't deny the opposing jungle as much and you leave yourself exposed. Despite getting stomped early, Cyanide was relevant the entire game and Diamond didn't have much lane pressure at all.
I'm sure Gambit knows this, the game just didn't go their way.
Yeah? Toplane?
Well, can't top that.
With the rise of the tank meta, I'm surprised that trundle wasn't being played before.
You need the right comp for him.
I guess that makes sense. He gets peeled easier than a banana.
Also if renek/shyvana/vi weren't raidbosses I'm sure koggles would see a lot of play as well.

Kog is shit right now as ADC. He's better as an AP carry, and that's unfortunate.

Mostly jungle. Likely 8:2 jungle:top ratio if I (or the client itself) actually kept track of such statistics. Need more practice with him top outside of surefire counter-picking.
Also the funny thing is Mundo is like, the one melee Trundle doesn't really want to face top during the laning phase (soaZ probably aiming for the Shyvanna match-up) and Gambit still gave him a kill for it to not matter anymore.
He does get kited relatively easily, but his criteria for an ideal team composition aren't that steep honestly. More dependant on what the enemy picks; pretty much a no-brainer against Shyvanna, Renekton or Vi for instance depending on the role and especially if the enemy opted for supports like Taric, Leona or to a lesser extent Thresh on top of that. Beyond that he synergizes really well with a good number of currently popular champions and he's a massive douchebag with the likes of Karma.
His 'best' time has come and gone though, back in Season 3. He would've shined if people knew about his strength during the Vi - Xin - Jarvan - Volibear - Susan jungle days, never mind when Nida/Lux/Jayce poke comps were all the rage.
Is that a yes or no?

they are very good and were most certainly the heavy favorites.
They're heavy favorites because they're long time players, but they're kind of just wash ups. Alliance is like those movies with Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis where the joke is that these old guys past their prime are teaming up.
Man, that poll was pretty lopsided at ~80%. And it did show during the laning phase but it seemed like CW always won out in team fights or managed to misdirect. eg. Kayle fakes a mid push and the team takes the dragon when alliance went mid.

I feel like they're a bit overrated to be honest. Their bot lane isn't anything special compared to Gambit/Fnatic, and I don't think Wicked is the best top laner in Europe.
Also was that Nyph's first time thresh?

Man, I wish I wasn't at work.
I play Panth a lot and I definitely think he's best mid, though he's too weak at the moment. He presents great map control opportunities but falls off hard, even when fed.

THAT PLAY.

Huh, so Riot supported the Kickstarter? I did not expect that to happen.

So they went with the Ravage change.

Ranked reset in the next few days. I should have played more ranked. 
Have to see if my MMR is good enough to get placed back into gold right off. I'd imagine so but no telling. I could have a bad series. Time to get back in shape with the jungle. Been playing Jinx way too much. She's so much fun to play even though I mostly suck as an adc.
edit: Shyvana nerfs look pretty good. She's way strong right now. Would be nice to get her off the ban list. No Yasuo nerfs yay.

Or the defensive mastery tree.
Looking at you, perseverance.

I like that Q change on Yauso. It was sometimes really, really annoying to keep up with how many Q stacks you had. especially in the middle of a fight. It was really kind of awkward. All of the Q's being autocast really does smooth out how he's played.
I've never seen anyone do the ward trick and I play a lot of thresh. at best ori ball or zed shadow
ult being harder to land is a big nerf actually. I wonder how much slower it'l feel

lol. Nyph is so shit.
No Talisman, wtf?

Not necessarily warding it, but just walking on top of it and standing on it is common to stop the lantern, since it was the only way to stop his get out of jail free card. To not be able to do that makes it really difficult to deny a lantern unless you got a knockback or can cc them all the way to death.
didn't see much people do that, tho in competitive that might be a decent boon to him
gotta test his ult change, this looks like a net nerf with a situational buff at best
Those Shyvana nerfs aren't too rough. Was expecting something more harsh, and where are the Ziggs/Mundo/defensive mysteries/Nasus nerfs? That Nasus nerf is a love tap compared to what people wanted.
Also they need to quickly put out something for Kass because I'm sick of auto banning her.

Can Riot please undo the nerf to Zed's w. Please. Thanks.
Yesterday I got carried by a Zed who built a relatively early BT after a botrk. Today against some bots I tried out going Brutalizer->BT early instead of botrk. To be honest, I think I like it more. I think with Zed's new ult not having the same chase potential as before it's stronger to build more flat ad so your abilities do more damage. Usually I find when I rush botrk that despite being fed I'll be basically useless without my ultimate.
Now to try it against actual human players.

Yeah, I just saw the game against CW, and I'm going to say a decent part of the reason they lost is because I don't think I saw him land a solid hook the entire game. Granted, CW did a good job keeping tanks front to block him from yanking a squishy, but if you're on the superstar team, you better be able to thread the needle or catch someone out. Otherwise, Thresh is pretty much a waste of a pick compared to someone like Leona. Vision was pretty poor across the board too.
I will say that Froggen had a few disappointing ults that contributed to the loss, though.

What about Lux ultimate not going on cooldown if she dies before casting it?
(It's not enough)
uh, anivia is alright. these buffs should make her more fun to play too.

Kennen support!
It's not something that happens every single lantern, but I think it's sad that what little counter play that existed got removed.
