6 item mage did his full combo on people with like 60 MR and murders them, more new at 11

I think it's a new champ because I don't Riot would do two skin teases back to back, plus we're a couple patches away from whatever will be for worlds so if they start dripping down glimpses of the new champ now it should coincide with 5.19 or so which is when we should start expecting the next champ

Definitely Froggen.
The color scheme doesn't seem appropriate for a Void champion (it seems to be in gold-ish hues more in line with the Arclight skins). The pattern would be appropriate for another "Project" skin, though. I'd be surprised if it's a new champion teaser that snuck in completely without spoilers, I can't remember the last time they actually kept a champion under wraps until the official reveal.

Tahm came out of nowhere. Bard, RekSai, Azir, they all showed up on Riot's terms too

I was thinking more of Arcade skin than Project because of that Game Over thing Riot has going on.

Because the next thing ranked play needs is a try Project: Zed skin.

'Tis the season for Arcade skins.

We already have two Arcade skins coming up with a login screen even, why would they tease another one on top?
I hope it's not a Zed skin. Fuck Zed

A Viktor in a NA game, how long will it be for his first kill? 30 minutes?

There aren't a lot of great lane picks versus either champion that aren't dead fish in terms of general team composition. They're kind of the Ahri and Orianna of this season (until Worlds, when Ahri and Orianna will, as always, go back to being the Ahri and Orianna).

What TL need to do is replace Quas with Impact, Iwillnotdominate with Rush, Xpecial with Lustboy, and then they can do well at Worlds.
MURICA?
MURICA?
yea just shooting theories
i think they said new champion was after worlds and was not gonna be an assassin or support
so i duno
there were some small sort of inaccurate leaks about tahm, but azir was 100% out of nowhere and bard too
i think reksai was partially leaked too
gross lol
yea that might be true
it's the problem with nerfed assassins and tank meta, dps+burst+utility+scaling generalists thrive way too much
i think azir needs a bit more nerfs (and i wish they gave him his knockup back in exchange) and we have to see what next patch does for viktor, but it's prolly not gonna be enough
but mostly i want assassins back. more ahri and more lebonk plss
i really want rito to do some slight nerfs on maokai
he's way too safe and boring to watch
Stone Ocean

Yeah, Azir and Viktor are gods of all trades, if you're not trying to make a comp you can just slap them in and have almost everything anyways
Prototype Viktor
Member
I doubt Viktor will be allowed to be played for the early stages of worlds because how much LPL and LCK and the wildcard regions play him
Totally agree. I'm not sure he really warrants a nerf but I would not be against him getting one just to get him out of the competitive scene. Such a boring champion.
Stone Ocean
Member
I don't think Maokai warrants a nerf at this point since teams are moving back to more carry top laners and the armor nerfs next patch should emphasize that further

Dyrus getting some alone time with waves during all this chaos. I've got a feeling he's going to sweep in to carry again.

As long as he doesn't get a big minion hug again
yea maybe you're right

Dyrus can only carry against shit teams on the downspiral like GV 8)

You can make some pretty crazy teleport plays when you've got 90 CS up on the enemy top laner and the only AD the enemy team has is a Sivir.

Fenix's build is soo ugly and painful to look at it and the order he bought em

I swear TSM can't beat a good team in a game shorter than 50 minutes. The single reason I hate them as an organization, they are so boring.

Wtf is quas doing? Lol so retarded.
hes been garbo so far

awful games from quas lmao
Prototype Viktor

Fenix's build lost them the game, he was so weak in his burst he couldn't even 100 to 0 Bjerg at any point which is unacceptable as that's why people play Viktor into Azir

Nid needs some more dumpstering along with Azir and
Yasuo.
Stone Ocean
Member
Other teams are allowing the game to drag on while TSM picks hyperscaling teamfight comps so ¯\_(ツ
_/¯their balancing of nid has been an embarassment to say the least. she gets a jump with a short cd, one of the best heals in the game that also gives atk spd (cuz reasons). one of the best long range moves in the game that gives vision (rsns), a trap that gives vision. a cougar form that uses no mana, yep thats even stevens with other champs lol
Stone Ocean

Hmm Azir is open and our mid laner is known to be a god with him
JK GOTTA FIRST PICK MAOKAI LOL

It's as NA has not progressed at all, honestly. These Maokai plays have been tremendously awful.

I hope it's a sweep. I need to watch my LCK and LPL playoff matches.

Team Liquid should feel embarassed at losing game 2. All they needed to do was avoid getting split up and rush down Turtle as soon as he and Bjergsen weren't grouped up (and if they were grouped up, avoid Gnar's ult and kill both of them). TSM had shown no way to keep Turtle alive for longer than 3 seconds if he got rushed on by Maokai and Elise. But no, Quas walks in to the enemy team and dies for no reason, multiple times, and Fenix gets caught out and refuses to immediately Flash or drop his ultimate. Bjergsen, to be fair, is playing extremely well.

if Le Blanc comes back in style Bjerg will grace you with a 28 minute game
