It is done.

Spoiler

I am unhappy with two of those four purchases.

Alright, let's go through these logically. You can easily say that if you didn't like Rengar, then you obviously didn't like the skin so those are the two you don't like. On the other hand you can like Rengar but not the skin so that would be one leaving either you don't like Sona or Graves. Or if you like Rengar and the skin it automatically makes it the other two.

 

[MultiCore]

I'm gonna guess that Riot Graves is boring, and Rengar's skin isn't worthwhile.

What do I get if I'm right? :O

 

[Snowman]

So I bought the arcade sona skin, as well as sona, because i'm weak like that. And in like my 5 sona games so far I've just been wrecking face.. So good..

 

[dimb]

I knew Promote was OP. I'm two steps ahead of the game.

 

[SouthernDragon]

Yeah, Arcade Sona looks awesome. I will have to hold off of purchasing skins for a good while, since I splurged to finish my champ collection.

 

[bigmakattack]

This game, death everywhere.

 

[dimb]

Why did I ever doubt CLG?

 

[scy]

Yeah, Rengar isn't a very cool champion.

Rengar's quite fun.

Unfortunately, he's not that good yet :/

 

[dimb]

Rengar's quite fun.

Unfortunately, he's not that good yet :/

Eh, I can think of a really long list of junglers I have more fun with.

 

[bjaelke]

Why did I ever doubt CLG?

Because they are from na

 

[Koomaster]

Arcade Sona's powerchords are very stealthy, don't know if it's my settings or what but I can't hear them at all when they hit a champ.

 

[scy]

Eh, I can think of a really long list of junglers I have more fun with.

Oh, I meant top lane. His Jungle is meh.

 

[dimb]

Because they are from na

No I root for NA teams. I'm hoping Curse wins.

Oh, I meant top lane. His Jungle is meh.

Top lane is even worse. Please bring Rengar top vs. Darius or Jayce if you are on the enemy team.

 

[scy]

Top lane is even worse. Please bring Rengar top vs. Darius or Jayce if you are on the enemy team.

I never said he wasn't bad in top lane (in fact, I said he was overall bad), just that he's kind of fun in lane. Far more than his iffy jungle, anyway, for a fun playstyle. As far as lane is concerned, it is really easy to counter him but he does dismantle basically everything outside his counter picks. Unfortunately, his counter picks are basically "Everyone good at top." Still, leaping from bush and surprise bursting someone is kind of fun. Even if that is his entire gimmick.

That said, I've only lost lane with Rengar something around four or five times total so far. Darius twice, a Teemo, a Fiora, and probably someone I'm forgetting. And all of these were jungle assisted and not straight losses. My bigger issue with him isn't his laning phase but his late game without good initiation from the jungler/mid. Winning top is pretty easy for the most part.

...of course, outplaying at the elo range I'm playing in (unranked, at that) isn't really an accomplishment.

 

[Inskipp]

Holy shit that was an epic finish. So intense.

 

[Rayven]

that base race

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Split pushing is such a dumb strat.

 

[dimb]

Split pushing is such a dumb strat.

Nah, it's cool seeing different stuff in games.

 

[scy]

I'd have to say some questionable decisions at the end but damn if that wasn't an entertaining race at the end.

 

[EXGN]

Holy shit, these games. Hotshot's missed cleaver on Rumble cost them the game. I can't believe I'm even saying that. A CLEAVER COST A TEAM THE GAME.

 

[Mr Cola]

epic game

What makes it so much sweeter is knowing doublelift and chauster would have smack talked legion before the game, such nasty people they are to their competition. I guarantee they did that strat because they thought they could role over their competition.

 

[dimb]

No, it's a Korean thing. There's nothing spiteful about it, you guys gotta chill out.

 

[Mr Cola]

No, it's a Korean thing. There's nothing spiteful about it, you guys gotta chill out.

Im not up on the Korean scene so ill take your word for it. Either way anyone who has glanced for more than a few minutes of Doublelift or Chausters streams will know how little they regard any bottom lane thats not their own. I find it very hard to root for clg with those two in the roster.

 

[Inskipp]

Those plans Riot had for buffing Sivir?

Yeah, all gone now. Thanks Doublelift.

 

[scy]

To be fair, the fact they were up a game is why they tried the Korean style Teleport split push. But it's an interesting strat that has seen a lot of attempts in solo queue so it's not like it was a "lololol TP guys inorite?!" choice anyway. A lot of people have been trying it out.

 

[SouthernDragon]

Those plans Riot had for buffing Sivir?

Yeah, all gone now. Thanks Doublelift.

I had a Sivir chunk me as Ez. Reminded me of my time dominating bot with her. <3

 

[brian!]

amazing match

 

[dimb]

Yeah, all gone now. Thanks Doublelift.

Sivir has been getting play in lots of places.

To be fair, the fact they were up a game is why they tried the Korean style Teleport split push.

They did it the first game too.

 

[scy]

dat Sona ban

Sivir has been getting play in lots of places.

Well shit, ignore me then. I missed the first game and just assumed that they didn't based on the reaction.

 

[brian!]

I'm assuming Legion practiced to get ready to fight that strat

but it's kind of nice thinking that they just thought on their feet and intuitively reacted to it

Marcus @LoLDyrus
I feel so drained from the derpage in these games but I'll probably do the same if I keep watching. chilling in player lounge watching anime

Boom.

 

[Ken]

"Hey let's smurf."
*buys Arcade Sona on smurf.
"Hey get off your smurf."

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Cho is really strong right now.

 

[dimb]

Cho is really strong right now.

If you focus him and not the carries yeah.

 

[kayos90]

Boom.

Gotta wonder, what anime is he watching?

I know he watches/watched Squid Girl.

 

[EXGN]

Best series so far! It was looking dire for CLG at the start, but as has been the case for the past three series, the team with the better coordination and team fight strategy ended up coming back for the win.

Also, dat team fight in CLG's jungle was so epic! Bigfat and Voy barely living and Chauster taking out Demonlul's Corki, all with Lift ravaging the top lane.

Well-played by Legion, they are gonna be a force in S3 with a bit more experience. Glad to see CLG continue on, I wonder what other strategies they have lined up?

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

If you focus him and not the carries yeah.

His hitbox is retarded when he's got 6 stacks. Smite+Feast insane baron control. Since they buffed his rupture time, he zones so well especially with Orianna.

I think Dignitas is the obvious pick to go out. Patoy/QTpie is going to get rolled by CLG's botlane.

 

[wonderdung]

Yeah I'm really hoping that mtw.na/mme ferus and legion pull ahead of the pack a little in the next few months. Lots of potential there.

 

[dimb]

He's pretty slow, easy to disrupt, has poor ganking, and is easily ignored compared to more disruptive junglers like Malphite and Ali. He's nothing impressive, he's just in an alright place.

Depends on play style. You're not gonna see Saint or Diamond pull him out at a LAN, but Snoopeh and Hotshot play a really really good Cho.

 

[dimb]

Hotshot plays Cho because he used to play him top.

 

[Blizzard]

Yorick bottom lane may not be good, but the ghouls are SUPER annoying. I was also taking a ton of physical damage from them as Sivir. I remain convinced that they're really hard to target. I'm not sure if it's the fast move speed, the lack of feedback when you click/hit them, or that they overlap your hitbox, but I found myself trying ot A+move just to kill them.

 

[ShdwDrake]

OMG how come no one told me how fun dominion was??

I feel the same, although for some reason I don't have a hard time hitting them when I play Teemo.

In either case they are annoying, I don't think you even get gold when you kill them. ~___~

You're correct - unlike (I think) Malzahar's minion, you get no gold, and only champions like Cho or Nunu can in theory heal from them. Though even with Nunu I think I was flailing around trying to smartcast consume at one of them.

 

[scy]

They count for TF's passive if that's any consolation.

 

[SouthernDragon]

Shoulda joined the GAFDOM brigade sooner.

Wow wtf that's too well crafted not to be creepy.

 

[dimb]

This week I found out I don't like Ahri or Teemo at all.
