Kayle.
Is her name supposed to be pronounced "Kay-LEE", or "Kay-L"?

I think its pronounced like kale, like the gross veggie.
I brought home some chipotle cheese kale chips....
Most disgusting thing I've ever eaten.
Maybe, but I haven't had em.
Aw. Finally had a bad Pantheon jungle game. It's going to happen. I think Hydra is a must for him. Clear speeds are too slow otherwise. Hard to come back if you are behind.
Pantheon excels at ganking bot lane with ult. If bot has any sort of hard CC it's 2 kills for sure. My first game tonight bot was losing hard, gave up 6 kills before level 6. But our support was a Taric so once I hit 6 I just ganked bot every single time ult was up. It was two kills every time. Fed the heck out of the Vayne and carried the game to a win. I wouldn't normally gank that much on a losing lane but it was so easy. Got us dragons off of it as well. I really like his ult lol.

I just hope faker does interesting things. Ideally he picks Zed.
And none of that KT Bullets style 40 minute stare-off rubbish when the only teamfight is on the last push.

Didn't demotions used to have a grace period of 2-3 games? This is scary, season 4 doesn't seem to have that, unless it was because of earlier losses at 0 LP.
I placed into Silver I, 0 LP.
After a few games, I won one, 18 LP.
Lose one, 0 LP.
Lose one, demoted to Silver 2.

I think you misunderstood what how lol's grace period works. like, you can't fall off on your say first four games after landing on a new division/tier. but after those 4 "free" games you can fall down any time you go below 0 lp.
I really want to stay up and watch this OGN match, because then I can stay up and watch the tennis match right after it. But I don't see myself being able to stay awake.
Anyways, onto an actual League topic. Up to Bronze 1 after being in Silver 3 last season, but going 4-6 in placements. Still ticked that I am here, but my own fault for many reasons (maining support, not being able to carry, not being able to harass nor dodge harass in lane, etc.)
All well, grind to get back up there and hopefully get to gold at least. My game knowledge is fine, and I can make calls, but mechanics... yeah.

Well that would make sense as an option, and it's what I was referencing in my post when I said "earlier losses at 0 LP." I think I had 3 before that point so that was presumably the extent of the grace period.
Is this reasonable conjecture or has Riot actually said this?
A lot of things people say about MMR seem like conjecture to me, but the sort that can never be proven/disproven, which makes discussion about it kind of weird. If someone here has lost say, 5-6 games at 0 LP in division 1 of some division in season 4, that would be a good data point.
Also if anyone has ANY tips for reducing ping in league I would love to hear them. I don't think I've ever seen under 76 ping in league, and tonight has been "98" constantly all night...yet feels weirdly much higher, like 200-300. I'm connected through a single wired switch, and I have the peer to peer transfer turned off from the main league screen.
I'll have things like autoattacking the wrong minions, or ignite/riven W not going off at all, it's super frustrating. I -want- to play Riven again but I feel like I literally will not be able to if it stays unresponsive.
yeah, and as I understand it, it's not really losses
so say you're silver 1 0 lp
you lose first game so you're 0 lp
win second so you're 18 lp
then lose two more and are back at 0 lp
grace period ends (I think riot said somewhere it was 3-4 games)
if you lose again you're fucked, but if you win a game and then lose two more you're also going down to silver 2.
it kinda sucks but I guess it's fair
first time I hear about the mmr thing affecting your grace period tho. I don't think that's correct
the one time I got demoted I ended up with like 77 lp and it took me one game to get back into promotions.
so yea it was never 0 lp, that'd suck
I am not a zed master but he is one of my most played mids. Botrk is valued higher than boots on him. Armor pen reds are better than pure ad. Once you have Botrk and brutalized you should be able to blow up squishes. The trick to ulting is getting the shadow to hit the e and q. In his current state if you don't land that dmg and use Botrk active you won't 100-0 people. You can mess up the combo with ignite and still get a kill though.
Practice on bots or work on poking the enemy down a bit.
Are they using the latest patch?
It's 3.15 I think - the patch before the latest?
Yasuo's available.
Faker solo kill on dade - whoops!

omg, faker using a skin.
I didn't even notice! Maybe Riot gave him a little talking to.
Holy crap Ozone is getting stomped.

SKT seems a tiny bit bloodthirsty tonight.

Wow, ff20 in the OGN grand final. What a stomp.
Well, Ozone looks really bad because T1 is punishing every little mistake. It probably wouldn't look half as bad if they were playing any other team, where the same misplay might not be capitalized on as perfectly.
But I guess the saying that the T1/Bullets semis were the true finals does hold some merit now.

That's got to be pretty demoralizing. Time to see what Ozone's really made of, though honestly I expect them to just crumble after that; I still don't have huge faith in them as being an actual Championship-caliber team, as opposed to a line-up that just sneaks through to Finals via beneficial patch rotations ala Azubu Frost.

Tentative MF changes.

Move some power from ult to other abilities. Double Up power moved to second hit. Impure Shots deals 30% AD extra magic damage on fullstacks.
Looooove it.

Oh hey, speaking of Azubu Frost flashbacks, it's an AD melee carry that shouldn't currently be enabled on tournament realm! (Yeah, I know, they haven't pushed the Korean language patch yet. They'd better not win off it, though.)
Edit: Oh well, it shouldn't matter. They've got an Ezreal.

Mandu is really saving Piglet's skin this game.
Yasuo hitting a lot of charged Q's this game. I think it was the right choice.
That's what I don't like about Yasuo - the presence YOUR minions make him stronger, which is really counterintuitive.
Wow, Faker did so much defile damage in that fight by the dragon pit.
Damn, that turret shot juggling by SKT soooooo perfect.

Alistar makes Zac cry. 
Well, things were to hell really quickly. Mandu's Alistar has been on point keeping Looper's Zac out. And dade isn't really doing that much in teamfights with Yasuo...was much better during laning.
Piglet already has his guardian angel.
Mandu better get MVP again- he saved Piglet so many times, and his pulverizes during the teamfights...
LOL, coach kkoma still talking so intensely to the team.

That game. Nobody killed faker until way too late. Mandu made great plays.
Impact just rekt.
I think half the problem with KT Bullets and Ozone is that neither has had an amazing top laner. Usually you'd try shut down Faker and then dive Piglet in the teamfights, but if your top laner is getting destroyed too you're just screwed.

They didn't really have a good option to focus Faker. Zac and Yasuo have to jump right on top of him to do any meaningful burst, and Ezreal bursts like... well, whatever those noodlely little squiggles are he shoots at people. Their only realistic option for bursting him - because throwing their entire team directly on top of him was not a viable option once he got his RoA stacking - was a long-range Cocoon catch followed up by Leona
They focused their composition far too much on trying to be a "Yasuo Support Team" and ended up with a team full of human projectiles versus a Karthus. (Aside from the Ezreal, who obviously did not fit in this composition and is probably only being played because most ADC players tend to fall back on him when they're heavily on tilt.)

Yeah, that's why I didn't like the early Yasuo pick. Reveals your goal too early and lets the other team set up a comprehensive counter.
You pretty much need to be able to win every lane to get ahead against SKT. There's been many examples even this season where each of Impact, Piglet, and Faker carried. Bengi's very unselfish style rarely allows him to really deal a lot of damage late game, but he's key to their success too, not to mention Mandu.
I wonder if Faker will play Yasuo next game. It'll really cement the "whatever you do, we'll do better" theme that T1 has been running this season.
