Had 2 good games as Tryndamere.
In one I was up against a Top Mundo, whom I managed to kill twice while in lane. I played as careful as possible to avoid taking much damage from his attacks, eventually Mundo left Top lane and I pushed it up til the 2nd turret then helped out the other lanes along with team fights.
The 2nd match I was against Gnar, who I mainly attacked while in mini form. At one point he transformed near the bush in the lake, I followed him a bit into it but then retreated, by then their jungler and midlaner attacked me and got a kil heh.
I believe in this particilar match our Yi was AFK, but luckly our Bot lane got some good kills and our Akali managed to catch up. Eventually we won having taken down all their inhibitors.
Awesome artwork, mind linking to the tumblr you got this from please?

Relevant.

whoops, I was talking more about split push then nasus tbh.
Oh, sorry. In this case I feel like they're actually pretty connected. The consequence of matching Nasus against Maokai is that Nasus takes a lot of objectives because Maokai can't duel him at all. You'll note that TSM repeatedly sent Maokai to cover Nasus while they 4v4ed, which is theoretically one of the appropriate responses to a split push. But Maokai was completely incapable of impeding Nasus in any way, because he's one of the weakest duelists. Unfortunately TSM didn't have anybody else to cover Nasus either and so he just won.
So there will probably still be plenty of split pushing in pro games, but generally most teams have somebody that can cover their tower a little bit better than Maokai and so, rather than winning, it just forces specific favorable matchups, which is what split pushing is designed to do.
That's nice then. I didnt enjoy the constant stalemate the games had, so seeing splitpush become more popular would be cool. Although my cousin disagrees and found it dirty haha.
the splitpush nasus thing is nothing new. replace nasus with jax (who is arguably a better split pusher due to his slippery Q and AOE stun). both late game monsters but only if you make the mistake of letting them get to late game. or for midgame splitting, tryndamere
i feel like tsm didnt respect the pick and try to work around it. nasus isn't going to be able to split push effectively for a long time; if you're not taking advantage of the fact that you essentially have a 5v4 for a while then you're doing something wrong.
alternatively, camp the everliving hell out of his lane and never let him do anything. this might be harder in a lane swap scenario

The Renek jungle actually worked well.

Vlad, Rumble
Swain, Cass and Ryze if you want to bm. You don't usually see spell vamp being built on most APs because spell vamp overall sucks.

Get Gold V or higher in any mode (3v3, 5v5 team, solo Q) at the end of the season.
Nev and him were throwing personal insults back and forth.

Welp fuuuu.. I am still bronze 5
Early next year.
Earliest? October. Most likely: November.
I don't think they'll do it before the season is over.
I'm in silver V too. We can keep each other motivated!
Season ends in November, I can see them making the switch a day after that. I said October because after finals the map being played is irrelevant, but I don't see it going that way.

Nothing fits the theme of a Victorious skin as much as a fallen angel "having plumbed forgotten ways to gather forbidden might to become a powerful mistress of the black arts," who also "is driven by her obsession to defeat her sister Kayle" and "willingly fights in the League of Legends for the privilege of being able to destroy her sister again, and again, and again."
Such a display of heroism. Could not have ask for a better candidate.

Damn, so true. I would also approve a victorious Nami skin.
