I hope Riot makes changes in the next season so the game has a different tempo, not feeling the play super safe for 20 min and then things explode. I miss watching the Korean aggression and picking fights every 5 min. So many tower dives and not giving a fuck.
Also Tahm is a great addition to league, love the little guy and his design.

 

[Afro Samurai]

Would LoL benefit from Dota2 Pick and Bans?

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

If nothing else, this tournament has shown me that I don't think Tahm Kench is OP because I'm a scrub who needs to git gud, but because he's broken as shit. What is his winrate at now?

 

[Neol]

DO IT FAKER

TAHM KENCH MID DO ITTT

edit: Guess Marin was right. Faker never gnna play the kench in competitive :/

It would be fun to have a Heroes of the Storm type mode for LoL. It excels in getting right into the action.

It's called ARAM.

This season EU and China has been playing aggressive even in the early game. Korea and NA has been playing more passive.

I don't necessarily think we need more bans. Having a few outlier op champs isn't a big deal. It causes adjustments in the pick and ban phase though. That's where I think a lot of teams have fallen short. They don't know how to work around having too many strong champs out there and build a solid team around it.

50% winrate for Jungle Kench and 46% for Top Kench.

 

[Neol]

Man poor albis. Trying to make plays but literally gets wrecked by one ability.

 

[HappyPuppy]

Ugh I really dislike the Juggernaut patch. Mord and Gang taking a spot in bans (GP is so annoying), then everyone trying to pick Darius. At least we have Tahm, hope he gets a skin.

 

[killatopak]

How many champs were we at with the 2->3 ban patch?

I don't see why there couldn't be 4 bans with how they've balanced things.

16 champ requirement for rank is already a tall task considering you need to buy runes too. Increasing them to 5 would mean 4 more additional champs.

 

[Setsuna]

I cant wait for the day that Teemo is picked at worlds

 

[Ambition]

Man, fuck Tahm Kench. It's stupid how you can't even punish players mistakes because of interactions like Tahm's Devour. And then there's TP...
Edit: That Flash prediction :L

 

[galvenize]

SIT DOWN FAKER

 

[faridmon]

Tahm counters Thresh sooo much it ain't funny. Got hooked? no probs, I am just gonna swallow you

 

[faridmon]

Yeah, I love the Chinese LPL because of that. OMG v IG earlier this year had 25 kills in the first 15 mins

 

[Setsuna]

fuck tahm kench

 

[Ambition]

Tahm Kench is bullshit

 

[faridmon]

Can't wait to all those Tahm copy cats when I start play this game :/

 

[Hydrophobic]

Greyhealth feels like a reasonable mechanic.
Edit: I have no idea what Tahm Kench's numbers look like, but it feels like his W should have increased mana cost so you can't just constantly eat someone. Forcing tahm kench to eat his teammate should be a punishment unless they're using it aggressively.

 

[HappyPuppy]

Tahm Kench is bullshit

I love that the lil catfish. Also fuck thresh, he is such a solid and well rounded champ. I like seeing him be less optimal.

 

[faridmon]

Marin is being too cocky

 

[Neol]

To be fair Tahm Kench does do poorly in lane against a poke oriented bot lane. Sadly there's not that many poke oriented adc's that are viable in competitive play.

Bring back Sona

 

[Envelope]

faker getting rekt this match

 

[galvenize]

Bring back Sona

Why isn't she considered anymore?

 

[Leezard]

Faker getting solokilled. Is this the one game AHQ will win?

 

[Ambition]

Why isn't she considered anymore?

She's really squishy and is easily dove in this double TP meta.

 

[Hydrophobic]

Faker getting solokilled. Is this the one game AHQ will win?

It might be. But we have to remember than in a good and just world Kassadin (or at least without jungle pressure in an even-skill game) should be losing to Fizz at this point.

 

[Neol]

Why isn't she considered anymore?

Too squishy, no CC till 6 and gets wrecked by other supports like Thresh and Morgana.

 

[faridmon]

Why isn't she considered anymore?

She requires a heavy rework which is impossible at this point. Any buff and it would break the whole meta, and as it stand she is useless mid and late game

 

[Edwardo]

Nice riposte

 

[Setsuna]

Fiora is bullshit as well

 

[Diprosalic]

will SKT even drop a game all worlds? doubt it.

 

[HappyPuppy]

Fiora is bullshit as well

I agree, but it was really nice seeing her body Darius like nothing and having full health at the end.

 

[Leezard]

Certainly, it's not like it's a pure skill matchup.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Man, Westdoor's fizz is too insane.

 

[Ambition]

Man why didn't they play like this game 1 or 2 ;_;

 

[faridmon]

Some sweet pressure from ahq

 

[HappyPuppy]

Ah hahaha that fail rocket jump over mid lane.
AHQ played really great games and it was close but then something happen after 20 mins and things go out of control for SKT. I kinda don't want to see SKT lose but it is exciting to see this game.

 

[AcridMeat]

Would LoL benefit from Dota2 Pick and Bans?

Yes absolutely. At the very least 4 bans each side.

 

[faridmon]

The commentator is saying that Fizz becomes weaker late game

 

[Leezard]

Well, it's true.

 

[killatopak]

fizz got banned.

 

[Quonny]

Zzz.

 

[idlewild_]

damn, the baron throws

 

[Envelope]

welp there's the throw from AHQ

 

[Shining Sunshine]

GG! I think I have the Poro icon now.
