Can't do normals, either. They turned off loss forgiven just in time for nothing to be fixed and the entire platform to fail even more than it already was.

Riot trolling real hard.

Note the enemy's champion choices. I fucking hate this game sometimes.

Gimme 1700 ranked solo queue any day.

Looks just like my average normal game when I queue with 4 1400s.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I've thought about joining a competitive team to get back into things, but I just don't know if I want to invest the time in this game. I have some strategies in mind and it would be fun to try them out in a tournament setting. Oh well, it's fun being relatively obscure to the majority of the LoL community.

Although they are better than the TL team who didnt give a shit enough to never bother actually show up for games.


But they got second place, didn't they? And I missed the last two games, but I saw them beat TSM pretty convincingly in the first game they played against them, so... it definitely doesn't seem to me like they think they can't win against a decent team, because they've shown they can.

People are talking about CLG like they're a bottom-of-the-barrel team; right now they're still arguably the best team in NA. It's like they completely forgot that CLG crushed TSM to qualify in winners bracket finals just a couple hours ago.

TSM and CLG are pretty polarizing -- both teams are pretty good, but both have massive tools (notably Reginald for TSM and a varying amount of SV and HSGG for CLG).

Every other NA team is pretty much lumped in the category of 'meh.'

CLG's problem is still Elementz, not hotshot, nor saintvicious. Elementz rage is the reason why they all take the blame for losses and never bring up what went wrong. The problem is, Elementz isn't able to take any sort of criticism. Which is one of the reasons why CLG loses even if they're fielding Jiji and Chauster as solos in a good day.

By the way, this comes from CLG, I'm just putting some pieces together for easier reading while not giving away the full story behind it.


I think that CLG needs a dedicated support. Like, now.

Also, anyone else think that if US ever goes to EU meta of running double AP carry that TSM is gonna have to drop Rain Man? I can't think of a single AP carry he plays.

Xpecial real special

Here's the problem. Hotshot can only play 2, maybe 3 champs that are tourney worthy. Same with Elementz.

If you need one of them to go to the solo lane all the time, CLG's picks are really limited. (Assuming Chauster and jiji swap off for an AP/AD carry.)

But yes, I do think CLG needs a dedicated support player. Epik picked up puregoldenboy because Doublelift acted like a douche, so that's one choice gone. I've seen Hotshot's Janna and it's not pretty. I've also never seen Elementz be able to play any support besides Sona.

Also, anyone else think that if US ever goes to EU meta of running double AP carry that TSM is gonna have to drop Rain Man? I can't think of a single AP carry he plays.


He just plays tanky DPS. I think in general, their team comps are decent.

I agree. If they want to become a more serious team, they need to have a serious player dedicated to playing support with great map awareness (and probably duo queue w/ Chauster and practice playing support). In all 3 games against TSM today, I felt like Xpecial/Chaox outfarmed and outplayed Chauster/Elementz.

I was looking at the EU support players and they take supporting extremely seriously (US server down so I just made an EU acc). They all have like 4-5 runepages for their support champs, which is like "wut?".

Yeh, I realize that Rainman plays tanky DPS. I'm just saying that if EU meta ever comes to US there won't be much of a place for him on TSM. They already have their jungler, if they wanted to do the EU style of double AP carry then Rainman would have to get the boot. As you said though, the team comps for SoloMid work for them right now and there's no indication of the US meta changing anytime soon.

Still, I think it'd be in the best interest of Rainman and HotshotGG to work on getting good at other champs. Both of them would be super easy to ban out. If CLG just let Regi get whatever champ he wants and ban out Rainman TSM would basically be playing a 4v5. That's kind of what happened to CLG when Solomid banned Cho/Nid.


I agree. If they want to become a more serious team, they need to have a serious player dedicated to playing support with great map awareness (and probably duo queue w/ Chauster and practice playing support).

Yeah, I don't think too many US players at all take support seriously. I mean, most of the support players on the US teams tend to be people who played other stuff and never play support unless they're playing with their team. Xpecial/Chaox definitely outplayed Chauster/Elementz and I don't think it's because Xpecial is a great support player (because he isn't) and I don't think that Chaox is better than Chauster (or at least, even if he is, not by much). If Elementz wants to stay on CLG I think they need to tell him to go play support for awhile. If he doesn't want to they need to drop him.

I'm getting so tired of Riot's server problems -__-. They say it'll be up by 2:00 so I figure I can sneak in a game before I sleep and what happens next is the servers are still down after almost an hour. FUCK i'm pissed at riot for wasting my time over and over time and time again.
