He sleeper op IMO. Its hard to get the most out of him because he is a bit clunky in his kit, and you need proper farm to do what you need to do. But if you are good at him, he wreaks face.

Xerath isn't exactly a sleeper op, it's obvious he's broken but tournament players were just busy playing tourneys on older patches so he didn't become FOTM from being on streams 24/7.

TSM scrimming with some team, using Alistar, Trist, GP, Xerath and Karthus. Running Karthus as Jungle and it seems surprising viable given the last scrim I saw them do jungle Karthus. Karthus works like GP during laning phase and during team fights he just runs in and dies, but does enough damage that they win the teamfight.

TSM's scriming IgI.

OddOne has been doing Jungle Karth with great success in the past day.

So now that there is a thread in the overall General forum, can we agree to only talk about WCG there and leave this thread for actual lol shit?

Eh, I think zerkers might be better on her than sorcs and I don't really like Madreds but if you build sorcs and they are really tanky I guess I can see it. I'm glad you clarified it was Wit's cause LW plus sorcs/Madreds made zero sense to me lol.



Zerkers are ok for early game I guess and the attack speed thing for her is a cool concept but it really only serves to build rage faster and lower the cool down on Q, which are definitely good things, I admit, but you don't actually need that much of it to accomplish this. I was building zerkers in previous games, but after using them I think sorcs is so much better for a damage build. I took sorcs for lulz because the enemy cc was negligible and I was getting fed. To my delight the extra magic pen wrecked faces with W and E in dragon form.

Honestly, though, I think I'll typically take mercs since usually you have to be in the heart of a teamfight to do damage and they WILL unleash all their cc and focus on you.

Though it wasn't used, a last whisper really isnt that out of the question since double penetration (lawl) would work just fine with her. I'm sure there are better items, but an aoe cleave with Q (in dragon form ofc) that penetrates 40% of the enemy team's armor seems pretty dandy. IDK I guess I just mainly build her for when she's in dragon form, since the uptime is so frequent.

It seems like you can build her almost any path you'd like and she'll still be effective in some way. I'm sure it will take some more testing to find an optimal build(s) for her. I'm really interested in ways you guys have built her and your thoughts/theorycrafts.

Surprised they didn't nerf kog-maw or morgana a tiny bit more as well with this patch. Is so annoying to have to bann those two every games when Sion, Lee, Graves are so sick op in solo-q still.

I just meant, for damage output, I would think zerkers would be more damage than sorcs. I could be wrong though.

I'd go mercs probably every game with her. I don't like Last Whisper on her because you shouldn't be hitting tanks you should be using dragon to jump on squishies who shouldn't have much armor or MR.

I liked SV's build of Wriggle's -> mercs -> Wit's -> Phage -> Atmogs.

What the hell? Did people JUST realize sion is OP?


He works in solo q, not so much in arranged. The crux of Sion is breaking his shield before he can use it. If he doesn't deal damage with his shield, he's somewhat subpar. He has crazy farm potential however.

Yeah I was watching his stream earlier when he was jungling with her and she seems pretty viable in either lane or jungle. Some people think that because she lacks a hard cc she can't gank as well some others, but a gank sub 6 is easily accomplished with the movespeed from w, and if you take exhaust it's almost a guaranteed kill or at the very least will make them back or blow flash. After you hit 6 ganks are ezpz.

I fully agree that LW is a very situational item for her as is usually the case with most champs. I haven't gotten to the point were I could finish an atmogs build, but it does seem right up her alley. So many options with her. I like it.

Clearly I need to do some more reading up on this, but did both teams actually agree to the one game advantage or was that just part of the rules that are no longer in use? If it was a mutual agreement to be used instead of playing a possible 6 games to save time then it shouldn't have been broken. In the latter case it shouldn't matter when you switch to two best of three sets. CDE took the first set 2-0 or 2-1 and Dignitas took the second set 2-1, doesn't change the results in the grand scheme of things.

I think I edited this in somewhere previously, but the entire separation is the old rules versus the new rules. While the changing of the rules is very sketchy, they could very well have meant for the new rules to be the actual rules and they were not posted as an oversight. Websites not being updated and rules not being distributed are a tragedy and it was handled very poorly, but the end results are what is going to happen. I still think you shouldn't fault Dignitas at all for WCG/MattMarcou admins being incompetent. I've definitely seen a conspiracy theory involving the Intel sponsorship that Dignitas and WCG both hold and that the rules were bent to appease the sponsor as well that was posted in the old GD topic.

First off, the original rules for WCG qualifiers state that the team going in from winner's bracket has a 1 game advantage in a best of 3 set. Which means Dignitas entered the match 1-0. CDE has to, and did, win 2 takes in a row to qualify.

The fact that it was "miscommunicated" that it was a best of 3 sets with Dignitas having a one set advantage is just utter bullshit. No tournament in the history of any fucking esports makes you play a best of 3 sets. That's a maximum of 9 games, minimum of 4. That's just fuckign retarded.

It's a retarded idea for a finals setup in just about any sport on earth, for that matter. Esports be damned.

Uh, it's actually pretty common in sports and e-sports, to take whatever match type you use in the normal brackets, do that match type as a bo3 with a 1-0 match lead for the winner's bracket player/team. The rest of the brackets were a bo3, so it's imo pretty stupid to have the finals be anything less than a full bo3 (like the 1-0 bo3 that it was.)

1-0 lead on a bo5, sure. 1-0 lead on the sets with a 3x bo3 set, that's pretty typical, though it's obviously impractical with the potential length that lol has.

i know the nba does best of 7 and the nfl does just one game. if the wcg was truly a best of 3 sets with each set being 3 games, that's a maximum of 9 games being played which is unheard of in any sport
