On the first episode of TL Round Table. Also, that show needs guest star Caller from time to time. | ||

But yes, TL Brave Table should be new name imoimo. | ||

That game was silly. 4 melee, give up FB due to absent-minded Kassadin and obvious bait by Annie... then steamroll the everloving fuck out of the other team. Dragonlady Jungle looks pretty strong. Not sick tier, but strong and durable. | ||

As for a TL podcast I'd listen to it given I go to TL for LoL advice, but I'm not sure how it would appeal to the rest of the LoL community. Some of the pro LoL players are also big SC2/TL users or at least fans, but the rest of the LoL community just uses the LoL forums and wouldn't see a reason to listen to what an SC site has to say. Granted podcasts aren't really made to make money, but viewer numbers are still important. | ||

Same goes for DotA, people KNOW their stuff. I often feel like LoL pros disregard stuff too early. Xerath was frickin superstrong from the very beginning, yet a lot of people thought he sucked. First time HSGG played Talon, he was ranting about how he was one of the worst champs EVER. It's stuff like that that really makes me think. Agreed. I realized Xerath's strength within the first couple of games I used him in. It also got me thinking that I want to start trying out Karma mid. I used to enjoy her on release, and I do think she's really underrepresented (as gman said). | ||

Whose stream is it going to be on (and get the ad money)? It might not be much but maybe the 'pillars' will have to agree on it before things get out of hand. Maybe they could make it a fundraising thing for TL inhouse tournaments or sponsor TL B team to enter tournaments like MLG. | ||

I think most higher-level players know more about that than they let on (pretty much every team has "trump-card" stuff they save for tournaments so lots of people aren't going to straight up say they know X champion is strong), and it should be pretty apparent that below that, most people have no idea how to play the draft correctly (largely because solo queue is an extremely poor way to practice it). | ||

I think that comes from the fact that there are so many champions and they keep releasing new ones. People haven't even mastered all of the old champions, there's just no chance to spend a lot of time learning new champions when they haven't even mastered the old ones. | ||

Well, a lot of times, too, good team comps and strategies can compensate for champions that are weak on paper. I think it's funny that Elementz released his solo-queue tier list for the Graves patch and Heimerdinger was in his newly created Tier 5 (uber-shit tier). Think back to Dan Dinh being a real terror on his Heimerdinger at IPL. Lots of stuff is viable, it just isn't universally viable against all comps. I think your point though is that some things aren't just situational, they're actually really strong, but people don't recognize it. I think that's natural. People are lemmings and are afraid of losing ELO. They'll play what the pros they watch on stream and the people they read on forums tell them is the most effective way to win games. I don't blame them. Why wouldn't they do that? Once a pro takes a champion and dominates a tourney game or ladder session with them, I think that translates instantly to more popularity on the ladder. | ||
