Rainman is so awful (for being on one of the top teams). He's the definition of a solo queue stomper. His decision making in team matches is just...off. I have a feeling TSM won't be much of a threat again until he gets on the same page with them

Also - is it just me or are elementz and xpecial kind of lacking compared to other teams' supports?

Xpecial's Alistar is probably the best Alistar around imo. But with any other support he's never looked as good.

I think TSM's problem is that they don't have someone who's good at calling plays. Or that gets listened to when calling plays. They tend to operate by consensus which makes every decision around 10 seconds late. That's my impression from watching them stream their scrimming, at least - they get in a good position by beating people in lane (which they almost always do, at least for bot and mid) and then waffle around long enough that it doesn't matter. When they lose, anyways.

I'd definitely take Xpecial over any other NA support... L0cust maybe more consistent but I feel like Xpecial actually manages to make more 'plays' from the support spot(and as such he does make some/more mistakes, but I guess I'm just willing to take that for the upside, risk vs reward).

Now if you want to bring EU supports into the discussion, then every NA support fucking sucks.

Xpecial just has a rather "weak" personality, so he doesn't sound very confident (especially when his team loses fights), so that may be part of it.

I really wish he'd learn to time stuff though. Oddone spoils him =/

EDIT: holy shit their tristana/alistar is good. I know it's a good combo but I haven't seen a bot lane dominate this hard in forever.

Uh...are you thinking about CLG? Regi usually makes the calls for TSM.

Meh they have regi calling plays... they just have too big egos to always follow those calls, especially Rainman seems to have problems with that.

Riku made it to honourable mention!


You can also vote for her so she wins more Riot Points.

That Caitlyn cosplay winning is pathetic, only reason anyone voted for it is because she showed the most cleavage -__-
Most of those cosplays were really well done though.

Watching Chaox's restream of their scrims, feels like Regi/Oddone have been dropping the ball. Chaox is definitely their #1 player right now, their bottom lane is ridiculously strong.

Yeah, I think they have problems with leading a team together. Epik scrims tend to sound and feel a ton more coordinated and calm while TSM is either really happy they are winning or all pissed off about a call.

It's not the same as the wc3 RNG where you can save a crit. I don't know that anyone knows the algorithm outside of riot but I remember xypherous posting that they'd set it up differently from wc3 specifically to avoid scenarios where you could manipulate your crit/etc chance.


They used a different algorithm. It's not exactly the same as the WC3 one, but it's the same concept.

Anyway, who wants to see Zileas talk about designing games? Here, have a video.

Can anyone (Moonbear?) comment on how this works in LoL? tbh the Wc3 algorithm sounds as if it's being used to use less CPU usage instead of a true RNG.
