If your [Stream] thread was moved to the general TL Stream subforum (aka SC stream land), find your thread and PM it to me and I'll move it back to LoL territory. I can argue with staff that moving a non-SC thread into a SC subforum is just asking for that thread to get buried.

I have admin approval. I'll be moving LoL streams back to the subforum. Stream name will be based on Summoner name.

If I get that correctly, this was just the winner's bracket final.
There still seems to be some v8 vs w/e game in the loser's bracket running (stream 1).

I would assume that the real final is bo5 (or rather double bo3?).
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

It's over but this was just the winner's bracket. CLG still has to play the winner of the loser's bracket (which will take the rest of the day prob).

I remain surprised they haven't even tried to remake the site yet considering how many complaints they get about it.

reginald and rain man have no idea how jungling works LOL

trm "dude oddone should've came top, he shouldn't have gone mid. he wasn't even that behind!"

reg "dude no, oddone was too behind because he was ganking too much, he just needed to farm. He should've ganked mid more!."

da hell???

reginald saying oddone didn't farm jungle enough, and that he didn't gank mid enough even though all oddone did that entire game was gank mid and top LOL.

watching esl thing

"leblanc usually falls behind in cs, she has a pretty poor attack animation and no ability to aoe farm"

-.-

Well she does fall behind in cs easily, probably because she tends to wander away from her lane to gank, but can't really shove it quickly before doing so (unlike, for example, Sion.) so she loses CS to creeps while she roams?

yeah but its not because of her attack animation ffs

I know, I wasn't agreeing that the caster was right when I said that. Her attack animation and range are perfectly fine, it's the fact that she generally NEEDS to roam, but doesn't push hard to complement that roam.

What's the consensus about using snowball items to force focus fire on champions you want to be focused?

Consider the basic strategy of teamfights: Focus down the AD and AP carries quickly to deny the other team their primary damage sources while keeping yours alive then deal with the tankier members of their team. There are many nuances that help this or hinder your opponents from doing this (like peeling for example) but overall your goal of killing their carry while keeping yours alive in a teamfight remains the same.

However, putting SotO and Mejai's on your bruisers basically says to the enemy team "You gotta kill me before my stacks get up or I'll be able to rape all of you in the next teamfight" and greatly encourages a team to kill the one holding them. However, the enemy team focusing your damage on your tanky members is exactly what you want them to do because it leaves your real carries to do what they do best: melt faces.

The items themselves are not extremely expensive either and can be gotten fairly easily in the midgame after you have some decent defensive items up.

If you get snowball items on bruisers, you will be useless. Most likely you'll die much faster than you normally would (so you can't perform your role and killing you early therefore isn't a "bad" thing). Moreover, leviathan is a so-so item at best, as is SotO. Bruisers by and large don't want Mejais.

Problem with snowball items is either you get them early and they're expensive enough to significantly delay your core items (they're all 1k+). Or you get them mid-game where, depending on your elo, you may not get nearly enough stacks to make them worth it.

I would say that's an ignorant statement. You're assuming a bruiser is magically useless because he's spent ~1400 gold on 10 attack damage or 1200g on 20 ap instead of something that is initially more cost efficient. That's like saying buying warmogs or BT make you useless because they aren't the most cost-efficient items in the game when you first buy them.

I specifically didn't mention Leviathians because it does exactly the opposite of encouraging an enemy to attack you (by making you harder to kill) and Sword of the Divine isn't a snowball item >.<
