Nice Galio ult getting 3 TSM, massive zerging follows but TSM picks 2 kills under turret, a little standoff and Kog gets triple kill, Galio vs sona mao left after all the aoes fade.

Galio is like relax guys I got dis and takes out turret while oomed maokai and sona try to autoattack him down, not gonna happen.

Skarner is in the "he does too much too well" class atm.

Too much damage for not having to buy items for having a great cc ult, permaslow, and speed boost.

Just tone down his damage numbers a bit and he will be fine.

That was bad spot to get engaged by TSM, rainman was at blue, regi in the mid brush got caught and nearly insta died after ulting 4 people. M5 takes the game with strong team fighting.

Chaox should have gotten a QSS for that last fight.

I guess I kind of overestimated chaox, he really wasn't able to accomplish anything >_> And TSM got clearly outplayed in my opinion, M5 played super nicely, Galio wins MVP imo.

Galio defo MVP, did several spot on ults. M5 had better idea on their team fighting and it won them the game fight after fight. Laning phase was pretty even.

I feel maybe regi was going too far in that bruisering though, he had mogs, qss and frozen heart, only damage from wota and sorc boots. Getting caught alone in that last fight was the final hit though.

I'm almost certain that he's going to be nerfed next patch, and I'm going to be extremely happy about that as the champion is just way too easy to do well with.

There's no need for a nerf. Aside from his ult and slow, he doesn't have anything too overbearingly strong. And even the slow isn't that bad. His damage isn't absurdly high, his tankiness isn't above any other bruiser, and he doesn't poke hard. He's very, very balanced with one very high strength, that is clearing speed and ult ganks.

It's not so much the strenght it's that he can be played by a brainless moron and still carry his team, there's rebalancing that's required, nerfing not so much.



how does gp or any other champ with no real skill shot differ much though? ult in the general direction of their team, hit every button.

Was just one game. Nothing to overestimate Chaox on. He's still one solid AD.

That said, M5 played like champs with a nonorthodox (for NA) team comp. Nice to see them playing well as a team. EU hwaiting?

Kog nunu is strong lane, hard to trade with, maybe soon see it more often in US as well?

TSM just didn't have their team fight priorities straight that match while M5 got off perfect Galio ults. Catching single TSM members out was a big factor too, oddone and regi getting caught in fights near baron.

skarnar is hands down the strongest character in the game right now IMO.

and seriously man, his slow is that bad, it's a perma slow off of no CDR and no AS. Once you get Glacial Shroud, it's a perma slow through merc treads. For 15 mana per cast. It's also AoE. It's also 45% slow (bigger slow than say, ashe's frost shot). he also basically gets his 260 damage shield every 6 seconds once he gets his CDR, which also keeps his MS/AS steroid permanently up.

I just tried kiting with jungle twitch like someone suggested. I don't think it works tbh. You always get hit.

I think twitch can be jungled. You either have to open shittons of armor runes on him,
or you have to counterjungle from level 1
or you have to lane until you get a madreds
eh.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I do hope they scrim more than 1 or 2 matches today though, these teams really need to prac as 5 a lot instead of the solo q bullshit.

TSM about to play vs SK now

Questions about M5 have been answered already.

Yes, these are just scrims on the tournament realm.

Eh, I guess as a Skarner player I don't want him to be that OP :3

Here's my thoughts:

In a vacuum, his slow is OP. In reality, you need to stay in melee range and auto constantly to keep it up. That's hard when there's other players, blinks, terrain, CC, and slows.

His shield is amazing for speed and AS, but unless you're building AP, it gets knocked out in a few hits easily. The most AP I even get is from TF and Rageblade, but I don't even get GRB that often.

If you get a perfect charge in-power up Q before-Q to slow combo, it's hard to shake him, but not impossible. And since his gap closer isn't instant outside of Flash, keeping him from getting on top of you isn't terribly hard.
It's your boy Guzma!
