Well, I don't like the look of Fiora, but they can't make a champion as awesome as irelia in that regard so meh. The skillset looks really fun though.

holy balls was anyone watching Froggen's TF on stream just now? His team was totally fucked and he managed to pull a win out with patient backdooring and split pushing, great strats and good work from his team not getting engaged on 4v5 while he was out when they had Maokai Kennen Anivia. Really sick TF play

Yeah that was REALLLY good play, his patience was impressive, could sit in a brush for 50+ seconds just to be certain that the enemies move away from bottom. Real good patient play

I don't buy the melee carry crap. There's no such thing in proper play. Just another tanky dps with good scaling and mobility. She's not naturally tanky though so you have to rely on your dashes a lot. I imagine wriggles+wits end+hog+aegis+phage into randuins types build on a jungle would work. Not sure if she'll be able to jungle fast enough with that skillset, though.

The only proper melee carry we had in lol that worked in comp play was nocturne. Then they crushed him.

Yup, ranged carrys rule supreme in lol through the lack of bkb and blink dagger. It allows ranged carrys to just build incredibly glass cannon while melee carrys don't have a reliable way to stick on someone leading to increasingly absurd melee kits (riven anyone?)

brb gonna play some blink dagger tiny

i would say riven and trynd are proper melee carries too. They buy much much less purely defensive items than typical bruisers who run around with at most 1 straight up damage item and/or maybe 2-3 hybrid tank-damage items while you see alot of warmogs, aegis (k it gives 8 ad..) randuins, GA, FH on them. also ad based burst assassins like talon, garen and shaco are optimally built with much more offense than bruisers.

I think we can safely say that melee carries are viable if their kit allows them to either burst or to avoid damage if they deal sustained dps.

edit: on the bkb thing: not every melee carry in dota builds bkb every time and disables are much less of a threat in in lol because of tenacity, qss and the generall short length of them.

Riven and Nocturne are bruisers.

The only actual real melee carrys are Tryndamere and Master Yi. Tryndamere actually works, and Yi is held back due to his AP gimmick and reliance on kills.

Tried a trololo comp today :
Shen top, TF mid, Noct jungle, Panth-Karthus bott (kill lane with a bit of farm splitting).

TF ult for vision, Noct ult, Shen ult him, TF goes in after they reached destination, Panth ult the landing point, Karthus press R, always engage never not engage :p

Release noc was a melee carry cuz his ult was long enough range for you to be able to get fed on people and go pure damage. Now he is tanky dps cuz you cant get enough money for damage items.

I always thought Riven was a beast early to mid game and fall off late game ? Am I wrong ?

How do you build her to make her good late ?

Who do you guys feel is the champion who falls of most early to lategame?

I really don't feel like Leblanc falls of nearly as hard as people say, her burst and mobility is obscene all the time, and with an ult on 20s cd she has consistent damage output.

Panth also falls off a bit, but if you don't just stack BT's and get some bruiser gear you can still do good+ult is great for split pushing.

I think AP Sion is the worst falloff. You are just a king early and mid running around blasting people, then when teamfighting starts you cant get to their squishies and your shield gets popped along with 75% of your damage, leaving you useless and squishy until your stuff comes off CD. It is horrible.

AP Sion falls off if you build him bad. But AP Sion with DFG, Rabadon, and Lich bane is a giant pain in the a**. He deals absurd amounts of damage, is very hard to kill, and after that he can go Phantom dancer and transition to hybrid.

He doesn't have a godlike late game but it's nothing compared to a Garen, Eve, Kat, ...


His lategame pretty much is as close to trash as you can get. Only has 2 spells, no gap closer, doesn't build tanky so he's a great target.

Unless things changed when they buffed her Q and nerfed her W, Riven has always been a ridiculous late-game champ due to her insane scaling and her shield that scales off AD.

A bunch of ~2000 elo players, likely mostly Germans. They also have a couple of lower ranked players on the roster.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

SK FF'ed because Candy was afk (surprise surprise), they have 3 more qualifiers to qualify so it's not really too much of a problem.

Not sure what CLGeu are doing in this tourney lol, they're meant to be playing in IPL lol.
Go go Alliance.
