I don't know, but maybe they wanted more "free scrims" by coming from a loser's bracket?

EDIT: Chat says TSM got DDoS'd so they had to forfeit against Curse.

Maybe they realized how bad it looks to forfeit from your own tournament. Kinda makes it lose legitimacy.

doesnt make sense playing vs curse and the grandfinals is the same as forfeiting than playing orb and then grand finals^^ only way to get more " freescrims" is losing to curse than playing orb and grand finals again, but yeah forfeiting own tournament is kinda dumb.

How is Orianna's laning phase bad? She can last hit easily and farm under tower without missing any cs if pushed to tower, can push lanes easily when you want to, and she doesn't even really have many bad matchups. Utility is her great strength, yeah, but she still dishes out a shit ton of damage if you're landing your Qs properly. It actually boggles my mind that someone thinks Orianna's laning phase is bad. Zyra is easier to play but she gets banned sometimes while Orianna never gets banned.


Her laning phase is actually good. Can push with the best pushers once she gets mana regen/blue buff, trades well especially with her aa buff, and is decent at getting away from ganks.

She is still not that good late game though.

On the topic of consulting TL, I am looking for a new jungler. I play mundo udyr alistar lee sin and lately amumu malphite. Who should I add? I have naut even though I don't play him that much. So basically who should I add? Maokai, Sej, Shy, Riven, Diana, Hec, Jarvan. Skarner or Volibear? It seems like a long list but I kinda want to be slightly hipsterish and add a slightly un orthodox jungler. Suggestions? Comments on their various strengths? thanks guys

Do nunu, noct, and olaf since you seem to be missing ganking bruisers. Try to avoid lvl 6 ganking junglers. I used to do well with jarvan but his late game sucks even more than maokais and lee sins. You could also try jax (I haven't though).

Jarv and Skarner are by far the most fun of those listed and are decently competitive

I must be missing something here because orianna to me is one of the strongest ap carries in all capacities.

Pros: Her early game is good, her midgame is good, her late game is good. Her laning is good, her teamfighting is good. Her utility is good, her damage is good. She has good poke, she has good burst. Her builds are flexible. She can gank, but can also push. Pretty much her only limit is player skill.

Cons: Her limit is player skill. You could watch jiji or scarra or salce play her and make a drinking game out of counting the whiffed spells in teamfights, balls in wrong places or on the wrong people, etc.

I've been thinking that an antidote to the snowbally nature of LoL would be to have gold bonuses scale with time. I think the biggest downside is that it will discourage early pressure, but it would lead to top lane being a bit more balanced and would hopefully resolve the issue of the 90% winning percentage by achieving a 10% gold lead at 12:00 by making it more difficult to achieve a 10% gold lead at 12:00. Maybe farm stays constant and kill bonuses/dragons/barons increase in difficulty with time, I'm not sure.

I know these theorycraft discussions often get charged, but I'm interested to see what people think of this.

This statistic is SO misleading. It was made from a MLG tournament in which many teams participated, but the top teams were CLEARLY CLEARLY better than the bottom teams. So any game where a top team played a bottom team, OF COURSE they'd have a gold lead by 12 minutes, and OF COURSE they won the game. Correlation is not causation. The gold lead at 12 minutes is not why they won the game, the fact that they were a clearly better team is why they won the game. It is also why they had a gold lead at 12 minutes in.

Edit: corrected the tournament the stats were built from.

I saw some posts a few days ago about a very entertaining caster that apparently also streams, his name was something along the lines of "samster" or "baxter". Does anybody recall who you were talking about? Now that I've got some time on my hands I'll try to have a look.

It wasn't Dreamhack, it was MLG. It included the games where Team MRN played TSM... lol.

While you are correct it was based off of MLG data(one event as memory serves) it doesn't dispute that the better teams did better because they simply won and played better then the teams they beat.

Out of that list, the probably best/competetive junglers are Skarner/Shyv and Maokai. But if you want a less played, i'd recommend Hec or Sej.

I dunno. Orianna is good in solo queue if your opponents group up. QWR wins team fights harder than any other AP carries combo imo. Although, maybe Zyra's combo wins teamfights harder now.
