So right now there are 5 teams who are first in their region and only 4 teams can get BYEs past the first
They're doing a drawing to see which 4 teams get BYEs currently on OGN.
5 balls go into the lottery spinner thing.
4 teams that get BYEs
1 - TSM 2 - M5 3 - World Elite 4 - TPA
Azubu Frost DOES NOT get a BYE. Oh god that sucks.
Group stages are going to be that much more scary with Frost rampaging through the group stages.

Why did gragas go top in the first place? I guess he would've gotten rapped quicker against a brand with that ping.

Is that mech skin something from Neon Genesis Evangelion or is it just me?

It seems like they just locked in whatever they wanted and didn't really care about filling their role, like not buying wards as a support. I guess support buying wards is technically just part of the meta, but I'd rather just support and play the role properly if someone wants to do something else.

Didnt read it all but looked like troll picks to get someone else to dodge so when they all stay in the game he doesnt want to play.
You can play the most wierd ass supports and not get banned for it so long as you always play serious. Thats the difference.

I'm not sure why Riot made such a big deal out of Kha's passive in the reveal when it really doesn't do anything aside from slow (played him on PBE). It's 30 + 5 per level magic damage on your next auto attack so it's not like you're going to run into a bush to refresh it unless you're basically already there, during chasing its power in the jungle and mostly incidental.
Secondly, I think his ultimate evolve is a piece of crap right now. Who needs 1 extra passive proc every minute? Compared to evolving QWE (which give damage, waveclear, poke, a ranged slow, and teamfight mobility) it's pretty lackluster.

You vastly, vastly overestimate the self-awareness of many people. I've known a lot of people who ragequit, afk, troll, and other stupid crap but are shocked, SHOCKED when they get reported and tribunal banned. You'd think it would be obvious, but their cognitive biases are just that pervasive.
In other news, Rengar's winrate has spiked to 60% following his hotfix. Assuming this isn't a temporary spike, and acknowledging the speed with which Riot is moving to buff Syndra, I hereby resolve to eat my metaphorical hat on the issue of Riot's propensity to alter champions too quickly (and, it seems, too extensively).

Kha's passive only does damage to champions (with the exception of evolved W), so it has no effect on jungling.

The funny thing is how all those Rengar feel changes they made added up. Q working on next auto, W not slowing you down, and especially passive landing you on top of people rather than behind them all improve his chasing a hundredfold. Then they buffed Q damage just for kicks.
edit: Oh wait I forgot they buffed ultimate too.
Holy crap are they THAT crazy?!

Holy crap are they THAT crazy?! The ult buff is huge for his post-6 ganks if they weren't strong enough. Even if you see him coming with a ward in the jungle or a pink or something, he just runs so fast now.
Its also huge for teamfights around dragon or baron since you can camp a side brush and if their carry overextends slightly you're on top of him almost instantly and chunking 1/2 her HP.

From the write up on surrender at 20, evolving R also gives 40% damage reduction while in stealth. I guess I'd need to play him a bit to understand that more, but I suppose it does give him a proper escape (other than jumping away from a fight.)
How does his stealth feel? On paper, it sounds lackluster to me, but probably will be the type of thing that sets up highlight compilations. I think I'll finally have to try and remember my PBE log-in and look at him more.

All rengar needed was the QOL changes so he didn't play so clunky, he did NOT need straight up buffs. :/ Even the no-cast-time W is a little questionable to me.

You're right that there's damage reduction but that's often not even relevant until they have oracles. Moreover there's a 3 second CD on each use ahri-style so if you use it offensively your opponent can put all their burst in the first window where you're visible and vulnerable. You could possibly time it for projectiles that hurt and then turn on them but it just seems so situational in my head compared to having a better Q W or E which can be up multiple times in a fight and have decent utility too.
In terms of how the stealth feels, think of it like a faster wukong without the ability to crap on people's brains by pressing S. Some good jukes are possible, like running to your turret from a gank but stealthing into lane bush and then stealthing out when they come in (since you can time you second R) but IMO wukong is still the #1 mindkiller. It is fairly lackluster aside from making you more or less invincible for 1 second.
