I think so cause, i've been in a game for 45 minutes. People disconnecting and reconnecting in and out. I've only been able to do my trueshot barrage with a 30 second delay to push waves :D. Now minions killed their nexus but no victory screen. Only "Attempting to reconnect"
Forever connecting to chat service, lagged so much when i got into a ranked my first ban was taken from me, Lagging the entire selection process (e.g their ban would show but it would hang for 30 seconds before switching to me being able to ban.)

Depends on the game. Usually one of IE, LW, BT, GA, QSS. If you are safe enough and want huge damage, it's IE or LW depending on the Armor of the enemy that is the most trouble for you. If you need to be slightly safer, but aren't in danger of getting bursted down, BT. QSS if all you have to fear is one big CC. GA if you need to survive burst that will come your way.
LW after TF on Corki can't be that great, his steroid is truedamage. I'd really only buy LW if there was an important midgame sport my team was forcing. IE will provide so much more damage.
Also. Just played top Nunu for the first time in a long time. My team was like "Nunu top" ...? Then toplane Jax had 20 CS and 0/6 at 20 mins...

However, I feel as though this "I'll stick to 3-4 champions" mentality is part of what holds back team composition theory and helps propagate metas.
Personally I think what's holding back TSM as a team is their repeated attitude of copying what other people do and not finding their own style.
There's no one "meta" that's superior to the others. There are only team compositions and strategies that suit the attitudes and playstyles of a given team. What works for CLG.EU works for CLG.EU. What works for M5 works for M5. What works for Blaze works for Blaze. They all have vastly different ways of playing the game, and it's quite clear that none of them have the "right" way of playing the game.
TSM needs to get out of this mentality of emulating the last team that beat them, and find something that meshes with their own personal playstyles and attitudes. The fact that they only thing they really brought to the table this match was just copying Blaze's fast-push that beat them (and then crumbling past the point where they had no idea how to follow up) proves that they still have this flawed mindset.
Thing is, they didn't even try to imitate the last team that beat them. They just played their normal junk and got rolled over.

Before they fixed it so that Corki's passive doesn't scale with crits, there actually wasn't really any reason to get a LW at all on Corki because IE, Trinity, and even zeal->PD provided more damage than LW.

The current midgameish oriented build for corki is TF->lw->ga, mostly becasue IF you go ie after trin, your in the position of having to choose between not being able to effectively kill bruisers with armor, and having ga, or not having ga and having the damage.
With the amount of stupidly strong burst assassins in soloq atm you really really need that fast ga. (eve, jayce, kha)

Well I mean, you are basically making my point though. You are talking about an important "midgame" item powerlevel. You will probably be marginally stronger with GA+LW+TF vs. GA+BF+TF +640 gold.
I'm happy he is at least staying with the team, he will just be more on the management side of things. He isn't going to disappear from the scene completely.
Well. I can't say I saw Regi's retirement coming. I don't like watching him play. So irritating.
Perhaps from what he said he feels like he's gotten old and can't keep up with the new blood. In which case he's making a choice to try to do what he thinks will be best for his life.
has anyone else changed their keyboard bindings so they can control the camera mostly with keyboard buttons?
I use WASD to control camera movement and I think it helps a lot with aiming skillshots since I can maintain camera control with the keyboard instead of adjusting with mouse when needed.
I also changed my skill bindings to smart cast with a single button instead of the default 2 button press.

I don't think it's worth doing that, assuming you're resting your fingers on wasd since I don't agree with moving fingers to use skills. I did switch qwer to smartcast though

I swear those spears curve, just a little bit, towards his targets. No other explanation for why they're so accurate. They're just like hotshot's spears when he played AP nid, they curve and have a tiny bit larger of a hitbox than anyone else's spears.
