I just thought of something.
Caitlyn (ADC) (substitute: Explorer Ezreal, Corki) Lulu (Support) (substitute: Longhorn Alistar) Teemo (Top) (substitute: Aviator Irelia, Gangplank) Twisted Fate (Mid) (substitute: Veigar, Tundra Fizz, Fisherman Fizz) Gangplank (Jungle) (substitute: Longhorn Alistar)
5 hats team always win never lose gg.

So SV says that Curse can go pretty even with TSM right now in their scrims while TSM is in Curse house, even after a month off from playing. What has TSM been up to? Have they been preparing at all?

Something interesting to note: Pretending to be posh and acting as if you have an exaggerated English accent means that people will start pouring on the honor. Referring to your opponent as a gentleman/scholar/noble lady etc. usually gets you something. It turns out being well mannered and well spoken is quite a rewarding endeavour.

TSM has been bad before every single major tournament only to do well when it comes down to it. I wouldnt write them off untill ive seen them play at the finals themselves.

Syndra hard to call right now imo, and Hecarim is pretty strong. Varus, on the other hand...

hsgg still thinking sej is viable. not that what hsgg has any real relevance. varus is in a weak spot, but that's cuz he's not part of the adc trinity. syndra hard to call. hecarim is doing alright imo. he's a strong jungler.

I'm aware they've dominated the NA tourney scene, but those are peanuts compared to worlds. I'm hoping they do well but it seems odd that the biggest money tourney of your life/team/esports is one that you are not practicing for.

That's not what I was implying actually.

Newer champions have very clear, synergistic kits that make them godly at what they do, while many older champions were just kind of thrown together under the idea of "this is his signature move or theme, these other abilities would be cool too". Someone like Yi or Sion feels underpowered in my opinion because, while their kits are cool and make sense in theory, the abilities don't really synergize with themselves on a deeper level. Champs nowadays have abilities that all scale properly, work together well, and bring kits that have a lot of variety and flexiblity.
I'd say most newer champions have synergistic kits. There's at least one recent, notable exception.
Varus has almost no synergy between his abilities outside of the W proc interaction. That proc itself would have just as much, or more, synergy were you to replace his other abilities at random. All of his abilities do something that hasn't been done before, but taken together they aren't greater than the sum of their parts. That's not so say he's bad, just that he lacks the synergy you see from kits like Draven's or Diana's.

The reason Hecarim doesn't see much play isn't because he's behind the curve, but because it's pretty easy to fail three of his four skills. Misuse of W, E, and R is the difference between godly ganks/tanking and "wtf pony sux".
That said you could argue that at the very least he wasn't stupidly OP at release. Sejuani's a tad behind the curve, but both she and Hecarim could easily cross over into ridiculous OP territory if they were thoughtlessly buffed. All it would take to make Hecarim OP would be to change his ultimate's velocity to factor in his movespeed (ala Malphite).

He lacks the lore of Draven. His judgement is basically just bad "dark" fanfic writen by the PA guy.

That's the other side of the coin. Putting them both together you can summarize it by saying neither Varus' mechanics nor his character have any personality.

hecarim is inherently weak in the jungle because of his dumb clunky spells and mediocre AoE/sustain despite having two dedicated AoE spells, because of this i don't enjoy playing him even if he is a strong jungle in the end.
curse is pretty bad compared to most other pro teams imo, but it also has a lot to do with them practicing with a bunch of different setups i'm sure. i don't think they'll go too far with westrice tbh, which i'm sad to say since he's one of the players i followed since the start but he's usually the deciding factor when we beat curse in scrims.

Malphite's ult's speed depends on his own MS? ôo The things you learn...
And to be fair, I think Draven is one of the best champions' design from the "giving a personality and tying the champ's kit into it".

I'm going to assume that's not what Monte meant, because it's wrong. Rather I think he was talking about a scenario in which Hec's ult could scale relative to his MS, which at high MS levels would make it much like Malph's.

I never read dravens lore I thought the mustache was all the personality you'd need

LOL so many ass-kissers around here since this honor system was introduced. "gl hf" ,"gg wp" and "nice move" everywhere. I bet those people would have yelled each other to death before. I wonder how long peace will last.

As far as I can tell, honor has done jack nothing for my games. Everyone still huge assholes.
Need a dishonor system.

I don't know about you but I just came off a week long ban and got 5 honor points in last 3 games lol
