Since when the fuck does Riven lack CC? since shyvana became an impractical jungler lol. What exactly does Shyvana accomplish in a game dominated by 4th position low-farm junglers? you dont play shyvana do you?

Yango is talking about high level competitive league not low level solo que
How is it too early? Did you watch worlds? That is the dominant and most successful farm distribution

Since when the fuck does Riven lack CC? I don't know why when I said people don't play melees without CC, people start listing melees that actually have fairly good CC as counterpoints. Her interrupty, half second CC isn't really the same as something like Nunu's near permaslow, Skarner's AoE permaslow, Lee's slow and knockback, Rumble's slow, or even (I'd argue) Darius's pull/slow combo. Sure, stun>slow, but a half second stun doesn't really stand up to permaslows, especially those that can be applied from range or affect multiple targets.

So has everyone forgotten about OPNaut yet, or am I the only one climbing closer to diamond with him? I'm kinda excited I might actually hit diamond. :O

Her knock back/ pop up attached to triple dash is also cc

It's really hard to stop olaf from farming, but don't think olaf can stop him easily either (have to dive that olaf constantly because axes farm so well and I don't LOL) Nidalee - dunno, malphite is pretty good vs harass but dunno about the trades here AP tops don't beat malphite at all, you just don't build armour. Have beaten kayle and rumbles if you get 1 good gank (lvl 6 malphite ult vs perma pushers gg) Never played vs ap regnar always banned Yoricks - was fine just farmed vs him and he didn't have nearly enough mana to come close to getting me low Shen/jayce - fuckers are always banned so dunno how they do aginst malph. Malph is good vs darius too I've been playing top lane malph recently (used to beast with him in 5's pre nerf) haven't lost any lanes at all yet actually as far as i can remember. So stronk! Nobody played vlad vs me but it's the same as kayle and rumble where if you get ahead your Q E combos wreck them and the speed boost is too much to kite. (kayle uses Q to harass you then you wait for it to go on CD) I can't see wukong beating malphite because of armour stack but I can't say with certainty. What do you think about Jax vs. Malph? We had that Jax vs. Malph game and it was pretty close, there were def. some timings where I was stronger despite having weird runes. Jax can also support ganks way better before 6 which is something we should take into account.
It's fine for malph. And jax doesn't scale THAT well especially against a malph in teamfights unless malphs bot lane is a FEEDING PIECE OF SHIT screw you and your better bot lanes when cause of me and brokens duo queue

Wukong chunks Malphite really hard for most of laning. You need more than just a Chain vest to go up against him. This is from watching pro streams with Wukong, but maybe they just did some heavy outplaying (post chain vest outplaying. Pre chain vest Wukong just crushes Malphite).+ Show Spoiler +

However small, its still cc. That said, riven isn't exactly top tier in competitive play anyways so its a bad example.

That's pretty much the only way the phrase "I wish X was viable" can be applied. Everything is viable in solo queue regardless.

tabi dolans shield and all armours runes should be enough to be OK against wukong I think but then wukongs ult does LOTS of damage probably need to counter ult away

Watching the playoffs it seemed like Shyvana was completely outclassed. She'd be on like wriggles/phage right around when the game was being decided- almost no CC, so when she gets CCed by the enemy jungler, bad stuff goes down when the better farmed mid on the other team smack her in the face.

U do realize that yango is one of the best posters and most knowledgeable on the proscene in this forum right? I mean its fine to disagree but u seem to have some vendetta and like all ur posts are very confrontational
Personally I disagree with yango in that melee need cc to be viable. I think its more an issue of having strong enough midgame damage and/or utility.

I like shyvana top way more than jungle now. Gets the farm she needs to dominate mid game
Tbh its best to ignore most of what vapor says. I dunno if he is an intentional troll or just arrogant but I dont think I've ever seen a good well thought out post from him.
