Btw I read that SV is no longer shot caller for Crs, Elementz is... true? I'm not sure how this will work out. I can sort of see why, as I think Saint has a poor mindset for a captain--but I don't think he has a good one for a follower either. Trying to copy TPA's style, of support is shot caller? Saint V should be shot caller for midgame, and maybe hand it off to Elementz in lategame. Jungle based midgame plays are really strong, so it would make sense to have st.v be midgame shot caller, and nyjacky is pretty responsive to plays made outside of midlane. I just feel that in their scrims that saint v has made some pretty bad calls in lategame.
I don't think there's anything about one role being best for making calls. Being a captain on the team requires a certain mindset and attitude (coupled with of course sound decision making) that are suitable for leading the team. None of those require that the player play support (though it's more likely to find players with that selfless attitude on the support role simply by nature of the role--that doesn't exclude players with the correct attitude from playing other roles).
Saint has the experience and knowledge to be a good captain, but he doesn't have the mindset. He's too quick to blame people, and oftentimes his decision-making is somewhat selfish--he doesn't trust his teammates enough (something no doubt borne out of solo queue).
Consider when he was on CLG and he would complain that Jiji was not active enough from mid and would not gank enough. We now know in retrospect that a fairly passive, conservative teamfight-oriented mid player is a totally sustainable playstyle provided the team is able to make the right picks to support such a style. The key is also having an active jungler who is able to create an expanded presence when you have a more passive mid--which, well, doesn't describe Saint given that Saint himself is a fairly farmy jungler. The thing is, it was just as much Saint's problem as Jiji's--it was a TEAM problem. Saint didn't approach the issue rationally and with a team mindset, and was too quick to pass off the issue's as just Jiji's.

Where did you guys read that Elementz will be the shot caller? Because, afaik, he's getting benched.
really? lol

Just bought Lulu since I've decided for S3 I'm exclusively playing support and wanted to have all of them. When do you pick Lulu and when you don't?

Read it somewhere in comments on reddit. Posted here to ask if it's true. I mean I can understand that they don't want SV to call anymore, but I really don't know who else could on that team.

I can see her working in a dive comp. Slow to prevent them from getting to tower, shield for tanking 1-2 hits, ult for actual diving. Oh and movement speed to get in and out.

Any opinions on syndra post-buff? I've only played a few games with her, but she seems pretty nice now, really safe laning and actually good damage with the ridiculously low cooldown on Q (not that the buffs changed that).

Lulu/Ryze is a pretty broken combo. Otherwise she generally just works best when you have squishies in the front-line like Jax/Kat/Diana/Fiora

Jax is definitely not squishy, E and R all day. Diana isn't squishy either, her shield and pull is pretty strong.

Is it just me or is wingsofdeath really annoying? I mean the things he says are really "mundane", for lack of a better word, and he just keeps talking and talking and not knowing he is boring the hell out of Aphromoo.

Maybe he'd be more interesting if he stopped condescending to muffinqt.

You should turn the in-game audio down. The champs are louder than you, but all in all the sound quality is pretty good. But the video quality takes away a bit.

The video quality probably cannot be helped. My upload bandwidth is really, really low. Streaming at 480p is probably the limit unless I change ISP.
I will change my volume; thanks for the suggestion.
Terrible game btw. I just didn't feel like playing after Elise ragequitted. Throw ftw.
