Hai is pretty bad. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hai being benched. Standard caster jargon. I know I personally have no idea what to say after a one-sided stomp..... Well it was more of both teams failing pretty hard.

Tried out new TT.
It is significantly worse (by an order of magnitude) over the old TT.
King of the Hill is even worse than I'd imagined. The new items are not balanced for the champs that are already too strong on the map -- it would've made more sense trying to only add items for weak champs, not just exploding the strength of existing powerhouses. Permanent vision on the KotH shit just compounds how bad it is.
The placement of jungle camps and their lack of strength further detracts from the dynamics of the game. There is no longer any meaningful thought involved in either jungling or being in position to help a lane since your now about 5 seconds from any lane at all points in time. If you get behind you're completely fucked as a laner since you can't rely on jungle ganks due to how trivial it is to countergank and get help from the other lane (making it a 3v3 where you're already weaker).
Removing wards and a GA is just the biggest joke of them all. The dynamics of fighting or defending around GAs is extremely meaningful.
It's really a shame. TT needed a couple tweaks and instead they turned it into the mini-game better known as Dominion.

Does anyone know the logic behind Lich rush over Dcap on Twisted Fate? Is it for the movespeed to be more mobile? Is it for tower sieging? jiji did it that last game. I've seen Misaya and others do it as well. I know that getting Sheen for more burst in lane is common but was unsure which scenarios you'd want to get Lich before Dcap.

It's really strong for both map presence and pushing towers. What happened multiple times was Loco shielding jiji and Jiji just chunks the tower for a lot of damage with Blue Card + LB proc.

Lol I wasn't even watching the game I just got on before I head to a party so I assumed it was one-sided. And Scip I think the general idea (although I'm pretty sure you were being facetious) is to be positive and avoid pointing out ridiculous glaring errors in play.
Not sure why, but that seems to be the way to do it.

Yeah I know that for hitting a tower once a wave you could chunk it down quicker with Lichbane rush. The movespeed boost also helps since TF is pretty slow. If you're moving around the map a lot as a team Lichbane makes sense to me.
But for long sieges or solo pushing Dcap's probably better.

Yeah but the proc isn't much more than just Sheen. I think it's more for the movespeed which helps with kiting etc, although of course having some extra damage on the proc is good too.

Chauster going HoG on Lee oO. Don't think i've ever seen Diamond do that. It use to be common before the hog nerf. It was built either after 2 dblade, or the wriggles. When do you build 2 dblades over a wriggles? when i'm too fucking lazy to buy boots 3pot, and i feel going ballz to the walls.

Looking forward to seeing Irelia vs Jax. Whenever I play or watch the matchup Jax always seems to win unless it's Wickd.

"Skin-timidation. But it has absolutely no affect on the match what-so-ever."
LIES. SKINS = POWAH.

It's mostly a war of attrition between either Jax getting his E out when Irelia has W activated or Irelia activating W after Jax E ends.

When do you build 2 dblades over a wriggles? when i'm too fucking lazy to buy boots 3pot, and i feel going ballz to the walls. 2DBlade is superior in early fights/scuffles, while Wriggle's kicks in a bit later. A lot of Wriggle's cost-effectiveness comes from indirect means (faster farming/Dragoning through the proc, Wards, etc.), and only really kicks in when the item is completed--the parts themselves are not terribly cost-effective. In terms of direct fighting ability, DBlades and the corresponding follow-up are much stronger. 2x DBlade gives much better direct fighting ability than a Madred's Razor. Similarly, 2x DBlade + Tabi gives much better direct fighting power than Boots+Razor+Vamp.
As such, this item selection should correspond more or less to what your gameplan is given the champs in the game.

Hai doing pretty terrible. Buy dblade on jangle Noc, die when invade

To be fair to Hai that flash by Hotshot was quite ballsy. Also lol@doublelift , talk about seeing red.

The strength of Lee Sin is the early game, I like compounding his strength with dblades.
