Diana is just strong right now, she will probably be getting some further nerfs. I mean what is the point of taking someone like Kassadin instead of her because she does the same job 100x better...
the point is that kassadin has a whole different set of utility and is more mobile. on paper he also deals more damage than diana overall but dianas burst combo is stronger if she hits her target with q. both champions fall of hard lategame against strong bruisers. I don't know much about dianas laneing but from what I saw I think its quite good against alot of mids. Kassadin has a set of champs he easily destroys while others are nearly undoable so he is a riskier pick mb.

Watching WR play through all the ninja champions. Makes me wish Assassins like Akali were a bit more viable than a niche pick

kassadin never falls off unless you build him incorrectly

I was hovering around gold before the reset, and now im at 1141 elo :/
I don't like this reset, every game I get a player who either massively feeds or trolls the shit out of the team.
Realize that between Elo compression from the reset and the huge swings that accompany placement matches things will be pretty random for a while. Focusing on your Elo at the moment is pretty pointless.

it's never entirely not pointless, elo, due to it's inherent randomness of teammates, never directly equates to skill
if you become a better player, your elo will increase (if you suddenly stop playing) eventually, so as long as you focus on fixing/improving your game play short term wins and/or losses shouldnt matter if you feel that you're playing well

Looks a lot easier to find items that you want though. I like the change.

When you reach certain thresholds in Elo and the season there are reasonable judgements one can make about one's Elo and how it reflects on your ability as a player. While it's true that most players overemphasize Elo, ignoring it entirely can also be a fault.
Right now just happens to be the best time to ignore it, because three straight wins for one player and three straight losses for another can bring together people who were 600 Elo apart at the end of Season 2.

That doesn't even take into account the compression as everyone was pushed towards 1200. Possibly even further elo gaps heh. I am 5-3 so far in placements O_o just hoping to not put myself in a hole early on.

Digs matches are tomorrow, starting same time as this possibly an hour earlier. Play against Quantic, CLG.Prime and then AL.NA in that order. No brackets just group play.

On Voy's stream Scarra said they playing tomorrow in qualifier. So based on that I assume only tomorrow not sure.

I don't see why they need 10 English casters when honestly bringing a Chinese or Korean commentary team is more likely to make me watch the stream unmuted.

So it's a group of 4, top team qualifies?
