i am happy Have your Zac initiate, pick up the blob from his E, throw it in the melee to heal him while damaging/slowing enemies? That's teamwork right here. I think he means one of the four blobs that zac releases upon death. yeah.
speaking of which, since i don't have a friend who has zac, i'm wondering if you can take a zac blob with syndra and drag it across the map. or if zac's reincarnate is time-based and not location-based.

The spotlight says it's blob based. If any of Zac's blobs come back together he reforms. So if you wanted to troll a Zac you might be able to keep him from respawning for longer. Time based. Nvm. He respawns anyways after 8 seconds so I guess you could keep Zac alive if you were an allied syndra.

First game with Revive/Teleport Akali: All right. Didn't really get to use Revive/Teleport in the ideal situation at all, but got around 4 revenge kills with homeguard revive/teleport and even one doublekill. Probably missed out on quite a few kills without ignite, though... However, this feels very very powerful for the lategame with a cleanup champion or something like that. Maybe I should try this for someone without such a good gapcloser, the speedboost might be more useful for them... (The main idea is for baron fights and other important fights to have a short cd / resettable gap closer with which you can cleanup after losing the battle by utilizing your bonus health and movespeed).

I think there is a propensity to over rate teams not in the LCS in comparison to the bottom level LCS teams. People see whatever team (Crs Academy, Velocity, etc.) not in the LCS doing very well in random tourneys, winning scrims from time to time vs LCS teams, and consistently beating the low level semi-pro teams not in the LCS and think they are amazing/full of potential.
Then they see the bottom level LCS teams losing their LCS matches consistently and think they suck.
Somewhere it gets lost in translation that the teams GGU/coL are losing to are not the same teams that Velocity is making their name beating.
While I do think Velocity/Quantic can compete with GGU/coL to replace them in LCS, I think it is silly to question players moving from teams that are clearly very unstable/making no steady income/with no massive exposure - to LCS teams (no matter their record). The worst case scenario for their seasons just has them getting paid and then playing in a qualifier they would have had to play in otherwise. Add to that the fact that by leaving they strengthen the team they join and weaken the one they left and their chances of qualifying for the next season get even better.
Without the backing/structure of a major organization, I think almost anybody on a semi-pro team would take a chance to join any LCS team. GGU and coL are not bad teams.

GGU is kinda decent, but leaving for coL?

well, i guess you could do what i did and just hold on to one blob and kill it last so you can kill steal.

I actually got in trouble for that when I first started posting blogs because I only posted a "teaser" of the full post on TL to get traffic on my site. Because I are blog noob. =P

Time based, saw it on a youtube video syndra can pull that blob but it means nothing if it doesnt die.

If only they moved faster to make up for the distance during the timed reincarnation. I'd love to pull it away then see it zooming across the map.
Ideally by bouncing and hopping OR turning into a blob airplane.

So Zac is a really, really strong champ. That free GA is pretty nifty, plus the ridic mobility- I may just have to buy him.

Sounds amazing for Kassadin. Use teleport early on just to survive lane, but for late game you go blow up the AD carries. Instant trade. No worries! Here comes Kassadin again to go clean up!

Is there any sort of general consensus whether Zac is a strong champ or not? So far I've played against him top 4 times and absolutely crushed him 4 times because imo he does no damage at all, and out of the jungle he just seemed really underwhelming because of the windup time for his jump. Of course, it also could be that all those Zacs just sucked, so I'm not really sure.
|
Lane zac is definitely not very viable. Still unsure on jungle zac, haven't seen enough of him to get a proper sense of how good he is.
|
I thought general consensus at high elo was that Zac is really good, at least I've seen the streamers think so ... My personal opinion is, I've seen him like 10 times and he's been worthless each time. :/

Oh I need to try this for Kassadin the next time I solo mid... I was also thinking of Master Yi.

I think his ideal is in the jungle and it's because of that ridiculous jump. If the windup time is the issue, I feel like the jungler using it isn't being clever enough with their positioning to take advantage of the fact that you can jump MANY LARGE WALLS like a boss.

Ugh, this is pissing me off. I'm starting to think that LCS teams should have fixed lineup, and only be allowed to drop a starter for a sub. No trading or picking up new members until after the midseason playoffs, IMO.
I really do NOT like an LCS team taking members from a challenger team who had great hopes of becoming an LCS team for the second part of the season.

So clearly the best EU LCS team would be Alexich Genja Edward Diamondprox Darien or Xpeke Yellowstar Nrated Diamond prox Soaz
