It just so happens more people than usual are doing it right now.

In other news, similar to the 5HITCOMBO thread, there's a clip of Dyrus providing analysis of some Silver support game. I'm sitting here watching this, and not only cringing at the absolutely shit pays and dumbassery going on in the game, but at Dyrus who is missing obvious points of analysis, no critique of skill leveling...ugh.

Makes me really depressed when I know gameplay-wise I'm somehow at the same level as these people and I just can't seem to improve much, yet if I watched my own games from afar I'd be screaming at myself like 'what the fuck were you thinking?!' The dissonance too stronk.


Dyrus seems like a nice guy and is a great player but not the most eloquent I think.


I agree. When I hear scarra and WoDx talking, it's often pretty clear that those two went to college and had some reasonably good education; when I hear voyboy talking it's pretty clear that he is a very smart individual who will certainly succeed in college. Dyrus? Not so much.

Shyvana is fine, but with hecarim around, why would you pick her over him? And now I feel Zac is also in the "do stuff better than shyvana" category...

Out of the ones I play, Voli has some lanes he just wins and GP can do really well if you get ahead or if the other player is worse than you.

I never tried Rumble and I didn't like Jayce.

I don't understand what Riot thinks the jungle is. If you are talking about soloQ, Shyvana is still fine, except that she is just outright worse than the pony (and IMO mundo). If we are talking about competitive, the problem is that the only clear that matters is the first clear.

Someone should drag up quotes from riot about how S3 jungle is bringing back the carry jungler and how much more farm there will be. Silly Riot having a disconnect between their brains and their mouths

Not just the jungle. There seems to fundamentally always be a certain disconnect between how Riot thinks their game is played, and how it's actually played.

On the issue of Shyvana, people just got attached to the idea of running her in the jungle when I don't see what about her kit fundamentally makes her a jungler.

She was a strong jungler in the period of time when AoE clearing was abusively faster than single-target clearing--that's pretty much it. In terms of the things a jungler is expected to provide, she's not exactly that amazing at many of them. Add to this the fact that she's a resourceless champ with decent laning abilities and pretty heavy farm demand.

Yeah darien was dominating with shyvana top and everyone just stopped doing it

I saw some soaz I think try it recently though but he built way too much damage when shyv does a lot of base damage and just a wits end is more than enough until lategame at least

her laning phase has problems because of lack of sustain and good gap closing but she can clear really fast so she might be able to play similar to singed

shyv with hydra is hilarious wave clear. aa+Q+hydra active = no more wave.

Melee without sustain or gapclosers doesn't really work mid imo .

is there a single AD who handily beats Draven in lane? Without a support I can depend on, who picks appropriately, I feel utterly helpless against that champion. 9 times out of 10 my support will straight-up lose the lane for me by hard engaging early on, despite the fact that I tell EVERY support I lane with in solo queue NOT to, because he gets so much bonus AD and will out-trade fucking everyone.

What the hell am I supposed to do? The odd time my support doesn't just lose automatically for me, I can farm up to the point where I'm relevant, but other times, even if that happens, we get a combination of zed jungle with kayle and nida solo lanes and there's just nothing we can do.

Handily no.Varus and cait are only 2 imo(but cait only if you can outplay him).This comes from a draven main but yeah his laning is rather op.

I've been beating Draven with Ez, but its not because I'm dueling him. I think just straight 1v1ing draven or getting 2v1'd (shitty support) is just something you can't ever do. You can poke him out really well, especially with Lizard Elder + Sheen, and once you get 6 just r/e/q him from the bush and auto for the last ~200 hp he has.

without a supprt you can depend on? i dont think so <.< but Cait/janna can handle draven/xsupport pretty well.

If you just run vamp quints and go double doran/vamp you can ALMOST completely ignore all those pokey champs as draven.Especially ez is one of the easiest to beat(as any adc for that matter).
