EPTWhat do you guys think about stream your practices? I am very against that, I mean how can have prepare something special if you publicly play them on stream? In many other sports, they even tighten up the security around stadiums when the team is in a private practice session. E-sport should learn to do that as well.

Jayce has more armour and MR than almost anyone (you can remove the "almost" when it comes to MR) as long as he skills his ult within 2-3 levels of when it gets available, and Elise has at least as much MR, and more armour than most, champs when in melee form (less so at early levels for armour, but her good growth compensates for it pretty quickly). And Nidalee got her Cougar form resistances removed despite a naturally weaker kit outside of poke (she's particularly strong in some situations, namely with her 40% shred and in skirmishes that let her abuse her short cooldowns in Cougar form when AD, and obviously her poke when AP, but Jayce has stronger burst in melee form, and even ranged form as long as the target isn't low HP, while also having tankiness, a strong renewable shred of his own, his stupid spammable %MS buffs that rival pounce as long as you don't have to use a wall to escape/chase, and dual kits that click better so his continued combo is also smoother and more damaging than Nid's; Elise has stronger burst when using her form switch, stronger dps when abusing her spiderlings and the crazy strong on-hit of her spider form, is a stronger/safer assassin unless they get fed, and better scaling). I mean, there's a lot of stuff I dislike about Nidalee, and I didn't see the day I'd defend her coming, but when you see the kind of crap that goes well under the radar in Jayce and Elise, I'm still puzzled as to how Riot thought removing her Cougar form resistances would do her good. The key to understanding Riot is understanding what they secretly hate: For Nidalee it is team heals, splitpush, and the ability to go AP or AD/Bruiser (Same reason they killed AP Kog/Soraka everywhere). Elise is just too strong in general, and Jayce is very strong as well. However, they don't have things Riot hates (instead Elise has a Free Hourglass, Skillshot stun, and % HP damage while jayce has poke + exploitable timings). | ||

I heard in Saint's stream chat that they were told to stream them. I'm iffy on it. On one hand, I'm glad because it's the NA scene actually doing what it's supposed to, but on the other I miss watching streams of specific players that aren't on Curse. | ||

It's a joke to suggest that people who stream scrims "aren't serious." What a massive leap in logic. | ||

Edit: The "taking practice serious" comment wasn't meant as they aren't serious because they stream scrims. It's a known fact NA teams don't practice nearly as hard/long as KR teams, but if they did they probably wouldn't stream scrims because they would be trying out new strategies more often. | ||

It's a complete joke to suggest that people who stream scrims "aren't serious." What a massive leap in logic. Hmm judging from Curse alone, I think they stream almost every scrims they got. Just do some math with Saint's streaming hours you will see. I never said that they are not serious, you just can't be as prepared as other teams if you stream most of your shits, thats all am saying. | ||

Inner Flame The detonation area now occurs at the actual point of missile impact instead of at the center of the initial target that is hit For all of their Karma quality of life changes, that feels to me like a pretty brutal and undeserved nerf. | ||

I don't see how they've slowed quite a bit.. from the start of the season til now they've done pretty much the exact same thing: always beat bad teams, split vs good teams. Really the only knock on their season thus far is that they split with CLG, who isn't performing at the 'good' level(the early top 4 split has definitely turned into a top3/bottom 5). I also don't see how the level of NA LCS has anything to do with your previous comment about preparation against the teams in your league. Don't misread that to think I believe they are as steely and prepared as possible, but in comparison to their current competition their practice strategy clearly hasn't left them under-prepared. The only team they looked unprepared for all season was the recent TSM match, and TSM's strategy was based on their LCS play not their streamed scrims vs CLG. | ||

TSM looks really strong with wildturtle, CLG is looking better and better, and Dignitas is decent as always. Freefall where though? They'd need to do AWFUL this week to fall out of top 2, which means they're already in semifinals of the playoffs and a top4 finish. They don't seem like unstoppable favorites to win it all, but they never really have(see: splitting games with the other top teams even early in the season); I don't see that as some freefall in the making. | ||

In Super Week v2 the only other top four team they face is dig so they are all but assured to finish in the top two and secure their spot for the next half of the season. The real important thing is how they handle their off time and prepare for the Summer season. | ||
