It didn't seem like it was a case where "I'm really smart and I know what I'm doing, if only these fat fingers would do what I want them too!". Like, his drafting seemed bad, his in game decision making seemed bad, in addition to obvious mechanical deficits. That being said... maybe it's less of a "he'll help us get better" move, and more of a PR / fan support move. Personally I don't really care for elementz, but there is some evidence to suggest that he has a decent sized, loyal fan-base. | ||

The only reason I answered that question was because so many people wanted to know if I'm continuing with curse. When I say "no" the next logical question is "why?" So I said we didn't agree on some things. There was no "clash". | ||

Just having someone there to force proper practice schedules seems like a good idea. That and healthy living. Not everyone has to be good or smart at the game to help elevate the teams level of play | ||

I don't understand why I keep seeing people bitch on reddit since, imo, S3 is like the best time for people who hated playing against heavy magic dealers since we see so many more physical damage based teams and Bulwark means that teams typically have significantly more MR than they did before. I hope they do, because they introduced an item like Liandry's. I don't feel like people have more MR than they used to. The ADC might, but it's worth a lot less than it used to be. And that's not even necessarily true, banshee's veil was very common as a 6th item because the MR was actually worth something (and the spell shield wasn't prone to being shut off for long periods of time due to poke). If you get hit by someone with a Liandry's that has a damage over time spell, it burns off an inordinate amount of your health. It's almost like everyone is running around with a current health version of Brand passive. Which is fairly close to being the complete opposite of what FoN was. And there aren't really any other big ticket regen items out there now either, so you're pretty much compelled to blue pill and come back. If homeguards didn't exist, this would be obscene. It still is obscene in my opinion. | ||

If he "coaches" by coming up with strategies for the team, analyzing their replays, and stuff like that then GGU/TCG is gonna have a bad time this season. | ||

All this talk about elementz Its entirely possible the guy makes bad decisions in the moment, theres a very big difference between analysing a play as you watch it / rewatch it / watch it again and making the right move in a situation thats unfolding while you play. | ||

He's a likeable dude and I'm sure having someone like that will be really helpful to the team.

Right now there's a lot of importance in burst damage - the nerfs to resistances and aspd, buffs to % penetration, and riot's hard-on for %HP damage all contribute to this. When burst is so important, cooldowns become more valuable - you won't for instance see a Lux blow all her spells on a Renekton with 3k HP when Zed, Jarvan, Diana, etc. are lurking nearby, ready to steal her lunch money. So there's really no need for Renekton or any similar bruiser to stack MR except in some fringe cases. Against champions that do a lot of incidental magic damage - Karthus, Nasus, Malzahar, Rumble, etc - buying Spirit Visage + Hexdrinker can sometimes be warranted, but I think mitigating damage from the enemy ADC is far more important. Can someone explain to me why Riot thinks that a heavy burst meta as opposed to a sustained damage meta is good? | ||
