Without LCS they would've definitely lost a lot of ground imo. Not that it can't be better of course...

I have to share this story with you.
First off, my friends and I are not very good at this game. We have a 3v3 team, and we got placed in bronze 5. So we started working our way up from there at the beginning of the season, and we got to our placement matches to get out of Bronze and into silver. So Last night, I sent the wifey out with some cash to go shopping, took the dog out for a long walk, and got ready to play our placement matches, which are a best of five. We lose the first two, and then win the next two. The last game is a very tense back and forth, we manage to push in and drop the bottom inhib, and then fall back. Some skirmishing ensues as an ace at this point of the game almost guarantees the other team will win. We wait for our oppurtunity, find one of them out of position and pounce - earning an ACE while losing one of our teammates. We are laughing and screaming on skype as we walkinto their base...my friend is renekton and he tanks the tower while we slaughter it. They are all dead for twenty more seconds as we begin attacking the nexus. We are laughing and having a great time as we are finally going to get into silver. We gg and the enemy ggs back.
Then the inhib respawns....making the nexus invulnerable. We notice and quickly start attacking the inhib, panic sets in and we switch back to the nexus. We get it down to 1/3 ealth but they have respawned and kill us.
Then my internet drops. I am out for 30 seconds, and my roommate is down for 2-3 minutes. When he comes back we say ok one more ace and we got this LOL.
Then they slaughter us and we lose.
I hate this game :-)

KR still outpacing NA/EU by a pretty wide margin.
I don't see NA/EU catching up to KR unless Riot stopped patching for like a year and let meta set in, and eventually EU/NA would catch up.

I'm not sure that he's bitching. If you are really upset, I'm sorry. I laughed my ass off picturing you frantically trying to get the internet back after cackling into voip about your promotion.

He's definitely not upset :-)

I'll still take a more competitive NA/EU scene. Just gotta look at them in a vacuum, that's how I stay interested in the NA LCS ha.

Nada, not even play in the LCS, just people picking unpopular champs.

Ive noticed that playing as Fizz and supposedly getting countered by Ryze is pretty much not working, due to Ryze's new range on his abilites. Does this happen to other people as well or am I getting lucky with shit Ryze players?

Okay, last night i was going for adc in champ select, and the dude above me in the pick order calls support and locks zilean. So, i had never before played with a zilean support, and in case it happens again, i'd like to know:
- what are the adc that go well with zil support?
- how is the lane supposed to be played?
I was at a complete loss and prolly didn't play it right. Oh and i was corki.

Support Zil is pretty cheesy. Has bomb harass in lane but doesn't have any hard CC so he's kind of a one trick pony. His ult isn't really that useful if you're already losing (which is likely if they have a better support). If you have to play with it just play passive and farm, let him harass with bombs and hopefully just out farm your opponent to the point where if he ults you, you can get a kill on your second life.

Better just pick something with a lot of damage and all in lvl 2.After first back unless he has a lot of ap/mpen runes/masteries you can just outsustain his damage with only doran/vamp.

Man. I wish I understood madlifes ali. Just picked him to counter blitz (they part worked), but later even 4 man pulvs seemed useless.

Wow. Love the idea. Both funny and awesome.
