So Tier means nothing when it comes to season rewards? Because I'm pretty sure the difference between D5 and D1 is larger than Silver to plat, and they will get the same borders. I donno if I should be happy that I don't have to tryhard in yoloqueue for the rest of the season or sad that there will be "high elo" borders everywhere.


I think Riot is more concerned with the divisions in terms of number of people playing than it is concerned with differences in skill level between divisions. In terms of handing out rewards like this.

When you're doing these sorts of rewards you want everybody to be getting something. Even the Bronze league people get a border.

Also, there's nothing showing that the borders for the individual tiers won't be slightly different.


Quoting myself woo!

It even says in the post that the icons will be different for each tier.


It's prob going to be a cup with III on it, almost the same as last year, with corresponding colors and stuff. Maybe angled a different way.

Malphite is a poor jungler, though. Zac's jungle is pretty strong and has good utility later with just jungle farm.

Which junglers give you a long range initiate and AoE CC? Malphite, Jarvan, and Gragas?

zac is one of the most powerful top laners, very few champions are as good.
When you have Zac top lane, there is no reason to put him jungle instead for "draft reasons" as half the draft is allready won by having zac toplane.

Statistics from Leaguepedia on Zac:

26.7% winrate in LPL, 64% pick/ban rate.
35% winrate in OGN, 55.1% pick/ban rate.
48.6% winrate in EU LCS, 44.9% pick/ban rate.
64.6% winrate in NA LCS, 62.8% pick/ban rate. (And we know Meteos is a stud on Jungle Zac.)

"Zac toplane is autowin draft" is an incredibly shallow look at the game, drafting strategy, and team composition.

Exactly my reasons for suddenly trying to ladder as much as possible. Unfortunately, school + music lessons OP. Whenever I'm in the LiquidPractice channel, feel free to hit me up, though (2Sunday).

Leaguepedia stats are awfully out of date for certain regions. I wouldn't go by those if you wanted to pull game statistics for an argument.

That's great, but that's not the point.

Even if you just look at the statistics I posted, there are a ton of questions regarding the draft process.

-If his win rate is low, why he is still banned?
-What teams was he banned against? Was it a target ban towards a specific player? Did a team ban him because they could not first pick him?
-Can the top laner even play Zac well?
-What teams did he lose to? What position was he played? What position is he drafted?
-In what fashion did that they lose? Was his team outplayed? Were there lane switches?


The fact that so many deep questions exist (with the potential for equally deep answers) should tell you that no draft pick will be an auto-win, and that there is certainly the potential for drafting mindgames.

Meh, I'm ambivalent about Victorious Elise. I play her a fair bit, but a Victorious Vi would have been awesome.

Also I'm glad I actually get a skin this time. Season 2 I barely played, and I didn't quit at my peak and fell back to silver before they announced it was your highest obtained elo, so it didn't count. I was super pissed. And contrary to all you haters, I really like Victorious Janna.
