Try to tell someone "LoL's going to be at the next Dreamhack!" and "LoL's going to be on OGN!", before the LCS wiped most occidental LoL tourneys. I'm pretty sure the second sentence would be met with "What's OGN?" by most people. | ||

Heimer is great at pushing. The only thing that stops him is towers auto-aggroing his own turrets. Could we see the rise of Ohmwrecker/Banner of Command Heimerdinger? | ||

I currently go 3 green 1 pink 4 red 1 blue on any support i expect to be kinda aggressive on (I am on a sona binge currently except for the rare games thresh is playable). Used to go faerie, but i need at least 2 green 1 pink, and having 4 pots just destroys the enemy lane so often that i don't want to play without them anymore. General plan is place 1 ward at mid wraiths ramp at ~1:45 so it covers both mid and river, then push botlane to get 2 first and be really aggressive. The ward at mid + at tribush keep you completely save against any ganks, even if you are right in front of their turret. Be a total dick in their lanebush. If they ward it, i pink it. This is also why i need at least 2 green 1 pink. 4 Pots allow you to trade with impunity and just bully the enemy out of lane, while 1 blue gives you mana if you need it. Combined with 1/13/16 masteries and splitpen reds/ad quints+ ignite lets you just destroy fools who come into lane with greedy shit like gp10 runes or only 1-2 pots. | ||

Could we see the rise of Ohmwrecker/Banner of Command Heimerdinger? Heimer's actually also a crushingly powerful teamfighter with/against the right teamcomps. It's just that there are certain common picks that are exceedingly hard for him to deal with (e.g. Zed). EDIT: Though one thing to note is that while Heimer is probably more useful in a competitive draft for reasons I stated before, Ziggs is also probably the better solo queue champ for the same reasons--since in solo queue you don't need a niche pick, but something that is well rounded, even if it's worse than other well-rounded picks. | ||

Support start? 1 green, 3 pink, 2 pots 2 green, 2 pink, 3 pots 3 green, 1 pink, 5 pots More pinks if your jungler wants to gank bot and more pots if you want to trade aggressively. 3 pinks for shit like Eve. I usually don't start Bead or Charm because I don't like getting Philo Stone. I buy mana pots on mana hungry supports. I rush Sightstone because Heart of Gold. | ||

A lot of NA players (this is a VERY rash generalization) are not receptive to criticism, and would potentially be unhappy with a lot of criticism when the casters are analyzing. But yes, I personally would prefer casters to be more critical in LCS and such. OGN and nicegameTV cater to (mostly) different demographics as far as I know. Think about how critical asian countries are of their youth - pressing for only the best. American culture is far more lackadaisical in that regard. This isn't the ONLY factor, but I certainly think it contributes a non-negligible amount. Perhaps there is some cultural influence, but culture doesn't explain either the blatant dishonesty or incompetence in calling a 10k gold difference and playing it off as if the game is still closely contested. As far as I'm concerned the demographics that OGN (korean cast to be clear) and LCS cater to are identical; your average LoL player. All i am really asking in riot is to treat the viewers with a little respect, and honestly you don't need some genius challenger level understanding to do this. | ||

My opinion: In most match ups, I start 4 greens, pink, 2 pots (2 red or 1/1 depending on how purple my champion is). Versus (or with) Twitch or Eve I generally bring two pinks into lane. I also never really start with a bead - the regen is cute but you lose three minutes of vision or a lot of early XP backing for more wards. In any event, you're almost never going to want Philo before SS (it does happen sometimes - if you magically get a double and 6 minute drag or something). In the rebroadcast of the KT/CJ match last night, I think Madlife started with only greens, and his opponent had a pink. Neither had beads (I am almost certain). I almost exclusively play 5 stacks though, so yolo queue could require different stuff. | ||

To be fair it's much more likely for an NA/EU team to throw a 10k lead than a (good) ogn team to throw a 4k lead | ||
