Early BF sword on any ADC wrecks anyone. rofl.

If early BF on any ADC wrecks anyone, then going for a shiv and getting fast waveclear instead for another 1000 gold seems pretty bad right?

I usually (ideally) do [BF -> Shiv -> IE / zerks -> other] on most ADs where I'd want to be building IE and shiv, is this abnormal? I always felt that the flat AD first was too strong to pass on, personally, although I don't play much trist.

Shiv first has very different priorities on what it's doing in the early game than standard marksman play.

People just hate certain champions, that's just how it works.

People hate faceroll lane-bullies with minimal ressource management.

Renekton/Teemo/Yorick go easily in that niche.


No offense, but as somebody who has mained top at a pretty high level this is a view a person can only have at low level play or from reading too much reddit. Against good players Teemo has one of the most challenging laning phases of any top laner. There is literally no character who requires more consistently excellent positioning and judgement.

It is always easy to tell when people have no idea what they are talking about with Teemo because public opinion is almost the exact opposite of the truth. His laning phase is super rough but is team fight and objective control is really strong if your allies can engage or force your opponent to engage. He also scales insanely well but is really only viable now because of the 2-3 tank meta and new masteries, losing oracles is just icing on the cake.

I love the little guy but I am convinced most people are frustrated because they consider him a troll pick when he is actually conditionally top tier. The low expectations makes him always exceed them which leads to anger.


mr_tolkien is very irate that you called him, the great diamond up to 1 level top player, a low level or reddit person to have such opnions
he finds your arguments laughable and calling teemo not a lane bully when he's a massive bully against lots of common top laners absurd
but apparently he can't come up with a proper response so just bitches to me about it so ill redirecct the hate

Early BF implies you're getting it on ADC before the enemy gets it, but considering Trist's weak early game, the chances of you getting a BF before the opponent, is slim to none. That's like saying, "getting early Triforce is so good", well no shit, you got it early before anyone can build anything to deal with it.
So instead you just play lane passive, until you get shiv, then you shove out wave, and go do other stuff. Similar to how mid lane works after the 7 minute mark, where midlaners just shove out their lane as fast as possible, and roam around and do stuff, without trading too much.

On a personal note I'd like to officially request, on behalf of mr_tolkien and the great french nation, that Velocirapture requests a name change to "Velocirapteur" as a homage to the glorious and cultured french language.

you may apply for name change in the following thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=3398

Actually, we use latin for this, namely «Velociraptor». Just like English.

The good trad would be be «Velociravissement».

I know about that, but the way Clutz words it it sounds like he's mad because Riot wrote that Faker wore a skin in the last game (or even all 3).


Please,

It is pretty conspiracy-theory-worthy that the time that Riot decides to do this is immediately after someone changed the Skin settings to Faker's account before the OGN finals (or so Faker claims). Personally I think they should have just released "Riven Riven" which looks exactly like Riven, as a 1 RP skin as a joke or something.

Did Faker use Battle Bunny in OGN? I didn't actually notice that, which is odd since that skin is an eyesore.

Apparently the OGN crew left it on that skin and faker is so used to skin not being changed he didn't notice it was on bunny until in game.

someone was on his PC and preselected skins on his account, which he didnt know until the game started.
He didnt check the skins since he never uses them, so he started first game with a skin.

He told this in the interview after the games.
