(Here's the link, but the site appears to be down) If this is true, then the joke scenarios Fusilero's been proposing in LR threads are actually coming true. Next they'll bench Xmithie to put RobertxLee on adc. EDIT: Apparently "benching" might be the wrong word, evidently Bloodwater is considering retirement and they need to make a roster change to deal with it. Richard in the past has tended to be on the money with these articles, so I'd imagine some form of change with XDGG is coming. It is actually hilarious that they wonder why the community doesn't really like them when they do stuff like this. | ||

I think everyone gathered that with the Patoy change, but if LoL wants to be a sport you can't just aim for teams to 'always get along', people are never going to get along with everyone. The managers job is to make them work together as a team, it really shouldn't matter if they get along or not as long as it doesn't affect in-game performance (Which in XDGGs case it could be considering they are 3-9, but if Bloodwater was having an argument with Zuna I know who I would keep on the team). | ||

Because jax E stops darius from stacking his stuff he can all in quite well. you just need to survive past 6 or so and darius is easy to gank so thats a plus Actually modified autos go through dodge, so he'll usually be able to pull->auto, you E, he W+Q, you've got 3 stacks on your face. And yeah it's not like Darius wants to come close to you to hit Q, plus he keeps momentum while he does it, so just wait for the tower to be starting its attack walk in Q-blade range, click back and Q immediatly, enemy takes blade-Q (fucking huge damage, it beats Spear Shot at level 1 for example, not including the DoT) and you walk away unharmed. Another annoyance, at least with someone like Jax, is Trundle. I miss so many friggin' cs because I try to dance around his Q range, and when he hits one (not that hard, with extended range abuse the tower shot animation or just wait for opponent to try and take ranged creeps) the mini-slow coming with it fucks pathing up so hard it makes you dance in circles without ever trying to finish off the damn minion. | ||

Yeah, of course, if it's a chemistry issue, or that Bloodwater doesn't want to play anymore (I heard he was considering retirement) it kind of makes sense, but still - why keep Xmithie on adc? If you're going to shuffle people around, shouldn't he go back to the jungle, Zuna back to adc, and find a new support? EDIT: The article Vlanitak posted explains a lot. | ||

Hopefully they do get Xmithe back into the jangle. | ||

Anyway if XDG needs a support there is Nydus/Patoy etc that could be reasonable replacements and certainly there are a couple of decent supports in the challenger scene as well | ||

also a point made to me in the last 30 min, before the season when the original swap leaked XGD firmly denied, so the official statement is hardly a trump to the original news. | ||
