feral flare is not an issue. if you can't fucking pick an early game jungler and punish a guy for afk farming for the first 15 minutes of the game, that's on you, not cuz of feral flare.

amen to soraka doe, fuck cancer heals.

Strangely enough even in diamond 1 the comp with feral flare junglers and heals works perfectly. Seems like only lane swaps and fast tower push can really punish it and nobody wants to play like this in solo queue.

Given lomoQ's record with laneswaps I'm semi-convinced that lomoQ would find a way to die in a 4v0.


lol the one time I ever agreed to lane swap in s3 my "bot lane" got double killed by the standard 3 min gank top

Xpecial was because of attitude problem. TOO because of performance issues (although, i don't think it was made clear whether or not it was management choice.)

I agree with this. Montecristo's gone to "a guy that lives with the korean scene and learns from them" to "everything I say is korean knowledge and I am right". Not only is he not a player (and as a consequence doesn't have the insights the teams have) but also koreans have been wrong on the meta quite a lot of times already. His ego is starting to show a little too much but meanwhile in europe we have Quickshot as an analyst sooooo ....

wut?



Why would xpecial be giving a tryout for his own spot if he's leaving due to attidute?

To check whether he can use constructive criticism instead of passive-aggressiveness at least when he knows his spot on the team is on the line? To check whether he's so much better than the other guy that his attitude doesn't even matter?

lol, no.
maybe it's initial iteration that only required 25 stacks was a bit over tuned. currently it's actually not that great.

lol champions like udyr, shyv, noc or yi can still get to max stacks in 12-15minutes, its not only dmg but the fact it gives shit ton of gold and makes clear speed ultra fast which allows junglers to out-level and gain more gold than laners without problems laners have, so naturally weak laners but hypercarries late game like yi or jax can jsut sit and farm their items

all while being away from their team for 15 minutes. Depends how much you value 5v4ing the first 15 minutes of the game. If you're playing a champ that can't early gank, and doesn't build feral flare, then yeah, you're shit out of luck.

It's also just as likely for games to be stomps, there plenty of games where the feral flare only team gets shit stomped early on, and even 30 minutes into the game, they still can't get their feral flare stacked because they have no control of their jungle, and their lanes are trying to scrape by taking jungle farm.

FF's problem is that it didn't help Maokai and Maokai-like junglers, which are the ones that actually need help...

Well, you can't deny that FF widened up the jungle pool as well, with stuff like Twitch, Yi, Shyv, Jax, and more Noc. It was nice step forward for jungle pool.

Out of all the roster changes, this Xpecial business is the most shocking one to me. This is very weird.

I mean assuming everything we've been told is true, that he was cut for being a dick to his team, then yea it's going to look weird to people not in the team.

Certainly it did aid those junglers, but I think it made them viable in an unsustainable fashion (which we are seeing as a result of the nerfs). Part of it is because it caused a huge schism between Pro play and SoloQ, and part of it because the item was so strong that it let priority 4 champions beat priority 1-3 champions in duels, which caused unteneble splitpush advantages.

I.E., its fine if your toplane Jax requires my Toplane to stop, but not really fine when your jungle Jax does, unless that jungle Jax is actually a priority 3 champion (but thats not what FF does).

Isn't that how it's been for a while though? at least in regards to junglers vs ADC. ADC's got their shit stomped by jungler for a long ass time, despite getting baby sat. It just changes the dynamic that they can occasionally deal with mid champs that have blown their ult. They're still not beating carry top laners, since top laners can skip FF and go straight into TF+BotRK, which is strictly speaking better than FF+BotRK.

I would say more FF jungle does end up being priority 3 champs, difference is they're giving up jungle farm to the jungler, rather than laners past the midgame.

TSM is net positive after all the roster changes imo. Amazing's more of an upgrade than the loss of Xpecial.

I've been playing solo q again and it feels fine. Soraka is pretty toxic but if you have her banned, summoner Heal isn't that bad.
