Misspelled Dlift's name? Or is it actually Pang?

For the record, I wouldn't say he still does jaw dropping plays. I mean, he can be good, but he's no longer jaw droppingly so. But that's just me.

He's pretty over rated now i feel like

He doesn't feel as crazy good as he once was (he plays a lot more conservative than he used to), but considering the ADC pool in current LCS he's still the best in NA (whatever the fuck that means). I think a lot of it has to do with how gold income has equalized a lot due to more passive gold gain, and CS difference not meaning as much.

I think Sneaky is currently a more well rounded play style that allows for more consistent play, regardless of the meta.

That was maybe true of last split, he hasn't been quite as impressive this split. Also, it's important to realize that C9's playstyle requires Sneaky to play like that, we have yet to see a focused playstyle that revolves around Sneaky hardcarrying his team.

Sneaky is pretty solid though, I'll give you that.

It doesn't help that the jungle buddy meta shits on C9's latent strength of Meteos and Balls having a big impact early, compacted onto, what I can only guess, Hai not being 100% comfortable yet. Not only is the weight put on him, but the meta is making it even harder to do so.

I do think the Double could be even better if Monte put him in the Kog'Maw-corner.

everyone could do better in NA if they weren't so fucking stubborn, and just picked up kogmaw. It would prevent the retarded bush face check, and no vision barons.

Gahlo, I hope you are referring to when Samsung's manager famously banned Imp from playing any champion but Kog in soloqueue until he stopped doing stupid aggro things in scrims.

If not, I am way too big of a nerd.

Base salary, maybe. Overall, I severely doubt it.

If I managed finances for CLG which is basically a bunch of kids (well, they're my age) with arguably no knowledge of how the real world works, I'd probably cut a bunch of costs and skim some savings while including clauses that got me extra money/ percentages from any sponsorship deals, hue. I mean with that sort of lousy pay, they're asking you to either negotiate bonuses or create them yourself.

Who cares that C9 is doing bad, different meta shifts affect teams differently. Remember what happened to TSM last season? Adapt or die/ blame Rito.

So I've all but given up on LoL, and now I play Dawngate in its place.

3 years ago League killed my interest in Starcraft 2, and now Dawngate has done the same for League.

aand now I wait for someone to actually create a thread in Other Games about DG.

What is the advantage of GA over Zhonya? Regardless of the the champ. GA is a bit cheaper which is smth, but outside of that it doesnt provide some amazing stats worth having it without the passive. Zhonya on the other hand has an active similar to GA passive coming every 90 sec. Way more useful than GA if you ask me. I started building Zhonya on all champs, adc, ad top, ad mid, I don;t care, cant see any drawback in comparison with the GA. Of course sometimes I may miss my active but still it pays off much more than GA's passive that comes what? like in 5 minutes or more I guess.


On squishy champions, not much. On tanky champions it's effectively a 30% health increase when they are the first into a team fight. I suppose much of the confusion here is that people think GA is a good item on squishy champions. GA on a champion who is likely to die last in a team fight or is core enough damage so that the other team can sit and wait out a GA timer is a poor item choice compared to mixed offensive/defensive choices (BT and/or Scimitar) or single damage type defensive items.

So sure, Zhonyas hourglass may be a better choice then guardian angel on many champions. But that is only because GA is a poor choice on the champions

I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.
