"Why are you playing jungle Garen?"
"Hai did it in Korea and won!"
Coming to a queue near you~

Hmm..NA junglers all seem really lackluster. Amazing seems rather nondescript when he's not on Elise. NoName would be good, except his Lee Sin is so goddamn awful it's embarassing. Dexter hasn't been playing well the second half of the split. Same with Crumbz. IWD is doing pretty well lately, as is Helios, but I'm hesitant to put them near the top of the list.

You guys make it sound like Meteos is in his own tier, and everyone else seems to randomly rotate between "meh" and "awful" tiers by the minute.

Now that he doesn't have to play second support for Balls in the first 5 minutes of every game again, he is.

In terms of NA junglers, Meteos has either been "good" or "consistent" tier, which when the previous best NA jungler was TheOddOne (who fell off hard near end of s4 spring split) he's basically alone at the top. NA has next to no talent in the jungle position, and I'd argue that mid and top are also pretty lackluster in that talent pool as well.
My evidence for that is how the last few splits have gone, with teams importing tops and junglers to NA, TSM importing Bjerg to mid at the beginning of season 4, and that outside of Shiphtur, basically every other mid laner is "meh" or "awful" tier.

I had a jungle Garen in one of my games a few days ago. It was not a fun experience.

I don't even understand why someone would pick this, there's even weird stuff in the jungle that's better and more fun to play, like Fizz or Quinn.
Unless you really really feel like playing Garen, but then do a teambuilder and play him top for the sake of your teammates. :/

Yeah, this was in ranked as well. At first I was like "Well ok, maybe this is just like his gimmick pick or something and he knows what he's doing." Nope, 2-8 record as Garen. Gets executed at double golems at one point.

From watching the NA LCS finals I'd say that Meteos is pretty clearly the best NA jungler. He was especially impressive in game 5 imo.
would people be interested in me analysing the games like I just did or was it just boring and uneducational

would people be interested in me analysing the games like I just did or was it just boring and uneducational I was busy making letmelose uncomfortable in twitch chat. Would watch a past broadcast of it tomorrow though. + Show Spoiler [chat dump] +Letmelose: i dunno Letmelose: the most ground breaking thing a coach did Letmelose: this year Letmelose: is probably Prime Optimus' coach Letmelose: who came up with the 4 v 0 meta Arkniedemon: Was that really his idea? Letmelose: yah Gahlowake: I though the Dade/Pawn swap was pretty smart Arkniedemon: that's actually crazy Letmelose: a cheese to beat skt t1 s Letmelose: dade pawn stuff Letmelose: is more emotional/team vibe stuff imo Arkniedemon: That actually makes me belive in the coaching thing. If they can shift the meta in a positive way, they are truly advancing the game Letmelose: rather than swapping players based on strategy and champion pool interactions Gahlowake: prime... you know you suck when you need to cheese to be SKTS Letmelose: i actually like skt t1 s a lot Letmelose: dont bad mouth my precious ezhoon Arkniedemon: That;s what I mean in a sense that coaches should be changing the game. And maybe thats why the other regions aren't doing too well. Because their management doesnt understand how to change LoL in a way to benefit their players Arkniedemon: SKT organization was awesome Letmelose: he's like the froggen of kr Arkniedemon: Loved both teams Arkniedemon: had fun watching all their games Letmelose: carrying his terribad top laner Snaekticus93: lol god forbid alliance gets an irelia ban against them Arkniedemon: hahahaa Gahlowake: KT is best KT Letmelose: wait Snaekticus93: idk what they would do for their top lane Arkniedemon: The irelia ban into the instant forfeight Letmelose: gahlo Letmelose: are u from tl? Gahlowake: Finally noticed? Letmelose: lol Gahlowake: Letmelose senpai finally noticed me... Letmelose: this is weird Letmelose: first time i saw a tl member Letmelose: on chat Letmelose: or at least found one Arkniedemon: what;s that? Letmelose: oh it's just this site Gahlowake: teamliquid Letmelose: i go to Letmelose: has some pretty informed posters Gahlowake: And some...less Letmelose: well Letmelose: the awkwardness got to me Letmelose: see you around gahlo Letmelose: bye Gahlowake: T_T
We were in talking for probably 15-20 minutes before that point.

When it worked.
For some reason everything was screwy for me on your last vid. Otherwise, I am all in, plus I hate riot casters.

That's also because Flame has been the only good/consistent player on CJ Blaze since he joined them, and all of CJ's attempts to build around Flame have failed. And if we are talking about top 3 NA players for their role, here's my list (in no order): Top: Zion, Balls, Dyrus Jungle: Meteos, Dexter, NoName Mid: XWX, Bjergsen, Link ADC: Dlift, Wildturtle, Sneaky Support: Lemon, Aphro, Xpecial Link? Does not compute. Remaining list invalid. But seriously, I want to talk more about just diving the stupid Freezing AD Carry. According to this list all clg players besides seraph are top 3 in their role. Yet they finished behind dignitas, curse, lmq, c9 and tsm.
also lmao do you really think lemonnation is a good player ? He's probably in competition for the title of worse support player in the NA lcs with krepo. I don't doubt he has a very good understanding of strategies and pick and ban phase but his actual ingame skills are .......... questionable. That says a lot about how good sneaky is (hint : better than doublelift and wildturtle).

Amusingly enough, it's not even that bad (I mean, I wouldn't make it work at high Gold level obv., but if even Darius can be jungled... ), and with the new golem spirit it's probably absurdly tanky with just 1-2 items.
Reminds me of TOO hitting 5.1k+ HP on Maokai with golem spirit, SV, warmogs, randuin's. It would have been scary if he didn't end up oom in 2 rotations and an ult and sat at almost 4k HP and no mana trudging after people.

Jungle garen isn't that awful. I think he might be better than jungle fizz. I've played him a few times and done fine.
EDIT: dude don't insult jungle Darius, he's like almost viable viable and can be really sick in certain situations

Have you guys seen the Bing rewards RP thing?
http://www.bing.com/rewards/dashboard
basically Bing has a program where you can make an account and they give you points for searching on Bing every day (lol), you can use these points on $5 burger king giftcard, which you can then enter into the LoL client under purchase RP tab and redeem for RP.
You can make about a card a month. Which is insignificant, but it only takes like a minute a day to do (you can just go to pictures, search something, and click the suggested links at the top repeatedly). So if you don't like spending real money or just do it while watching a show or whatever it's kind of nice to have some extra RP to play with.
