Just because you have a world class player doesn't mean your team knows what to do with it. Quoting myself on this one. | ||

Thanks for the laughs. Having said all of this, I expect his team to place fourth just to spite me. Talk ill of Piglet? lol, no one really has. Everyone is just trying to calm down the absurd hype behind him.

God knows what's happening with LMQ. TSM doesn't look much different from before, maybe a little worse. | ||

I've queued into it 5 times in a row when playing rumble and I've won 4/5. It seems like rumble wins levels 1-7ish but even though you win the first all-in with ulti, riven's ulti comes up significantly faster and you have to play like a pussy for a long time until it's back again =/ | ||

Noone doubts that Piglet still has it, he just won't play on his 2013 level at all most likely. Unless he's CptJack. Fortunately, he doesn't need to play to his 2013 level to be the best ADC in NA. Even now, there is no AD in NA who plays close to the level Piglet did in 2013. EDIT: Also, comparing Score and Piglet is pretty amusing because 2013 KT played way more around Score than SKT played around Piglet (allowed him to do shit like burn Flash aggressively in fights to get kills and look good doing it, even though on any other team it would have been super questionable). SKT was the better team, but KT did WAY more to make Score look good than SKT did for Piglet. | ||

People who don't think Faker was crazy amazing in 2014 are fooling themselves. I would give him #1 player of 2014 if he didn't seem pretty off his game during the SSW games to get to worlds. He was the #1 player during Winter by a significant margin, and hard carried SKT to wins during every other season. He did these insanely memorable things on Orianna, along with being the lynchpin of the only team to take a game off Najin Shield during the qualifier. He had 1 "bad" series and I am pretty sure it was because he was overaggressive due to desperation, because his team was getting shat on the other 4 positions every game. | ||

Having said all of this, I expect his team to place fourth just to spite me. well he does have very high top end performance. people use soloqueue to judge players probably will not place piglet too highly, but even in soloqueue he'll have these 20-3 games, and i think that is a better representation of his carrying capacity. he just always goes for the aggressive play in lane and not very good at farming under pressure. if they can play an aggression lane and basically outduel the opposite number, they'll be fine. | ||

In all seriousness, I haven't seen much hype for Piglet being god tier but then again he doesn't have to. It's NA. I hate saying it but you only have to be better then NA duders which for him is clearly going to not be a problem. | ||

As ultimate T1 fanboy for soon-to-be a decade, i don't wanna see my best player dying for team sins, i want him to blossom in the garden.

Idk, i like Piglet but unless last 2 seasons of OGN/NLB were a temporary slump, i don't see him being UNDISPUTABLE top-1 NA. Unless, of course, everyone randomly starts playing worse than they were before or Caitlyn becomes top-1 pick again. | ||

Former has replaced their jungler with some dude and second doesn't exist. They likely could contest top2 with cop. I'd argue that Quas top, IWD jungle and Xpecial supp were more important upgrades. | ||

Riven has a lot of perks that give Rumble headaches, such as how her Q will rotate Rumble (and consequently the Flamespitter). Then there is the issue of mobility (getting out of Equalizers) and shields vs DoT. | ||
