Let's just get good laners with good KDA yet don't contribute that much to their team, that'll do it!

Please Zoro could literally jump from school into the airport, arrive at LCS and body every toplane eu without single soloq game.

On a serious note I actually do agree that this is another move that probably won't change anything. I mean, they'll probably look much better week 1 because teams always do after a roster change, but 1) I think Alliance's formula is pretty bad and will always bring issues unless they have decent coaching and everyone else sucks like what happened in S4 Summer 2) they need a different jungler/support because I think neither Shook nor Nyph provide Froggen and Rekkles with wha tthey need.

I actually don't think Froggen's at fault here. I think 100% of all this is on Rekkles. That guy is the biggest pussy alive and it's killing the team. Froggen's still doing well with Shook, when Shook feels like coming out of the jungle, but pairing Rekkles (a giant pussy) with Nyph (might be even bigger of a pussy) is a recipe for disaster. You'll have teamfights where even FROMMAPLESTREET would have carried because he would have actually attacked people instead of running away 24/7.

I mean, those are the meta picks though. Lissandra's mad popular, and so is Ahri. Froggen can still farm it out, but his playstyle will always lean towards farm it out and then win late game teamfights. It's been a staple of Froggen's teams since forever. The real reason Rekkles does not mesh with Elements is fairly simple. On Fnatic, his team consisted of Yellowstar (Playmaker), Xpeke (Playmaker), Soaz (Guy who always wants to 1v1 and cries when he gets ganked). So in that sense, you have a team surrounding him that will make the plays in the early to mid game to get an advantage and then funnel the farm into Rekkles so he can carry in the late game.

But now, you have passive mid laner, a jungler who has no idea what to do, a top laner who gets banned out every game, and a passive support. Put that all together and you get teams like KABUM who beat them early on l0l and there's no rebuttal. Teams like SK will lane swap, take a tower, laneswap back with BF vs Pickaxe and then shove your shit in and take more towers. While Rekkles is still farming, SK will be pounding on the mid turret up 2 towers and a dragon at around 10 minutes, and then continue to snowball the lead until Rekkles is finally able to "fight" with his 2 items at like 20-25 minutes. By then, SK will be up numerous towers and someone will jump Rekkles and he'll just run away from the fight while his team is trying to deal damage, but has no AD carry.
