EPTI've only gotten an understanding of the champ by watching Rekkles play him on KR soloQ, think Riot did a poor job implementing him into the game: he's a kill lane which will absolutely brutally murder if ahead, or he just sits and farms when behind. But most of the time he's doing everything with his support to try and net a kill, one slip up and Morde kills you.

both those champs get deleted by something like rengar or talon, but if your team is playing a "competitive" team like maokai top and reksai jungle and orianna mid or something then all of a sudden those 2 champs with crazy mobility and zone control become nightmares to play against when you can't actually get to them and they are supported properly by their team. this also holds true the other way and why vayne is really strong in solo q. has a lot of self peel and can 1v1 pretty much anything if played properly so she doesnt need team support at all. but in competitive she hasn't done that well since there's no need for a short ranged adc. with proper positioning and support you want as much range/damage as you can get. I think that's why asian teams are particularly fond of twitch who has insane damage and range when protected and assassins dont exist | ||

I don't think they should have region locked at all, lol. I just don't think you can be the NA hope when you don't have many NA players and especially when you didn't win against a team that did. | ||

Most of the time they didn't. Their winrates weren't astronomic either, so it's never really felt like they were too OP in solo q. Overall, I just don't like the idea of Mord being a substitute ADC, I can live with it though. In soloqueue maybe? But in pro play? Kalista had a 63% win rate last season and a 90% pick+Ban rate. Easily the most dominant champion of the last split. To the point where we were talking about entire teams having massive structural problems because their AD didn't play Kalista (which meant they were playing with 2 bans on blue side instead of 3) The truth is that since last season Riot cannot balance for soloqueue alone anymore. And they are probably showing that they can't balance for professional games either, but that seems to be a competency or integrity issue | ||

Are you seriously going to the literally fluff piece paragon that is lolesports and expecting frank discussion of the competitive scene? I'm sorry bro, but you went to the wrong place. That's like going to a League tournament and complaining there isn't enough DOTA being played. | ||

There's literally 0 reason to make that statement unless you sit in on both CLG and TSM's scrims and see for yourself that TSM performs better against the competition. | ||

And when they need to nerf them for pro play, it just generates a shitstorm in soloQ because Rengar, Kassadin, Gnar, Azir, Kalista, RekSai, or whoever, ends up at 40% winrate in order to not be insane for the pros. | ||

Absolutely. Additionally they keep designing champions that offen aren't fun to play against. | ||
