They made it a series at least. Better luck next split.

Well he was pretty unlucky last split. Quite likely he would have made it in without the ddos.


Also he's always been good. Just his stubbornness grinds on teammates and causes losses when the meta isn't in his wheelhouse.


I think his stubbornness grinds more than just teammates. He's basically the Cris of EU currently but at least was relevant back in the day.

Theory on the TSM subreddit is that it's KC.

He also retweeted it at one point.

Denying it is hardly proof, since most leaks are responded to with deny, deny, deny, deny, confirm.

I don't even remember a recent leak where someone didn't deny it on twitter before it happened. But god forbid a leak doesn't end up being true then the journalist gets called a liar.

Well he outright said he was basically trolling by retweeting like hermit for tsm (i dont even remember this but its what kc said)

Odd way to deny it if they wanted it to keep it on the lowdown tho. Just dont retweet/deny


But the pic really does seem like itd be him lol.

Right. Also, you know, almost all the journalists with connections that weren't captured by Riot/the teams have been forced out of the scene by Reddit/Riot.

after the article on shaq/arod/jrollins investing in NRG, that guy is probably shaq

"So they all want to meet them and they love the idea of just messing around with Shaq.”

so they probably already met and that picture is from then.
that figure is actually way taller. that is more than a foot difference lol.

ofc just a guess, but makes more sense.

Lane swaps might not be killing the game, and yes they open up new team comps/playstyles, I agree.

But 15 minutes of no action and just trading towers sure is killing entertainment value.

That has a lot to do with teams being bad at laneswapping, and not knowing how to play aggressive around their strong side when they lane swap.

If you watch proper laneswap games, aggressive teams will know how to push their strong side advantage and try and accelerate the game. Problem is a lot of bad teams don't know how to play laneswap, so they play laneswap passively, hoping to come out even.

Eh. IMO they reduce the # of available teamcomps, not expand it. Toplaners and junglers in particular are very cramped in the laneswap eras.

Even Rox tigers play a fairly boring laneswap when they do get into one, they just make the rest of the game interesting.

I'd like to see them make botlane objectives like dragon really easy to take in a 3v2 for major rewards (for example, flat teamwide EXP, which obviously makes it so much stronger to get dragons early) and make towers smarter.

Well currently(not gonna duplicate picks so we can get a unique count for meta champs)

top: Fiora, GP, graves, Quinn, Poppy, Nautilus, Lissandra, Lulu, Rammus, Maokai, Ekko, trundle (malphite)

Jungle: Elise, Lee, Kindred, Gragas, nidalee, Reksai, rumble(?)

There's a bit of overlap between jungle/top but definitely plenty of viable picks available.

Expanding to the rest of the roles:

Mid: Ahri, Azir, Corki, Ez, LB, Lux, TF, Varus, Zed, Zilean, Viktor

ADC: Ashe, Cait, Jhin, Kalista, Kog, Lucian, sivir, trist, vayne (jinx, Draven from time to time)

Support :Ali, Bard, braum, Thresh, Soraka

4X meta picks atm, and you can make an argument for probably about 10 more.

If there was no laneswapping then other champs would stop being played because of how bad they are at laning.

Which ones, specifically?

Also, are you saying it's ok to promote a meta where the "not strong at laning but good at lane swap" champs are highlighted but the "good at laning but bad at lane swap" champs are neglected?

Pls back when laneswaps weren't a thing people just whined that people just afk farmed for 15 minutes. Like it was any different.

The issue comes from blind picking champs rather than the champs being too weak.

There aren't really any champs that are strong at laneswaps but bad at laning. There are only champs that are bad to blind pick.
