Fiora will eventually destroy Renekton. She's one of those champions where killing her once or twice will shut her down if she still gets to farm, on a champion that doesn't scale anywhere near as hard you need to completely hammer her down into the ground early.

I think it's partially your build order too. You gain a ton of health from your ultimate turning cloth armor into either Chain vest or Warden's mail would have been extremely cost efficient. Cleaver's armor shred isn't that strong vs champions that dont/havent build armor, so it's perfectly alright to delay it in such cases.

most challenger fioras I see win that matchup almost everytime when its standard. You need to build like romanium and take ignite.

All you need to do is riposte one stun post 6 and the lane is over in a standard tp vs tp renek building cleaver lane. Then it snowballs really hard and you need to bring 2 to stop fiora.

Personally my favorite pick into fiora is malphite, there is zero skill expression you just win the lane after sunfire/tabis as long as you know to do absolutely nothing before that and sit at tower.

Its a long time before fiora regains the upper hand so you have a huge window

if you are skeptical of wutt tank vs fiora!?!??

2nd worst matchup, has been for many patches.

If you want the easy dumpster lane its pantheon, but way more susceptible to jungler making that a nightmare fast

When jungling on toplaning against fiora or botrk abusers, should I get an early executioner's calling on champions who usually build 1 or 2 ad items into tank (e.g. Renekton, Darius, sometimes Olaf)?

So now that the first weekend with it is passed, what did people think of the ARSR all random summoners rift game mode?

For myself, I wasn't a huge fan. The gameplay was basically the same as ordinary LOL. In general between trades rerollls and dodges you didn't get non standard team structures, just lower power champs. So we don't get duo bruiser bot lanes, we get botlanes with kindred malphite instead of Ashe Nami.

I did get some games with a duo top and no jungle, but that was pretty rare. Usually both teams had someone who could jungle well enouph with a decent leash on first buff. Overall gameplay was much the same.

Skill expression felt lower. The kindred malphite lane just doesn't actually beat the Sivir Morgana lane. The 'will it jungle' trynd doesn't put out the same pressure as lee sin. To a large extent the better champions won. I'm happy to trade skill expression for variety of gameplay (ARAM) but when it doesn't get me varied gameplay I'm giving up control for no gain.

Longer queue times. Listed queue times were shorter, but I usually saw 2-3 games dodged for each one that fired so I'd say it took longer to get into game.

Overall I'd call it a miss. What did you guys think?

It's a failure because most people have the basics of summoners rift engraved in their minds. My friend who recently hit level 30 likes it but I just can't enjoy it. It's like a worse blind pick and I hate blind picks already.

I don't think you can fix that by messing with the gold distrubution mechanics or exp rates. If the mode is on summoners rift it has to be extremely altered like blood moon, black market brawlers or nexus siege modes.

Blood Moon mode was extremely fun. Having a mode where you could only select from a pool of champ types (ie: tanks only, adc only) would be very fun.

well thats unfortunate. I didn't know it was that bad lol. thought 1k gold would be enough especially when she misplays

isn't cleaver like almost broken though? if I went chainvest I would've just sat on kindlegem phage which kinda feels bad.. the insta armor shred (empowered w) was too tempting too

also she didnt have cleaver completed and she had no armor compared to me having like 50+armor on her already so thought that'd be better

damn looks like I dont want to play this matchup then. hate going no tp.
yeah I normally dont pick renek into fiora, it was a blind pick anyways and I just wanted to get some games on renekton vs anyone.
vs fiora i've generally done something like poppy, trundle, darius
which aren't amazing matchups but pretty playable and generally win early and still easily be useful later

yeah malphites a pretty good matchup, it only gets bad after like 3 items iirc if things are even
laning is easy peasy.

I liked ARSR only because I saw a larger variety of champs and was introduced to some champions I've never picked outside of ARAM, but got them in an SR setting. Nothing I couldn't do on my own, but something I haven't and probably wasn't going to do if it wasn't done for me like in ARSR.

After trades and re-rolls, the mode felt just like an even more casual blind, with more off-meta, but still workable, lanes.

What's our convention on how long after an unexpected pick we need to wait until we can talk about it without spoilers?

Did yasou somehow become kind of strangely stronger the last couple of weeks or its just me? From one of the easiest to deal with champs for me, he became a nightmare. I am losing to yasous even in my gold smurf account, while being d5 on main. Maybe its something in my head, I don;t know really.

Alright. So how out that blitzcrank in the MVP vs KT game 2?

That champ did a ton of work. It was pretty much was the source of their early lead, probably made most of their picks, won all the fights they won, and usually led to a kill or two in the fights they lost making the lost fight less bad. Probably one of the higher impact non zyra support picks I've seen in a while.

well despite the nerfs he still sports a 53% with a pretty high pickrate, despite having a kit that does benefit in your adc in any way, and often being picked by autofilled supports. Pretty impressive really.

He does change the way the entire game is played, similar to eve. but blitz does not fall off like eve does, rather he gets pretty strong mid/late once he gets some bulk to him as hes pretty tanky and disruptive.

very surprised he would work in a pro game though, Seems like something thats way easier to deal with in a coordinated team with low ping.

I disagree​. IMO the way you " deal" with blitz is by always be winning the game (because he is a terrible laner). The whole game is just a version of the lane where you always push push push minions so you have a buffer, and you do that with minions and wards late game.

Blitz is amazing into autofilled bot laners, much easier to punish them on blitz than on something like nami or thresh. This can inflate his winrate a bit.

Depends on what you mean by inflated. His solo queue winrate is not inflated, it just reflects the fact that solo queue bot lanes often suck. But they DO suck, and a champ that is good at punishing mistakes is one of the main ways a champ is just straight-up good.

If anything his solo queue winrate is deflated, because like VA says he's the go-to pick for most autofilled supports.

Agree with the first paragraph but would argue Thresh replaced him as the go to support for autofilled players.

Yeah, but beating up on bad lanes can't be all of it. MVP picked him into KT. KT not lane is not autofilled; it's at least one of the best, some would say the best, bot lane in the world. And blitz did good work in the match up.
