The op bans Lulu GP and darius
Basically there are a couple of real strong FP choices on this patch:GP, Lulu, Darius and maybe Fiora
Onwards toPick ban Elise Fp ( Fnc prioritized Elise rather high during the Og series as well)
IG answers with tried and true Skarner thresh (Skarner is not necessarily an KAKAO champion) I would’ve liked to see him on nidalee more) however the meta favors carry top laners, implicit tank junglers.
FNC pick consists of shen and sivir (most likely shen support since huni is not the type of player for shen tank). Also a really good pick in the terms of top lane carries snowball potential.
IG – Riven and Ashe ( gives extremely good initiation along with skarner) as riven goes colossal snowball toplaner
FNC – Hecarim Azir ( Hecarim is a pick we don’t see too often nowadays and Azir is the monster he;s been since MSI)
Team comps FNC – Hecarim Elise Azir Sivir Shen
IG – Riven skarner Viktor Ashe Thresh
Post P&B :The game will be decided by whichever toplaner snowballs faster as they both being immensely snowball prone.
In game :
Lane swaps perspectives : FNC really wants to swap due to sivir/shen always lose the 2v2 to ashe thresh.(double ranged).
Main objective in lane swap is getting your toplaner ahead.
Invictus makes a crucial mistake trying to squeeze in riven in bot tower.The correct move for IG would;ve been to fast push the top lane tower or at least to chip at it.This leads to an completely unanswered tower which begins the snowball for FNC.
Changes: I feel Nidalee would’ve been much better for IG,although if nidalee is in team you need a tanky toplaner which Zzitai is reluctant to play.
Overall a good draft for Fnatic.I really love the Shen support pick in these who has the better toplaner meta.
