[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 125

At any point of IEM Kiev, if you think of an interesting byline, please drop a sentence in the Pro Scene thread. (e.g. "Day 2: M5 hype was everything people expected")

At the end of the month, I'll catalogue the results of Kiev but also any interesting facts or events that happen over the course of the tournament.

Thanks.

I was thinking Reginald might play AP Soraka - you see her around occasionally and she's pretty damn strong, but nobody even attempts to play her.

Helps survive the Veigar burst, but when the game is over in 10 minutes, build whatever you want really.

Base damage on cass is really good, being that tanky lets you be aggressive/chase/set up ults.

Also veigar cries since he can't 1shot you :D

What's not to understand? Cass has one of the highest DPS of the AP. DoTs + Twin Fang that continues do pewpew if target is poisoned. Whole point is to outlast in team fights and outattrition the enemy AP with her impressive DPS kit.

Regi went over this somewhere a while ago

basically it's because of her E mechanic and the base values. Rank 5 E has 200 base dmg (+.55 ap), so you have massive sustain damage no matter what you build. So he built tanky, more meat before the AD carry. You end up with an AP bruiser who has a game changing ult and REALLY high sustained deeps, add in spellvamp and as long as she isn't hard CCed, she simply won't die.

And ofc vs veigar, the less AP you have, the worse his ult vs you will be.

IEM Gamescom Cologne with the insane back and forth between TSM and CLG was pretty intense. But this M5-TSM (most likely) final are going to be pretty scary if both teams bring their A-game (or even S-Class game!). TSM just needs to not capitulate like in scrims.


TSM and M5 are really proving their doubters wrong.

M5, coming into their very first offline event with the strongest showing of any first time team.

TSM, proving that scrims are simply for practice.

It's pretty appropriate that one of M5's members on EUW is "Path of Bonjwa"

Veigar is not an issue. scarra could have picked Kat and Regi would have still build a Mog's in there.

they think cass has enough dmg and needs to survive longer for her sustained damage to be even higher.

Don't forget Talon. No idea why he's not played mid when he beats up most traditional mid-laners.


He's not ap and talon mid was back when talon was good he got nerfed pretty hard. People can just build armour now.

To be fair, it was only a base mp5 nerf and a "you actually have to chose when to w now" nerf. Not a damage nerf.

He's not ap and talon mid was back when talon was good he got nerfed pretty hard. People can just build armour now.


His damage is exactly the same as it used to be. He just has higher mana cost, increased CD on his ult, and reduced Health/mana regen. If they can build armor now then they could've just built armor before. I'm pretty sure he'd still stomp a lot of APs you'd just have to manage mana well.

And having Sona go into jungle with Shyv would make sense as to why it's so dominate but even with a support helping in jungle I dunno if other junglers could clear quick enough for it to be worth it.

edit:
I dunno if it can count, because it was during LoL's super infancy, but CLG won like every single thing ever for the first year. So maybe bonjwa team lololol. But in all seriousness, I still remember after AD/support bottom meta started and TSM won for the first time ever against CLG. It was a pretty huge deal for CLG to drop a single game to an NA team.

Cass E has no cooldown in teamfights so more hp = more damage rather than needing to stack AP and simply run away until your cooldowns come back like most AP carries. Combine that with the constant spell vamp from gunblade/wota and you become immortal.

Is there seriously a long wait between games? It's 5:00am here and I already decided fuck it, I'm watching this no matter what but if I have another 4 hours of no sleep ahead of me...
