If you pick elise vs him, he cant do anything Mostly, the Renekton last pick just didn't tie the team together. While I understand why they picked him up (frontline+moar shred+zomg where is all this AoE damage coming from), versus the team CoL had put together he was going to have a difficult time initiating and then sticking. If he had, say, picked up a J4 top (no idea if he plays him there yet), it would've likely accomplished the same general principle but with more engage+control, which was what Dig really didn't have that game. Just gotta wait for Kiwi to develop further I guess, but he's still been doing a fantastic job top regardless. As a fan of Dig and Laut/CoL, really I just feel like CoL spent the past two weeks preparing non-stop for this, and are just starting to reach their potential (maybe). EDIT: wait, Dig banned out Jarvan. Thems the breaks I guess, but respect ban vs Laut, mmm. Really, I can't think of another strong initiating top laner that they could've used that game as a last pick. Switch Xin to top and pick up Amumu maybe, but you sacrifice all early game presence and basically take away the lynchpin of Dig's early game strats (Crumbzz presence). I just feel CoL outpicked Dig in team select, basically. Predicted the Kayle+Draven and counterpicked it well. | ||

Hes just used to splitpushing and this game didnt ask for one, he seemed very out of place in this one just because that's what he's been doing doesn't mean it's all he can do, spectators come to conclusions too quickly. | ||

He didn't say that. :p He's just saying that splitpushing isn't all he's good at. The issue is that the Renekton pick up vs. CoL's team comp wasn't ideal at all, given they could slow+stun then disengage while poking him. If they had a top (or other roles, really) with higher, and harder controls+initiate, they could've swung teamfights around. As is, Renekton, while a great pickup for their team-comp otherwise, couldn't make his presence known since Elise+Kha can jump away, Cho is tanky, and Sona+Varus were well positioned (during the pushes, anyways) and their team disengages really well. The slows keep Dig's back line out of the fight while Renek gets burned down and the rest of CoL disengages from Xin's initiate. EDIT: Also, it's rather amusing because I'm fairly certain Brunch U wiffed at least three ultis in the numerous teamfight/skirmishes, and threaded the eye of the needle, so to speak, so CoL should've been doing even better in the teamfights despite less/even gold. | ||

Oh you meant in the "taking her away from him" sense. I could agree with that more then, but he made plays on other champs too. | ||

You really can't? I would prefer to avoid having to "/sarcasm" my posts, that really ruins the joke. | ||

There weren't any actually good plays there. :/ Most of my thinking during that was "what on earth is happening" or "oh a team who was ahead just stomped" instead of "oh that was a nice play" like I could have said about something Doublelift did many many times in the past. What the HSGG jungle? Isn't chauster 10000x better at that? | ||
