Except it's no where near as exciting due to what lead up to it. A CLG win would be that ZionSpartan killed either TF or Shen(or both), then died. That way that 4v3 fight at baron started, and somehow CLG won that, and are heading to Coast base to win.

I'm sure Coast drafting was never this bad, can't help but feel Elementz becoming a coach and Coast decline in drafting might be connected I don't know why everyone is saying the drafting was bad from Coast. I think the comp showed a lot of promise; they just played it out really poorly. The comp on a different team would have been fine. It's just not what their strengths are so obviously they played it out poorly. There's no reason to pick a comp that is good if you don't have the ability to execute it Then don't blame the comp: blame execution.

In this game he just died wayyyy too much and needed zhonya, which he didn't even try to build. Also he didn't win his lane, elise is supposed to shit on shen...
To be fair, Shen was given the red over and over again while Vulcun was able to secure global objectives, giving him a bit of a gold advantage.
Plus, he just barely, and I mean barely, lost the all in Sid did early on.

There were a few picks that Coast made but at no point did I think "oh wow, Coast's comp ended up working for them"

I'm blaming them for picking a comp they know doesn't fit them? What exactly do you believe I'm talking about?

Yeah at first it didn't make sense to me, but then I saw the amount of disengage they had. I think someone just noted that a lot of the Coast disengages that happened that weren't good, were only bad by a pixel thin margin. If they played a hair better the game could have been a win actually.

So when is Coach Elementz getting benched?

Bottom line, it was a bad draft by Coast.

What exactly do you believe I'm talking about? I don't know about "didn't fit them". Most of it came down to Zionspartan not being able to hold a lane against Shen; and dying stupidly in teamfights, when he could have avoided a lot of damage with correct E timing. The only mistake was not engaging often enough in midgame.

I don't like the Ashe pick; It feels pretty cheezy to me imo. >.<

Thinking about it; toplane ryze would've been a better pick for zionspartan.

I like how Ashe has been quietly stable over the seasons. There's always that feeling that Ashe can fit.

Ashe cheesy? That's a first.
Coast comp hinged on the Elise. Zion can't Elise. Nothing more needs to be said.

I still recall Ashe being so popular early in S2 simply because of ECA. Ashe getting popular again and absolutely nothing's changed about her.
Good times.

I feel the nature of Ashe's ulti; is more of "are you dumb enough to get caught by this".

Good times. Everyone else getting nerfed; then Ashe pops up back in radar. Then ECA gets another nerf; and we stop seeing Ashe for a bit; until everyone else gets nerfed.

Good times. Well, the boost to attackspeed/lvl was nice.
