At least could hit same which Xpecial hit in mid against EG, getting Pete and Snoopeh stunned and instagibbed. Instead of it, he whiffed 3-4 probably. | ||

If Crumbz had landed his cocoon, or if Scarra played something with CC, the leona ulti becomes a lot easier to hit. EDIT: watching tsm vs c9. not understanding the adc pick with nunu. I see why they chose nunu, cuz they want more map control without sacrificing objective control (early sightstone, but has such strong jungling ability (the q)). Lucian doesn't need that much AS, dunno why they don't run this with more AS based ADC, especially since they tried to force the 2v1 early game, they could have gotten away with something like Kogmaw or Vayne. | ||

Crumbzz played bad, noone's denying it. And i disagree about Leona being follow up, usually you start with it. But Liftlift with cleanse, Nidalee, Kha'Zix and Zac aren't best targets to catch instantly. | ||

I mean, what else can oddone play? jarvan maybe? maybe TSM overates lucian a bot (so does the entire NA region) so it looks like they want to pick it whenever they get the chance, lucian lost all matches today tho right? | ||

I think TOO has more flexible jungle choices, I think the nunu choice is a team choice. They want the early vision without losing jungle pressure, so that's hwy there's that early sighstone, however C9's teemo choice was far superior for early vision. The ADC pick was a huge mistake imo, especially if you going for high utility jungler that gives so much free AS.

This idea is basically the "anti-throw" idea (so perhaps if XD.GG used Teemo they could use it). But, since Teemo teams are probably the most likely of teams to get aced, why not just make pushing nearly impossible if you are 10k gold ahead? | ||

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to put down some shrooms in your lanes right behind turrets if you are as ahead as they were vs. TSM in game 1. This idea is basically the "anti-throw" idea (so perhaps if XD.GG used Teemo they could use it). But, since Teemo teams are probably the most likely of teams to get aced, why not just make pushing nearly impossible if you are 10k gold ahead? pointless imo, if you have crisp rotation, you shouldn't need that. And c9's rotations are usually pretty fucking crisp. also, if your constantly tossing out shrooms, any lane shrooms would mean less map pressure. | ||

Perhaps a less smart team. One that is likely to have your ADC (or jungler) get caught out randomly. EH? | ||

All ADCs scale off of AS? Like literally the only difference between him and another ADC is that he has an extra ability which scales off of AS? You're always bloodboiling the ADC anyway so like just having extra synergy is bad? I honestly don't understand what you're saying. | ||

You're always bloodboiling the ADC anyway so like just having extra synergy is bad? I honestly don't understand what you're saying. I'm saying, he doesn't make full use of the AS boost, the same reason why Lucian doesn't build AS outside of Triforce. Majority of his combat time is spent using ability, and interweaving already 100% boosted AS due to passive, that means he's only using the AS boost off of A) his ulti, or B) the 2 seconds he has when all his abilities are on Cd, after going through full rotation. As opposed onto something like Kogmaw, who is just auto attack for days using full AS boost while in combat. that's not to say thats why TSM lost though. need strong initiate to deal with something like teemo. Nasus/nunu, not good initiate. EDIT: holy shit, dis zuna jungle so fucking scary, like wtf, such solid play. after getting doublebuff he camps wraiths for snoopeh, very smart jungler move. | ||
