I will say this about LMQ, people overstate that ackerman made the world finals, he's not some kind of god tier top laner I don't think he's actually that much better than dyrus/balls but like the rest of royal he had a freak overperformance at worlds, he's a mediocre Chinese top which is probabaly good for NA. I still believe LMQ will make LCS and do well but ackerman is already being overrated from what I've read

LMQ is not top 3 LCS material. People are overestimating them just because they dumpster challenger teams.
The discrepancy between challenger and LCS teams is pretty huge. Just look at how hard Coast romped on teams during the off season and how they're doing now.

LMQ getting new roster if they get into LCS tho.

are people actually hyping him? From what I've heard, it's their botlane that's insanely godly.

I see lots of "They have the world finalist top laner he's gonna dominate" which is really overstated, their bot lane definitely lives up to their hype though.

He's on a shortlist of good toplaners in NA though; so it's not too far from truth.

Uzi mid didn't seem really good, if he was ADC again it'd be great but since he can't play without tabe it's pretty meh. I really don't think uzi will actually be an improvement that much over xaiowexaio if they really bring him over.
Maybe he'll do better on a different team from zombie royal idk.

You're crazy. LMQ look amazing no matter where I see them. There's going against hype, and then there's just plain ignoring evidence.

Your evidence involves the use of the NA challenger scene. I hope you realize this is the same scene that gets dumpstered by coast.

Yeah I don't think anyone can jump the gun and call it "evidence" of how good they are. They do seem to be doing better than Coast and I would guess they could beat Coast pretty easily in a bo5, but at the same time I don't think it makes sense to call them beating challenger teams "evidence".

Idk, third place is CLG and Dig sooooo...

Jokes aside, you are right, it's incredibly hard to judge when there aren't any head to head results. There were those Ranked 5s games they played against TSM and they won one and lost two but that's much different than a real competitive environment. They are at least better than Quantic...

so panth is perma banned in tournaments didnt think he is that strong :o


well his kit is inherently strong. i played the highest elo of dominion for a long time now and the champions with inherently strong fighting kits (not counting the sololaners) always become strong on summoners rift after their farming/laning limitations get worked around.

the biggest offenders (nearly always picked or banned) last 18 months were: khazix, wukong, kassadin, rammus, leona, leblanc, fizz, lulu, pantheon, akali, katarina, amumu, vi, poppy, jayce

a lot of them have later got discovered on summoners rift and subsequently nerfed

i really like them late game but ur early game sucks so hard without ap, mid u probably can go with ms in every match up but top (where i mainly play) u want bully champions like jax or nasus and without extra ap its very hard to win trades

I am not convinced Pantheon is that strong. Like TF/Noc/etc. he is just annoying to play against due to his semi-global.

It's the same reason why teams banned TF for so much of S3.
Global means it's going to be strong with some comps. zzz


I actually feel TF was legit strong in S3.

The difference I feel about TF and Pantheon is that TF has a very smooth transition into the late game. TF scaled fairly well and his W provides a lot of CC for the team at a distance. TF is also AP so Zhonya's is available. Pantheon is melee yet he is sort of an assassin; he is a lot harder to itemize and his late game is a bit bland.

That's what I thought. He gave up so much pressure on Trundle by walking away to ward unnecessarily.
