You must have missed the memo, on LR a player is only as good as his last game

The switch away from the assassin meta seems to have completely shut him down, when you think of his great play in S3 it was Zed/Kass/Fizz/Ahri, now they're not as strong and he hasn't adapted to the new picks.

Nothing changed, fnatic are still good players but they still didn't find their champions/playstyle this season. They keep picking random crap and losing, they could just play standard and do a lot better but it looks like soaz and xpeke are just bored.
I'm not sure they will have the willpower to start again as if they were a new team but that is what they should do right now.

I'm not entirely sure if the caster meta really crippled him, I mean he's a long time player he's been in the non-assassin meta where he mostly performed fine. Idk what exactly happened to xpeke so I just go with whit3zz broke him.
Nukeduck is more of a player that suffered from meta shifts, with less fizz/ahri/zeds he looks measurably weaker than before.

There's also the fact that Xpeke played Kassadin who was ridiculous broken and had the free escapes. He also got MANHANDLED against Cornsalad way back as well.
On a somewhat related note, I'm also amused because my wife always thought xPeke looked like the average Spanish hick so she never liked him much. (She's from Spain herself)

True, and Whit3zz did seem to destroy something in Peke, but it's just none of his games with the casters have been good (I remember a game against Gambit at IEM Cologne when he had a massively farmed Ziggs, but just did nothing but farm more), also back in S3 I remember being underwhelmed when he'd play Ori.
The one thing I'd really like to see Fnatic change though is to give Rekkles a late game carry, so many Lucian picks that just do nothing, at least give him something that can actually carry a game.

I get the impression that pros have figured out something about jinx that makes her a massive risk to pick (Probably the lack of escapes that is often mentioned) so lucian/caitlyn are really about as carry as he seems to be allowed to do. Maybe rekkles should take a page out of candypanda's book and go "fuck it I wanna play vayne"

The way they've played the last 7 games it's looking more like 7:21 tbh, it's still Fnatic so I can see them turning it around but they've just looked awful the last few games (worse than their last bad streak where they booted nRated).

Vayne pick herself can be extremely problematic as well.

There's no way Vayne could've done anything there for fnatic. Fnatic never took a fight where Vayne would've been able to just do her work.

Nah, it's Fnatic.
I'm fan of CLG for 3,5 years, 7 games mean nothing :D
Believe me.

I don't mean vayne that match, I mean it doesn't matter what rekkles picks or how he plays as the problem is his solos getting shit on and being useless but idk it feels more suited to their strengths that they have to give rekkles harder carries than lucian.
But really rekkles feeling a bit constrained on more mid-game oriented carries is the least of their problems when soaz/xpeke are looking dazed and confused.

Why do people still think Rekkles is the best, we need more games were Candy, Creaton and Rallez carry I suppose.

The problem is ADC's in such a shit spot. Can't do anything when your midlaner dies like 5 times in lane, and the enemy midlaner is fed. No ADC pick from Rekkles will change this fact.
