They can't play the current riot-approved meta since the version of LoL they play is several months of patches behind. This IEM also involved a pair of teams that aren't top4 in China.

I thought your higherups told you to stop posting this crap?

"Riot-approved meta" aside, both things he said are true.


Royal, EP HK, PE, iG are not above WE.


Cheep vs Yango China-knowledge battle oh yes pls


It's not a "battle" I don't think Yango would disagree with anything I'm saying here. I think you can make an argument that WE is a class below the top 3 in China, but it's pretty hard to argue that they're worse than any of the people below them.

WE looked a lot better in pre-LPL and the early games but they've looked worse as their weak jungle and support got exposed. I had previously said WE is top 4 and the top 4 are all close to each other in level, but it seems like OMG is clearly above the others and WE is lower than the others.

It's funny how Koreans are the best at LoL and SC2 but not Dota2

Koreans weren't the best at League for a while too. Then they got their own server and seriously gave a shit. Korean Dota tournaments just started recently, but I expect it to lag behind because of how popular league is.

If you think about the context of those games have in KR it's actually not surprising at all.

I was told that LR threads have significantly higher tolerances for shitposting, and nothing I've posted even falls into that category to begin with

except the same old repeated song from you with riot approved meta.


whats riot approved meta?

doesnt exist except in the mind of obnoxious troll who thinks he can come in here and post his shit. After he got told numerous times to stop it.

since you and him are buddies why dont you ask him via pm

dota is a experience and knowledge game. with the big cc skills, it's also heavy on team tactics. you need a long time of accumulation to get good at it.

Why the fuck does that bother you, its just Kupon being Kupon.

He's making a legitimate point, does the language he uses bother you so much that you have to call him out?

Hey in LoL is there a team / country that dominates like in starcraft? Are the results consistents ? I remember an interview of a pro LoL player who said it took 3 months to reach the skill cap, is it true? Thanks



please respond

Yes Korea. It's just like Starcraft, even the same teams that are good mostly.

That's mainly just because the teams which had the best sc players had the money to buy the best LoL teams, so it's not really surprising.

Hoping Fnatic managed to surprise this game just so we dont get a full 3-0 flowout
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

And then a second "postgame lobby" thread where we can flame each other with impunity, and bitch about how the tribunal is useless.

I think it's a miscommunication issue. People defending him think he means relevant strong champions due to the state of the game, people against him think it's the dumb reddit hate for the top/jungle/mid/ad/support setup.

These changes are for Summoner’s Rift only
With these changes, we want to tackle the 2v1 lane swaps that many competitive teams have adopted in order to shut down enemy laners while also taking quick objectives. Initiating a 2v1 lane swap to shut down an opponent should have inherent risks, like leaving your bottom tower vulnerable to early pushes.

Turrets
Outer turrets no longer gain bonus armor and magic resist for the first eight minutes of the game.
Top and middle lane outer turrets now have 20 damage reduction from champion basic attacks.


Can you read things like this and believe that there isn't some sort of Riot-approved meta somewhere? Anyways Chexx, feel free to PM me or add me on skype to talk this out if you fully believe otherwise
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons
