How long is a really really long time? Because she became strong once bt got nerfed.

Welp, Kiwikid just threw that teamfight for absolutely no good reason at all.


Well probably I am wrong but to me it feels like that Dignitas play worse with every game. Maybe they are not as used as they should for a best of 5.

Embarrassing games from both teams.

Can't they just eliminate both?

What? No, IE first screamed "any meh early game AD is strong now!", even Cait, 'cept since Tristana isn't weak in lane anymore (supports do a lot) and Kog has been good everytime 'cept at the one item timing when BT was king, they outscale Cait way too fast.
So it's always Kog and Tristana because IE first means range is king. But for some reason pos keep picking Corki and Lucian (even though it's been proven western teams have no fucking clue how to play out a midgame oriented comp, especially against one that ouscales them).

Tristana was definitely not "under the radar" in the sense that she was hidden OP. Riot had to slap several buffs onto her, PLUS the itemization changes to make her what she is today.

Kog'Maw is legit since they removed manacost on bio-arcane barrage.
And Tristana is legit since they added range onto explosive shot/buster shot, it just makes her top-3 early game solidly.
Corki is okay, i don't have problems with it, but those Lucians 0-2-1 50 minutes into a game just seem wrong to me.

Get freaking Jinx, if you want to stall those 50 minutes games, it's only lategame ad who can match Tristana except for Vayne, but Vayne is too risky against those heavy tankstacks by TSM.

But no, now Dignitas will get Ezreal and laneswap him.

Corki isn't even strong in lane pre-6 anymore since they changed Phosphorous Bomb's targeting mechanic and added a travel time. Heck, Kog's laning is probably stronger pre-6 and barely worse poke-wise post-6, and he's not even bad midgame while being top2 late game. There's no point in picking Corki when Kog or Trist are opened, and still we often see red side snatch Corki with one of their first 2 picks.

I could, maybe, get it if these teams were actually able to play out the midgame. But they aren't. It looks more like a generic placeholder pick than anything with an idea behind it, and it's not good late game. No idea why they do it.

Woah wtf. Tristana going unpicked? Wtf's happening? x_o

Also no frontline from Dig versus an AP Lulu-buffed Nunu. Syndra will just one-shot Olaf as soon as he presses R and Dignitas will crumble and fail to run away against Nami+Lulu.

Why TSM didn't pick Tristana again ? Olaf will be kited so hard ... You don't need Lucian to do it.

Yeah I feel TSM should have drafted the same team. Who knows what they are thinking...
