Because the amount of cc. If they pick sivir + ghost he will have the mobility he wants so there is no reason to pick ez/corki/jayce

China evolved from this bullshit, it's EU who tries their best to degrade into S3 LPL.

As entertaining as these teamfights are, the game definitely didn't feel refined. Same with the series yesterday between H2K and SK (and TL's play in general, they rarely feel clinical, it's more about outplaying from their carries).
Considering that it's supposed to be the highest level of play in EU, it gives credence to NA having passed EU, at least for the top teams. Either Fnatic or UoL could win these games by scrapping by better than their opponents, but against a more refined team (who prepared enough not to be caught off-guard by the fact the games are chaotic), assuming close individual skill levels, I'd expect them to fold up and die.

It has an aoe CC ult. You're trading mobility for far better teamfight potential


thing is he pretty much missed all his ultis lol and when they did hit it was like 1 man ultis

mobility is always better anyways than a skillshot cc

they won despite the varus pick not because of it

He hit enough, burned Flashes a few times. Also idk how you can claim this so definitively lol.

One thing I noticed is that Varus can peel for himself since he has a good ult and a decent AOE persistent slow. He brings more utility and synergy to the team than a kog can.

I still think kog mid is better due to damage diversification, but since fnatic's comp was fairly squishy, varus worked perfectly.

mobility is the most useful skillset to have in league
just look at the amount of old champs that are unviable/not played because of lack of mobility

Like orianna, and vlad?

How can he repeat it when he's too busy investing in every salt mine within a 10 kilometer radius


PEE OH EE

I'm not going to complain about either Fnatic losing, or UoL winning. But frankly it was less UoL climbing from a deficit than Fnatic playing retarded in turn and throwing.

Braum is so good with double adc.

Braum's good vs Vlad in general too, it's hard for him to walk in Q range of the carries if Braum is there, and E blocks all of Vlad's (I dunno if it means Braum dies super fast from tanking 3-4 Es every time Vlad casts, though, gotta check).
Damage reduction also reduces how much Vlad sustains in turn.

Plus Fnatic had a low-range team in general, which plays into Braum's passive and ult.

Varus also has % health damage, although it's kinda counter intuitive to the way his skills work to maximise it, it is not uncommon to get a 15% max hp killing blow or parting shot.
