Rivington says that C9 wouldn't have taken Kog'Maw away from TL at the 2nd phase of the draft, I feel like that C9 would have, they had taken Hecarim, Sejuani and Nautilus at that point, C9 could've taken Kog'Maw and stuck Hai on an AP mage mid (like Orianna) for a Protect the Kog composition. And if C9 had done that, what would TL have taken for the carry role? Twitch or Jinx would've gotten blown up the moment C9 reached the back lane no matter what protection and shields you have for the ADC.

It's a good first step, but C9 still has a ways to go.

they coulda mabye still won, but not getting the swap on top of the sion pick really fucked them.

giving away the corki pick is being overplayed imo, almost any damage mid would have worked.


Taking the Corki pick takes it away from Hai so it's a double win. I think Ezrael would've been ok as well but I don't know the corki vs Ezrael midlane but I'm guessing Fenix didn't like it cause there was definitely some confusion at the last Sion pick.

Honestly if I were TL and they left Lulu open I'd just go Juggermaw again, force them to keep beating it

they could have last picked Karthus, and been advantaged, the corki pick is way overrated here

yep they ran Vayne in a similar comp against Coast iirc, Trist isn't very good right now it could also work, jinx and twitch would be last resort type picks

The biggest thing I think is they needed the 2v1 lanes.

Sion would beat Hec in farm in 1v2 lanes easily. Kog would not be 60+ creeps behind. Instead of losing 2 lanes and going even in one, they would have won 2 lanes and barely lost mid. They would have easily won i think.

No. Like I said, the Ezrael/Corki mid is almost always picked in the best Juggermaw comps because it gives poke & mid game wave clear without exposing yourself in a fight. Karthus is a lot more dangerous and needs you to start putting shields/buffs on him which you never want to do on juggermaw.

you wouldn't, i think karthus would be an ok pick but as said above you really want something with poke/high mobility ie nidalee/ez/corki etc.

idk in that scenario she has decent self peel, dat range, and they keep buffing her q/e interaction cooldowns. It's not theb est but honestly would probably be alright

Tristana is way better than Vayne, lomo.
But Piglet is mediocre on it.

TL just need to stick to their guns, find proper midlane early, probably even steal Corgi and be fine.

yes
they could have done pb better but the non 2v1 hurt them far more than the sion pick

I feel like they brought Zion just to take subtle jabs at him. Please Zion tell us about coming back from down 0-2

Trist isn't the hyper carry she used to be since her rework. She has a stronger mid game due to her E helping her chunk through turrets, but with her AA range nerf on the passive she isn't the late game threat she used to be.

Vayne wouldn't work either, her AA range is too short. I think the only hyper carry that's worth building around besides Kog'Maw is Jinx, and it's only as a last resort.

Because if Karthus gets poked down before a fight, you auto lose against C9's comp.

Trist is SO bad in these comps because she can literally do nothing without 5 items. At least kogmaw is still strong at 2-3 items.

I agree Trist isn't as good but against that C9 comp she'd have done fine.

Like I said vayne is super shitty with it but TL ran juggervayne so I'm just saying it was an option they coulda looked at

by the way, I'm not saying it's all p/b. TL definitely could've won this game. There was a bunch of opportunities but given the pressure, I can understand TL misplaying some of the moments.
