That's the inherent weakness with Lillia, without a lead or a lane dominant CCer she can't really function on a strong side or punish a weak Lane. | ||

A: After seeing how good TL played and that PSG was only second PCS seed, I think the group is tougher for G2 than anticipated. But I don't see G2 and Suning failing to make it out, TL's safe playstyle isn't going to be enough. B: Hopefully RGE shows up and brings back some EU honor, but I don't see them getting out of groups, just hoping for closish games. C: Should be hardest group, but only if LGD turns up. Who knows... D: I wouldn't be surprised if UoL manage to take a game off coin flip DRX, but this group is pretty set in stone as well. | ||

G2 5-1 TL 4-2 Suning 3-3 Machi 0-6 or vice versa with Suning being the 5-1 and G2 being the 3-3 but even that seems like a big stretch for TL, save for a Suning collapse. | ||

Ornn is busted AF. Orianna is up there, but I think that also has to do with the high prevalence of setup champs. Ali in 3rd for biggest pick. Kindred or Graves also open up flexing things bot. Kassadin is also quietly insane. Just about autowin in the hands of pretty much any of the mid laners the moment he ticks over to 16 as long as his team isn't like 20k down. I don't think many of the common worlds mid picks atm can bully him hard enough, and he wins a passive lane. Pure tanks (aside from Ornn, he's a fightermagepaladinassassinrogue as well) don't seem to be that good in top lane. Fighters just get you too much of a pressure advantage. Lillia I think is the biggest loser. Her setup for a fight is just too slow and inconsistent for the meta at the moment. The meta has been a lot heavier on engage rather than the slower fights Lillia likes. Fair number of examples where Lillia is fed, but still can't win fights because the other champs get blown up before Lillia can get her damage in. | ||

I've been pretty surprised with the Alistar picks, I can't remember him getting picked much in any of the major region playoffs and I don't think he has any recent buffs. At first I thought maybe it was just a comfort pick for some of the wildcard supports that I was not familiar with but so far it seems pretty decent. Overall I think its been a very fun meta to watch so far and I'm excited for what groups will bring. I'm still not sure on Lillia, I think that that she can still be super strong for some of the better teams, and it seemed as play ins went on she started seeing more success | ||

Fair number of examples where Lillia is fed, but still can't win fights because the other champs get blown up before Lillia can get her damage in. I think you should take the play ins with a grain of salt, these are pros but not the best by a long shot. Scaling comps are usually a lot more effective at that level because teams can't close games fast or clean enough. Kass is strong, but I don't think a team like TES or DWG will let him farm up until level 16, they either camp him or get a giant lead everywhere else on the map. There will be much better team fighting as well. Orrn is very strong, agreed. He's almost impossible to push out of lane, has unusual kill pressure, and is an S tier team fighter. Why pick any other tank when Orrn scales better, is a better laner and has better CC. Imo Lillia is going to be busted starting in Groups. She zooms around the map applying pressure, and when ahead her kiting power makes her unkillable. | ||

G2 is not looking as consistent as year ago. TL on good day have a shot at upset. I'm not going to discard Republic of China first seed and LPL #3 is neither pushover nor a behemoth. | ||

However, I did a booboo and forgot to send admins the suning logo so I can't add the Suning games (yet...) Hoping to get it sorted in time. Will put up the "week 2" liquibets after DAY 2 | ||
