Lets see, Akali and myself were almost same level (maybe 1 level lower), my items were, Support item, dead mans plate, thornmail, everfrost, her items were embrace, riftmaker, mejail. I had around 2,9k HP, she had around 2,7k hp.

How with 4 items that gives more HP than hers, she is tankier and deals more damage?

The only way that Akali is really tanky is due to her base magic resistance, which is higher than average by 5 points. It's more that Galio is not very tanky for the class of champion he is; His base health is 62 higher and he gains 7 more hp per level. He also has 1 more armor point than normal. However, this is compared to Akali. Compared to a pure tank support, like Leona, his base armor is 23 points lower, and his MR growth is slightly lower.

Akali also built two of the highest health AP items in the game which do not bring any resistances. This means that while your health pools are similar, you have far more effective health than she does.

She deals more damage simply because the gold that you itemised toward armor resistance, she itemised toward AP. Mejais is also one of the most slot and gold efficient items in the game b...

Imagine justifying it. It's just broken

Disclaimer: not involved in gameplay balance.

Levels are a significant portion of innate champion tankiness. Akalis health growth is only slightly lower than Galio's. If you're 3 or 4 levels below Akali, she's going to have 400 more health than you.

Akali's current popular build involves her building a tank mythic item, as well as an AP bruiser item (chemtank into demonic embrace). These are some of the highest health items in the game, but it's only around 60 AP.

Without commenting on the state of Akali's balance (I am not on the balance team, and I haven't played as Akali recently), I would wager the reason why OP felt so squishy is largely down to the fact that:

  • Galio support will have much less health than an Akali thanks to the level disrepancy
  • Galios entire mitigation is his W. The passive component scales of HP, making it not so great if you're low level, and otherwise you only have the active component to mitigate dama...

That celebration bit was awesome. Thanks production!

Thank you! Our stats team came with the pitch, and I worked with our awesome video editor to make it. Great occasion to celebrate an amazing player and career.

Also true, 9-0 until they lost to Fnatic which was followed up by their poor round 2 performance, iirc they ended up 11-7.

Yes, I remember that too.

Yeah G2 were 9-0 before they lost to Origen in the 2nd day of Week 5.

IIRC, MSF also went 9-0 in Summer 2018. So, RGE would tie for 2nd best start in LEC history, IF they win today

Weeknd and KingCobra were former Challenger although I think they’re generally in masters these days since they don’t play on live much

We also had H4xDefender who I think now works as an assistant coach at TL. There are quite a lot of high diamond players in Riot in NA as well. Here in EU the bulk of players are around silver-gold, but we also don't have a balance team here.

What about the Concept Artist? You always forget to mention the concept artist :c

The question before was jut asking about the designers. The artist on the jungler is Bravo Ray and the artist on the bot laner is Sojyoo (Who was also the artist on Zeri)

This is it. I'm sure there is some good counter strats that could really bait and damage picking this.

From my experience hard 1v1 champs who refuse to group are the answer. They will always be ahead of another solo because of uncontested gold and xp and they’re built to 1v1. The map pressure must be answered but isn’t answered easily and there are fewer viable options to answer. Is your mid supportive? Is your bot divable? Did you pick a tank jungler? Guess you lose.

Can you share the designers working on the Void Jungler, and the Non-Traditional bot laner?

EndlessPillows is the designer on the Jungler and Squad5 is the designer on the bot laner

I hope this show can be a lot more than just rewind back to cool stuff although we're gonna do that too!

That's fair + makes sense that 100T's first title is worth highlighting. I'm definitely glad Replay Files is willing to branch out if that means more episodes in general since this content is so high quality. Each one is a great watch. Thanks for the content!

A lot of love and care (and planning) goes into every episode.

We've defs got a high bar to clear each time, but it's well worth it in the end.

People constantly talk about how LEC has an identity, a flair, a unique thing that makes them THEM. This is it for the LCS. THIS is what we've wanted the content to be for so many years, and I'm ecstatic that the content team understands that and is continuing to do it.

Lots of cool ideas in here. I'd be interested however in serving classes that are under represented in jungle. Zyra jungle! Mage junglers are cool (when they aren't Morgana at 53%)

I mainly believe it was a mechanical issue with her transformation that was only fixed much later with Veigo’s release. I tried asking u/PhreakRiot on why her hit box was so large, but most likely he didn't see the question.

I got no idea.

Winning in eSports is hard but League? It's EXTRA hard. Name of the game is all about consistency. If you want to leave a legacy you have to kick on from your successes not fall into the pit of complacency.

Great video and congratulations to all involved at 100Thieves. Time to do it all over again.

This is the message I personally wanted people to most take away from, glad this gave some of that!

Yeah I totally agree some new spotlight on these 100T guys would be great! I just question if Replay Files is the right format for it? Either way still a good watch I want more!

We've defs pushed the show 'format' quite a lot already and I think we'll continue to.

The only real 'required' (I say this very loosely) thing is a play to Replay back to, but we've bent that too (like with the CoreJJ episode).

We're certainly still going to look back and try and highlight older historical moments, but an expansion team winning their first LCS title felt like a piece of history worth preserving especially in the manner in which they first entered the league.

I hope this show can be a lot more than just rewind back to cool stuff although we're gonna do that too! Ultimately, if we're telling a good story and preserving the history of the LCS I personally think the show is doing what its intended to.
