thanks

Hey Tekparif - I'm not sure if I fully understood your question (sorry if I misunderstood!), but I think what you're asking is, "how many people are in d4+, d3+, d3+, etc.?" or in other words, what is the distribution of players by rank?

I'm going to cheat a little and use op.gg as they already provide this data in a readily consumable format. Seems like for NA, D4 is about the top 2% of players, and D3 is about the top 1%.

Hope that helps!

Am I hearing things wrong or did Nukeduck just say G2 has a worse understanding of the game than Origen? Because if so, then I honestly don't have a response to that lmao.

Hey! Would like to jump in and say that this was Nukeduck replying to European analysts saying that they play too slow (we had them whispering it just before the quote) I apologize if this was not clear.

Frosk and Drakos synergy is too insane, was an honor to be a part of the show for a season and with the dream team back and a new studio it can only get greater. Will be watching from Korea with much love.

Love you brother. Just remember if you beat an LEC team at worlds im gonna have to pretend we aren't friends anymore. XD

Do you think Schalke will ever get to Worlds?

Let's just start with summer 2020, I think "ever," is a bit too hard for me to predict.

This is hands down the best split for any EU team to make it to worlds. The extra seed is a big deal. But as mentioned in the podcast FNC and G2 are basically locked in for worlds short of a total disaster, OG seem likely for one of the remaining seeds. So now you've got one spot and MAD/MSF/RGE/S04 fighting for it. (Obviously XL VIT and SK could surprise but let's take it one step at a time)

With that competition, we will need to see huge growth from S04 if they want to make it to worlds. You can call them a dark horse but it would take a lot of big upsets for them to make it.

what is your opinion on schalke's 10 man roster and do you think it is fair that lck and lcs have the same amount of seeds?

In the west I think 10 man rosters are purely lip service until proven otherwise.

Hey /u/RiotDrakos, how come Frosk gets the Alienware m5 and you're having to rep what I think it a Latitude? With those LECtronic paychecks I'd expect you to have an m5 too!

That's my work laptop lol. We only had one Alienware on hand today. Hopefully I get one next week. :)

with the tendency of fnatic and g2 to int in the first matches of the split, i feel like all the matchups on the first day of play this week can go both ways. would you agree?

No way I can say with any confidence that SK have a shot at beating OG in game 3. Outside of that I think its pretty fair to say that day 1 games especially are a bit of a toss up.

Biggest questions for me are SK and VIT. Do they level up this split? Or are they just punching bags like spring.

What do you think about the latest changes to the elemental rift with the seemingly unlimited amount of blast cones with infernal drake? Seems pretty over the top from what I've seen so far.

I don't think the plant spawns will impact strategy in any meaningful way. If it was earlier in the game it would be a big deal but coming in on a rift change means I don't think it will do much.

I'm just hoping it leads to some wild blastcone outplays.

We went pretty quickly through each of the teams this week so if you have any questions at all feel free to shoot em my way. I'm prepping today so happy to answer whatever.

The studio looks sexy but it seems kinda small, it seems like the are in a cublicle.

Edit: Frosk you dont need to dance around the TSM drama, we all know they messed up badly, hell, Leena didnt even apologize to Dardoch personaly.

Much better for sound overall, this episode had some technical difficulties but hopefully you notice the difference in future episodes!

Also its way more comfortable lol.

Thanks! I'll look into it

Why is it intentional that not having sight of someone completely negates your rune choice? Sight or not, you should get the movespeed toward them.

Minor runes should generally be fairly low mindshare and if gameplay on AV is Ashe fishing over walls with W and checking her MS to see if someone's there its pretty weird gameplay. Theres also some consistency rules with stuff working when you see them and not when you don't.

Also a lot of cc reveals, tho certainly not all.

All that being said, it's a tossup because if you hit your morg bind while they dip into a bush you should feel good about it and benefit from your choices.

Do you know if it’s intentional that AV doesn’t work if you’d CC’ed them while they’re out of vision? Tbh I don’t remember if it did before but there’s a pretty recent thread highlighting that and how it increases time spent hasted while you’re dead, leading to a misleading level of usefulness

Out of vision is intentional, the time spent dead one is a bit wack for tracking but I could look into just making it check to make sure you're alive

I think I found and fixed this bug while updating Approach Velocity to its newer version

But both Pantheon (pre-rework) and Mord were top laners, maybe a bot or mid is better.

If we had one that was as high priority sure, we currently don't have any bot or mids that are as high priority as Mundo. All the champs I put on the last voting poll where high priority and 4 were junglers with only Mundo being Top

Absolutely! A few things that really struck a bad chord with me:

2) increase Mundo’s gameplay variance beyond landing cleavers

The only time cleavers are my focus are when my laning opponent will almost certainly kill me for getting in range--especially early game. A lot of my plays come from Masochism and outlasting my opponent. Canceling my auto-attack on the E is absolutely crucial in many cases.

 

It's why a lot of Mundo mains will take Approach Velocity in their second tree, and I see the recent buffs to the rune being particularly huge for him.

 

That's a bit beside the point, but the cleavers are merely something I use to get in range. Right now, he's working very nicely as an anti-AP bruiser. Not so much when he has to duel "real" bruisers, especially before level 11/Rank 2 ult.

 

Then, the approach to lore really bothered me. I've always liked this idea of a doctor who over-experime...

I play a lot of Mundo too, but mostly Jungle because players are so poor at judging the matchups and gank timing. I'm pretty sure Glenn has a good read on his gameplay (I think he's in the Mundo discord atm), we only get a few lines in the article to wax lyrical but I can see why that phrasing is upsetting as a hardcore Mundo player.

I'm seeing a lot of mixed opinions on what his story should be. I too remember him being snuck into the Zac promo material along with WW in their pre-LoL forms. Heck the 'M' concept was a bit of a throwback to the old beta Mundo, although maybe I should have given him dinosaur feet. But personally I think when it comes to experimenting on themselves Viktor and Singed have that beat covered. Rest assured we are talking about it.

Hey Reav3, can we expect a rework thinking Dr. Mundo in two lanes?

With Fiddle's rework, we lost him as support. Going from tier S+ (3% pick rate) to less than 1% pick rate due to changes. Can we dream with Dr. Mundo viable as support (like Maokai for example)?

Or are there 0% chances and he only be defined as top lane? Thanks!

I think we will likely be able to make him work in both top and jng (It was much harder to make Fiddle work in Jng and support) Though we would be looking at top primary, and jng secondary if we can make it work

We are targeting him to stay niche, we mostly want to increase his depth by rather then his breadth
