Phreak's rant about the C9 roster being LS' friends while talking about C9 potentially failing just felt like a massive hate boner. Yes, C9 very much could fail for a multitude of issues. With that said, aside from Fudge, none of the projected five C9 starters (potentially six if you want to include Isles), are LS' friends. The accusation of it failing because LS' friends aren't good is nonsensical. Are the coaching staff and Malice his friends? Yeah, sure. But they aren't there with the intent of being played. They're there with the intent of being high level practice partners.

Reality is Berkserker is a mechanically talented adc who is top 50 in Korean challenger while also having amateur experience playing for T1, a team who has historically been extremely successful at scouting talent on the Korean ladder. He wasn't friends with LS prior to signing, he was just a talented prospect that they wanted to get a hold of young. Is there a risk he doesn't pan out? Sure. Is he a...

I just wanna say to phreaks point about bjerg not playing much soloq on his main account. bjerg has said he played on a smurf account all year and double also said he was challenger because they played vs each other and double didnt know it was bjerg (this is what double said)

though another point, apperently bjerg was playing mainly jungle on his secret account

also it was stated on one of the tsm legends episode's, when bjerg was upset with the team because he had played more soloq than most of the team for the last few weeks

Ok looking at it, I do wonder whats going on with Senna. Sunderer wasnt nerfed, was it? Why did Kraken suddenly overtake it.

Eh, pre-preseason they were picked at similar rates and Conqueror lagged behind by half a percent point consistently. At that point, Lethal Tempo was still better. Nowadays its not though, and yeah, people are building him incorrectly.

Originally posted by UNOvven

Eh, not as much as youd think. Conqueror was only slightly worse on Noc, and only changed to about even. Lethal Tempo makes up for maybe .5% of the 4% he lost.

Lmao, I just realised theyre buffing Nocturne. This is possibly the first time a champion is getting buffed simply because people insist on building them incorrectly. Just dont buy Axiom Arc and youll win a lot more.

I personally love morde jungle. I started playing it right before his mini buff to his passive and was really stoked to read the patch notes a few weeks after investing into the champ.

How does the balance team nerf/buff a champion for a specific skill bracket?

I'm quite curious about this.

Yo what about putting those color clarity bands that the patch notes have indicating which tiers the changes are aimed at in the previews?

fair but an adjustment would be nice that makes reksai worse early but playable late.

Not in all elos. Riot balances the game around 4 divisional skill bands. Rek'sai has historically been high elo skewed. U.GG shows a 1.16% increase for Rek'sai's win rate in Elite play (D2+). Though admittedly Lolalytics has them much closer together (Rek'sai still in the lead in Elite play). Not saying Nunu couldnt be tapped down, but the stats arent 1:1. They are probably nerfing her early game in order to reduce her high elo skew.

Good points and a fair argument. Yeah.

Phreak, can you tell me what you think of the arguments made in this post in favor of Sunderer:

It’s literal garbage against shield. It’s not a bad item, but it’s a lie that shadowflame is anti-shield.

Good analysis on Kayle mid, I just have one thing that I do not agree with at all: MPen not being good on Kayle.

Sorcs hit like a truck on carries and Void melts tanks. Especially in this meta where tanks are rare, I don't really feel the need of getting more AS,

Give it a try fellow Kayle players and see the difference in damage

Rammus' biggest weakness is the fact he's hot garbage early game.

His ganks are alright, even decent, but he has one of the absolute worst clear speeds of any jungler and because of that he can be 'abused' pretty hard early.

I like Rammus but I find playing him miserable because I always feel worthless for the first 15 minutes because of how slow headbutting and scratching jungle camps on him is.

rammus correction - you skill Q first, but not for the movement speed. the ms scales on champ level, not ability level.

you do it because you get a net speed increase from the lower cooldown, and clear increase from higher aoe damage for camps and lower cd on it. (which was covered in vid)

true, for example low level kayle, with lt you attack fast but you literally pet your enemies. feels good but worthless at the same time. i feel like running pta kayle is much stronger while lt just gives a better feeling.
