There is some fundamental champion design flaws if most of analysts, casters, pros and fans truly despise the un-interactive gameplay with Yuumi.

But they are very present (both in top 7 junglers at worlds), for a build that really shouldn't be working at pro level in the first place (unless y'all are trying to shift talon and qiyana into bruisers, but I don't think that's what's happening)

And the other super-prevalent champs are all using some form of draintank mythic. I'm definitely biased bc I don't like the playstyle, but the two draintank fighter mythics have completely crowded out stridebreaker and triforce.

Again, Goredrinker is OP. It's getting nerfed, especially for assassin types, in 11.21, so that's at least a decent push.

But even still, Talon and Qiyana were both buffed quite a bit heading into Worlds. Qiyana was specifically targeted for pro-focused buffs.

FWIW, Qiyana hasn't only seen Goredrinker builds. The last time she was played it was full Lethality. I don't remember how many more times that happened, but with only 8 games played, that's a sizable percentage.

They should try getting top seeds out of their groups, then.

The fact that worlds meta right now is full of assassins building goredrinker should tell you all you need to know about the absolute state of modern draintanking and damage creep.

Talon and Qiyana represent the 6th and 7th highest presence junglers at 31% and 22% presence respectively. That's like saying support is "full of" Braum and Rell.

Nah, it's actually Lee Sin and co. Buncha fighters. There are more Divine Sunderer users in jungle than assassins.

Not that Goredrinker isn't OP. It is. But your data is wrong.

I don't despise Yuumi.

She exists. She does unique things. I think that's fine.

I think some portion of the collective community hate is just getting wrapped up in insider culture. We have a million of these. 0/10 Yasuo power spikes? Mid or feed? Calling anyone who does "inting"? We've got a million. "Yuumi is a mistake" is just one of them.

Not that no one dislikes Yuumi. Just that it's intentionally overwrought.

Also, wow /u/PhreakRiot with one of the best puns/lines yet

"Morgan is not a serial killer he is serial killed! Not getting Dexter out of this Morgan."

Might have misquoted but thought that was great

Thanks! I was pretty proud of that one :)

Shaping up to be a pretty good month. Only downside is I decayed out of Diamond in solo queue. Gotta play some decay games on 150 ping to keep D2 in Flex.

Anyway NA 2nd best region, when do we start the discussion about demoting EU to wildcard tier?

The top half of your post is pretty much exactly what's happening.

However, it's also LCS is beating LEC to help LCK win Worlds. We're taking down BOTH of Korea's kryptonites.

  • NA team ending groups 3-3 and not getting out ☑
  • NA team only sowing up after it doesn't matter ☑
  • T1 ending 1st over EDG in groups ☑
  • EDG losing a random game to miss out on a first place finish ☑

Had to keep some parts of the script consistent, otherwise Worlds wouldn't be believable this year.

This comment is hilarious in hindsight. What with 2-0ing FPX

Going from tournament favorites to going 0-4 against f**king EU and NA 3rd seed. This will go down in history as the most astounding implosion.

Samsung Ozone 2013 compares quite closely. They were also expected to win, having recently won in Korea. They lost to Vulcun.

Actually kinda hilarious to see the parallel there.

No it's not. DFM beat C9. It's actually shortening.

Yeah but by that logic C9 beat Damwon (at MSI) and you could just say the gap is shortening the other way.

So what are we thinking is gonna be the "how do we fix NA" discourse topic that dominates podcasts and Reddit threads this year? Ping? Solo queue? Coaching staff? Maybe we'll see people try to resurrect the import limit discussion?

Really sucks that EUW solo queue magically became 70 ping this year. But that’s pretty much incontrovertible evidence that solo queue ping = draft/macro brain.

Closer says 100 Thieves match against DFM was revenge for the NA fans

How low have we sunk that we need revenge on wildcard teams.

Eh I’m generally not a fan of interviews that post answers and not questions. It’s easy to be led into statements that don’t make sense in isolation. In general it’s easy to just agree with innocuously-posed questions.

“I saw you took down DFM after they beat Cloud9 in Play-Ins. Do you think you got revenge for them with this match?”

“Oh yeah there’s definitely some revenge there…” is such an easy answer to give. But without the lead-up question it sounds so much more direct.

Considering the results so far, LCS is clearly able to fight with the big teams. There isn’t a player at this tournament who considers themself at a “wildcard” level.
