I'll just switch to midlane so I don't have to deal with that shit. That, and because Orianna feels ridiculously strong at the moment.

 

Speak for yourself. Several counterpoints -

The point of Quasus isn't to be able to duel anyone. It's to be too much of a nuisance to kill without 2-3 members of the team. Ideally, there should hardly be any teamfighting done at all, but if there is, Wither and Spirit Fire are enough by themselves make 1 melee useless, and multiple enemies open to ad damage.

Meanwhile, while those two spells are running, I'm sitting on their biggest damage dealer, whoever that might be, like a BBW Chinese prostitute.

Am I going to kill them? Fuck no. Does the average assassin or adc tend to ignore the giant ulted Nasus Qing the shit out of them? Also no, especially if I have my Frozen Fist by then.

Ekko is better for sure at being relevant in a fight. But his ability to zone someone takes his whole kit, where as Wither alone has the ability to make someone useless. I honestly prefer Nasus. He's just got more presence, even if some of it is just mind game.

Sometimes you just gotta be the big dog, dog.

 

Personally I love AP Nas us, because he folds like a card to Mordekaiser. But it's completely toxic to a ton of other top laners because it has all the same issues as poppy did.

 

I've been grinding a load of Sona games with the new Ardent Censor buff. I feel like the item is a bit bonkers on Sona now with her AoE shield.

 

So my experience with League was gone down to the most occasional of games and streams but I've been noticing a ton of Shaco jungles on the Challenger level. And (surprise, surprise) they haven't been good. Did someone troll pick it in LCS or something?

 

Shaco is currently the highest winrate jungler at the moment, so people who just look at stats are playing him despite not being good at him.

 

Its almost like he's a legacy champ with some really unique design choices. I think it was Odd one that said (years ago) that if you're going to play Shaco you need to main him?

 

I mean that's why Pink Ward hit Challenger.

In other news, I've realized that playing ten games at once is a terrible idea... now stuck back in silver 3.

 

Same damage dealt. A rare occurrence.

"Turtle can’t be overextended if Hai overextends before him."

i've been enjoying Kien Lam's articles ever since he first started, but this really made me hurt my sides

 

Grass is green, water is wet, KT gets fucked and misses Worlds again. Fuck my life man

 

It felt like KT was still tilted off that reverse sweep (and by SKT screwing them over, again, by losing to LZ). I'd like to say I'm surprised, but not really. I'm hoping for LZ to carry the spirit of the ROX 2016 squad forward- they certainly do have the play-style for it.

 

Everyone see this?

Tbh when I saw kT got swept I was like RIP the next generation of kT fans.

 

First pentakill outside of ARAM since season 3.

In other news, Gold V marksman gooder than Diamond ADC main.

 

...and then you died. Should have cut the clip before that Either way, well done.

 

Rune/Mastery rework has been announced. Just thought I'd point out to any people who missed it.
