fffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

And fucking lost. Fucking top goes 0-7....

[Kisamoo]

CLG dropping games left and right. Too many changes has made them really inconsistent. They're trying too hard to play this like S2 and they get crushed by new age S3 tactics (double armor shred bruiser divers ftw).

MRN IS FUKN HUNGRY TONIGHT. MRN WRECKS TSM AND CLG. WOW

[Akiyama]

How'd MRN do overall?

[Kisamoo]

MRN had a fucking gauntlet today. They had to face Curse, CLG and TSM on the same day. Overall went 2-1 today putting them right behind CLG in 5th place.

[Akiyama]

Oh wow, that's awesome. Curse is pretty damn good yeah? lol

[Kisamoo]

They're definitely looking the most solid. TSM had a 2-3 month period where no one would scrim them after Dyrus leaked Dig's strat to CLG EU @ Worlds and CLG keeps swapping roles and rosters so it's interesting to see how that's affected them. Not to take anything away from MRN tho, their play was really good and methodical each time.

I actually think Dig is much better than Curse, they're currently 1-1 so we'll see. They have 2 more matches to play against each other. I think a lot of Curse's success is built around Voyboy carrying them and once teams begin figuring that out and putting more resources to shut him down we'll see how they hold up.

That is what happens when you have kids as "professional". The first team that actually treats this as a job will be dominant for a long time.

Curse is far superior to Dig. Dig tends to look weak early game, and can quickly fall behind. In a couple of games, they have just gotten OP picks, and that made up for their inferior play. They are definitely not as coordinated or strategic as Curse.

LOL OMFG TOO FUNNY. TSM goes FULL RETARD against VULCAN during an extended baron engage. Gives them kills 1 by 1 then Baron, ROFLMAO. Everyones gonna need to ban Nid and Lux against Mancloud, the guy is a god damn sniper. He keeps catching and 1 shotting Regi its too damn funny.

but then Zuna is even more retarded, goes 8-2 but doesn't build any ASPD or crit items... on an AD? LOL Vulcan was ahead the entire game but Zuna kept building raw AD instead of ASPD and Crit so his damage just fell off completely and Singed was able to rush them for free.

I agree that IE would have been a good choice, but overall it doesn't matter. If Zuna and Chaox had the same items at the end, kog would have came out on top easily.

Not saying Ez > Kogmaw late game but there were so many team fights where TSM would get away with slivers of health, had Zuna built more AD and less utility (Gauntlet on Ez is overrated as fuck... just get Tri) they would have been able to clean up fights before Kog got out of control. I liked TSM's Mao pick tho, I think that kept them in the game. Vulcun got a lot of great burst but fantastic Mao positioning did so much for TSM it allowed them to stall to late game.

You're right, but IE > Trinity. Gauntlet is not overrated, it's a good item for ez just die to the fact you can kite and has armor. The only thing that's good on Trinity is phage slow and Gauntlet does that a shit ton better.

Yeah but Trinity does 10x more than Gauntlet for late game scaling. Attack speed, crit, movespeed; all ideal end game stats. Gauntlet is a neat lil niche people figured out but you put yourself 3k gold worth of damage behind for a cute frozen puddle. Dumb.

I would say the kiting power is amazing as well as the armor. But hey, why not both?

[Kisamoo]

Also, the thing I hate about Gauntlet is that the slow is NOT an on-hit effect. It's a 2s proc so I'm inclined to believe that Tri Force is better for kiting combined with the other stats. Honestly, I don't see why you think the armor is that important on a character that's all about perimeter and edge play. In that case, Ezreal would probably derive more consistent results and better synergy from Tri. Gauntlet is for bruisers, something people can build instead of glacial but a poor poor substitute for Tri.

[The_OG_Nelta]

Q on hits for gauntlet is why it's good. Triforce is not a core item on Ezreal anymore.

[Kisamoo]

...obviously... I guess you're just gonna say things without any backing or logic. Triforce is core on everyone.

[The_OG_Nelta]

I'm comparing that back in S2 trinity was rushed
but now in S3
Trinity is pretty much useless on ez because the only good stat on it is phage proc
the damage is minimal and the atk speed as well
you can build other items
atk speed = shiv
damage = anything else but trinity
gauntlet takes care of the kiting with slow
and has sheen proc
so
trinity sucks

EDIT: Triforce core on everyone? What?

[Kisamoo]

IE + Shiv for raw damage
BT + BC/LW for burst AD
Gauntlet + ??? for kiting?
Trinity + BT/IE/BC

These are pretty much the core AD S3 builds.

Do you not see the problem? Gauntlet provides 0 synergy for any future items Ez builds. You paid 3k gold for a glorified mystic shot, congratulations! Whether or not Tri is worth it (and honestly with all the sheeping in LoL, its no surprise everyone under rates it now) is irrelevant to the fact that it at least provides synergy for future items compared to gauntlet: IT MAKES THE NEXT ITEM YOU BUY PERFORM BETTER because you're using multiplicative stats like crit and aspd.

also, whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooosh

If you are rushing IE, you should go PD for movement speed/minion collison since you won't have the lifesteal of BT to rely on.

IE + PD standard AD which is rare on ez
BT + Shiv + gauntlet standard for raw damage, survivability, and kiting power.

Gauntlet doesn't provide any synergy? I don't know bro, a 30% slow for 2 seconds is pretty fucking long.

It's not sheeping, it's simply what is better, and I am saying that Trinity is not a good item on Ezreal anymore.
