Too bad 12% of all of my ARAM games are Gragas...

I don't like the Olaf changes, axes are now worthless for jungling.

As for LCS, what the fuck was TSM doing against Vulcan? Smells like desperation.

Also, VES got rid of Vileroze and replaced him with ECCO. Thank god, that dude gave me the creeps. They just need to get rid of NK Inc and they won't be team Child Molester anymore.

According to Reginald, their strategy in that game against Vulcan got blown up early, and then he made a bad call that snowballed the rest of the game. They wanted the Xin Zhao/Annie lane to be 2v1, which didn't work out for very long. Then Reginald called for help instead of just eating a sure death early on, which lead to that early 4-for-0. In that same interview he said that he thinks the idea behind that comp can work, but that it's unlikely that TSM will try it again in the LCS for a long time because it needs more work, and needs to be countering specific comps. Take it with a grain of salt, but that's the explanation given after the match.

That's fine, at least it was forethought. I like the idea of creating weird comps that counter teams that are too reliant on the standard meta.

Is anyone having issues logging onto the LoL forums? I can't seem to do it at all right now. It even says my normal account and my smurf don't even exist, so I am guessing they are updating the forums or something.

Edit: Nevermind, I resolved it.

I <3 Grag

Wish I got him more. So stupid with his sustain if you play him right.

Another announcement you all maybe missed. The US Governement recognises the #LCS as a Sport on par with NBA,NFL,NHL so pro's get visas now

WELP.

**Viq** · 2013-07-13 09:56

Wow, that's pretty wild.

Except they're not. They're going to stop against walls instead of fly over, now. It will hardly change his jungle, beyond having to actually position camps.

Except the mobs aggro, so after the first axe, they will be too close to be hit by an axe.

**Deftscythe** · 2013-07-18 21:36

So, I'm derping around in blind normals with my friend because his connection is too ass for ranked. Call jungle, pick Zac, other guy locks in shaco with smite anyways, so my friend locks in rengar with smite to troll him for being a douche. So we get in game, they invade our blue, kill shaco while my friend and I take their blue. Shaco then walks himself to a spot exactly between the nexus turrets and goes afk. Ten minutes later he comes back and says "sorry, I didn't mean to afk, my mom got hurt" in all chat. Me and my friend call him out on that being an obvious lie and spend the rest of the game busting his balls in all chat. Game ends and the enemy team says not only are they not going to report the Shaco, they're going to report everyone BUT him on our team.

This.Fucking.Game.

**euph** · 2013-07-18 21:56

you got trolled homey

**Ezek** · 2013-07-19 10:03

Man, C9 is on a fucking rampage. That TSM game was depressing to watch. Also:

EU LCS has been way more entertaining this split. Never know who the fuck is gonna win a match over there.

Really? You never know who is going to win because you don't know who is going to play worse. The only real entertaining thing is that they have a wider champ pool. But it's pretty obvious that the quality of EU games has dropped a lot, or NA has gotten a lot better.

**Viq** · 2013-07-19 10:18

I never said the level of play was better. I said the matches are more entertaining.

Fair enough.

**bluefan** · 2013-07-19 13:06

This ATN and EG match is pretty insane.

This game is exactly what I'm talking about. I'm only 25 minutes into it right now. There's some horrendous play on both sides, the likes of which you are more likely to find in normals than Bronze, nevermind LCS. On the other hand, holy shit is it fun to watch.

**bluefan** · 2013-07-20 10:18

Yeah. It's why I love high scoring games in my sports as well. Sloppy plays, but damn is it fun to watch lol. Especially when it's very close.

**shepardG** · 2013-07-20 10:23

Sooooo, can someone explain this Korean meta to me? I see these teams and they look 99% similar to any other team but the mindset is what's putting these guys ahead. I watched C9 yesterday vs. crs and it wasn't even a good match c9 just dominated. Is it just the thought process of where to pressure and when? Or what? Someone explain plz.
