So after playing quite a bit of Braum the last couple of days; my impression is that he is way too powerful. You can borderline feed your opponent and still be extremely relevant in every way shape and form.

Cait + raka = too much Piltover Peacemaker spam will cause him to run out of mana quick (plus raka gets some solid q's through his "shield".)

The shield will block the entirety of the peacemaker, and even if you auto it down prior to shooting,the peacemaker only hits him. Her Q is pretty easy to dodge regardless unless you get a good AA+EQ on them in a trade without minion blockage. In that matchup I would expect the lane to be incredibly passive and little to no kill potential. Unless Braum is dead, don't expect to kill anyone with a Cait ult.

What I've noticed is that most of the pokey mage type supports in bot lane will run out of mana far before Braum gets low enough to kill - unless he's taking a substantial amount of free AA pokes for no reason.

Morg seems like a good pick against him in lane, black shield the person that is the target of his stun and they can't break it because his magic damage is minimal. Her Q also allows for fairly 1 sided trades regardless of who eats it.

[Penthesilea]

Maybe it's just who I've played against, but his shield cooldown is LONG (starts at 18 seconds) while Peacemaker is relatively short (starts at 10sec).

[Lilswitche]

You're right, it is long, however it isn't effective to spam an ability through the wave like that every time it's off cooldown (control of the wave is very important). I'd be hardpressed to see people take Q's to the face consistently without it going through the wave for damage reduc or not juke it outright.

I've been leveling w level 2; but in retrospect, it seems rather silly since the shield offers so much better damage reduction for both champs.

I almost think a Karma lane might do better; her Q costs aren't that taxing, and I like that you can always auto with her poke for free against melee champs.

Great series going on between CJ Blaze and Samsung Ozone in the OGN 3rd place match. These two teams are so evenly matched, and are forcing each other into lots of decisions around object trades. They are contesting each other for every inch of vision control leading to some good picks, but even more team fights. Well worth checking these games out.

[shepardG]

Litterly, just came to check to see if you were watching lol, what's the spread best of 5? or best of 3? 1 to 1 right now right?

[shepardG]

god i hope TSM, C9, Dig, Curse, etc. (NA teams) are watching this... they need to understand how these's fights are playing out, on the strategic level, not just the mechanics/team fight level.

[Viq]

This is best of 5. If it's goes to a 5th game, it will be blind pick.

[shepardG]

3rd match was won before minnon's spawned... i think blaze lost their composure after that double kill :/ they pulled it close but mid-game caught up to them... dat twitch.

[Viq]

Mata and Imp were dominant that game. I hope Blaze can pull themselves together after that to force a blind pick game.

Looper playing Soraka top? Against Shyvana? Is that right? Makes a lot of sense. I love how top lane has developed this season. It is basically piling counterpick on counterpick.''

Holy shit Emperor... holy shit.

So many amazing plays. There is no way for NA to compete with an Aqua Prison on the anticipated landing spot of Kha'Zix jump.

[Viq]

Soraka fit their comp really well too. They could be more aggressive with their pick comp when they have a wish to bail them out... but then Draven happened.

[Viq]

Wooooow. Pawn gives no fucks. What a great set.

Made a smurf to play only Jungle Mordekaiser. Any guesses on how high I can get it? :D

Diamond 1, I believe.

[Gryffes]

17-5 and into gold. I think plat is definitely achievable.

Was finally able to get a Fantasy League rolling, 7 spots left/needed: http://fantasy.lolesports.com/en-US/...fRMvcMhsrIaSMB

Signed up.

Nice, need 5 more now. I hope I didn't go too big, options were 4/6/8, as it seems not possible to change once created.
