Was rooting for TA, but lowkey wanted Azubu to somehow underdog their way through.

Rapidstar is MVP'ing it up. Definitely worthy of PLATINUM dice.

Jesus, I mean they had crazy aoe, but still still I didn't expect they'd be able to compensate for that much of a lead and vayne was fed.


Nah, rapidstar gets a diamond dice.

karthus, but they also had like 10 seconds of aoe stun/snare/knockup to keep people in the karthus defile. They built around karthus and part of the reason karthus is so awesome in arranged play is that so many comps can be built around him.

Vayne's ok I guess. Don't know why they're having her go against Ezreal, really. She has such short range, but I guess the late game pay off is compelling enough to pick her.

If anyone needs the code for Riven, it's 521337. I'm not supplying the URL because I'm a bawss (actually kinda missed it. I'll look it up later and post it.)

Doesn't Ezreal beat Vayne because of his pokes in the laning phase? Seems like the MU wouldn't be in Vayne's favor early on.

Also, lol, the Riven site crashed because 500k+ people tried to access it at once.

Lol, they always were close, it's just a matter of who was the worst and who was the second worst. If there's anything mafia taught me, it's to learn to recognize and back away when you're wrong.


It's really just painful early/midgame, vayne is just so weak in lane because her design doesn't include any sort of poke or long-ranged farming tools which makes it really difficult for her to trade well and makes her very vulnerable, she has to expose herself to being farmed. This usually results in her being much weaker then her lane opponent midgame which is where I think most games are decided.


Tris on the other hand, has a much stronger laning phase because she has good kill potential, but because her spells don't scale on AD at all and she doesn't have any AD steriod so her damage falls off a lot midgame prior to when her massive AS steriod actually becomes useful because her AAs start actually doing damage. Well unless massively fed.

What's really nuts is this stream being down. :(

And now it's back on. There's no way AF is coming back though.

Good finals in all honesty. TPA is crazy good. No qualms with that.

Trist still isn't the worst ad carry though.

I dunno man, she does consistently pull the worst winrate of AD carries at all elos.


And it does make sense, because even a tris that's a kill or 2 ahead and reasonably ahead in cs simply doesn't put out that much damage in midgame fights for objectives, and that's where major swings generally occur because that's when there's a ton of gold on the line.



Of course, this is a solo queue analysis.


You're kinda nuts, Adum.
Who do you think is the worst, and why?

If we're going for an "everything" pizza then my this is perhaps one of the few combinations I could tolerate:

Well there's your problem.
Well, arranged play is very comp dependent, so saying whose the best/worst is really a matter of who works in the most comps and whose strongest in the comps that he works in.





Is this really even a question?
Ironically, twitch actually does better then both tris and vayne in solo queue.

I'd attribute this to his passive + expunge giving him better trading in lane then vayne and his ult + passive + AD scaling on expunge makes his damage more relevant midgame then tris' while his stealth gives him a lot more control.


I dunno, I think people underestimate twitch in solo queue, he's bad but not "reliable bottom 10 winrates in the game at all elos" bad.

Until about a minute ago, when I finally got around to properly looking up League of Legends, I had no idea that this was essentially what it is. The way I've seen people talk about it around here, I just assumed it was like a BlazBlue or P4A kinda game.
