Oh, didnt know that.
Very rarely, but I think we're mostly talking about Worlds now, and the Kayle picks has lost top/support outside of SSW winning one top game with her, but that's also just SSW being Korean.

Has anyone tried the new Soraka? She actually feels engaging now ( at least compared to her earlier self).

There's a reason why S2 worlds or IPL5 were the greatest tournaments ever.

I'm still hoping c9 and alliance somehow manage to make it out of groups, najin is the third best korean team, they can't be THAT terrifying.... right? 
Yes, I like alliance, they my 4th favorite team in the bracket, everyone beyond them and the US teams I don't care about, cept SK, who I was rooting to do as poorly as possible because they have sven and incarnation.

I don't even care about the racism or have literally no idea what incarnation did to be banned. I just hate SK as a team lol

Haha, I've actually assisted in anti-racism advocacy for asian-americans so it's a particular hat for me, but he's just a toxic jerk in general based on what I've seen of him.
Incarnation is basically sven, except he was a serial ddoser too. Tons of different people, on league and he did it in WoW before.

I love the passive, just zip by so fast LOL
I love how people here were saying that Lee Sin and Elise rendered all other junglers unviable, and that full AD Rengar is bad.
Lol Worlds
What I love about Worlds is that all the NA metasheep who have never watched anything outside of NA LCS get put in their place when better regions like Korea and China come and show them what the real elite metagame is.

heaven forbid different regions have different metas because they play differently
Look at all the worlds matches and tell us how many Rengars there were.
Only Insec's Rengar was ever played in worlds so far, him and his team dominated their group so hard he didn't need to go tank so he just went flare ghostblade and cutlass for sustain in jungle.
Everything else has been Kha cause he's a better jungler with more utility and ganks than Rengar that goes full ad (resets).
Any other jungler so far has been jarvan eve or lee/elise still, so dunno what you're talking about. Lee sin is still quite ahead of the curve but Elise has fallen off a bit.

And in this post dre once again establishes his complete lack of reading comprehension.
Ya know, if somebody says that something was true up until major nerfs, that rather implies it's not the state of the game anymore.

I'm Korean and I'm in Bronze V NA.
I'm not sure why reading all of Acro's post just seems like he's being sarcastic in each and every one of them.
I just saw the Soraka update, why are people complaining about changes that make her actually require some form of skill to use...
Then again you insisted that a champion that has won literally over half his games in Diamond somehow isn't viable in that division lol.
Junglers apart from Lee and Elise were being used in China and Korea before they got nerfed. Besides post-nerf Lee and Elise can still 1v1 any other jungler that's worth using competitively, and they still has good ganks. Their overall strength as champions has taken a hit but their interaction with other junglers hasn't actually changed that much.

Let me just full heal my carry then heal up myself with my impossible to dodge Q that gives me way too much health, costs -5 mana, and does stupid amounts of poke damage, all while being safe from any retaliation.

So Rammus just got picked in worlds and won against one of the top teams in NA.
Yes Smashboards, please enlighten me on how tank junglers aren't viable in high level play

That's basically what old Soraka did except that you didn't have to aim anything. Besides if her numbers are too strong they'll just gut them, but the mechanical rework is a step in the right direction.

Except old Soraka had to go within auto attack range to harass you, now she just lobs stars from the bush way out of range and gets free heals for hitting you, and since her heal costs hp now instead of mana, hitting the enemy adc doesnt help since you wont deplete her mana bar that way, she'll just top them off again and harass you safely while getting free health for poking. Its bull.

Not really. Her heal range is short enough that healing most people in danger also puts you in danger. Also her burst healing is a lot lower, which is a big deal.
also her heal costs both health and mana lmao
if you cant dodge q youre not playing well
and the healing from q cant keep up with her spam healing her team jfyi

>healing people in danger puts her in danger
If your adc overextends and you cant heal him without being in danger yourself, then just dont ****ing heal them, its not Soraka's fault that Twitch doesnt understand the concept of positioning.

I never understood why it took so long for Rammus to get picked. Rammus is a tank that is good at skirmishes since he can ult is such a short CD. And he makes the margin of error for getting caught out even smaller due to how fast he can catch you out. When the metagame is all about getting the first catch, being good at getting a catch is a good trait.

Because people like Lee jarvan etc do all that better outside of leaving base and being midlane in 5 seconds (which delays your golem by having to put 1275 gold into mobo homegaurds while they have their jungle item finished already), incredibly prone to being counterjungled hard at level 1 and so on, and frankly I'd rather have a Lee or Jarvan with me in a 2v2 or 3v3 in the jungle instead of rammus.
Being Sonic doesn't make you better, and characters like C9's comp invalidates rammus or even just something like fiddle.
Alliance just played the teamfights right forcing stuff early like Hai using his ult badly the 2nd drag fight or Lemon randomly using his blackshield on himself.
Meteos looked like he was lost on Jarvan anyways since it wasn't lee sin elise or kha for him lol

the ****? All I'm saying is heal is not always available to her "all while being safe from retaliation".
The same reasons why other tank junglers aren't popular in pro play. They can't 1v1 bruiser types like Lee Elise J4 etc. which means they're vulnerable to being invaded and getting killed/counterjungled. The popular bruiser junglers have a similar level of gank potency as the tanks but do more damage, so they're effectively better champions early game when it's all about ganks and skirmishes. The tanks just scale better in terms of teamfighting ability/utility.

Read it again, the 'all while being safe' was only referring to her Starcall.

That game was way too real though.
I'm more of wondering how the rematch will work now.

Pretty sure Shield will win the tiebreaker, C9 just got literally perfect picks and then only barely won due to Shield playing pretty iffy near the end of the game, I doubt Shield will let those same picks through again and wont slip up in their game again, and if Shield plays their best and doesnt throw Pick/Ban phase, I dont see C9 ever beating Shield.
I was thinking the same thing, C9 all had comfort picks outside of Lemon while NWS played weirdly. Super aggressive twitch that even surprises me and he ultimately died or did almost nothing in most fights because of his positioning.
