pretty sure 23 free magic resist is a huge buff for a tank
Cause he's a tank and they gave him a fair amount of MR?
I've been playing Shen in both top and supp since season 3 and the MR is honestly not make or break
Have you considered that maybe he got nerfed in season 3 that hurt his viability? And perhaps it was a nerf that impacted his defense?
He stopped getting played after the teleport changes. Shen always had lower combat-effectiveness than other top laners, but had the global to compensate. With teleport getting buffed he lost his niche as now every top laner did what he did but with better combat-effectiveness. That's why they're buffing him now. The two most important buffs where CD drops on his ult and his passive. The buffs are nice but he's still weaker combat-wise with the double global niche to make up for it. So it's not like his viability has really changed that much since the teleport changes. His recent popularity is definitely just buff-syndrome.
League of Pathological Liars
Especially if he's like 4/0 or something.
It's a possible explanation to his behavior. Also Fiora is a garbage mid, however her kit gives so much room when the enemy is unaware of how to counterplay her or are just unsure of how to play their own champion in an AP v. AD setup. The biggest issue with bronze which is the elo I'm playing in is the lack of ability on "mid laners" to conceptualize what they need to do and what factors gate them in order to snowball laning phase as soon as possible while respecting factors outside of lane i.e. jungle pressure + vision. Also junglers are generally largely a non-factor for mid lane if care is put into slow pushing and not just blindly attacking enemy tower without any surrounding vision while the rest of the map is still on primary turrets (lack of concept on when to roam).Just me and my perspective, but,
I would've said/felt the exact same thing. I'm assuming the malz tried to harass you early.
The fact it worked out sounds like he's sarcastically retorting himself
I'm assuming you mean worldwide and not just NA. My guess would be either EDG or SKT. NA is honestly a joke compared to the East atm. TSM is terrible at the macro-level and they're one of the top teams in the league. Haven't watched much EU but from what I remember it's just a more gimmicky version of NA. I'm sure they could take the odd game off the Eastern teams if thing go their way but I'd be astounded if they got anything more than that.
Missed thatWhy are you assuming he means worldwide when he specifically said "NA wise?"?
Gravity.
TL is gated by the same factors as CLG and TSM. These are the biggest teams which have the most infrastructure, however all three organizations have been bogged down by bureaucracy bull**** instead of just attempting to outplay the enemy team on a day to day basis. TSM and TL have one player on the team considered to be a world star, but these players are often put into situations and environments where they can't carry with the rest of the team. On the other hand, SKT has Faker who last I checked is having a god-like season where no one is coming close to him in Champions League.
TSM does deserve to go to Worlds based on their past performance. However, they are in the same category like CLG and TL in the sense that I group all three of these organizations as being the worst teams you would want to be in Worlds from NA. These teams have the most infrastructure, however the resources they have aren't applied effectively or to the same extent as Korean organizations that have managed their players much better and also have even more resources to channel into raising e-sport stars.I will admit that while I'm a TSM fan, I don't foresee them ever winning Worlds any time soon, unfortunately. There's just much better teams out there.
The most important thing to address is that EU is not a "gimmicky version of NA." Fnatic currently has some of the most enjoyable players to watch. Huni, Rekkles, and Febiven are all dangerous players who can carry games when they are expected to carry. The fact that you have a team majorly composed of star talent and managing to still perform consistently without giving up a single loss this season means that management must be doing something right or there is some chemistry that is currently working out for them.
Yeah but you're Espy. Your tastes aren't as good as mine.The idea that anyone willingly roots for TSM disgusts me.
Basic *******.
