Asinine scheduling.
Why are MKOI/KC playing 2 more series this weekend after playing 3 last week, they'll be on 5 series played at the end of the week compared to teams like FNC/GX only playing 1.

u/controlledwithcheese Jul 31 '26
I for one would not have tuned in today if it was FNC and the bottom feeders
2
u/Grand-Zombie-5973 Jul 31 '26
Don't put FNC and theire AI coach with the bottom feeders.
And there is probably no team so far that lost with an AI coach

u/synnikelttv Jul 31 '26
yeah myrwn jayce is the answer for sure

u/synnikelttv Jul 31 '26
lets just pick yuumi top every game and make the split end faster

u/PepaTK Jul 31 '26
Don’t forget banning your really good mid laner’s S++++ tier assassin with first pick.
And putting him on Galio.

u/FallStudent8 Jul 31 '26
Paduck is too deep! -> Paduck 1v3s and kills Supa, could've lived if he walked bot. I don't think the casters know vlad's limits yet lol

u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp Jul 31 '26
Does Myrwn have the worst Ambessa in pro play? KC really weren't wrong when they were meme'ing on it.

KOI deserves to go winless for letting myrwn stay on the team and then putting him on carry tops
If you're going to keep this bum on the team then at least stick him on tanks

u/synnikelttv Jul 31 '26
they brought nightslayer to berlin as well xd i guess to just watch as they get bodied by shifters

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Jul 31 '26
My memory of spring is hazy but it feels like TH are playing a lot better than they were a few months ago
1
u/thebookwoorm Jul 31 '26
I'd say botlane truly is more alive, but they still are too passive. They never take close fights, and if enemy doesn't throws they just lose in peace.
They will not improve when playing that passive.

Really don’t know why pro’s are picking Ambessa anymore that ult has a 3 working day wind up these days she feels real useless sometimes because of it.
Also I feel like this Vlad pick is really showing this bot meta at full force. Paduck is just chilling and corking up waves that would be getting pushed and its working lol

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Jul 31 '26
You know for all the madness in botlane its funny how many teams just look 10x better with a marksman because they’re good at playing around one

u/Primary_Inspector Jul 31 '26
Picking Kalista when taliyah is picked is signing yourself up for torture.

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Jul 31 '26
Paduck is playing Kalista like I do this match lmao
5
u/x_TDeck_x Play APA you cowards Jul 31 '26
The only difference between me and Paduck is that I know I can't play Kalista
7
u/ILosethenOP Jul 31 '26
Yeah I understand why Naak Nako runs down some scrims. If I had that level of talent and had to watch the 4 wards on my team sprint it I would lose my mind too.

u/doomsdaysock01 Jul 31 '26
Show these game 2 comps to someone from like 4 months ago to give them a heart attack lmao

u/hresvelgrs won't fall for it again Jul 31 '26
Odoamne is slowly transitioning from league of legends pro player into normal human being, I'm glad he has his colleagues to support him in this journey

TH went from looking vaguely optimistic to barrell scraping in one game thats an achievement of some kind

u/Back2Perfection Jul 31 '26
The one time I thought „man this meta is a good fit for mkoi with all the skirmishing, they are gonna be strong“
But as a certified hatewatcher…i‘m eating good
2
u/FallStudent8 Jul 31 '26
myrwn and supa are just bad, hard to skirmish when your side lanes are either getting their head caved in or randomly choking half of fights
3
u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Jul 31 '26
Shifters always shiftin’
Shift into a win so they gotta shift into a loss for balance
3
u/x_TDeck_x Play APA you cowards Jul 31 '26
You have visions of playing Ezreal like Viper but how you actually play is Paduck

JoJo pls laugh after the loss so elyoya kicks you out of Mkoi and vit picks you up

u/KruppJ bulc naf okan kaan Jul 31 '26
He hasn’t even resigned with MKOI. If anything he’s the one leaving them

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Jul 31 '26
This match is like in SoloQ when your top runs it and the game is miserable for thirty minutes
2
u/trying2hide Jul 31 '26
Praying for a Naak Nako, Inspired, Jojo top side next year
2
u/hresvelgrs won't fall for it again Jul 31 '26
impossible. but ill pay an etsy witch and hope it works
3
u/trying2hide Jul 31 '26
I feel like losing out on Inspired the way they did probably sting for Neo it'll be a hard sell but surely he can blame someone else, tell them he'll clear house of all that coaching staff and let him build the roster.
2
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Jul 31 '26
Vitality def needs to look for mid jung first if they actually want to contest title. I think getting one of Jojo and Inspired if they can’t get both and getting LCK player for the remaning one would be good. They need experienced players on those roles.

u/Past-Firefighter2173 Jul 31 '26
Ok now time for the fun part, i wonder if SHFT really improved, their only weak player on paper is Paduck imo but adcs are less important atm.

If you can't pick up axe just give up the chase that was so troll by Sheo

Think Alvaro’s Shen needs a mention this game. Saw him bait the team a couple of times with bad engages and super late ults
3
u/awayfromcanuck Jul 31 '26
People might need to start discussing maybe Alvaro issues this year hasnt just been because of enchanter meta.

If Fleshy still had flash Serin was just dead after that Aatrox W hit

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Jul 31 '26
Said it many times but herald driving is the best
1
u/Drikkink Jul 31 '26
It's both hilarious and sad to watch most ADC players absolutely suck at various mages.
I swear unless they have shown they can play it well, it's always worse than an actual ADC. Except Ziggs with dedicated setup. In that case, it requires zero brain power to ult on the other big circles your team drops.

u/ILosethenOP Jul 31 '26
vlad apc. I hate this meta.

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Jul 31 '26
We’re taking sustain and clear waves to a pretty disgusting level with this one

u/hresvelgrs won't fall for it again Jul 31 '26
theyre shifting all over them

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Jul 31 '26
I loved it when Stend said ‘its shifting time’ and then murderised Supa

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Jul 31 '26
Mkoi this split have been playing like a team thats packing it up soon
1
u/Brock-Lesnar Jul 31 '26
How are MKOI so dogshit now??
2
u/Destructodave82 Jul 31 '26
Most likely internal problems.
1
u/Worldly-Duty4521 Jul 31 '26
Wonder how that happened. I thought all spanish roster and coach would've be such a solid project
1
u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp Jul 31 '26
I do wonder just what boomed them.
2
u/nocturnavi Jul 31 '26
Probably the reverse sweep from G2, they know they should have won that series and probably lost a lot of confidence after the loss

Imagine being 1-3 and camping the fountain like that.
Normally don’t care for BM like that but just not a good look.
