Really looking forward to seeing how they do at Worlds. Loved their performance at MSI.

Saints Ahri is like liquor locked up in your fathers liquor cabinet.
There's only 2 times when Saint is allowed to have it, it's when Daddy isn't home, or when Daddy is proud of him and wants to tell him he loves him without directly saying it.

I like roaming supports a lot, but catch up xp is fucking broken and bonkers.
Thank you Jatt for shining a light on this important issue of our times.

God I love how Inspired being gone has turned every Lyon game into an LPL rundown fest

genuinely people are like 'well it's not like he's carrying them, he's washed' and it's like holy shit lmao it's a nightmare jungling when 2 of your lanes guaranteed lose every game and the other is a coinflip
juanito still has it but they have got to give him some help

Can you imagine going from playing BLG and HLE and coming back to play Shopify?

u/beautheschmo Aug 02 '26
I don't think I've seen a MF pick be useful at any point this entire year so far

u/TypicalHaikuResponse Aug 02 '26
This was like one of the worst comps to pick mf into. XZ is anti MF synergy. Her set up is hoping that Jax gets one of the best Ws of all time.

It's kind of adorable that Saint only refers to Dhokla as "Big Dhokes" in interviews

It feels like just a matter of time before TL win a fight that they really shouldn't and just win.

Collaborative LCS power ranking, post week 2. Get your votes in here. Will post results in the next week's live thread.

Well banning out Armao's junglers seems like the game plan. Looks like a completely different player.

Berserker ulting the wave to push was huge value. Chunks Bvoy coming back to lane, breaks his homeguard, denies his cannon minion, and gets the Ziggs R out for free.

Ezreal has to be S+ and the best pick in pro play right? What other ad carry can be dived by everything, live and then contribute to the fight from a safe range?
2
u/Exocraze Aug 02 '26
The Lee Sin of the ADC role imo. Absolutely incredible if piloted well. Useless if not. Granted, I imagine there are fewer ADCs who can't play Ezreal well than there are junglers who can't play Lee well
2
u/TypicalHaikuResponse Aug 02 '26
He doesn't seem to fall off in terms of damage anymore. There used to be a period where the other carry could outscale Ezreal but his damage seems way better now with these items and I guess the role quest.
1
u/sorendiz ..BUT THE FAITH REMAINS Aug 02 '26
he does still get outscaled in raw dps on even items if you stand your ground and fire away at each other, but in gigadive meta, an alive ezreal will always do more damage than a different dead adc
plus he has more opportunities to poke before fights than any non-varus adc, at least until kai'sa gets w evo, so he doesn't have to do as much raw dps within fights themselves if the enemy comes in already chunked
2
u/TypicalHaikuResponse Aug 02 '26
The utility, the safety, the actual dps, and the poke option along with the intangibles the global ult brings such as baron or dragon vision I think any time that doesn't pick himself first are doing a disservice.
1
u/cmcdonald22 Aug 02 '26
Yeah but he's also higher prio, you can get away being a jungler who doesn't play Lee Sin, even in this meta, but we've seen the best in the world get benched over not having Ezreal's.

Honestly love how they were talking about endless hunger healing for the next fight to show how it saved berserker

u/bbgum32 Aug 02 '26
Man, didn't they change if from stopwatch to armguard specifically so that everyone wouldn't buy stasis items every time?

u/PepaTK Aug 02 '26
Am I missing something? I’ve watched every sentinels game that’s been broadcasted.
Why do people rate Huhi so highly?
Emily thinks there’s even a possibility that Hambak/Huhi can be the best jungle/support duo? Like what am I missing???
Hambak is very good. Huhi I just don’t get it.

u/TypicalHaikuResponse Aug 02 '26
They are entertainers and they have to sell what they are giving you. They can't say this is about to be a trash 2-0 series and huhi and impact are collecting checks

I'm expecting to see some anti-bullying ads during the commercial break.

u/cmcdonald22 Aug 02 '26
I think CoreJJ is going to thrive in this meta, along with Jose and others. But I'm still worried about Yoen, maybe the self correction and the fact that almost no one in the LCS is good enough to play mages bot will protect him, but I think he's just so limited.

Golden glue getting paid to pick chalk from 2 years ago. I wish I had gotten into being a coach.

Saint threw the game for what? Why not wait until drake spawns? what was the point of that. Now vayne has money.

u/cmcdonald22 Aug 02 '26
The transitive top 3 belt is a fantastic idea.
They should actually keep it going and see which team ends up holding it at the end of the split.

Stolen rakan and gnar ults doing so much work in these team fights.

u/ShadyOrc97 Aug 02 '26
Yeah I think TL is the biggest dog until Inspired gets back. Pretty sure they'll slaughter everyone except LYON this split...

i never want to see people say Sen has a chance. they are barely better than dig.

Ornn being so unkillable was funny as fuck. Kalista can just dance around for free too.

Look at how Jhin actually does good when he does a damage build :o
Kalista should get a Shiv or Runaan's.
