c9 is first

dig started strong and managed to end below curse
clg is counter logic
tsm is almost certainly worse than clg but they'll probably pull some voodoo playoff magic
eg pulls into 7th, miraculous avoidance of elimination imminent

now, on orianna

lane bully

This is her only true defense against assassins; while one may argue that all ranged champs are supposed to dumpster melee champs early on, Orianna does it even better with her passive. So yes, she could be a lane bully, but pick an even better ranged bully like Lulu, Syndra, Xerath, or even Karma or a very very skilled TF and she crumples into nothing.

get jumped on, just protect dissonance

you have no idea how many teamfights I almost threw doing this, I owe it to poor positioning generally but the point still stands, she NEEDS that shield on the initiator for faster travel time, and she NEEDS that dissonance after shockwave for the burst and slow. the cooldowns are long enough so that the enemy has ample time to regroup, and as ryuu said, if i'm not as farmed up as I should be, I could be losing tons of damage from anything that isn't an optimal fight

only 6 ad

in conjunction with nerfs to chalice. the balance team isn't stupid, they know it's core for her, so they can only take baby steps with her base stats for now

uh it's at like 47-51% and has been like that for literally years

I mean LCS Ryuu. I watched some NA LCS games and I don't think they landed a single good shockwave; and there were at least 2 'sombreros' as it's apparently so common the casters have nicknamed times Ori ults around herself; and 1 complete whiff.

Speaking of Dignitoss vs LMQ was painful to watch. Who's bright idea was it to have 2 people run that deep into enemy lines without backup nearby? Yasuo just got melted and the fight was a rout.

I love how one of the constants of this game is that any time any says "trust me" you are absolutely guaranteed that they will feed, even in their easiest matchup.

We must be playing different games then.

Because whenever someone says "trust me" that usually entails that person being the most fed person on the entire game and carrying our team to victory.

Unless that person is me, if so then I'm probably playing something like Jungle/Top Karma and either dump the enemy top laner/feed my team tons of kills or go even and then proceed to lose the game because Karma doesn't really carry by herself.

(Hard for me to go negative on her considering how many escape options she has and just how passively I play when I'm not something like 5/0.)

Raikaria · « **Reply #964 on:** August 05, 2014, 09:23:09 AM »

Generally the words 'trust me' for me do mean they'll feed incredibly. 95% of the time this is when they pick themselves into a hard counter; or the sentence also includes 'smurf'.

A couple I recall in particular were ranked games. Someone picked Sivir into Caitlyn despite me warning them about it. They got crushed and fed and lost us the game.

Someone picked pre-rework Xerath into Ahri and fed so hard it was impressive and I actually reported this one for assisting enemy team because he ignored the entire rest of your team telling him Ahri vs Old Xerath is the hardest counter in the entire game; then did it anyway and literally went 0/10/0 in 20 mins.

Recently someone picked Annie into Morgana with the ol' Trust Me. Annie is hard countered by Morgana. She was just useless and free gold for the enemy team.

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #965 on:** August 05, 2014, 09:23:15 PM »

And yet whenever someone else says "trust me" in my games, it's always an ELO Jobber.

As in always.

Possible Veigar Legendary incoming.

Final Boss Veigar. [Ties into the Arcade skins]

===

Crushed a Vayne/Leona botlane so hard as Lulu [With Lucian AD] that their jungler ragequit after trying to help cover the botlane while they were gone only to lose all his HP and almost die.

It was a Yi; but still; when Vayneand Leona get completely zoned from the wave by a Lulu walking back and forth...

Also the fact it was Yi jungle meant I knew I could be aggressive as hell with my poking.

Ihey guys, is there any rule to which champ gets the victorious skin?

Schezo · « **Reply #980 on:** August 13, 2014, 03:32:49 AM »

Generally someone used throughout the season. So yasuo and Lucian.

Raikaria · « **Reply #981 on:** August 13, 2014, 04:48:08 PM »

Not Yasuo; he's getting a Raiden skin.

[No; seriously. It's Raiden. Or maybe Jetstream Sam.]

Also Neither of them fit the teasers.

I said it before; I'll say it again; my chips are on the Ultimate being for Xerath and typing into this who 'Asecension' thing and the entire Shiruma thing they've been hinting at since the main website got revamped and they threw everyone in Shurima in the same style they threw everyone into the Frejorld. Not to mention Sivir/Cass' new lore.

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #982 on:** August 13, 2014, 04:57:01 PM »

The whole "fourth letter being A" thing has been confirmed to be recall. Especially when you consider that Morello's next "hint" was that the champion's name had "an A, E, I, O or U in it".

So it could literally be anyone, including Final Boss Veigar.

And I will be very disappointed that, even if the original intention was not to make an MGR reference with Yasuo (which it probably was considering it's basically a combination of Raiden and Sam) I will be very, very disappointed if they don't add in a NANOMACHINES, SON or a RULES OF NATURE reference.

Welp, final boss Veigar hype.

Well, if that isn't an hommage to the bad guy from Rayman. Mr. Dark was it?
Also: The Power Glove - it's so bad.
~~And I feel like many of his lines are jabs at memorable things antagonists said.~~ References
But I really like the skin.

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #986 on:** August 13, 2014, 08:09:41 PM »

The Konami Code for Final Boss Veigar was a nice touch too.

Also...

Liam O'Brien is such a good voice-actor and seems to be in every voice-acted game I play.

Sadly, so far the Mechasuo voice-over is merely the original with a filter.
But I guess they will pull a little bit more with that.
