That TSM vs. VES game is the most entertaining match I've seen in forever. So many plays/lines. Normally lopsided games aren't that fun but it was hilarious.

Also: Yi is next in line for rework it looks like, and apparently they're taking AP ratio off Alpha strike and replacing it with AD ratio, so AP Yi probably dead in a couple patches.

If that is what they do, then rise of the Yi top lane if his Q will hurt while building AD and he can actually follow up with autos. Will still see some play mid as well while not being such a sustain asshole in lane. Will still blow in the jungle most likely unless they really ramp up his damage. CCless jungles just aren't good unless they can insta gib you.

Fuck, I can't watch curse anymore, I am so disappointed in their play.

Spring Split they were doing great and the plays were...okay...but they made the most of them. Then 1/2 way through season they lost their shit hardcore. Dives by Saint that would make bronze level highlights for "fail of the day", catches by members that scream "WTF, why were you there?!?" and just general terrible plays. Now I hear stories about how the team never listens to their appointed advisor anymore and MORE inner-team strife? You all JUST got out of shit with Elementz and brought EDward into the fold to compensate and then literally shit the bed with him too.

Todays team-comp against Vulcan was just retarded.

I am really losing faith, I HOPE their strat is to just pull in strats and then pull it out in the finals but I really don't have much faith in them doing that. They can barely manage a team strat, how could they manage a season strat.

Man, so stoked. First platinum promo and i go 3-1. Renekton top is just so beastmode. Managed to go from Gold V -> Plat V in under 100 games played in gold too.

Stuck in Silver III ATM so I decided to move back to normals for a bit and learn Twisted Fate, Varus, and Pantheon. Anivia and Kayle just aren't giving the same mileage as before. Though that is probably because I have fallen off a bit in my practice.

Anyway, the rework I am looking forward to is Shyvana which should be coming soon.

i`m back on this after a long time off. i got demoted off diamond league for being afk for over a month (biggest mistake ever) and it took another 200 games to get it back. mostly cause i wasn't playing my staple heroes and just went troll mode after losing so hard that i put myself in like plat 4 at one point.

so the funny thing is i`m grinding to diamond and i`m plat 1 and getting like +4/-4 for most of my games and i`m sitting at 64 lp. after 1 win i suddenly get +34 lp. i have no idea why i got that much but long story short i breeze my way back into diamond.

You know, I hope it's not a massive rework. I hadn't played shyvana at all until she was free last week, and I like her a lot as she is now. Maybe she's a little weak overall, but that can be fixed with number tweaking. She's one of the best 'control' junglers due to her quick movement speed and fast clear times. She can go counter jungling and steal a bunch of shit, and generally get away if spotted once she's lvl 6. Her ult is up pretty quick if you keep farming. She's not the best ganker or dueler, but that's ok. If you just straight brawl with everything off cooldown, in the right order, she does deceptively good damage though.

Really, maybe a tiny bit of cooldown reduction at her early ranks of skills and she'd be viable again imo. And/or, a little slower on her fury decay when she's in dragon form.

She was considered a top tier jungler in season 2. Not sure what happened exactly, but supposedly some item changes in season 3 ended up marginalizing her,

I'll chalk this up to a coincidence, but 3 games in a row this last week, shyvanna jungle carried on the enemy team. She got huge in all and won it.

IMHO she's still very good. Most likely some pro said she sucks now with the end result being that sheeple follow suit and end up dropping her. She hasn't received any nerfs that I know of since the day she was considered top tier, and I can't think of any S3 item release that could honestly take her from top pick all the way down to bottom.

Counter jungling which was her thing became pointless with the old-new jungle that was introduced. She was never a great duelist, or ganker but she was really good at mobility and getting in to your jungle eating everything and getting away. Basically starving out the enemy jungle and utilizing good buff control. She'll see a lot more play once some pro remembers her because the new-new jungle caters to strong counter junglers again as Nunu is showing. Nunu, Phoenix Udyr, Shyv will all become pretty strong again I think.

Yeah, Counter Jungling and Unlimited Oracles. You ran around clearing wards 24/7 and as long as you were level 6 you were pretty much safe wherever you went due to burnout speed bonus, being able to duel very well, dragon forming away or using flash/ex/ghost to run. The new jungle and the time limit on oracles basically gutted her, especially since her ganks are run really fast at the enemy and hope your lane will have CC.

The changes to jungle camps (stacking HP on the big mob) is what ruined her. She had the fastest clear in the game when AE was the king of jungle camps and could use that to counter/bully the enemy jungle big time. Now she just has no CC and a limited gap closer and will remain irrelevant until they change her or the jungle.

Yeah in the current jungle she has nothing that the other top tier junglers don't already have + something better. She only really duels well once she gets mallet.

With Shyvanna I would want her ultimate to break roots and for it to have the same temporary immunity that Malphite, Vi, and Malphite enjoy during travel. Being unable to even push R because you are rooted sucks and getting immediately tossed out of the air WHEN YOU ARE A FUCKING DRAGON and not making it to your destination sucks. The other thing I want to see happen is for her skillshot to no longer be literally the lowest reward skillshot the game has to offer. It's range sucks, it's single target, and the benefit for landing it very underwhelming.

It looks kinda cool in dragon form. That's the best thing you can say about it.

Ya I was thinking if they gave her a small amount of CC, probably not hard CC, but something like her twin bite or flame breath having a small amount of slow on it or something she would be in a better position. As is now if the lane your jumping doesn't already ahve some CC for you the enemy team just backs out.
