Super OTG World: Season 5 Shenanigans

[quote=OTGBionicArm]My season three placements landed me in S1 I think? not sure.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]My season three placements landed me in Silver II. I played not very much and got to Silver I, then was clamped and spent most of the rest of the season gaining 6 points a win until the very end when I finally started gaining like 18 or so. It sucked.[/quote]

[*][[Skarner]] is also annoying as crap when fed. [*][[Zyra]] is entirely too squishy. [/list] [b]Things I need to improve:[/b] Beyond the first one, my hooks were a bit too predictable. [b]Summary:[/b] Game started out amazingly. We immediately killed [[Zyra]] and level 1 and then [[Skarner]] at level 3 when he dove us. After that [[Caitlyn]] was retarded. Every lane snowballed pretty hard, but duing mid game we started throwing a bit. Luckily we just outcomped them entirely and won. Questions of the game: [list] [*]What should [[Zyra]] have built? Her build seems off. [*]What do you guys think of that OP AD Jungle [[akali]]? [/list][/quote]

[*]New [[Alistar]] kind of looks hilarious. [*][[Shaco]] is not totally worthless. [/list] [b]Things I need to improve:[/b] I was a tad ballsy during the mid game, which caused my 3 deaths. [b]Summary:[/b] Roughly 20 minutes of this game consisted of me and [[Irelia]] staring at eachother and smashing creeps. My team was winning so hard that nothing could really save them. [[Irelia]] never even tried helping her team, so not sure if she was their salvation. Questions of the game: [list] [*]Is it bad to play a passive laner like [[Maokai]] into [[Irelia]]? [*]Could [[Irelia]] have turned the game around? or anyone on the enemy team? [/list][/quote]

[quote=utopus][[maokai]] isn't a passive laner. I doubt there was much irelia could have done to turn the game around. The only chance she would have for creating map pressure is splitpushing, and irelias aren't too good at that[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]I should rephrase. [[Maokai]] has no kill potential.[/quote]

[quote=Foxy Riven]Mao's so annyoing to play against:p I think he can deny Irelia pretty well. You don't need much kill potential to zone someone out. Seems like it was a pretty solid game though.[/quote]

[*]How to kill [[fiora]] by the skin of my teeth.. and Mega Gnar baits. [*]Reiterating the fact that being a tank means nothing due to the existence of [[Last Whisper]]. [/list] [b]Things I need to improve:[/b] Not much, I was playing extremely well in lane and in team fights, I just couldn't get much done when [[Jinx]] could actually 4 shot me. :/ [b]Summary:[/b] I don't even know what happened here. All I know is I shit stomped [[Fiora]]. By the time I joined the team, [[Jinx]] was like 8/0. [[Akali]] was also fed. We honestly could have won though, but [[Vayne]] and [[Thresh]] decided arguing was a better option. [b]Questions of the game:[/b] [list] [*]Why do I get 4 shot as Mega [[Gnar]] with a [[thornmail]] and [[Sunfire Cape]] with [[Ninja Tabi]]? [*]Did we not have a superior team comp if [[vayne]] and [[Thresh]] didn't give up? [/list][/quote]

[quote=utopus]Their team comp was okay. I'd actually say this is one of those few times that a [[fiora]] fits decently in a team comp. That said, it wasn't like their team composition was leagues above yours. While their composition left jinx with not a whole lot of peel, your composition didn't have any kind of kill threat to [[jinx]]. Sure, she could step out of position and get killed, but what i mean is that your team didn't have the kind of anti-carry mechanic that a [[zed]] mid would have. Learning to bait [[riposte]] is a really hard thing to do, and is critical in winning trades against her. [[ninja tabi]], [[sunfire cape]], and [[thornmail]] isn't as much armor as you think. I think that armor can really help your survivability once you get into the high 300's, with something along the lines of [[randuin's omen]] + [[warmog's armor]]. That said, even if you had that much armor, your bot lane threw so hard it probably wouldn't have even mattered.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Yeah, 3 full armor items = still squishy. That's pretty bullshit if you ask me. And riot keeps making defenses harder to buy.[/quote]
