Look through the Dignitas games here and you can see them do it three or four times: http://ipl4.leagueoflegends.com/
Why would they get beaten in lane though? AP Soraka is actually very strong in lane and Lulu isn't bad either. That said I'm very surprised CLG didn't just ban Lulu and pick Kog and Soraka or something to shut down the strategy.

@Yuki, they CAN do damage, but they should be beaten SO badly in lane, that they are useless. I don't understand how you could go about not denying them O.o
Also, grievous wound kog, and you just ruined their entire strat.
I bet any amount of money that the only reasons why Dig won, are that CLG simply wasn't thinking, and didn't know what to do against them, and the fact that Dig is simply a lot better than CLG.
I'd still like to see it though, anyone got a link?
I have to agree with Luther3000, AP soraka is pretty scary in lane to be honnets, other lanes can farm relatively safely. The point is simply not to lose your lane, and then win teamfights.

Idk about Lulu, if she is top and against a meele she could kinda kite the enemie like teemo with her slow and transform thingy.....
But Soraka is rly strong in lane, if she isnt against a physical dmg dealer Ôo
Again, I agree that raka CAN be strong in lane, but if someone can outrange her starcall, she can't really do anything to them. She's also bad against anything that can outharass her heal, or who can simply beat her in a fight.
I guess it makes sense that aniv might lose, so that makes sense, but these are pro teams, they know what's coming, why the hell would you pick aniv, if Dig has been running this comp?
Lulu, and teemo are both incredibly weak tops. They can't really kite like everyone says, and are both just weak tops in general. Teemo might be better after this patch, but as it stands right now, I've literally never lost to either of them, which is quite a few games.
Additionally, like you said Luther, they could shut down their entire strat in the picks and bans. This strat basically NEEDS all 5 of those exact champs, save maybe mundo to work.

Should've watched the game. And quit criticizing Acid.
It's easy to talk here wth theory, but what Dignitas did was brilliant. No lanes lost, but teamfights were too much to handle for clg.

Janna shield, Lulu shield, Lulu ult.
There's ~600 "heal" that bypasses Grievous Wounds.

>80% slow + cosmetic slow/silence/blind
lol, how are you not kiting with lulu
@Weekend, I'm simply saying this isn't some crazy new incredibly strong thing, that's gonna win every time. Everyone's blowing this way out of proportion.
@RCIX Gj, you just used 3 entire champions to heal your carry for 600. And that's if you get janna. Also, nice assuming I play lulu. She's a support, I play top, why would I have her? The slow is assuming she hits me with it, and the poly doesn't last long at all. Also, both gap closers, and ghost exist. Even if she could 'kite' me on certain champs, I'd just ignore her and farm.
@Khazem, I've yet to see it. Haven't had the slightest problem any time I've seen her up there.
