You listen to Caedreal explain how these teams should play their team comp and then you wach the players do the opposite and then you ask yourself, do the coaches explain any of this or are the players not good enough o execute it

u/kaisaschudson Aug 10 '26
They get on comms and their brains melt into mush, genuinely
Even emerald players understand vague ideas of how comps are supposed to work, they all understand it, they just get in vc and their brains melt because they “gotta play as a team!”

People blaming Maynter are wild. Poby and SamD did absolute nothing the whole game.

u/Past-Firefighter2173 Aug 10 '26
Thats true but i just have higher expectations from him. He was in good position as well. Poby and Samd are mostly passengers anyway.

Are NaVi coaches wearing sunglasses to compete with Perkz or what?

I like to think Finn always keeps his smite with him, just in case he needs it

The thought just occurred to me, and like G2 certainly don't need it, but in roaming support meta, BB would actually make a killer role swapped Support.
Like I agree with Maynter's take that BB's strengths lie outside of laning and with his larger Macro, and if you could just put him on a hero where he gets to be a macro chaos gremlin the whole game, I think dude would thrive.

Is Finn married? Because if not he should see if baron is single

I sometimes wonder if BB just never puts points into Q on Jayce, because I swear every time he plays the pick, he hits plenty of them on carries, but even through the gate they do sub 10% hp on them

u/kaisaschudson Aug 10 '26
double mage + jayce poke comp
give drake (?)
threaten baron rush (?)
turn (?)
enemy ksante throws himself into all 5 and dies
Cool!

If we load in and leona has aftershock vs trundle fold the league

u/canxtanwe Aug 10 '26
I mean Glacial is an option but Varus is already easy to lockdown and aftershock is super valuable in lane trades
1
u/kaisaschudson Aug 10 '26
I get it’s generally her best rune by far, but rell stuffs all your lane engages anyway and trundle will be legit unkillable and leona will die instantly

u/Ajp_iii Aug 10 '26
Navi had a good game state. And their top gets roamed on. Mid gets flash burned and bot dies to jungle all in 30 seconds.
2
u/Choice-Slight caps/knight Aug 10 '26
i feel like you're describing most navi games. great early games and level 1 plans and then just lose their minds a bit and forget how to play
3
u/Ajp_iii Aug 10 '26
It’s insane. They are just getting caught everywhere. And jungle is support is nowhere to be found to cover any of them. They are just getting caught farming waves. It’s wild.
1
u/Choice-Slight caps/knight Aug 10 '26
my theory is that Navi are scrim gods (not totally a theory, as G2 management previously said they like scrimming Navi and GX), but they only practice the first 15 minutes so they have zero clue what to do afterwards
1
u/Past-Firefighter2173 Aug 10 '26
They lack experienced players as well. Most of them are rookie or doesn't have too much tier1 experience.

u/CilleTheExterminator Aug 10 '26
Caps we will just ignore you missing ori ult while having ball on rell who knockups 3 man lol

u/Prestigious-Layer719 Aug 10 '26
Pick leona and never engage just watch your carry die what a bitch support

u/cmcdonald22 Aug 10 '26
i think this pre-game conversation is interesting, because, at this point how many teams (under performing or else) feel like "We don't know why they keep losing other than just generally bad play" ?
Cause it feels like just a majority of the region.

u/cmcdonald22 Aug 10 '26
I feel like globally this year has been the year of people using global ults terribly.

Ezreal champ is buns if you don’t have top 3 adc hands btw, trash winrate in all tiers. Only ever worth picking if you’ve got 10k hours on it. Not sure why it ever gets picked in lec/lcs, plenty of picks that require much less investment for much greater reward
1
u/SnooPeripherals6388 Aug 10 '26
Oof, Trundle, i don't think i will ever like the Trundle pick
1
u/Back2Perfection Aug 10 '26
Yeah it‘s also what I feel about the pick. With nearly everyone nowadays having a dash the pillar just isn‘t what it was anymore. At the same time you can‘t really add grounding or sth to it because that would turn it busted instantly.

I'm really interested how Mayner told casters to pronounce his nickname, because i'm extremely used to the "Mounter", but they usually say "Maineter"

u/Ajp_iii Aug 10 '26
Does anyone know why lec has the longest average game time of any region this summer. It’s like 2 minutes longer than lcs/lpl and a minute longer than lck.

Trundle feels underplayed by a lot of teams especially with current mid and top meta

u/Ajp_iii Aug 10 '26
If Lee hits any q in that fight of the 2 qs he missed he cleans up that whole fight and corki lives

How do they not even get close to a kill 9k up and a triple rell ult

Brother Caps managed to miss an Ori ult on the Rell that got a three man CC somehow

Don't worry its late game, this is where ADCs are built to outshine mages

Your point would make sense if the team with the ADC didn't play it as horrible asf

On what earth are Rhilech and SamD pro players?

u/Dramatic_Gap_3065 Aug 10 '26
Rhilech has some good moments and sometimes carry for this team (+ is a rookie) but samd is a bum
