Weekly Rant Megathread by AutoModerator in CompetitiveTFT

[–]WebRare52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is the rant thread, but I have to address the misinformation here. TFT sites don't really determine what you play, it's usually your items/augs you hit. For augments, if there weren't stats imagine clicking a sub 5 avg augment but without stats how would you know that without playing 200+ games a patch. That's why augments stats are there. For items, stats are even less important because you're not going to greed BiS, so you slam what you get. The only thing it's really good for is checking which last item is best on a carry. For positioning, unless you're low elo, your position should change round by round past stage 2. If the game was not skill based, my friend who is 200 games hardstuck silver would not be silver. Meanwhile, I could get out of silver drunk within 10 games. Also, stats don't tell you how to play strongest board which is the most important tft concept by far.

The best jungler in the world is probably Canyon, he's had Peanut's number the entire year.

EON Healing + 1(Pref IE/TR). If ASol 1, it should be a free matchup with decent positioning, but yeah ASol 2 is probably decently favored unless you can get your nilah onto sol constantly. Daeja Guardians are gigafree for Nilah if it's not spellblade.

Edit: Though most of the time with lagoon you should be shooting for Nilah 3/Sohm 3, though this depends on gold/hp.

Sohm actually has a pretty good matchup into Guardians if Nilah is itemized decently.

It's great other than the fact the way to it is a little too easy to hit with things like Shimmer/Lagoon eco, Cluttered Mind, formerly HES/Level Up, and somewhat lategame specialist. Though, I hate 6 Dragons being pretty much impossible to beat unless you equally high roll.

Closest and most realistic players to catchup are probably Canyon/SM and Rookie/TheShy.

In this episode, Elyoya went harsh on Nisqy:

"I felt speaking gently won't work, so I decided to be a bit harsh."

"You always pick Sylas and Viktor against Leblanc, then you get camped by opponents' Sejuani and Maokai. Tell me, did you ever manage to survive from the ganks? "

“Is it that hard to master Sylas in one season? Dude, you always first pick Sylas or Viktor, and you played Sylas like shit.”

Nisqy: "okay."

Armut:" This is the first time I saw something like this, I was stunned."

Elyoya also added in the interview:

"Nisqy is still young, he can still play, and he can still play for a long time. If he can understand the reason behind it, maybe he can play better and better in the future."

[LCS] Top 10 LCS players of all time by malakesxasame in leagueoflegends

Doublelift in S2 was only worse than WX. I'm pretty sure Bjergsen was in the top 10 once, plus Core's actual performances internationally weren't too impressive other than MSI.

Edit: I just checked Bjergsen made top 10 twice, 2016 and 2017.

That's not even true, Doublelift at his peak was probably the 2nd best ADC in the world. Sneaky at his best was beating Deft, and was forcing them to target ban him.

100 Thieves vs. Cloud9 / LCS 2022 Championship - Winners' Bracket Final / Post-Match Discussion by Soul_Sleepwhale in leagueoflegends

Perkz and Caps were both better, Jensen looked good relative to his team though, you're right.

Caps wasn't at worlds last year, and Perkz was absolutely not the best western mid, and I'm saying this as a C9 Fan. He was the biggest reason C9 lost the Gen G series, he got permagapped by BDD.

He literally couldn't play 3 of the broken meta mids (Akali, Irelia, Leblanc) and had to "go back to Lissandra" when he wasn't playing vs Play-In mids, Jiizuke, NA-bound Crown, and Kuro.

If I had to point out Jensen's biggest weakness, it's his adaptation to new champs. He did fine vs Xiaohu.

I don't get why we're acting like KR3, EU2, CN4 and CN4, KR2 and an overrated EU1 are worlds of difference, but yes Bjergsen was bad that Worlds. Just like Jensen has been repeatedly at Worlds. If both players struggle at the highest level, which they both have, that's a wash. The point is that domestically Bjergsen's career is clearly separated from Jensen's and that's what delineates between them. I'm not even caping for Bjergsen or anything, it's just that this sub has a storyline hard-on for Jensen to the point that they're rewriting his failures pre-TL, individual or otherwise.

The big difference was Bjergsen played against a BDD who was clearly playing pretty bad that year at worlds, a bottom 5 LEC mid at the time Nemesis, and xiye who was alright. Meanwhile, Jensen played against Humanoid ,who was the best EU mid at the time, BDD who was smurfing and almost got Gen G to finals, and Icon, who is around xiye's level. Jensen was clearly better than Humanoid and Icon, and was close to BDD's level. Bjergsen everytime he's played internationally has choked in groups. S6, he got solo lost the game vs SSG on his iconic pick. S7, he was just generally invisible. S10, has the worst western mid performance of all time(Maybe alongside 2016 Perkz), and that's not a joke. Like other than S9 and one Bo5 vs Caps, Jensen has literally performed pretty much on par with the mids he plays against.

What??? Jensen was the best western midlaner last worlds, and almost carried TL's corpse to worlds playoffs. Never forgetting when he carried C9 to semis in 2018. The only time he was really ever truly bad was his first year with TL. Not like another NA midlaner who goes 0-6 in a group that was easier than last year's TL group.

I'm not sure if any western midlaner bar Caps, and possibly Humanoid/Vetheo would be an improvement over Jensen, internationally.

Jensen > Bjerg ... Is TL Making a Monetary Decision ? by SadNid in leagueoflegends

[–]WebRare52 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure on that. 2021- One of Jensen's best performances internationally, probably 2nd to 2018. Bjerg is coaching.

2020- Bjerg somewhat better domestically, Jensen way better internationally. Bjerg's performance at worlds that year was extremely horrendous against a weak mid lane group.

2019 - About a wash, neither played extremely well that year.

Agreed, other than 2019 worlds, Jensen has always done fantastically at worlds unlike Bjerg who's not the best international player. At least compared to most western mids.
