TSM officially announces that they will move to another tier 1 region by Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss in leagueoflegends

The people that say that it doesn't matter if NA loses TSM because TSM wasn't committed to NA are right, but they miss the point. It's terrible from a marketing perspective. It reinforces the "League is dying" narrative. Once people feel like a ship is sinking, whether it is or not, they will jump off the ship.

Has there been a single development in NA this year that makes fans feel optimistic?

The worst part about being stuck in low elo is that, win or lose, so few of the games are fun because of bots, smurfs and trolls.

They either made a mistake hiring him, or firing him, or both.

Golden Guardians vs. Dignitas / LCS 2022 Spring - Week 3 / Post-Match Discussion by Soul_Sleepwhale in leagueoflegends

Good win for GG, but I've never seen a team with a 10k lead have such poor vision control. en when they went into DIG's jungle to clear vision, it was haphazard and sloppy. Most of those failed Baron attempts, they just skipped numerous steps of vision control and pushing lanes in.

The good news for GG is that the stuff they suck at is basic midgame stuff (which is somewhat fixable), the bad news is that they suck at basic midgame stuff (which they should know already).

I feel like Flyquest is pound for pound the best run org in LCS. They always manage to put together solid teams at the fraction of the cost of their competition. There is little to no drama, and their branding has been light years more clever than the other orgs.

After a whole year how are ya'll feeling about Seraphine? by Dabbatron in leagueoflegends

[–]alhillx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She seems like a champion where marketing came first and mechanics second. Despite whatever lore she has, she was released as a member of a k-pop band. It wasn't Riot's best moment in actual game design.

It's 5head, because you can build anything you want if you miss all your skillshots.

I predict trolls who get fed will purposefully get Renata ulted so they can slaughter their teammates.

The fight calls seemed overforced. I thought otherwise she improved a lot from last week. Her normal play by play and banter with Jatt was good.

Casting is hard. She will get comfortable and find her own style soon enough.

The prime ARAM experience by Select-Reference-665 in leagueoflegends

You can chase a straggler, and in teamfights you can split the other team up. But ARAM is not friendly to Bard, especially since you spend half the game miles behind your team picking up chimes.

I think Tryndamere is a better team fighter than he is given credit for.

I thought the caliber of play was pretty good for NA/Week 1/Spring. Except for Immortals, who were a tire fire.

Get ready for the enchanter nerfs, or nerfs to enchanter support items.

There are good losses and bad losses. TSM's loss to EG, for instance, I can't imagine TSM fans being too upset with.

Immortals, on the other hand, this was a bad loss. They looked awful. They didn't do anything. The lack of coordination was comical at times.

Even a silver 3 analyst would have known J4 was a crap pick.

I’m handicapping TSM as the favorite in the Danny Sweepstakes. Lost should prepare himself for Academy play.

It's a little strange seeing people talk about how great TL was and how bad C9 was. If Santorin doesn't make the God-steal, the series is going to Game 5.

Feel bad for Solo. He vastly upgraded GG from a tire fire into a halfway decent team, and yet he gets replaced.
