Those nid changes probably wont do anything to her current power level. Bushwack is not the problem. They shifted some damage around in her AOE spells in cougar form but they will most likely even out in the end. Her Q in cougar form is her biggest problem and its untouched. I think if they lowered the damage or nerfed the range of her spear it would really take away from her iconic spell and what she is known for but if they nerf cougar form to much she will just revert back to an an
I pretty much never lolking people any more during champ select or loading screen unless they want mid lane so I can see if its worth giving it to them or if I should take it incase they are one of those people that decided to main mid lane after seeing bjergsen play mid zilean on stream (yeah that happened). The only thing I get tilty about at champ select now is if people pick champions into there counter picks. Its like willingly jumping off a bridge into a spike pit. You can prett
bryff seems to be fairly busy with school right now so I wouldn't count to much on seeing him around. Sejauni: Id consult with Boaz on this one since he has like a million sejauni games. Also Diamond played Sejauni yesturday for Gambit and did fairly well on her. Check out his build (actually gets sight stone). Vi/j4: J4 is still J4 but he is more susceptable to jungle invades (still fairly easy to escape invades with combo). I think Vi is slightly safe pic
I also think mao kai and malphite are not terrible in this jungle but are just not played much. Mao doesn't really take damage in the junlge and malphite can clear with a healthy HP (slowishly if you wait for his shield to regen inbetween doubles and red or blue and gromp). AD malphite is better in the jungle and starting W for the aoe on autos. They both have really strong CC for ganks and are always relevant late game even if they have a shit jungle. dueling wise they both are not to ba
I guess I should of clarified in my original post about the jungle is that you already only see like 4-5 main junglers (nid, j4, lee, reksai, vi) already. I do not see this trend changing at all with the jungle changes. These 5 junglers are still the only ones that will be played since they don't give a fuck about any of the changes.
I don't really see to much changing in the jungle. A slight nerf to j4, smites range and the jungling item literally everyone buys? unless I missed something they didn't change to much.
I think doing like 1 drill against bots would be more than enough to get a feel of how the jungling will go and about what in game time the gank would happen but to really get the dive right you would have to play a few normals versus real people. A study on how turret aggro works will have to be done as well. I think Phreak explained it really well after one of the CLG matches last week where Zion got dived as rumble and managed to pick up a kill and not die during a 3 man dive.
That lane swap was also a huge part of us winning that game. Anyways I also wanted to mention that I think Pacov + Hunny bot is a winning formula for us. You guys definitely play well together. I am sure the duoing in solo queue is a big part. Even though you are not the biggest fan of playing support Pacov its working very well for us.
I think sticking Dan mid was the right thing to do. He plays mid in solo queue mostly and has a more meta champion pool than me. I also have a pretty meta top champion pool at the moment (missing gnar though), I have played a ton of mao and renekton before I went so hard on mid lane. Unfortunately I do not think me playing top will happen often with the people we play with unless Dan is available to take over mid. I believe Dan is a better mid laner than me and it's a hard thing to a
[quote who="pacov" reply="1342" id="3525223"] Oh -and cow is off the ranked team and I'm the new mid - welcome to challenger boys. [/quote] probably a good idea, maybe I should just retire like scarra and coach you guys!

[quote who="Thundercles" reply="1339" id="3525065"] Am I still on the team Cow? [/quote] If anyone should be benched it should be me. I played poorly. I am not sure I know how to win a game any more. If you look at my game history I have probably won like 3 games out of my last 20
I sort of didn't stick with my mentality of dragon fights either. Dragons 2-3 need to be either taking when we wont be contested or as a collapse onto the other team as a group (not by me running in all rambo cause I have zhonyas). Ill try to make better calls on dragon fights. I am also trying to speak more but I tend to be more quiet on summoners rift than I am on twisted treeline.
I think game three I should of picked a different champion. I think I could of been aggressive on lux if I was brand. I had some bad calls especially around dragon pit in the first and last game. Ill try to play better and stick to brand more often when its a match up that I can play him in. Other than that I was pretty happy with our play. Some bonehead getting caught out mistakes were made by all but it happens.
Is your birds name Anivia? I hope it is. As far as people not doing well for an extended period of time goes I don't think ill be kicking any one out off the team since we have a limited number of friends and I can't exactly call up voyboy or the oddone to fill in since our team isn't well known. I do think we have a few players that are flexible and can do well in 2 or more roles (hedige:top, mid, adc; Dan: top, mid, adc; Pacov: adc, support, top; me just about anyw
We could also try some lane swaps or jungle buddy system ending the clear in a dive on the guy that is solo 1v4. Then swapping the ADC/support back to the 2v2 side. I have watched a lot of LCS games and have seen this orchestrated a few times. We could try it for some fun.
If Pacov only wants to play 1 or 2 games as support before getting sick of it we can always look at the option of normals for the rest of the night (I would probably just opt out and play ranked solo). Although Pacov playing support is really a situational thing given who is online that particular night (Dan is usually afk when in game, bryff has started to play more often again, brad has been around a little more than usual) I think he is one of the best out of us at it when he is in a happy
Re: streaky ranked team games. I find that my solo queue is pretty streaky. There are times I win 8/10 games and then all of the sudden I lose 5 in a row. loses happen and for whatever reason I tend to see them in truck loads when they do.
