That Hai move was almost incredible.

ALMOST

that game made me sad

max W on Janna.

Seems like a great idea.

yes.

It actually is pretty great.

pickemgenius · Post Post #1931 (ISO) » Fri Oct 03, 2014 9:19 pm

if you don't mind losing games I guess.

Brandi · Post Post #1932 (ISO) » Fri Oct 03, 2014 9:21 pm

It's pretty standard for high Diamond and challenger Janna's to do. Don't knock something just because you haven't tried it or think it's uncommon.
You can't use one game that you've viewd as a sample size.

I would tell everyone who does that that they're fucking stupid right to their face.

Brandi · Post Post #1934 (ISO) » Fri Oct 03, 2014 9:26 pm

Well you can enjoy being wrong I guess?

Maxing W is stupid. Why would you condone stupid things.

Brandi · Post Post #1936 (ISO) » Fri Oct 03, 2014 9:34 pm

It isn't, but it seems you've made up your mind before hearing anything about it.
It wasn't done in a pro game for shits and giggles, it is actually pretty standard and very effective. When I first heard that people were doing this I was skeptical myself, but upon trying it my Janna games and laning have gotten infinitely better. It is actually amazing.
Maxing shield isn't bad, and you can still do fairly well with it, but maxing W in any situation where you want to be aggressive in lane is optimal. Relying on shielding your adc for him to get in a few auto's isn't.
It's usually better to shield yourself, auto, w the enemy, auto, walk away.

Cloud 9 had amazing moments in 2 of their losses.

Brandi · Post Post #1938 (ISO) » Fri Oct 03, 2014 10:15 pm

They are certainly a good team!

Iecerint · Post Post #1939 (ISO) » Fri Oct 03, 2014 10:49 pm

That was a good TSQ impression.

BROseidon · Post Post #1940 (ISO) » Sat Oct 04, 2014 5:38 am

C9 came so close QQ

BROseidon · Post Post #1941 (ISO) » Sat Oct 04, 2014 5:39 am

That was a really good series, though.

Voidedmafia · Post Post #1942 (ISO) » Sat Oct 04, 2014 7:15 am

C9 looked like they really went on tilt after Game 2.

Voidedmafia · Post Post #1943 (ISO) » Sat Oct 04, 2014 7:42 am

Eh, I think they should've backed off after the first nexus turret. Maybe they could've gotten both and escaped, but trying for those AND the nexus was not a good call.

EDIT: Though they took more damage than they should've, and Heart had an AMAZING 3-man bubble on the inhib turret, which really cut into their damage. I still honestly wouldn't have pushed that far, IMO.

C9 may have lost but GODDAMN was that a good series. C9 looked incredible. Even gods can bleed. #C92015WORLDCHAMPS

Heart's Nami was absolutely obscene.

C9 put up a strong fight, did pretty well. THE GAP IS CLOSING.

zoraster · Post Post #1946 (ISO) » Sat Oct 04, 2014 10:42 am

how long do you think c9 as a team can stay intact?

xRECKONERx · Post Post #1947 (ISO) » Sat Oct 04, 2014 10:46 am

They're all pretty young. But, it wouldn't surprise me if Hai stepped down after next year. He's looking pretty...ragged.

Collapsed lungs would probably do that to you. Depending on how hectic Spring '15 gets, he might have to step down in between splits.

xRECKONERx · Post Post #1949 (ISO) » Sat Oct 04, 2014 10:56 am

Yeah. Plus, he tilts way harder than anyone else. Lemon/Sneaky/Meteos seem able to bounce back from defeat without taking it too hard, but Hai (and Balls, to a lesser extent) both tilt.
